Yes, Minuteman III has a CEP of 240m for a 10000km range. Its unit cost is 7 mio $. So it is still a deterrant if you can produce it cheaper and send it to the center of a city with several tons of highly explosive conventional warhead. Also we dont need such a long range, so we can reduce both...

I think it must be even longer range. Not sure whether a missile of 1000km range is the next step after Tayfun with probably 600 to 700km range. I'd give the next one a separare name only if it has at least 1500km range.

It is good that you are for Turan, if I did not misunderstand. But Turan is only possible with a weak and ideally collapsed Russia.

Also whatever we can learn from the tempest project will be useful. Even in the short f35 involvement we learned quite a bit.

Exactly. The numbers he cited are laughable. Cakir is supposed to be a cheap alternative to Atmaca. If we need to take out 30 ships in a war we would need 300 of them for saturation. We‘d also need 200 for backup and coastal variant. From cakir we need at least 1000.

Once the engine and the jet body is there, why it should cost 25 mio to upgrade the electronics? Are the flight computer, the radar, and sensors that expensive? Which of these do we need to buy externally? I thought the radar and sensors would come from Aselsan. Will Aselsan charge us so much...

Thanks for the replies! Then I repeat my previous call that we should really buy those EFs quickly and adapt them to our needs within couple of years at most. At this point any further hesitation or a naive hope for F16V will be disastrous. If they come then also ok, 40 more wont do any harm to...

If it is a small monster why the air force is buying only 16 of them? Or why are we trying to buy tranche 1 EF? If a strong radar and a good missile sufficient for BVR fight, then why dont we just produce 100 hürjets and 100 Kizilelmas? These are the questions that come to my mind with my very...

Yes these guys seem never to learn. And now they are still waiting with RR and Eurofighters and losing time.

No one forced Putin to attack Ukraine. Look at the provocations of greece to us. Are we attacking them? Russia is a scum and deserves perdition.

I dont know about the transition to highly industrialized society but they have plans to build a 1 trillion $ glitzy city. We have accepted and took care of 5 million refugees. What did these guys do? My country is giving away 5.6 bn $ to poor countries, what did they do? I know that they have...

Your dream is unfortunately too good to be true. As soon as Republicans come back to power in US, arabs (except Katar) will sell us again. Their money wont last forever. Alternative energy sources will emerge in the future, which will require high technology. These countries will be poorer and...

It will be the perfect storm for Iran! Their back should be broken finally.

Salaries and perks for the employees should be significantly improved. This is much better than paying HDP representants all that money and allowing civil cervants buy Audi.

I agree that we wont gain much from a war with greece, but we will also get damaged especially economically and regarding infrastructure, factories etc. In return we may manage to hold some islands at a very high price. If US and France decide to exploit the opportunity and help greece a lot...

Just want to ask something and not challenge any opinion. Gezgin will of course be a serious threat for Russia, Iran, France, and probably american carriers. But since greece is so close, dont we already have certain deterrence from our SOM missiles? Also arent cruise missiles easier to take...

Currently both our air force and navy are more powerful than greece. Land forces anyhow. Also more tham 500 Boras should also provide adequate deterrence. So we had at least five years of time to reveal Tayfun to deter greece when they get some marginal air superiority. In that sense not sure...

I also think it was a mistake. On the other hand we need to test our missiles, hence probably we couldnt keep it secret anyway. I had asked this already before in this forum, no one tried to answer. I think this is a crucial question. Strangely enough the administrators deleted my post.

I am not defending the current administratipn at all. If the West would support us both economically and militarily in a genuine way, I have several times implied we should even send soldiers to fight against russian army to revenge our losses from the past and weaken russia even further.

R&D is very costly and for certain technologies the investment needed is enormous. Of course, we should be unique and independent as much as possible. But if we want to continue this pace of technological achievements in the future, we need a certain level of information flow from the West.
