Oh it will be better if Armenia starts a war, I see only advantages for Azerbaijan (with exception of casualties of course)

Earthquake doesn't kill faulty buildings do. If a whole city is erased (Antakya), blaming the quake alone is a farse

Why? If we can afford 40 new F16, 40 new EF2000, why would we not be able to afford replacing all F16's? First replacements will be for 40 F16 blk 30, than 2 batches to replace blk 40's and again several years later the blk 50's Besides main cost of fighter jets are not the initial purchase...

Asolute, I don't see Greece to be able to let upgrade their F35's frequently. It will be a money slurping machine

You guys underestimate drones like ANKA-3 and KE. They may now not ready yet to face 5th gen. but realize that development of drones go much much faster than development of fighter jets. Within several years they can become the menace of any jet, and can become evenly stealth as those $100mln...

IMO Turkiye should stay far away from F35 as the aircraft is the total opposite of what we want: independence Even with F16 we'll stay partly dependent on the USA till the 2050ties, with F35 that will become 2080. If we want quality and quantity we need our own fighter jet not purchased ones...

The 23bln is a max value and it is good for us. example: it gives ok for 900 AIM-120 missiles. Do we order 900 missiles at once? No we probably will order in batches of 150, but 900 have already been OK'd so for the future whether we buy them or not it already passed the congress approval I...

To build new F16's we need to free up production lines, get production line setups from LM etc. etc. (not worth the investment while we are fully going for Hurjet and Kaan) The Tomtas facilities can be fully reserved for upgrades, buy 80 upgrade kits for viper upgrade and pump out Ozgur blk II...

Simply go full rate on Ozgur upgrade, Turkiye has the TAI and Tomtas facilities. Upgrade them in record time to Ozgur blk II level

Turkiye should buy more upgrade kits and cancel buying new F16's, their delivery time is just not worth it. Buy maybe some AA missiles and keep the cost at minimum

I doubt that a 140kg Bozdogan missile can be carried on the wing of TB-3. There are plans for the Sungur missile but I have not seen any plans for Bozdogan. Is it a wishful thinking?

Is a round radome not a blob on the radar?

20bln doesn't make sense Even if the 900 AA missiles cost 3mln / piece it would make less than 3bln As usual the mentioned amount is far above the real value, kind of masking the real sales

Has to be a hybrit than, for Ramjet, Scramjet the missile needs an initial speed that pushes the air inside. These type of engines do not have a fan that compresses air into the engine like a turbojet engine. Or it needs an initial booster that brings the missile at speed

Yes, navalized Hisar RF

Even removing the package alone is not enough since chips are multilayered, they have to find special ways to remove layer by layer and than go from chip architecture level to schematic level to understand the working. It is not impossible but it is IMO even more difficult than design a chip...

While we talk about smart missiles comes to my mind Gürcan Okumus, we still do not know what happened to this guy. Is it so easy to sacrifice someone important like that, we have very important project ongoing: Kuzgun, Gokhan, gezgin and hoooop the guy leading the projects get wasted just like...

I would say OK we have a certain problem with Altay tank production but why are the M60's and Leopard 2A4's still not upgraded. Looks to me that we have a tank problem that goes further than Altay somehow

Unless there is real proof I do not like it when some things are insinuated (like Baykar trying to slow down TAI, where is the proof?) On the choice of Rotax engine I think Baykar has taken the most logical and technically best solution. Rotax has damn good engines that provide the power and...
