    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Well, setting up production line for high end weapons like A2A missile is quite complex and time consuming task. For example, Denel developed very capable WVR and BVR missiles like A-darter and Marlin. Yet despite having all the blue prints and test qualification data, they still cannot mass...

    I wonder if if there any more info on operational perimeter of MURAD? We know that it should be better than APG-83, Captor, RBE2 or Raven ES–05.

    TR Small Aerial Drones & Loitering Ammunitions

    I have been keeping an eye on this class of UAV. Like Orlan-30 and RQ-21. This type of UAV provide operational flexibility to the field commanders. For example, if sending a TB-2 becomes too risky due to lack of localised friendly air superiority, or capable enemy ADA presence, you may send a...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think the main criticism is, with F110 engine it’s IR signature reduction does not matches that of F-22 and F-35. Both of which has significantly reduced IR singetures due to special engine and nozzle designs and other measures.

    They wanted to sell KAPLAN MT, which is a light tank. But lost the tender to Chinese VT-5. And no, soil isn't much of a problem for 3rd gen modern tanks.

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Afaik, there was no co-developer of F-35's software. Havelsan had some offer for logistic management but that was rejected because of the policy that only US origin software is allowed run with the F-35. Besides, Türkiye was tier 3 partner. It didn't have any access to high end avionics and...

    Nope, it is a very much different weapon. To fire it from NASAM and F-16 it would require software change and integration.

    That is a bit exaggeration. They do have national anthems and flags. Although they don't have any figure like Ataturk in recent history.

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Not really, JASSM cost around $1.5-2 million, more or less same as Tomahawk block IV/V. And they are mass produced. USAF has already purchased 2000 AGM-158 JASSM and planning to buy 10000 in total. @Heartbang is right. They should introduce stealthy variant of Gezgin later if not initially with...

    India India - US Relations

    In India-USA relation, both party need each other for their strategic interests. However, in this relationship dynamic USA holds the leverage. It was unwise of current government to attempt political assassination on US soil. Specially, when India and USA just started to make meaningful progress...

    You are comparing cheap unmanned tactical systems with expensive billion dollars strategic manned assets. B-2 and B-21 are operated by USAF Global Strike Command for conventional and unconventional strikes. The very name 'Global Strike Command' suggest a different mission set, Tactics and...

    Buying 5th gen fighter from whom? F-35 is not offered. (and unlikely to be given S-400 causes some genuine concerns)

    Damn…..the air bubble just tore the ship apart from the middle! This is a significant force multiplier for Turkish Navy's strategic subsurface warfare capability.
