No, that's not really guaranteed. Russian attack doctrine requires either complete subjugation of the opposition from Step 1 or else charging so far ahead past their front lines that they'll be forced to retreat their forces to cover their rear positions. It's a very delicate strategy and if...

And by UN hub, they mean that Istanbul will become a dumping ground for every illegal migrant under the sun. Lovely, Istanbul is right on track to become just like Los Angeles.

Russian tank warfare involves a variant of blitzkrieg tactics where rapid forward advances are key (it has its weaknesses, which the Ukrainians exploited during the early years of the Donbas War), therefore relatively lightly armored vehicles that are more mobile make sense for them.

Lol, America would annihilate Russia if we committed to a full-on war. Britain and the former Commonwealth states are no joke either.

How long does it take to charge?

Here you go: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/iran/engineering It's in the top 30 overall (if you examine by individual courses like chemical, mechanical and electrical engineering, some are even higher). This goes for others as well like Islamic Azad University, which...

I think Altay will probably undergo a few more modifications to drop the weight before all is said and done. You don't really need to go over 62-63 tons in most cases. I am not blaming anyone and you need to stop jumping to AKP's defense at every perceived slight. Regardless of who was to blame...

I am more curious as to how the Turkish government handled the fallout. Were there any apologies, attempts to find the culprits responsible for the bribery and punish them, offers to provide some tech transfers from Turkey in return that SK could be interested in (though I don't know what SK...

Drone + control station and all the other goodies needed to properly operate a Bayraktar.

Bold take, Cotton. Care to elaborate?

The University of Tehran is ranked as among the best in the world when it comes to engineering education. Not saying Iranians are ultra-geniuses or anything but they are certainly not too stupid to reverse engineer a drone if so desired.

Yeah, this part is important. In Libya, around 10-20 TB2s were apparently shot down until Turkish EW systems came online and only at that point did LNA start failing to hit anything whatsoever. It's like a rifle and a bullet.

Why does every idiot who wants their nation to be the "next China" forget that China has 1.5 BILLION PEOPLE and their labor force are essentially slaves? If it was, I don't know, Modi saying something like that, I could at least nod my head and say "OK, well that's possible for India if stupid"...

Analysing and copying isn't some kind of Chinese state secret technique.

All of them are in debt? Don't care about tomorrow? Don't you think you might be exaggerating a little there, chief? In my general experience, Turks are pretty good at saving up. Investing in valuables like gold, etc, planning for the future and any bad days (I remember reading that the AKP...

Turkey needs to get back to 2 or 3 lira per USD exchange rate. That's the only way the economy will recover. "B-b-but the trade deficit!" Exports aren't doing anything anyway, Turkey's total growth is still in very minor percentages if you don't count recovery from the coronavirus-inflicted...

Looks like it.

Wasn't Russia at one point en route to JOIN NATO? I think the US even used to make use of Russian military bases in the early 2000s to transport personnel to Afghanistan during the invasion. Hilarious how things turn out.

AKP is gonna end up completely discrediting any rule of law in Turkey at this rate. Even when someone IS guilty, it's going to be damn-near impossible to prove it because of political hit-jobs like this.

Yeah but it also has to do with disinterest by Turks to actively defend themselves online in a calm and logical manner. I do believe there was a British officer who once commented that Turks are the worst defenders of their own interests, even when they are clearly in the right.
