Hell is more likely to freeze over.... I'm not saying that Japan is totally racist and totally xenophobic, but they like to keep to themselves. I was once in Japan myself (vacation), a beautiful country with a very rich culture and friendly people really, but very distant towards foreigners...

You can arrest anyone and make anyone disappear, even Israeli citizens in Turkey or elsewhere. Everything just has to be undercover, nothing more, and you have to deny wherever possible that you have anything to do with it as a state/country. The USA, Russia, China and Europe have been doing...

How accurate is that? I mean, GPS, Galileo and GLONASS were deliberately not added because these navigation options could be directly blocked overnight by the arbitrariness of the countries that control these systems.

Even more frightening is that these Arabs don't even have the self-esteem to avoid being hired. I'm not a racist, but I'm starting to get the feeling that Arabs will immediately abandon or partially betray their country at the slightest warlike pressure. Look at Turkey for comparison, it has...

I wonder what kind of navigation system is used. One thing is already clear INS is definitely included, possibly an optical 3D terrain scan? This would then have to be compared with internally stored data, e.g. a map for course corrections on re-entry into the earth. But then the rocket would...

Wasn't there talk of Tayfun achieving between 800 and 1000 kilometers? And Cenk should reach between 2000 and 3000 kilometers as an MRBM?

We urgently need a small V/STOL MALE Drone that is foldable with a small AESA radar, and a payload of 100 - 200 kg with a runtime of 10-12 hours and a SATCOM connection. This could be used to equip Corvettes, Destroyers, e.g. 2-4 units in addition to the Helicopters. This would give an enormous...

Exactly, unfortunately pilots don't grow on trees, they are a limited resource. It would be a shame if a Hürküs C with 2 experienced pilots could be shot down by a Stinger or another modern mobile air defense system because it wasn't high enough. I can well imagine that terrorists and pirates...

You're right, the costs are around 20 -25 million dollars/euros per unit. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/bomba-haber-tusasta-hurkus-kalmadi/#:~:text=Genel%20M%C3%BCd%C3%BCr%C3%BC%20Prof.-,Dr.,50%20milyon%20euro%20oldu%C4%9Funu%20a%C3%A7%C4%B1klam%C4%B1%C5%9Ft%C4%B1. In hindsight, however, I...

I still don't understand the armed version of Hürküs. The cost of an aircraft of this type is probably 40 - 50 million US dollars. The Aircraft as a Trainer makes sense for training, but as a combat aircraft these things make absolutely no sense. The cost = benefit factor is not obvious to me...

The important thing is that full ownership of the engine belongs entirely to Turkey. And that all components in the engine can easily be manufactured in-house without being tied to a supplier from abroad. Without that, you don't even need to sit down at the table. The second condition should be...

That is a dangerous view, the Americans themselves are not to blame for the misery. It is their government that cannot be changed. There are only two major parties, the Democrats and Republicans, and both are largely controlled by the military-industrial complex, which is what US foreign policy...

What I generally don't understand is how it is that the USA denies us all military goods and technologies. But in this case helping us out, that somehow makes no sense when you analyze their previous steps. I have a theory, but of course it can be very far-fetched, and is of course total...

They did get something to eat, but as tube food like the astronauts. They probably wore diapers to go to the toilet, but it certainly wasn't cool 😂.

Too expensive, Stealth Cruise Missiles are only fired when you really have to penetrate very deep into enemy territory and you don't have air superiority. In principle, if something has to be done immediately without waiting, or if you have a favorable opportunity, e.g. meeting the enemy chiefs...

That's right, but we urgently need Gezgin, so far we only have ballistic missiles that can perhaps reach a range of 800 - 1000km, in this case Tayfun. Cenk is also there for longer ranges, but there are only engine test launches with a dummy missile. Ballistic missiles are generally very poor...

What about the Gezgin project it has become very quiet, Turkey urgently needs an equilalent to the Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. That would make a lot of things much easier. Especially with corvettes, submarines and aircraft carriers and hopefully in the future with the Milligem destroyers, this is...

I know they are working on an adaptive engine for the F-35 or GEN 6 aircraft. I assumed that the current F-22 Raptor and F-35 engines are far superior in both performance and thermal signature to the GE F110 1XX of F-16 & Co. This makes me wonder, why then the new development of a new engine in...

They will never let us produce the engine under license, they won't even give us weapons systems & fighter planes like we are supposed to get engines and then under license. In addition, the Engine Technology is from the late 70s, even if there are new revisions of the GE F110 129 over the...

Turkey will never receive F-16s or F-35s, the money should be demanded back by all means.
