That must be a very, very deep kick in the balls for the Greeks in this video. I'm sure the Generals/Admirals of the Greek armed forces will be running with O legs for weeks. And the asshole is already twitching 😏

I don't believe in anything until I hear it from his own mouth from Professor Doctor Mahmut Faruk Akşit.

Then people have not understood the principle of the economy and its rules; after every upswing comes a period of recession. This can sometimes last a decade. Look at Japan after the boom of the 70-80s, the country was in a permanent recession that was very slow to recover. Young people are also...

I see, and what was it like before the yeni lira? Back then, Turkish money was only worth toilet paper. You must have forgotten the good old days, 1 dollar was worth how much? 1000000 lira or the devil knows, where children went to school with rubber shoes and torn T-shirts in southeast Anatolia...

I can imagine that only a handful of people would know this secret when taking office/handing over. For example, the president, defense minister, intelligence chief, Turkey can keep secrets when it is absolutely taboo that this information gets out in any form. But enough off topic

Serious question - who says we haven't had them for a long time? For example, nuclear warheads in very small numbers, e.g. 4-5 pieces as so-called life insurance in case countries try to attack. I am not talking about the nuclear bombs of NATO (USA) which are probably stationed in Incirlik where...

Turkey maintains close cultural and political relations with three countries. For example, with Qatar, which is not as close as with Azerbaijan, but it is significantly better than relations with other Arab states. We even have a large military base in Qatar. We don't need to say much about...

What are we actually talking about? I doubt that KAAN can simply be exported to all countries that want it... If at all only to Qatar, or Azerbaijan the closest allies. The rest will only get drones of different classes if at all, maybe in 15 years we will bring out an export version then we can...

I don't think they're working on Anka 4, and if they are, it's at a very early concept stage in terms of gathering ideas and feedback from the current Anka 3. But to already have the preliminary design here, and how much payload it can carry etc. I doubt it.

This is extremely important if we manage to build up our own semiconductor industry, then we can talk about absolute independence. Let it be only in the military sector, we can forget about ever catching up with Taiwan, South Korea, China & EU/USA, the lead is too high for that. But they can no...

That would be a waste of money, the KAI KF-21 has no internal weapons bay, you might as well use any fighter available... I don't understand why Hürjet was developed as a light fighter/trainer anyway. If they had built it from the beginning like an F-16 alternative like the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen E...

If we were to return to the program, I would buy as few F-35s as possible - 20-30 maximum. We can then fly them in joint NATO operations with the F-16Vs, so we don't need to send our own Turkish jets (KAAN, F-16 Özgur & Co) to fear prying eyes and spying on foreign soil. It makes no sense to...

Bro Taiwan has China as an immediate danger threat, with more than 1000+ fighter planes as opponents. They generate their income from the chip industry, especially through TSMC. USA gives them very high discounts, and help them underhand with maintenance & support, almost the whole electronics...

Because Hürjets are not capable of replacing or fighting F-16's, I would be in favor of producing 60 of them, with the option of 20 more. Otherwise it should only serve as an export aircraft for countries in Asia & Africa. For Turkey, 40 units are sufficient as a trainer variant for training...

That's right, we would just have to add at least 30-40 Kizilelma to our inventory by 2028. Together with the F16 Özgur version, we would then already have a bulwark in the airspace in advance. Akinci/Aksungur and TB3/TB2S could simply monitor the airspace permanently with their patrols and...

We generally don't need any more F-35, the F-16 Özgur, F16 Block 70 and Hürjet are enough in then next 5-6 Years. The hardware & software of Block 70 as an analysis will certainly help the KAAN, Hürjet, F-16 Özgur as version III to become even better in terms of Murad AESA radar 2.0, electronic...

I recently saw an interview with Temel Kotil on YouTube. He said that nothing can be accelerated, new knowledge comes with research, there is no button you press and it comes by itself, it is hard work that costs a lot of time and money. From the realization of the research of a material to the...

Ok, we don't get any other fighter jets ready, neither from Europe nor from the USA, we don't have access to the F-35 fighter jets, we don't get the really good fighter jets from Russia SU57 or China J20 and J31 either because we are a NATO member. The Greeks will get their 40 F-35s regardless...

Apart from that, the weight of money alone was the deciding factor in us getting this deal. I'm sure some senators would have blocked it, but companies like Lockheed Martin & Co certainly told them underhand in no uncertain terms, "We'll fuck you if you block the deal, we're talking 23 billion...

I don't understand some people in this forum, we need these fighter planes, the Russian ones suck, and the Chinese only sell the Russian clones to other countries which suck just as much. They don't sell the good fighters to others, otherwise they would have done it long ago. Europe does not...
