Probbaly Typhoon again?

That certainly a new perspective. I always thought it is not possible for countries to continue to be dirt poor and and hell hole. Sooner or later, simply the mere cycle of successive events would improve their situation. I mean, at some point they will start to figure it out right? The eternal...

I am not sure, was it?

Hence, the modernization of all F-16 to Ozgur standard should act as safeguard.

Despite middle income trap being a big problem, developing/emerging countries will ultimately continue to grow. And in the next 20-30 years they will likely to achieve GDP within $18000-25000 range per capita. However, if you meant, any emerging middle income countries are very unlikely to...

Anyway, let's agree to disagree than.

Yes, that is my thinking also. But I felt like the guy was trying to make the value based identity system unique to USA not only in the contemporary world but also in light of history by downplaying the other examples. IMO, one of the reason Mongol Empire despite its physical size and shape...

Apperantly, I consider them as realistic numbers. Türkiye alone has a requirement for 250 airframes. And you can almost be sure from current posturing that, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Qatar and Kazakhstan are pre-registered customers. There are other countries that won't go for US or Chinese...

But they already awarded contract for 100 F404 engines to GE. Which means current Hujet will be produced in numbers.

Afaik, non of Turkish pilots had the actual chance to fly the F-35. They were only trained on Simulator.

@F-6 enthusiast @PutinBro Told ya, it ain’t happening.

@Isa Khan any source please?

That is very interesting view point. And to some extent I agree with it. But as far as i understand it, one of the way Turkish economy navigates through massive export-import deficit (projected $90 billions this year if Wiki numbers were to be believed) is by 45-50 billions foreign tourism money...

The issue is not about technical solution only. You simply cannot modify US platforms outside the contract limits. Also, as far as I understood the UBAS Project, it maybe able to fire Air to ground weapons and WVR missiles but it won't be able to utilise the full potential of Gokdogan as it...

Yes there is no stepping up in the value chain when it comes to Garments, but that does not means, we will abondan. It makes tons of money and create large job opertunity for lower income families. (Specially women, as they made up 58% of the employees in the garment sector. Which in itself...

At least the guy got good speeches.

Nope.

@TheInsider I was wondering if Aselsan has something like that. (Man portable precision targeting system for FO)

TAI need to develop dual use light rotary wing platforms like bell 407 series and Airbus H145. (Costing 3-7 millions per aircraft) Which would be more suitable for the needs of developing countries like BD. Otherwise, I don’t think we could afford T925 (costing 25-30 millions each) in numbers.

If you don't have preexisting beef with USA, it is a very good idea for small countries to get under US wings. And Romania is already a strategic frontier for USA as they host the US AEGIS ASHORE ICBM interceptors.
