    This sale I really would love to be realized, if they start a new procurement tendering. I don’t wanna see France gain any foothold in Black Sea.

    Both Good points and I think you are kind of on the same page but just at separate paragraphs so I think Mr. Kotil’s words will help converge your points. He persistently kept giving the Cold War example where both side non-stop developed design after design, even sometimes one project was put...

    Yes, seemingly Turkey is happy closing deals. Contrary to common belief, some certain small and rich countries of the region do not tend to align themselves into a political rigid pact. They are very fluid and simply go between actors as they see fit. Their most powerful weapon is their...

    A groundbreaking icon of a franchise in sci-fi genre, and deservedly so! - Hey! have you ever been mistaken for a man? - No. Have you? 😝 and not to forget my one and only Ripley’s 🥰 best one liners “Did IQs drop sharply while I was away” “Get away from her, you bitch! “ If they’ve got one of...

    I am surprised just like you but could it be maybe part of an SE Asia expansion plan? After all Tusas, if my memory serves me well, was hiring Indonesian engineers for their Indonesia office, right?

    Yes, yes, yes! Turkish defense industry has stepped over the threshold to become a success story decades later and there is no reason for not being optimistic for our industry’s future. But we must also take heed and learn from failures of others as well as ours in the past. In an academic...

    And, just top of my head: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Northrop to name a few from the USA and Rheinmetall, KMW and HDW from Germany. I believe you’re mainly concerned that Turkish state owned/partly owned firms lagging behind but Tusaş in particular is in the business of...

    Alright. This will be released by an air platform afar from the water intended to be mined without risking the platform and the crew. What I don’t understand is this ‘mine’ does not look like a conventional mine. Hydrodynamics involved here is beyond me, Mr. Layman, but I would wanna know how...

    👍 Before the admin team move this to geopolitics thread, just wanna say one last time that I didn’t mean exclusively a military HW deal. I just wanted to express my sincere belief of developing relations at any level between India and Turkey. Again, this is not geopolitics thread, I know but...

    I agree. But I hope you don’t misunderstand what I said. I never thought a relation simplified to a basic military hardware supplier to India because India is famous for obtaining arms from diverse suppliers anyways. Turkey presents a gateway for opportunities for India as well, like you...

    Indeed, how unlucky one guy can be 😤 But I don’t think it would be a criminal act if the dude defends himself. After all, in every system of law there are fundamental principles applied universally and self-defense is a basic universal right of anyone.

    That’s what I was talking about. Tighten the relations on every level. It would’ve been beneficial to both sides.

    Forgive me if I misquote you but TurAF will be buying KE as many as it will need and it’s an essential ingredient of a new air power doctrine that TurAF has been contemplating for a while now. So, KE acquisition of TurAF will be substantial and more than a “PR show”, if it was even ever.

    But I wanna be friends with India 🙁 Joking aside, we need to improve our relations with India on every level. How we even dare to stay aloof with them while EU, France in particular, the pretentious bully of the hood with colonial ambition intact and undeclared enemy of Turkish interests and...
