I’m so happy to learn that you wouldn’t get vetoed on engines by the US. If this is the case, hope BD goes for phase 2.

All are valid points and I agree with you but a single engine TFX (which is a huge aircraft designed with two engines to go beyond Mach 2) means a different design. I can’t see how can they overcome this with a redesign effort. That’s what I meant. And now we’re, once again, happen to fall into...

He told earlier that “it would be one time larger” and now says “twice as big of that” o_O I think, coming from the president, we, rightfully, assume that these are the confirmations from the highest authority in the country. However, we must also remember that he is not a technical guy and...

Wait, what? When did Turkey get nuclear ban?

“Our people must become maritimeized. Our culture of maritime and naval affinity must progress. The sea must be part of their lives. Policies to popularize sailing and sea sports among young people should come to the fore. We should develop the dreams of our children by having them visit these...

You know this makes more sense now. - SSN OR SSNB? Why would they get into such a joint venture with Turkey while they will have the Dreadnaught Class in service in ’30 - SS(K) Attack Submarines? Wouldn’t they go straight to the source HDW, or Italians or French? Unmanned Submarines, on the...

“My “daughter “ will not go through male puberty”. This is answers when the reporter bringing up the suggestions that trans women in sports has the advantage of male hormones over female (biologically!) competitors. This gender fluidity, this pronoun tyranny pisses me off the most on this bit...

Happens to be one of my favorite channels. He mostly focuses on ‘other’ conflicts around the world and doing a great job at as much accurate as he can get. Edit: I thought he was flying DCS, not WT?!

To be fair, I think it’s a global phenomenon :LOL:

Thank you @Sanchez for your info gathering. Good old fashion journalism here. :) The last parts of your ‘report’ is important as it displays the inexperience of the major partners of the opposition on both bill proposals. CHP repeats archaic official state lines from old days when Turkey had...

A Russian veto is one thing, but double play by another UNSC member, namely France, is something else should be taken into account. IMO, a UN peacekeeping is a remote possibility as it’s a vast geography to conduct and coordinate such a mission and still practically divided by huge distances...

It was suggested (it was early last year I guess) that the Dearsan project, L 33, was to be fitted with special service delivery vehicle rather than Milden and STM500. is the L 33 project still going, that I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

He actually ‘hinted’ it earlier

Then it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine something around 3000 tons or even larger maybe?

Exactly! The EEZ agreement between Turkey and Libya must always be observed as the mainstay of Turkish foreign policy by all governments. Remember, this geostrategic ‘leap’ from classical Turkish ‘reactive’ foreign policy stand was not our doing. This EEZ thing came to this world after an...

Yes they have a long history of CV operations but don’t have a CV ready UAV let alone a jet powered one. If there is an Embraer UAV project going on, that’s, of course, another story.

Now if Turkey can really pull this off, it will not only cement her place in the global arms market but also firmly establish her as one of the leading warfare innovators in the world! Hope they tie up a deal with Brazil fast. Don’t care whether Tb3 or Kizilelma, just sell an UAV to be launched...

True. And like you said the shift in their military capacity from a limited defensive stance toward an intensified conflict participant is clear as day. This was what boggling my mind for quite a while. It‘s not hard to admire, envy and even be jealous of Japanese achievements of the last six...

NP bro

Nowhere I said that if Turkey can do it why Japan does not do it. I merely asked a question why Japan, of all the nations, does not have an UAV program. And I asked it in a curious tone, because I’m curious. Nothing else.
