A very well known story. A true story. Maybe we should remember it at this particular moment. When the Turkish Army recaptured Izmir, some zealots laid down a Greek flag on the ground, beneath Ataturk‘s feet so that he could step on it on his way to the city hall. He, however, simply tripped...

Seriously though, what are the countermeasures against anti-radiation missiles like Akbaba, Harm and others? Or are there even any? edit: Sorry folks. As you can clearly see I don’t know anything about this.

At the risk of repeating myself, I will echo your words and add that the term “pocket frigate” is not just a cute moniker but a legit one defining a role where designations fall short of doing the job. It definitely doesn’t describe a doctrine but helps clarify the distinction between corvette...

Alright, are the British gonna give them to us as tokens (free, for instance) to sweeten the other arm deals as some people suggest? And if it’s the case, like you and others said before, not a single weapon and electronic system on the ship compatible with TN systems. Wouldn’t it at least take...

Hmm. A little on the harsh side but safe, good advice. So, that makes you the “Dutch Uncle“ of the forum :giggle::giggle::giggle:

There is this “contemporary“ take on modern designations by @Nilgiri and here is his post if you haven’t seen it yet My understanding is that modern navies are more keen to designate warships around two components. Punch power (Sensors, weapons load) vs endurance (operational range with...

Uh-huh! My friends told me not to play your game :LOL: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I’ll take your word and wait until 21st ;)

The ship they’ve ”torpedoed”, wasn’t that a Gabya class ship (originally Oliver Hazard Perry class)? When did the TN retire any of its Gabya class vessels? I strongly believe that it’s from a US Navy exercise (or even Australian or Spanish or any other former users) edited to the end. EDIT: I...

Unfortunately or fortunately (depending where you stand at any given conflict), there is no metrics invented to measure the will of a defending nation and their defiance against the invader.

Just as I predicted. please see my post below from the past BTW, I didn’t dig up this old post to brag. Just brought it back to exhibit you how predictable some of the DC think tank “thinkers“ are and what a hollow collective set of mind they have in reality. It’s almost see through. Below is...

For the moment, I believe so. Yet, they are churning out so many state of the art tech locally so fast that, it’s not a brainer to rightfully assume that those will be replaced with domestic units in good time. Naval experts here might update and enlighten us about any timetable.

Right on the spot. As a former computer gamer, what attracted me to a computer game, strategy genre in particular, other than game engine, modeling and everything else was the story line and plots and AI responsiveness. So SW is one thing but good scenario and history knowledge and artistic...

“Pronounciation will always be somewhat botched by non-Turkish speakers” This is my major concern when thinking of names. Poor Beyrektirh and Kehnick or Kahnick. Good luck trying to teach people the exact pronounciation of those brands.

NP then. And I won’t be trying to convince you or anything since I’m not obliged to. Now seeing that your claim was based on your beliefs rather than facts, well, GL my friend.

I was beginning to think that I was the only one curious about this issue :LOL: And as I pointed out earlier I think it would be a better to go with NATO designations instead of Turkish designations like Chinese do (J, H, etc) because we will be seeking international customers and Turkey is...

And I take you have not read what I wrote. Just in case though, to clarify; their Serbian, Byzantine mothers were, not Christians when they were wed to Ottoman princes. Every concubine or non-Muslim princess were converted to Islam before marriage and were Muslims when the bond of marriage...

I’d be lying if I say it was unexpected (for me, I mean), therefore cannot say it was sudden. However, like the insider pointed out, one main reason must be that they wouldn’t wanna play into Erdogan’s hands. At this point, I even consider an LM lobby activity on our behalf highly probable just...

I don’t know if you've ever seen the Indo Defence Expo 2022 thread but if you haven’t, you may want to check up on this one. Was one of my favorite threads. https://defencehub.live/threads/indo-defence-expo-2022.15520/ I learned about Retia at there. I find out that they’re rather active in the...

I don’t think that would be a good idea, considering Turkey is not only a top contender at UAV market anymore but a full fledge direct competitor on the market. Selling it at the “backyard“ of the US would be more than salt on the wound. It even can backfire as a PR stunt :confused:

If they revised the design to strip the gun off, well, I don’t know. A gun is the last resort for a fighter pilot and it’s up close and personal. I remember a documentary where many veteran Israeli pilots of Arab - Israeli conflicts mention how things got out of hand quickly when their python...
