True. They practically shaved off sections suggesting some anti Turkey guidance advice and added some elements of current Turkish domestic political situation towards the election.

“TAI aims to be one of the top 10 defence companies in the world.” At this rate such an outcome won’t surprise anybody. Slowly but surely they’re becoming a giant industry brand.

I beg to differ my friend. Ottoman sultans were no way devshirme just because until after conquest of Constantinople some princes were married to some Serbian princesses (even few Byzantine brides) Since the dynasty of Osman follows on male succession, Ottoman male royalty can not be married to...

I think they are more like manufacturers production designation rather than a “class” designation for the aircraft such as B for bomber, F for fighter and so on

And why not TF23 Ripley :unsure: Seriously though, I’ve never heard a naming custom based on names of certain geography or a historical figure. So, Fatih or Anadolu should not be considered I’m afraid. Another point: what will be the aircraft nomenclature for air services of the Turkish Armed...

Ah! Phantom, you phabulous old phart :p @Fuzuli NL Why do I get this phantastic pheeling that we’ve done this routine before!? Can you say déjà vu :LOL:

I love the idea of an independent defense industry and as humanely possible rate of domestic platforms as much as the next guy but we must also face the fact that - as mentioned earlier - quite a number of naval vessels will be joining the naval active service list within the year (and even more...

You know what, fair enough. I’ll ask the boys at the “Company“ (wink wink) then :cool:

@Cabatli_TR @TheInsider Hope you forgive my ignorance but what are the fields of application of this material?

Exactly! Recently, wherever the 30-35mm vs 25mm question arose, the only solid answer I see is that the 25mm is required by the army. I’m beginning to wonder whether that’s case though? Surely, The Turkish Army should’ve realized by now that 25mm is passé :unsure:

Dear @Anmdt You‘ve been mounting suspense by bringing out the same statement and every time I bite my tongue not to ask the question :oops: Tell it already bro who’s got the tender and end my misery for crying out loud :LOL::LOL:

Of course dude. Our aircraft, our missile, our call ;) Our end, their end, well in the end it’s dead :p

IIRC, back then, F35 was about to have two different designated cruise missiles within the internal weapon bay. One was the Norwegian missile and the other was SOM. Roketsan and LM had signed a deal for modifying it to fit within the internal weapon bay. After Turkey was given her marching...

No. Since the conformal tanks attached, they should be Block 50, the latest block in TuAF inventory. I’m not sure whether Özgür will include conformal tank upgrades, though.

Three TuAF F16s with conformal fuel tanks rolling out on the runway for a V formation flight. If it is the text you are asking about that reads “Not virtual reality but real”, I don’t understand what they’re referring to either.

If this is the case it’s bad because market economy, as we all know, suggests that individualism and private property are the main propellants behind such a model. Defense industry is the new rising star of Turkish economy and a very strong candidate for a leading role in country’s economy...

I wish our members and guests all around the world a happy new year.

So, if this is Panther mounted on truck, it’s a new system and called ARPAN. Then what happened to Yavuz?

well, every Turkish defense project according to national media, either is poor quality or the Turks are the only and first ones did the damn thing in whole wide world. I don’t care as they are a bunch ignoramus who don’t know jack. And similarly for foreign mainstream media, together with...

I guess everyone will agree here that it will be the legit next gen proper stealth flying wing or form UAV. It was highly expected, anticipated by defense circles anyways. Accordingly it is only normal to have some common features of the class, mainly flying wing form. Also must add that I do...
