    And not to mention, what, like around fifty percent of our annual imports?

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    @what I am one of those who oppose but as I said before I raise my objection for certain countries and also must emphasize that I’m not against arms sales to such countries. The buzzword here is dependent. And let’s face it, who could know this better than us, Turks, who countless times had to...

    That’s great however as Afif pointed out there are few established brands dominating the market. Will ASELSAN go all the way and develop further in the future and maybe make itself a respectable place in the market? Maybe even offering stand alone units for different users in various fields, for...

    Israel Israeli Navy

    For such such a small ship it certainly packs a heavy punch. I think this class definitely deserves the unofficial classification of “pocket“ frigate.

    Ukraine An interview with General Valery Zaluzhny, head of Ukraine’s armed forces

    By the nature of their craft, soldiers are doers unlike politicians and diplomats who tend to be ”able” guys. That’s what I like about them (don’t get me wrong, I love diplomats) and this gentleman is obviously a driven, calm, dedicated soldier. What strikes me most though, was his admission of...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Like many other Turkish defense projects, Altay is surrounded by too much misinformation (false or inaccurate or deceptive forms) and mishaps, failures, and wrong turns on its way only aggrandized this over time. Rarely, however, you hear a first hand account regarding the project with facts in...

    It was just the way I wanted. A close game coming and going between two sides and stars giving their best performances on both sides of the turf. And Messi finishing on a high note. It was beautiful! (y)

    This is a European only list but in my day some of the brightest chemistry students studying in Europe (university students, not high school of course), Germany in particular, were Iranians. Nevertheless, Impressive results, considering how Turkish National education system eroded.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    If my memory serves me well, it was planned to eliminate the manned turret and introduce 130mm gun on Altay Batch 3. Was it in the original road map or the batches were redesignated later, that I can’t remember. Sorry. At any rate, due to cumbersome size of 130mm gun, unmanned turrets are a...

    I somehow got this feeling that we won’t be seeing any penalty shootout for the rest of the tournament but instead will see definite results. I dream and therefore wish for tense an close games and even ones that goes back and forth between teams. But than again, just a dream right For Arg vs...

    Of course :love: And who can forget 2008 team with Šuker. They never became underdogs and so far they are the ones who took the banner of old Yugoslavian football heritage, which in my eyes and memory - together with Netherlands - were the most prolific football schools of Europe, and carrying...

    I don’t follow SSIK very closely like some seasoned veterans at the forum but somehow I kinda predicted this outcome because, IIRC, maybe except one or two out of last five or six resulted in real decisions let alone dramatic ones. However, in my opinion, if they meet within the next couple...
