Ali Turke DDG (for more Turkishness), bro 😉

Ssis is Jörman logic, mate. Ssis is the art of just virtue signaling while selling overpriced shit to obscenely rich Arabs and denying any greedy motives. Prost 🍻

Live-fire shown of SeaRAM (with Phalanx sensor) and RAM launchers. Would love to see test firing vids of Levent from Turkish ships.

Exported T-50 variants are still a decade away to reach MLU age, besides Indonesia, Iraq, Thai or Philippines don‘t yet have budgets reserved for upgrades. They‘ll fly the old ones til they fall from the sky and order small batches of newer models right away. But you‘re right we‘ve to replace...

Could be wrong, but it looks like a reckless and risky pilot maneuver to me 🫣 could have been a catastrophe for the visitors.

That‘s imo a different matter about military capabilities of Azerbaijan and Armenia. Main focus is: Will ROK sell K2 tanks to Armenia and estrange relationships with Azerbaijan and Ankara?

Take into account that US and Europe are ramping up Armenian defense budget with funds since they distanced themselves from Russia. There‘s more to come, the US won‘t miss the chance to set a foothold in Putin‘s soft belly neighborhood...

I hope the government implements the proposed MLU plan. They‘re cheaping out on long-term defense R&D and upgrading outdated inventory through all branches. Army and Marine Corps were always cash-strapped stingy but Air Force and Navy have to keep up with intense Chinese & Japanese arms race...

Pres. Yoon aims to become Global Top 4 arms exporter, that fool will do anything stupid for it. His approval ratings are basement level at lowest 20% and corruption allegations against his wife … any weapons deal news would help him to raise public opinion. And in international relations, even...

Maybe they‘re merely recycling Armenian media reports which borders on wishful thinking sometimes. Usually Korea stays out of conflict zones like Azerbaijan-Armenia. At least that was the policy of administrations before. But the actual president is unpredictable and doesn‘t follow traditional...

There‘re speculative reports on Korean business media, that Armenia is in secret negotiations to purchase K2 Black Thunder MBT from Hyundai Rotem or other weapons from South Korea. If a deal comes true, that will strain the good economic relations with Azerbaijan and to an extent with Türkiye...

Hahaha, yes it makes sense from a Turkish salesman point of view. Nevertheless, lately Korean defense journos were discussing that T-50/TA-50/FA-50 would be marketable for the next 10 years without a follow-up model. They speculated, that KAI will concentrate on KF-21 and 5th/6th gen...

T-7 uses the latest but slightly weaker F404-103 engine variant than T-50 and Hürjet with F404-102 engine. Red Hawk has a much lighter empty weight with modern composite material than older T-50 and could be easily supersonic. Maybe it was a deliberate decision to keep it subsonic for trainer...

It slipped my mind that T-7 is only scratching at Mach 1 similar to M346. I‘m not going to argue further, I used the quote as posted by the Turkish member. What puzzles me still is how "HÜRJET will fill a big gap in its field" could be "100% correct". For me it sounds misleading. But I will...

Boeing Saab’s T7 Red Hawk will soonishly enter the playing field. Besides that: Mr. Demiroglu was pointing out that Hürjet is a unique design aimed for supersonic trainer AND light attack fighter as well which fills a significant gap. Which is wrong bc T-50 was exactly designed as that: T-50...

That‘s not what he meant. He wasn‘t talking about potential customer markets that competitors might have missed - he talks about a product gap in the field of advanced supersonic trainer jet + LCA/light fighter design which is obviously false. "HÜRJET will truly fill a significant gap in its...

You‘re missing the whole point of the argument and deflecting to points that are irrelevant.

Mr. Demiroglu from the interview.

Oh, I‘m chill. It‘s not the point of buying Korean, US, Chinese, Russian, Italian or Turkish trainer jets. He, as a CEO of an internationally operating aerospace company, states an imagined gap in a field where there is none. It‘s about credibility in his field of work. Btw, I can spread...

Is this big gap in its field with us in this room right now? Or is he deliberately not mentioning the elephant in the room? There‘s no gap in this field for 20 years. T-50 = supersonic trainer jet TA-50 = lead-in fighter trainer FA-50 Block I = light combat aircraft FA-50 Block II = light...
