Turkey has so many benefits that Iran, or any other regional adversary wishes they had. But our government is useless. Even without the benefit of being in the OTS and NATO, we're a powerhouse on our own. We're a secular, militaristic ethno-state with the best military in the region, sitting...

Greece's Prime Minister thanks Erdoğan for not allowing refugees to enter Greece. Meanwhile Iran transports Afghans to the Turkish border.

We're all angry about the refugee problem, but we need to remain calm. Vote for Zafer Partisi and keep the pressure on AKP and CHP. I think CHP can still be saved, they do after all have a lot politicians who are anti-refugee.

Second time Yaşar Güler has mentioned that he is not happy with Iran's stance on PKK.

It seems like every time I gain a little bit of respect for Erdoğan he comes out and says something incredibly stupid.

If this is true then I sure hope we are preparing for a full blown confrontation with Iran. America's softening tone against Iran is due to the fact that they see Iran as a counterbalance to Turkic power. Armenia is just their little pawn. To be fair, our air defence program progress has ben...

If I remember correctly, TSK had 250 in mind from the beginning. 100 F-35s were supposed to be primarily for ground attack (replacing F4s), meanwhile, TFX was supposed to be a replacement for F-16s, but with more of an emphasis on air superiority. Now, Kaan will be our only manned combat...

well yes I mean in comparison to current inventories We need to double down on domestic engine efforts. Once it's ready nothing can stop us from making 1000 Kaans. The world will never be the same after that. But I wonder at what point would we stop and focus on 6th gen... and if all the...

500 for TuAF + 500 for Turkic states

Sheesh. With 250 Kaan, TuAF would put every airforce to shame (apart from USAF).

T-129 is fine but it lacks the firepower and protection of a heavy attack helicopter. T-929s would play a key role in amphibious assaults as they can carry a lot more missiles. Think of it this way. The T-129 is good for quick anti-terror strikes in the mountains. Meanwhile, the T-929 is more...

There's a constant battle between weapons designed to destroy vehicles and countermeasures... Whilst I agree that both ground and air vehicles, especially helicopters are more susceptible than ever before, they aren't going anywhere. I'd honestly say that jet-powered VTOL aircraft could host...

I'm bored of TB3 flights. I think we all want to see more Kızılelma and Anka 3 videos. I especially can't wait to see them being mass produced. Fingers crossed we will see Kızılelmas with Turkish airforce roundels this year. Apart from Anka 3/4 and Kızılelma, a I'd love to see two new...

Guys stay on topic! This is a military forum, not a beauty pageant.

Nighttime airstrikes. I'm hoping that if pressure piles up, most of PKK flees to Syria. Without mountains, they don't stand a chance. https://x.com/BarracudaVol1/status/1782531944083014145

We'll see if the rumors are true... PKK is reporting that something is happening.

I think someone from Turkish Aerospace mentioned that it would be slightly shortened. But we'll have to wait and see.

Apart from subsystems, electro-optics, etc. perhaps the nose is different? More than likely we'll see several changes made, my bet is that the canopy design will be slightly altered. Purely from an aesthetic standpoint, I really want to see it with a coating.

Not every country is adequately prepared for all out air defence. Israel really does stand out in this regard. Israel's small land size means that even its shorter range systems cover a large portion of the country. That leaves a lot less opportunities for low flying munitions to slip past. I...
