Are you for real dude? A state visit is now begging? Europe has infinite more industrial capacity,financial resources and know how than Turkey....

It depends on who you believe, Lecornu, the French DM was taking a swipe at countries buying Patriot, insisting that the Sam MPT and its radar are a much better product.Now,some rumour based articles,argue the contrary....obviously...Wall Street Journal( US,cough,cough)

Money? Nowadays, it's common knowledge that a big cost associated with a modern APC comes from the cost of the turret. Apparently good turrets ( 30 mm,missile launchers) cost between 2-2.5million, probably cheaper lesser caliber,without missile launching capabilities. The Estonians paid around...

Any news of the integration of the AIM 120D on those FA's? I heard there were some hurdles on that issue

I called it first,Trump will not be president in 2 years time,choose your poison...impeachment, "natural" death,"accidental death",assassination.

If you're talking about the Gagauz people,even though their language is Turkic, they're 100% Russian a££kissers. I'm not worried about a Russian invasion, they're allready a spent force,by the time they reach Kiev, we'll have colonies on Mars.Them marching on Romania,Moldova, or even the...

Best course of action for Europe right now: 1.3% for defence for every EU country, mandatory! 2.Alliance with Turkey and the Arab world, throw full support behind Palestinians, let's choke the US pudel in the ME. 3.Lift sanctions on Iran, let's buy as much oil and gas from them as we can,let's...

"Compared to its size" being the key phrase. They won't be bossing their Balkan neighbours around with a 20k men army and 14 Mig29's,will they?

Powerful Serbian Army? Does the scaremongering have no end ?

Yes,as of now,tanks,fighter jets,AA systems.....It's another discussion when Turkyie proceeds to induct It's own homegrown systems....

That is self delusional. As it stands right now,on paper, the Greek Armed forces are superior in many chapters to the Turkish ones,and,more than enough to deter agression on a defence only basis. Not bashing on Turkie's Armed Forces but thinking you could "steamroll" a nation with some 200+...

Weird enough, they've submitted it for the Romanian IFV tender,with no Turkish companies present.

That's strange,don't the Poles have their indigenous Borsuk IFV? They've also proposed it for the Romanian tender (246 IFV's) which will be awarded this year. Edit: I don't think I saw any Turkiye products for the Romanian tender,altough they scored big in the last 2 years on the Romanian...

There's no actual evidence of the tank being destroyed

I don't want to derail the thread with other examples,so,I wish you the best of luck. From a geopolitical point of view,as a Romanian altough long living abroad, a strong Turkiye offers a good counterpoint to our current position, so....cheers! To each his own opinion

My rationale is,that if you couldn't develop a tank engine in 10-12 years ,a jet engine for a 5th generation fighter is obviously a bridge to far. Alas, I'm just a forumer but,as I've said in the old Pakistani forum 10 years ago,hopefully we'll all be here in 10 years to have the same chat. In...

Actually no,I've been on defence related forums for almost half my adult life,which,obviously, doesn't make an expert.I did caution Turkish members in a now defunct forum that I can't see the Altay as a series manufactured tank, even back in 2014.I got the same violent response. My opinion is...

That should raise questions about the KAAN engine,questions that most people outside Turkyie enthusiasts have already answered ,most people on this forum won't like the answer.....

That's an absolute waste of resources. There's alot of other things that 10billion should have been used for,starting with atleast 48 more F35's,attack helicopters are obsolete in today's warfare.
