Your argument is correct, but there are many Arab people with Turkish names so that part of your statement are not true. Also Quranic names are not exclusively Arab. Most of the Prophets were not Arabs and their names are not Arabic but if different origins and meanings

No it won't. The only new thing that will need to be built will probably be a joint assembly line which can be build in less than a year. Then they decide who will provide what parts and start production.

Why the missiles and bombs though? Turkiye can already produce any type of missile and bomb that the US produces.

Because they don't have the know-how nor the facilities to do the mass retrofitting and integration. The retrofit and integration of Leopard tanks is done at the Tank factory in Arifiye which has been leased to BMC.

Not at all. For comparison Irgc ground units have around 100 MI 8 in service. It would be only logical for Turkish Gendarmerie to have similar or higher airlift capabilities than Irgc.

No it's not, US still deploys many turboprops aircraft from their carriers in different roles, it is a very practical idea.

Yes the fridges are good but here in Balkan you don't get after sales services and the price is usually on par with Japanese products when you buy them at major retail stores. Also their other products are really poor quality when compared to European or Japanese stuff, my mom bought a Beko...

Unless Beko improves on their quality it's not happening, because the quality of the Beko home appliances does not have a good reputation right now.

Just goes to show how important it is to have diplomatic relations with all countries. So much for the "bright" members of our forum who were wishing for a complete cut in relationship between Turkiye and Russia and other countries.

Turkiye needs to put better construction standards for the buildings. The current building standards are egregious, brand new buildings being shattered by an earthquake less than 7.5 . Turkiye is a very seizmic active area it needs to have building standards similar to Japan. Condolences for the...

Koc corporation has the capability to become one of the pillars of Turkish defence industry. Unfortunately so far they have chosen easy money over self-reliance and innovation. Hopefully this new engine represents a change in their mentality.

Armata is not overhyped, it's just that the Russians can't mass produce it alone. They are going to need at least a couple other high tech countries assistance to mass produce it. If they had it in large numbers today it would kick any other tank's ass that is currently available.

Well of course on the transmission, there wasn't any dissatisfaction with the engine.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/altay-tankinin-motoru-icin-kore-ile-seri-uretim-sozlesmesi-imzalanacak/ In this article Ismail Demir says "we need to make some changes in the power group" now who is "we" is not specified is it SSB and Korean company or is it SSB and BMC I don't know.

I didn't say it would be produced or assembled in Turkiye, I said that according to statements by SSB officials in the media the Korean powerpack was going to be modified by Turkish engineers to reach a more desirable performance.

There was word in turkish media about the Korean transmission being modified in Turkiye by Turkish engineers, so that's probably how it passed the durability tests. Also why so many purchased, isnt BMC planning to use their own powerpack after 2025.

Lmao "corrupt project", even Germans themselves admitted that the reason for the embargo was Turkiye's operations across the border in Syria. Anyways it is very clear you are a political mouthpiece for the opposition in Turkiye and not interested in any sort of rational thinking or defence...

Of course, Germany imposed an embargo on Turkey as a country, it didn't matter which Turkish company produced the Tank they all would be embargoed. It was the mistake of SSB to trust Germay knowing the political climate that existed in Europe towards the post-2000s Turkish government.

Ready for serial production with German powerpack and subsystems yes. And how well did that "serial production" go. According to AA, Pars izci has been in serial production since 2021. But here we are in 2023 and no deliveries yet. Turkish media rushes out "serial production" claims to keep the...

BMC didn't delay the Tank. In fact they went beyond expectations and did it earlier than anyone thought. I mean people should really be more appreciative of the company, they did work their ass off to undo the mistakes of SSB.
