US State Department: “The conditions for supplying F-35s to Turkey are widely known and our policy has not changed. Turkey’s continued interoperability with NATO remains a critical US priority.” -VoA Someone is lying.

S400 is not an ABM

F35's flyaway cost is already less than many 4th gen fighters and ordering 40-60 more airframe wouldn't make a dent in the cost structure of the program. I see no way of us joining the JSF to produce parts. We could buy some in the future but that's about it. we'd be an ordinary buyer with no...

a tweet from 2021 @Ripley can you file a petition to tip the Americans to move their assembly line to Turkey? TAI will take the bullet and save the mighty F35 💪

Elon reis FTW :ROFLMAO: for the record, I'm very much for the daylight saving time.

Why is it so expensive?

the thing is, I don't have any pieces left in me to give the benefit of the doubt to the US-Turkiye bilateral relations. They would, like Germans, always seek the chance to fuck us over and they have the window of opportunity due to our mismanaged economy. They will be teasing us to force us to...

I think we're reading too much into the words of a single visitor. they would always dangle the carrot in front of us but would they let us have it? I don't think so. At least not in the near term

there's no source for the claims in the tweets

We need their permission to equip those aircrafts with our own products. If they control or deny access to our F35s remotely, it would have huge consequences for them and it would not just be us. I can't imagine such a scenario happening except maybe using the aircrafts against Israel. we...

maybe a mod could move the convo to the relevant thread

Hacı's response to Elon Musk

Let's do this! :D

the drone has to approach the ship with more speed in rough weather, right? I'd like to see these trials evolve to be tested in adverse conditions and see how it performs.

I'd say it's a pipe dream but they have already reserved the term with their EastMed pipeline.

I think people who are developing autonomous systems bound have same aversion towards manned systems and see them inferior. The future wars will be fought between drones. Very few people would dispute that. The trouble is, how far that future is? is it 5 years, 10 years or 30? There are valid...
