We don't have the upper hand and timing is critical right now, I think pushing our luck too much with the F16 deal is not a strategically sound move.

To be fair the Somalia operation is more likely to hurt Libya operations than mainland defense. Air defense provided by 2x Gabya class is nothing when you consider size of Turkey.

Stealth increases the cost very significantly, both initially and for maintenance. Trainers are optimized for their original purpose.

Problem is none of the alternatives are going to be here by the time we need them, nor any of the products we are building will be available in sufficient numbers and operating capacity in the time they advertise. Honestly, we'd probably have better luck if we bought like 40 JF-17 with...

Honestly, German politicians are such bootlickers of US and haters of Turks that it may be less dangerous to depend directly on US rather than depend Germany AND US for Eurofighter

Glad he didn't leave defence. It might even be better that he is now in private sector and has more freedom. Tubitak may have been the wrong type of institution to leverage his skills despite delivering great products. Who knows maybe in time assan can grow to rival the munition segment of other...

I think thats how it was mentioned, 32x strike length vls for 16x gezgin/ atmaca and 16x quadpack hisar ( strike length seems to be necessary for quadpack, with possible all 7 of remaining istif having strike length midlas as we seen from F516 model) and 64 for larger siper missiles

It's not enough to fit the missile, you need to have room for exhaust fumes and their exit.

Kargı, in response to brave janissary

Murad on JF17 would be nice one day

Well if somebody had done their job and finished the loitering, rocket launched munitions maybe we would have added them

But it means the funding is there and such at least, doesn't it? Like it's at least a commitment

I hear good things about the people they have and the speed with which they are progressing

It's most likely a modified version of Al 322

Protective swarm drone shield sounds very cutting edge. I like this.

The weight of zaha turret is limited due to its amphibious characteristics. It would lose its balance or submerge too much otherwise

We have literally seen the insides of IWB of Anka 3 already

WW2 aircraft carriers were able to operate prop airplanes with relatively short decks like anadolu and no angled landing strip, in fact some of the older carriers, essex short version I think? Were converted to helicopter carriers after arrival of jets. I don't see why TB3 can't do it

GIDS has Faaz-2 or is working on it, not sure on status
