And if the engine is an F404?

I read a few interesting point on pro and anti nato views. I concur with the views that NATO has lost her objective, and secondly NATO has never regarded Turkey as a country worth to defend (during the Cuba crisis the US purposely put Turkey into danger and during the Korean war used our troops...

That is one possibility the other is to have the system in our training facilities, we have to know the abilities of such systems against our drones and aircraft to have good counter measures. (especially our drones did well against Pantsir, knowledge is needed for that)

AI-222 is not candidate for the TFX. What Ibrahim Sünnetçi is telling is that TRmotor is intending to partner Motor Sich and build on their experience. In twitter things are written telegram style and people start to think that a tiny engine (compared to what TFx needs) is a candidate, it's...

The only connection is the warhead, when Roketsan developed the Umtas missile (MAM-L is a derivative) there were warheads purchased from a German company for the prototypes. In serial production also warheads became Turkish made. So the whole talk is about some 10 pieces or so warheads...

Doesn't matter! Once we reach that technology level, it really does not matter. Embargoes will lose their meaning.

We should not make the same mistakes again and again, further in the project we will be kicked out F35 style and end up with empty hands again. Better go for own systems, Fck the USA and EU

That lab shown is small like University labs (a small University lab!), not comparable with the chip production facilities of Korea and Malaysia. They can only produce limited amounts there and not even in nanometer scales

Since when is US selling SM3? Don't bet on it! I am not saying that Aster / SAMP-T is bad but we have reached missile technology of similar capabilities, so it is waste of money to invest in a technology that we already have indigenously. I thought we Turks already learned our lessons on...

Anti ballistic missile defense is overrated. Did we ever see any proof that it works? No? Stopping Ballistic missiles is like shooting with a shotgun on a fly. Don't count those long range artillery Scud missiles as Ballistic missile. Scud is more an oversized MACH4 rocket vs Mach12+...

I don't think they will give Turkey any right to block anything. The only thing that would make sense would be with SAMP-T blk II

Anti balistic to 600km range balistic missiles, waste of money!

Why would we need SAMP-T while our 100km range AD missile is almost ready? We should not be interested in SAMP-T like systems anymore but look to THAAD like systems

Although I do not believe the twitter speculations about Su-25, I have read that there is also a carrier version of the Su-25. Than I suddenly started to think: What if we may consider the carrier variant? (Just wild thinking) Don't take it too serious but like thinking out of the box, or...

Mali maybe?

Does the MQ-9B have AESA radar, Air to Air missiles? I would not underestimate it as well! Those who underestimated Turkish drones had to feel it in a painful way.

8x8 truck to carry containers? What difference will it have to the earlier 65 armored trucks that Koluman delivered?

Yes exactly this! On unmanned vehicles it is nice, but on manned vehicles evenly handy especially maybe in combination with a machine gun. The German launcher looks nice, very compact with optics and all

If it was for 40mm unguided rounds I agree and would chose for the Aselsan, but a multilauncher for guided mini missiles would give a nice punch

Germans have developed this: A multi grenade launcher, I like the idea very much. Such a launcher on armored vehicles (with out guided mini missile Efe) would be quite effective in urban warfare.
