Sorry to say but CHP has no choice but to appeal to HDP voters. Our demographics are fked. 33% Islamists who will vote for AKP until their deaths, 33% nationalists and 33% lefties. Obviously these percentages aren't fully correct but it puts things into perspective. AKP has a large voter base...

Look at this tweet from 2013

Fact is that your precious Menderes shut down our plane factories. These are the words of some MPs. If Mansur Yavaş runs for presidency they will all get kicked out. Also, AKP MPs are equally as bad. Yes, group all of CHP into one big bag with HDP. Your AKP made peace with PKK when they were...

Either one

Turkey bought ATACMS in the 90s. I believe technology transfer was requested, but it was rejected. Currently, TRG-230 and TRG-300 are the closest things to a domestic HIMARS. Accuracy is similar but range is less. However, ranges will likely be boosted with new variants.

I think it could fetch closer to $30 million. Specialised naval variant could sell for over $50 million. A lot of customers seem to like highly specialised packages.

Both Akinci and Aksungur (with more powerful engines) could compete against the SeaGuardian. We need variants optimised for naval warfare. I know that Aksungur has a planned ASW variant.

That's huge. I hope most of these will end up in TSK or other Turkic militaries.

We need mechs with those mounted on it.

Yep that's a pretty good summary. Also Russia focused so much on superweapons that they really fell behind in every other area. When you look at what type force they've been trying to create, you can see that everything is geared towards a war against the USA. Hypersonic this, hypersonic that...

Yes, but I expected the same for the B-21. Perhaps the recent rise of US-Australia cooperation means that US personnel will be present at all times?

When do you guys think this war will end? I don't think it will be as long as Syria. I think when Putin has had enough he will probably announce that it was a "successful special operation". I think by spring next year, when it gets muddy again, it will end. But I think low-level fighting might...

I'm surprised that the US would offer them. Even if Australia is a very close ally, I thought the US didn't allow the sale of such aircraft to other countries. For example, by federal law, they can not export F22's. Maybe now that stealth is becoming a common thing it doesn't matter anymore.

If Temel Kotil is telling the truth about rear-facing radar then we have an absolute monster of an air-superiority fighter awaiting us. Even in hostile airspace, enemy fighter's will have to think twice about trying to ambush the TFX from behind.

Because all polls show that they will lose...

It's not about seeing them on the street and looking at their ID... It's about what's on the database.

That's because the aim here isn't really integration. It's to boost AKP's chance of winning by adding refugees to the voterbase. AKP claims that 200k Syrians have citizenship. This isn't enough to make a major difference. The opposition says that there is around 1.5 million Syrians with...

I guarantee it's for votes. If AKP accelerates gifting citizenship to refugees, they can potentially have over 3 million extra votes. Change their names and no one will suspect a thing.

If you look at Erdoğan's latest comments you will understand that no operation will happen. It's not just Doğu Perinçek and Ethem Sancak who tried to approach Assad, now Erdoğan himself is trying to make peace with him.
