"...the larger pod ... will perform closer to EW pods used on fighter aircraft." Big if true.

Good people of defencehub, I'm putting together a video on Turkish operations into Syria. I don't have the editing skills to do flashy animations so it's basically going to be slideshow. Think of a cross between these two videos. With regards to the stuff I want to cover, Leo2 losses in...

This might be a completely idiotic question but I have to wonder; Can Hürkuş fulfill the role of a command plane? Directing a networked team of KE and Anka-III seems like a good use for it. I'm certainly not an expert on how that would happen, or would it even worth it. But I wonder.

Could be a hundred various reasons other than F-35 stealth capability being a scam.

Lebanese army serves the very important role of giving out rank and positions in accordance with secterian and tribal affliations so possibility of another civil war will be kicked down the road.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Ukraine is not the best showcase to determine how suitable weapons systems are for Turkish Armed Forces. That conflict is fought basically without any side having air superiority. Any conflict we go in will probably not be an aerial tug-of war. It's going...

It seems to me that Turkish Coast guard commanders have a "makine soğuk" mindset. Zero agency, zero risk taking. Just smarmy memur types trying to curry favors with their superiors and salary collectors.

Is this viable for military use? I am really ignorant when it comes to radars, but it seems legit enough. If so, integrating some kind of sensor capable of utilizing starlink (or future fergani) signals would be a good addition to steel dome.

I always believed 100+ F35 was too much. I believe if there is an opening, one larger squadron or two small ones will be bought. Just the conops improvement we would get would be a very beneficial thing. KAAN's design would also be positively affected by this. If the Americans don't even try...

Doing this on a massive scale requires long term planning and consistency. The government were trying to make peace with large concessions given to PKK just 10 years ago. Same with FETO. We started this war 10 years ago. Israelis never stopped fighting since 40s. Other than that look for how...

Kozan Selçuk Erkan mentioned the indian air defense systems Armenia bought were not networked. Only one system was bought so far AFAIK. That's a big problem. One has to consider Armenia is very small and dirt poor. I don't think they can pull a rabbit out of the hat when it comes to rearmament...

Conclusion: strike first and hit hard or dig deep and hide well.

Can I get a source on that please? So I may post it to another place.

I think certain interest groups in western countries actively work towards another Sevres. This seems far away for now, but we are closer to it than 2004. They are still laying the foundation for it. The most logical method they would use: Seize a moment of crisis (may be Aegean dispute...

Israel is a deeply troubled state, not because they have a world-ruling secret Jewish cabal behind them, because their demographics are going to explode some day and they have nukes. Let me repeat again; They have NUKES. This is a serious issue. We don't need to inject conspiracy theories into...

That being said, it would be pure delusion to think that Armenians didn't back PKK at some point. May be intelligence, financial, training or outright armaments. But Armenia is a small country, I doubt it was ever a main factor.

This is seriously underreported because talking about kurdish gangs dominating coastal cities is 'racist'. I expect tourism to tank within 5 years because no one will take their businesses and exile them off like we did in 1999. Year 2000 is still legendary in tourism industry, because state...

Well that youth union has been around since 90s (at least), so I'm guessing he's a veteran. Or he goes with the "40 is the new 20" trend.

Numerous times. I remember at least 3. It's a way effective way to protest compared to trashing the local Starbucks TBH...

KKK tands for Kara Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı (Land Forces Command) in Turkish. US centric people who are reading this can relax, white hooded guys are not involved. Just the stay on topic, RCWS seems to be really large, are there any project to reduce profile? Like make it smaller, hug the...
