The current US stance on supplying the F110 engine to Turkey remains in limbo. Although there are isolated positive signals, there is still no binding and clear decision – neither a clear commitment nor an official rejection. This strategic vagueness is no coincidence, but rather the expression...

We should not be under any illusions: if the US, or rather Israel, decides not to deliver the F110 engines for political or strategic reasons, or to delay delivery further, then they simply will not deliver them. They are under no obligation whatsoever to provide us with these engines. That is...

I think you may have overlooked an important aspect of geopolitics—and I don't mean that in a reproachful way. Russia and China are definitely pursuing the strategic goal of pulling Turkey further out of Western spheres of influence. This is evident, among other things, in the fact that China...

In this context, it is not a question of actively procuring Chinese or Russian engines or bringing about a strategic realignment, but solely of securing a backup plan for the worst-case scenario—a scenario in which Western supply chains remain permanently blocked and no alternative is available...

I have never understood the philosophy of the Chinese and Russians – I am talking about the governments here, not the people. They say that Iran is their ally, but they do not supply it with modern weapons or support it by intercepting Israeli missiles, as the Americans do with Iranian missiles...

The motor question is essentially a key action. The US/Israel do not want to deliver, because this would promote Turkey's independence even more. They do not want to strengthen Turkey. However, they are in a dilemma because they are in a bind. The US also does not want Turkey to manufacture...

Then there will be other possibilities to get engines elsewhere as an interim solution, you act as if there are no more alternatives on the market. The Shenyang WS-10 Block C or D, for example has FADEC (this is based on the CFM56 engine which is essentially the core of the F101/F-110 family) it...

How else would it work? The image sensors compare the pre-stored image parameters, and internally, the GPS and INS systems are probably recalibrated relative to the position of the ship and the drone for validation. Image from the ship = true GPS signal from the ship, i.e. position = true...

That's true, but we also get gas and oil from Azerbaijan and Russia. With gas and oil from Qatar and Iran, we can sell it to Europe as a mixed blend. The point is that we can put pressure on Russia and Iran in terms of price and, above all, strategically through multiple suppliers, while at the...

No matter how things turn out in the end, they will definitely be unable to act for the next 10 years. All their resources have been exhausted, even their ancient Warplanes have been partially destroyed. They have gambled big and lost a lot, including Syria, Libya, and, as Armenia's second...

Let Australia take them in 😂 (it's a good idea, 70% of the country is uninhabited). What does Turkey have to do with it? If the Arabs think they don't have to fight for their rights and have to kiss up ass from US/Israel so they don't jeopardize their monarchies, then they can pay the price.

No, no, even he's not an idiot; he's not going to let hundreds of thousands or millions into the country. It would lead to a full-scale civil war in Turkey. Let the Arabs like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others take in their people, even if the Iranians are Persians; they place so much value on...

Lock everything down in borders in Turkey and divert Europe, let's see if they still support Israel when their own ultra-right wingers are breathing down their necks. Even the last morons of the ultra-right wing know who is responsible for the mass migration.

They should finally release the TAI KAAN in 2029/30, preferably with 30 units per year. Then TAI can take care of GEN 6. Turkey needs at least 120 TAI KAANs in its fleet by 2035, plus 60 Kizilelma and 60 Anka 3 drones. This is a must, otherwise we will be in serious trouble. Simsek & Super...

Yes, but they are only accurate to a certain extent, and yes, Baltic missiles can be made more accurate with better control mechanisms and sensors, but the cost-benefit ratio is absolutely negative, even in a war. Cruise missiles, drones with glide bombs, and hypersonic missiles are much more...

Why do you think we are developing and building Balistic Missiles Short -> Medium/Long Range? For conventional warheads? Certainly not. Preparatory work has been underway for several years for a future scenario. Furthermore, ballistic missiles with conventional warheads are extremely...

If Iran has nuclear weapons, it would be the greatest gift Turkey could ever receive. It could use this argument and the resulting shift in power in the Middle East to officially launch a nuclear program and even justify it logically. This is what the Americans and Israelis fear most, as it...

Okay, but what should he do now? He reformed the military technology industry. Until 2008/10, we couldn't even manufacture a screw ourselves; we were just an extended workbench that manufactured for others according to specifications. Now we are 85-90% independent in terms of armaments. If it...

Exactly, we are creating mutual dependencies within the EU, which means we are no longer as vulnerable to blackmail as we used to be. These dependencies are no longer as one-sided as they were 10-15 years ago. Again, I'm not saying you're wrong, but Turkey's strategy is to build up as much...

Look, I'm not saying that they will voluntarily give up money just because it's the US and the EU. They will increase trade volumes if possible. But they will no longer focus exclusively on the US and the EU; they will focus on global trade itself, including their soft power in the Middle East...
