It could be strategic in nature, Anka S and Aksungur are SATCOM drones. This means that the customer could/should possibly use satellite communication with the Turkish state satellite network in order for them to function optimally e.g. in terms of latency, encryption, software compatibility...

These are all mostly old contracts that they cannot get out of without suffering very, very serious economic damage themselves. To pretend that the German government is a friend and that this is all just a big misunderstanding is simply naïve. As for Hensoldt's Argos Camera/FLIR Sensors, their...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/baykarin-piaggio-hamlesi-yunani-kizdirdi-protesto-edecek/ These fools as if they can deny the sovereignty of Italy what it may or may not do. Greece has no say at all in the EU, and certainly not in the strategic legislative decisions of the respective countries.

Why are we helping them even if money certainly played a major role in this decision? They have blocked and sanctioned us wherever they could. Even with the Eurofighter deal, they only agreed to it because of the immense pressure from the other consortium members and the consequences for...

Honestly, by now I don't give a shit about more than half of the Arab states, why should Turkey care? The Arabs deserve it, they have been cheated by the West several times and they were happy when Lawrence of Arabia promoted their supposed independence. Let them solve it, they have their Arab...

Very interesting video, I think that nuclear/ion hybrid propulsion will soon be interesting again in manned space travel, at the latest for the Mars mission from 2040 onwards

@Sanchez you cannot upgrade Eurofighter Tranche 1 to Tranche 2, 3 or 4 - it is technically impossible. From Tranche 2 onwards the aircraft has been technically (hardware & software), and design technically (airframe) totally revised that the upgrades both physically and software technically are...

Eurofighter T1 makes no sense as a rapid response, it has no air-to-ground capabilities. It has no AESA radar, the EW and mission computer is technologically 15-20 years old and will be EoL by 2030 at the latest. Who do you want to defend yourself against with this Aircraft? Every country...

However, these are not the real ranges, but rather the estimated ranges. The Meteor's range is also 100-+150km with a zero escape zone of 60-70 km. If at all, you can only reach such ranges if you fire your missiles top down to the target. But I say that with reservations, I got the information...

We both know who you are Manomed The Saviour 😂

The development of Gezgin (Tomahawk equivalent) and Gökhan (MDBA Meteor equivalent) must definitely be accelerated. Greece is very afraid that the import of the MDBA Meteor will not only give Turkey a weapon to exert great pressure in the Aegean. But that Turkey can significantly improve the...

I think that the technical knowledge they gained is probably one of the reasons. They are aware that the Gökhan RAMJET missile is under development, and through the METEOR missile, especially because of the seeker or the GEL fuel, Turkey could gain knowledge that could significantly help with...

Has any Turkish official ever claimed otherwise? They have all said that it will still be inferior to F-22/F-35 in some areas. They have even confirmed that this aircraft as a first block will not deliver the performance they are aiming for but will at least be superior to the GEN 4.5 aircraft...

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/29/us/f-35-fighter-jet-crash-hnk/index.html Another crash to the F-35 and to be honest I don't think much of the F-35 either, the plane is simply over engineered and permanently flawed.

And the other countries involved in the METEOR project will exert enormous pressure on France to conclude this deal. Don't forget: EU armaments projects stand or fall with their cooperation! England, Italy & Co and France, Germany & Co are already going their separate ways on the GEN 6 aircraft...

Michael Rubin is Jew and the perfect Shylock

I hope something moves in the near future, for me and many here in the forum 7-9 months for a new prototype is simply too much time. I hope they can speed it up somehow. The aircraft absolutely has to be ready as Block 0 in 2028/29, any delay could be fatal for the project. Many outside interest...

https://turdef.com/article/kaan-fighter-jet-gets-smaller-and-what-does-it-mean What was more or less an open secret has now been confirmed, TAI KAAN as the second prototype will be a tick smaller and hopefully not so compressed as a result.

The question is where to get these special nuclear reactors from, neither the USA, China/Russia and the EU will sell them nor will they provide the technical know-how. Nuclear reactors for ships and submarines are needed if you want to pursue absolute geopolitics. Nobody would want to support us...

Do we actually have an additional earth observation satellite with an image resolution of 0.5 meters and additional SAR? Or is Turkey planning something like this in the next 6-8 years? That would be the next construction site that should be tackled.
