Neither KAAN nor GCAP is a 6th-gen fighter. GCAP will be 5.5th gen(which means it will incorporate some 6th gen technologies in a 5th gen body) when it comes out. KAAN will also continue its development cycle to reach 5.5th gen capabilities.

Europe will provide investment development and security, and they will provide oil, gas, natural minerals (metals ores, rare earth, uranium etc). If the EU doesn't lift a finger, the EU will lose those. It is as simple as that. After Ukraine, the EU knows it can't count on Russia anymore. This...

Rums of Cyprus and Greece rejected unification multiple times. The Rums of Cyprus did a coup and ethnic cleansing of Turks on the island, and that is why Turkiye exercised its right as a guarantor state. Turkiye is legally obligated to defend the rights and well-being of Turkish Cypriots. The...

Can we provide 500 billion worth of military and economic assistance if Russia invades say Kazakhstan? Only EU, China and the US can provide an assistance like that and right now, central asian states have none of them on their side. The only thing we can do is send some weapons and delay the...

It is sad, but it is an expected outcome. Turkiye doesn't have the economic capacity to lead a Turkic organization. Military capacity is also a big question mark. I believe Central Asian Turkic states did the right thing. They gained independence recently, they are rediscovering their national...

I expect some development in IDEF 2025. Pakistan, Indonesia, and Azerbaijan are showing great interest in the KAAN project.

BTW, i believe ( i wrote i believe because there is no way to show an "official" source for that) Trump will dump Palestinian refugees on us. Erdogan will use this for political gains to consolidate his base. Those that accept Palestinian refugees and those that don't accept them. Erdogan will...

Because some AKP goon gets rich from that and in return we are becoming poor with inflation.

This is more than speculation, and you know it. You can choose to believe "official" inflation and unemployment figures. Quote "official" sources and blame anyone who is not believing utter propaganda as speculative. Let me give you one example. Lockheed Martin declared force majeure in...

I think party police is not a reliable source similar to TUIK. According to TUIK inflation is %38, unemployment is %9. If you have a reliable source, I will apologize and i will delete my massage but i refuse to buy into AKP propaganda. They are going for house arrests and digital handcuffs...

Trump will force Israel and Turkiye into a deal that will favor Israel, but it won't be a complete disaster for Turkiye. Trump will use Turkiye to keep Israel's genocidal policies in check because when it comes to shove, Israel doesn't care and does whatever it wants. It doesn't matter how many...

We won't be stuck with those. They are unarmed cargo planes. We will buy CFM leap engines like everyone else does. TEI has full maintenance and part production capability for LEAP engines. https://www.tei.com.tr/en/projects/international-projects/leap-engine...

We should produce Antonov An-178 and An-188 in Turkiye with Aselsan avionics and Western engines. They are beautiful cargo planes with outstanding performance. We can sign a deal similar to the T-129 Atak project. Instead of buying various platforms from different parties, we can support our own...

It is a carbine rifle, meaning its barrel is shorter and is expected to be lighter.

Baykar will probably get T/R modules from Leonardo as Aselsan's production capacity is currently only enough for Aselsan

The Anka-3+Supersimsek combo is a nightmare scenario for even the most advanced enemy air defense systems.

This also confirms the acquisition of 240+ Kaans till 2040.

They did the right thing. Get the free money and create dependencies with the EU. They can change their policy towards TRNC and officially recognize it a decade later. This also benefits us.

Those two things are not related. Kargı has problems because of disagreements between SSB and Vestel and it doesn't look like those disagreements can be resolved.

Turkiye should produce at least 4 full batteries of Siper per year (1 battery every quarter), including missile load. The demand for air defense systems and missiles is extremely high. We should deploy full layered air defense complexes to our bases in foreign countries starting from...
