    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Why you are always thinking in binary? The missile launcher should have an incorporated laser designator but the system should also have the capability of external designation. This is a really simple and easy thing to do. 1x 1km rifle mounted designator per team 1x or 2x 5km handheld...

    Why shoot and stay still? Laser illumination can be made by various assets UAVs and UGVs are the first to come to my mind. There are also many gadgets like rifle mounted and handheld laser designators.

    Trusted laser guidance is a good alternative to PLOS it is cheap and reliable. Producing a 1km range laser designator will be a piece of cake. I think our 90mm 1km ranged ATGM should be laser-guided.

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    I think we should tone down and assign two reviewers/reporters to Sweden and Finland. We should get routine update reports from assigned staff about how Sweden and Finland are addressing our concerns. Of course, this should be a never-ending process like the EU process of Turkiye.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Yeah, it is a bad deal unless we can find ways to arrange a deal behind the back of the problem country Germany. UK, Spain, and Italy can be reasoned with but Germany is a deal-breaker. Also, tranche 1 is a shitty fighter. If we got them we have to upgrade them either to Tranche 3/4 or with a...

    No, it won't take weeks. It will take a few days and won't need a shipyard. A navy facility that has the ability to supply and replenish navy ships will be enough. I got the info from the Navy sources. No official announcement yet and may not be announced as there is a possibility to do it with...

    TR Turkey at the table to buy business jet manufacturer SyberJet

    This is a good step. We need those kinds of planes for both civilian and military use. This can also pave the way for a possible future passenger plane similar to Airbus A320/21 and Boeing 737.

    I'm certain that the talks progressed a lot and we are on the verge of signing a deal but there should be still something on the table otherwise we should have announced a big signing ceremony with the participation of someone of a higher caliber like the UK ambassador etc. Maybe something like...

    2x ADKG (Açık Deniz Karakol Gemisi/Open Sea Patrol Ships) will be constructed at the same time. A total of 10 ADGK will be constructed. Cenk-S and Smart-S will be compatible with ADGK. In wartime, both of the radars can easily replace Mar-D. There is also additional space for another 8x Hisar...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    True but there is more to it. It has an algorithm-based prediction capability. The shooter tracks the target for a few seconds and when the missile is fired it travels to the predicted location of the target based on the tracking data.

    Erdogan wants to demolish an airfield worth billions and turn it into a park (in reality real estate for his goons). Istanbul has a population of 20 million and will only have 2 airfields one of them is also near Kocaeli and serve both cities. IMHO Istanbul should have at least 4 airfields...

    NLAW is not unguided. It has PLOS guidance and top attack capability. NLAW class doesn't necessarily mean NLAW itself. I mentioned NLAW because it is popular nowadays. We need a light cost-effective anti-tank missile up to 1km range. A next-generation NLAW class ATGM. We also need a dirt-cheap...

    Pak means pure/clean(also same meaning in Turkish) Paki means someone who is pure/clean. Pakistan means land of the pure/clean and Pakistani means someone who is from the land of the pure/clean. I didn't know that Paki is used as a slur that is news to me.
