We need around 900 pilots for 600 fighters with a 1.5 pilot fighter ratio. That means we need to train 100 pilots for 9 years. It is doable.

Turkiye might profit from this war in the mid and long term. Turkiye can buy Russian oil and gas with a huge price cut. Türkiye can also aid the reconstruction efforts of Ukraine and can sell advanced military products to Ukraine. Businesses and businessmen who fled Russia can also relocate to...

S-400 is a good system.

I can confirm this is bullshit. The plan is to buy 250 TF-X until 2040, upgrade the F-16 fleet and buy MIUS and MISU. IMHO another 250 TF-X could be exported. After 2040 TurAF will probably acquire unmanned combat aircraft.

The Philippines has good relations with the US.

I agree with Erdogan. It is like blaming all Americans and actually make them pay because the US invaded Iraq.

Good news for the engine. It is good news that disagreements are resolved and a deal that satisfies both sides is finally achieved. But we should continue efforts for the national engine. TRMotor can still act as a design bureau and TEI&TAEC can get contracts to do the production.

IRST in front of the cockpit. EOTS under the nose. SOM-J launch from the internal weapons bay.

Probably no maybe a teaser. The project is in an advanced phase and surely some info or demonstration can be released but 2023 will be a monumental year for the defense industry and companies want to press the hold button to release everything at once for a shock effect in 2023. "Dozens" of...

Tümosan 540hp engine will go into serial production at the start of 2023. Tümosan 540hp engine mobility test will start in August this year on an armored vehicle(Probably FNSS). Tümosan named its 540hp engine Zeyna(Turkish for Xena) after the warrior princess Xena.

Yes, there is but TRLG-230 is higher on the priority list. TRG-300 is heavier than SOM(660kg for 90km block II missile with a 180kg warhead and 585kg for 120km block III with 105kg warhead) and can only be carried by bigger UAVs and fighters. TRLG-230 is also effective against mobile targets...

TAI delivered the first Atak helicopter to the Phillipines.

I'm sad if this is true he died in his bed. We should have brought him to Turkiye and should have hanged him.

HDP accepts being the political wing of PKK officially, literally. Debate is about whether the political wing of PKK should be closed or not. And up to this day no steps are taken which is IMHO high treason.

Average Kurd doesn't suffer more than an average Turk. There are equal opportunities in Turkiye regardless of you are Kurd or a Turk. There are no discrimination when you start a business, go to college, took the exams for military schools or run for presidency etc. Kurdish is not the official...

Turkiye has Albanians, Bosniaks, Circassians etc. All less than %1 of the population but individuals of those ethnicities are holding major offices in the republic so it is a fair assessment. If I'm not mistaken Indian Muslim population is roughly around %15 of the total Indian population. How...

This is the biggest bullshit in this forum that came from an Indian. Turkiye had Kurdish president, prime ministers, ministers, generals, police chiefs etc. Come again when India had a Kashmiri Muslim president. And no we are not bombing and leveling mostly Kurdish populated cities. This is...

Empty threats. What are you gonna do Vlad attack Poland?

Russia is sending civilian trucks to supply its armored columns.

True we don't know the extent of the American components on that engine. Those will probably be replaced while the Turkish variant is in development.
