True. This is a smart message to the observers. Look our missile seeker can see targets over 20kms. Untrained people will think it is a shitty image. The real experts got the massage.

Yes. Datalink test will be done this year. All of the A-A and air defense missile projects other than Sungur MANPADS include a datalink.

All of the Turkish air defense and A-A missiles(excluding Sungur mandaps) have a two-way datalink.

Of course it is normal. What is not normal is claiming you have %90+ national parts while you were using widespread foreign parts.

Yes, most of the time companies say "milli tasarım" or "%100 milli tasarım" which translates to national design or %100 national design. Companies never give a national contribution percent. Baykar was an exception they were bragging like %90+ national and local. FOr example Roketsan or Tubitak...

I know the strategy very well and i'm not against it. What I'm against is to advertise a product %90+ national while it is not. We never advertised Atak or SOM as a %90+ national product.

Then you shouldnt have told tall tales to people. Baykar should have said even though TB2 is a %100 national design, most of TB2s subsystems are not national but we are working with our partners to nationalize them. They were talking about %90+ national contribution since like 2014. Wescam MX-15...

There are Turkish subs but i don't think they will join the party. Turkey can deploy all its naval might to Blacksea if need be.

According to Montreux Treaty, the US can bring 30k tonnes at max while NATO can bring another 15k tonnes on top of that for a total of 45k tonnes. 2x Arleigh Burke, 1x Ticonderoga, and 3x FFGs from NATO countries might be a good force. No subs CGs or LHD/LPD/LHAs are allowed. The lack of subs is...

Of course, the US will be sitting by. LOL, why do you think Israel is trying to stir up the things. The US offered Iran a renewed nuclear deal. Israel is furious but the US doesn't have time for Iran while Russia and China are moving on.

The US cant do jackshit to Russia on its doorstep. Russian military build-up is at an insane level. Probably above 5k tanks 2k artillery pieces. Entire mechanized armies are deployed. 3 fucking airborne divisions were deployed close by the last time i checked. It is like WW2 level. Fighting...

That is a great thing. Especially after Iran securing a 400 billion $ strategic partnership and alliance deal with China. Note that Iran is an extremely important country on the silk road it is also pivotal to control Afghanistan from which the US is retreating and the Persian Gulf and the...

Probably highly exaggerated. Some of those countries might have applied for observer status. As far as I know, Hungary and Turkmenistan are considering joining. Turkmenistan doesn't want to jeopardize its long-standing diplomatic neutrality policy. Anyway, the Turkic council needs 50 years and...

NOPE, we shouldn't leave at all. The Russians have to be stopped. The Russian bear only understands the language of power. What we should do is to show people that the Russians cant be stopped with the nations like France, Canada, or Greece. Eventually, the US will understand this either the...

Ok i accept you convinced me HUrjet can easily be operated from TCG Anadolu.

I don't know what more can be done for the enemies of Turkey? The US is official allies with a terrorist organization in Syria. France is supporting Russians and a maniac coupist mass killer in Libya. EU is supporting ridiculous claims of Greece. Canada is supporting Russian satellite state of...

NATO protects us from NATO in the first place. We should stick to developing our defense industry. We have accumulated critical mass embargoes might create some slight delays but eventually won't work. In a decade they will come crawling to us don't worry. IMHO we should give as much aid as...

There was some shit that went under the table. As far as i know, TEI did some IP rights infringement under the table that is why the project kept classified.

TCG Anadolu landing strip is shorter compared to carriers. The aerodynamics of the WW2 fighters are completely different than today so comparing WW2 carriers with TCG Anadolu is comparing apples with oranges. QE2 has a longer landing strip even though it is mainly designed for F-35B STOVL...

They are control stations for unmanned system. 2 for Ulaqs, 2 for UAVs.
