Turkey is not signatory of UNCLOS, even in case of 2 countries who signed UNCLOS, there are multiple examples where islands given limited EEZ in favor of mainland(coastline) of countries. So, you can't use Unclos in case of Turkey, sovereignty > customary law. Even if Turkey were a signatory of...

Lmao, sure thing, if Israel leaves Palestine, we may also think of abandoning Cyprus, go ask them. Cyprus is paying the price of trying to ethnically cleanse it's Turkish citizens, why would Turkey leave Cyprus after it sacrificed so much to save it's kin? Get off your high horse, it's the...

While i kind of agree with this, what Turkey needs is domestic Nuclear Energy capabilities first, which sadly we are far far away from it, there are some attempts to learn know how with Nuclear Plants like Akkuyu and some others that will be built later on. It all boils down into mastering the...

This time i was going to take you seriously and answer you properly to educate you but the moment you claimed that Turkey's Blue Homeland doctrine is similar to China's South China Sea claims, you lost the very little credibility you had before. And no, you are not Neutral, use these tactics...

What a one sided view of the events. Someone couldn't be more wrong about all these claims but i'm not even surprised anymore.

You are right, but there is always some trueness to those rumors, they don't get into surface out of nowhere. What is for sure is that Turkey is in need of multiple jet engines and modernization of it's Air Forces, i don't think that USA will fully block this request but some sort of middle...

The reason why the contract hasn't been signed yet is kind of complicated, Turkey wants to build the new Vipers domestically and also modernize the current ones domestically, it also wants to build F16 engines domestically too, which is why the deal has not been made. I doubt that USA will...

TF35000 won't be made out of thin air, it has no possibility to fail but only get delayed. TF35000 will be made out of TF-10000 engine which is already in design and in production-test phase. I know me saying " has no possibility to fail" is over exaggerating, but once you already have...

You simply don't train newbies with stealth aircraft because the 2 most important parts of stealth jets are their coating and engines, those 2 costs so much to operate. Whether you learn the avionics and control systems of F35 in a Trainer Jet or in a simulation or actually in F35 makes no...

I don't think that this issue is that simple to be honest, Greece can declare 12nm in Aegean but Turkey doesn't have to respect that even if they don't use their Casus Belli. Even if all of the above countries you mentioned unite against Turkey in this matter, they will not have that much...

Trainer Jets are to teach the pilot all the avionics and the operation systems of similar systems that is also used in more advanced fighter jets. That's the most important part of them. Your trainer jet doesn't need to be stealthy. Because it would add nothing to it. All the stealth training...

Yeah, i was only speculating for the sake of speculation.

Although i agree that the Airforce of Turkey is at it's lowest due to some stupid decisions, i don't think Turkey has any real threat for it's borders. The only issue i see where we might end up accepting is Greece's 12nm claims in Aegean if they achieve very strong air dominance over us(which...

What you are saying is not wrong but i really don't understand what you are expecting, Turkey is doing this for the first time and it's not an easy task to build jet engines out of nothing when you don't have years of experience of already doing it.

Well, i guess Hurjet export capabilities will be really limited to NATO/USA allies then, it is quite sad.

While i totally agree with your post, there is even also a bigger issue, even if today, we sign a deal with either USA or EU for F16/F15 or Eurofighter, those jets will start arriving the earliest in 2028, which dosn't solve the aging f16s problem. The real question is, if Kaan is really...

You are correct, for some reason i remember it this way, sorry for misinformation. now that i re-checked, i couldn't find anything on what Hurjet will be using in the future though, do you perhaps have some info on it?

There is some confusion going on here, there are 2 engines that are being developed at the same time, TF-6000 and TF-10000. TF-6000 Is going to be used both on ANKA-3 and Kizilelma and future upcoming smaller UCAVS once they enter production. Both Anka 3 and Kizilelma will have a bigger...

Everyone is talking about the possible purchase of F15s but none is mentioning of how is that going to happen when the CAATSA can't be removed due to S400s issue. USA and Turkey hasn't even signed the f16 modernization and new F16 purchase deal yet. The problem is deeper than that, USA even...
