Sure I guess but Kemankeş carries at least 5-10 kilo warhead, it's a pretty horrible use of a PGM. I think actual point of a flying target is to not lose the prototypes during testing, not striking flying targets. With this, they can gain altitude back and make the same runs over and over again...

Yup, that's where all these positive ones came out in the last 2 days. It still doesn't mean a single thing until it's signed and order placed.

I thought this was the photo released 2 months ago, didn't even look at the mid mounted stick, thanks :)

F-16 Özgür cockpit with a T-38 at the background.

What are they dropping?

Things not going great in Niger. Breakdown of command chain and mutinies starting. "...had to be evacuated to Turkey in order to get treatment after his soldiers beat him up a few days ago. "

Minister Bayraktar met with Minister of Regional Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia Mr. Davit Khudatyan in Istanbul. During the meeting, possible cooperation opportunities between Turkey and Armenia in the field of energy were discussed. At today’s European Parliament...

The Ministry of Defense will invest 1.375 billion euros in the Air Force's new advanced trainer and expects the first aircraft in 2028. Robles has insisted on the "Spanishness" of the aircraft, which is the result of a co-development with the Turkish company TAI based on the Hürjet but with...

Aselsan will provide Muhafız/Smash 30mm RCWS' to Filipino Coast Guard to be installed on the 2(?) Teresa Magbanua Class patrol ships. Two sister ships are the largest vessels of the Filipino coast guard. They were built without a main deck gun but were FFBNW. Given value is nearly 7 million...

Well you should add context to your original post then don't you think; how would people know? I think it's nothing more than useless added complexity to a basic design. We saw retractable RCWS when the idea is to be less visible, garner less attraction, like Best's armored Amaroks for...

Air force Cougar in Somalia.

I'm pretty sure Özgürs will not be able to and I'm not sure if F-16V is certified for it.

I wish we had defence media who could ask these questions... Don't know what enough really means. We still need the F-35. We need it to undertake future joint NATO missions, to undertake nuclear sharing missions, to defend against other F-35s and to study how it works and performs to develop...

Not to be pedantic but there's no good news until deal is signed, production starts, training starts and the units are delivered to Balıkesir and Konya. So far, just one good signal. Hopefully it's signed before end of summer.

"Turkey can hope to soon receive modern Eurofighter fighter jets for its air force. Defense circles and senior officials from Germany expressed the expectation that the export deal will soon materialize. Apparently, the German government intends to abandon its resistance. The news is likely to...

Looks almost AI, uncanny. Must be quite the spectacle for watchers. I think it's PT-2 but that gray tone could also be from the dust on it and maybe it's PT-1? Regardless, nothing to cry about, it's a prototype for a reason. Lots of lessons to be learned from the mishap for the future.

I don't like speculation, we have no idea what happened. Looks like a controlled landing without power, maybe engine gave out. We'll have some idea of what to expect by watching future flight testing. Official explanations will be useless as usual.

3 years later and they still don't know the most basic tenets of political system of our largest defence partner, or he simply don't understand it and his mind can't comprehend it. It's not up to Trump whether Turkey gets F-35s or not.

Looks like the Anka-3 PT-2 crash landed during Anatolian Eagle 25. Looks mostly intact.

%15 by your figure. You are talking about leaving 15% of potential losses to die for nothing.
