Erdogan to Seek Support From Merz for Eurofighter Sale to Turkey "Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to seek support from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for the sale of Eurofighter jets to Turkey at talks on the sidelines of the NATO summit."...

Pilots are more important than the 150 million aircraft, you are speaking literal nonsense.

At least 3 per SEAD squadron in a very very basic counting of 20 aircraft. Would be surprised if more than 20 EDPODs are ever built unless exported. Tübitak can handle it over few years.

He mentioned many things. “We [have] already started working on” the new TF35000 turbofan engine, Mehmet Demiroğlu, general manager at TAI, told Breaking Defense at Le Bourget, adding that work is being done jointly by Tusas Engine Industries (TEI) and TRMotor. As part of the system’s...

Regardless I bet 151st guys will love it, this was a capability they needed for decades.

I think you may be right.

EDPOD is now in service.

Can't know, but safe to say all those facilities are now unusable whether they are destroyed or not. There are claims that some equipment and fuel was removed before strikes. I don't think this changes much. Iran can no longer hide them underground and they are in the open, which will push them...

Iran having nukes was always a deal breaker for US. Why would they be okay with it, with or without Israel?

Which shouldn't even be taken as a datapoint honestly. I like merah putih, it's going slowly and it's a bit of a hodgepodge but it'll turn out nicely once ready.

They are the same program, second is an addon on the first. It's not 40+81, but 40+41 totaling 81. And afaik the second batch didn't receive it.

This program started in 2020, all we have to show for are 40 Leopard 2T1s with roketsan armor packages, that's it. They are as good as our Altay because neither exist yet!

Don't think buildings, think the sensitive stuff inside the buildings and the shockwave the 500kilo warhead creates. It's still small yes, but it's something.

Hard disagree. This didn't start with Gaza war, it's been going on slowly since Karabakh was liberated in 2020. Events around us may hasten or hamper it but end route remains the same.

Is it? Half of the job of a good GA aircraft is low costs, how can TAI as the giant that is build such a helicopter and make money doing it while they're building satellites 2 hangars down. It doesn't make sense. We are thinking it wrong. We have many startups here as zafer outlined, but nearly...

I wasn't expecting Pashinyan's visit. And the first state visit from an Armenian leader since the country was formed? It's not talked much but this is important.

We know what Garibaldi is. There's obviously some show here, but maybe this is a 1+1 deal for transfer of Garibaldi and a new ship.

Looks like it wasn't really related and Uçaksan is still unable to get a first flight license. Emre BALCI, Founder at Uçaksan Aircraft Systems Let me give you a brief summary of the video I shared in my previous post. First of all, institutions currently under state administration are in the...

It is a pretty nice photo. Pakistan did help us immensely after the 2016 coup attempt to retrain pilots, especially as instructors after US shafted us again by denying our requests to provide instructors and take in Turkish pilots, saying their own pilot shortage was worse and didn't have any...
