Turkey and Greece haven't been in war since 1924, and haven't been actively shooting each other since 1974 after Greek coup and invasion of Cyprus failed. So yes, two being in NATO do keep the tensions down. Onus there is on EU for accepting a country with unresolved territorial and...

By having a large, capable robust air force. There's no other way. Even then, there's no way to really "stop" such action.

Noone mistakes a Peruvian F-16 for the Turkish one. Current lowviz TurAF roundel is this one, as seen on F-35, KE and Anka-3.

I like how we see the single Siper battery on its first ever deployment being caught on cameras, but friends still argue that S-400 is not based in hangars in Mürted but is actually deployed.

Israel used to be a pretty strategic ally of Turkey in a region riddled with Baas dictatorships and a revolutionary Iran. Baathic dictatorships have now all fallen and Iran's Shia Axis is broken in the last decade. Turkey and Israel were allies of circumstance and now they are rivals of...

Only TB3 and Akıncı, with the usual payloads. I'd expect at least a KE mockup as well. Would be nice to show it in front of Dassault's new Neuron. Checking the Akıncı, looks like it's the same PT-10 that test fired Çakır the other day.

Nope. Only photo to come out is a very apparent fake AI slop.

What were the planned numbers throughout the years?

Such an interesting time. New PKK solution process since september, what happened in Syria, and the mostly overlooked recent history of US and NATO aircraft using Turkish airspace to look at Iran are all obviously related. Make up of this what you will, are we biding our time or are now fully...

And I need 5 million in the bank to buy a house but i still live on rent.

Allegedly. US deals are a bit more complex.

They used Cirits to attack Turkish proxies in Libya and Roketsan supplied MLRS in Sudan. When they need it, they will.

Per what's been released, deliveries will start in mid 2030s, so basically. Yet. Libya used to have one of the largest air forces in the region. They used to operate up to 60 Mig-25s and no less than 15 Tu-22s. We are not putting immature engines on a state of the art 150 million+ airframe.

These are two very different timelines. That's because there is no official deal yet and because officials didn't disclose the actual details of the proposed deal to actual journalists who actually ask questions. mTT's quote sounds like a more realistic time table to me, considering as there is...

Their prototyping phase continue and first prototype deliveries for testing should be by next year at the latest from my head. These are subcomponents, not really flashy things they will scream about. We will see them on Kaan, KE and Anka-3, they're coming.

Thanks! I think it corroborates my point. Interest, request, wishlist and actual orders are very different things. Will TurAF easily order 100 jets, probably yes. Did it yet, no. Another point, with Erdoğan himself announcing it first officially, this is probably more than a simple MoU. There...

It's a MoU, a statement of will and interest of creating something. Both are MoUs, which are again statements of interest, none of it are legally binding contracts. There's no payment for the aircraft, there's no official documentation. Current Turkish order for Kaan as far as I'm aware is 0...

SSST claims Turkey and Indonesia will sign a G2G agreement for Indonesia to join the program and order 48 Kaans.

T129 over at TurkSom. Not clear, but stub wings remind me of T129B2, and livery is clearly KKK. Probably transferred?
