https://turdef.com/article/rare-earths-to-become-new-pillar-in-u-s-turkiye-relations A deal to supply rare earth elements to US should accompany many conditions that favour Türkiye. I hope that the government don’t down-sale the importance of these strategic materials. This could become a very...

Bro, no matter how much R&D you perform, an non-stealthy drone like TB2 and Akinci will always be prone to getting shot if they operate too low or in skies where AD systems are not suppressed or eliminated. All the Hype about TB2 in the early days were thanks to : 1. Anka’s EW experience being...

If you sell it to any Tom Dick and Harry to make a quick buck without accompanying EW set up. If you sell it to countries that don't know how to use it properly and if they are used in airspace where modern AD are present, what do you expect? These are lethargic, cumbersome, slow and...

As per @Sanchez ’s post everyone may use a different unit to calculate %ge of locality. 1. percentage of value. 2, percentage of weight and/or volume 3. percentage of importance But as per @TR_123456 ’s post, if you don’t have an engine the rest is superfluous. Had we been a country like...

Irrespective of their sizes, if they are in orbit around the earth, they are satellites and are visible especially if they are emitting RF. In general, EW with microwaves in 4GHz to 8GHz and 8GHz to 12GHz are the way to jam and attack other electronic machinery. The stronger and closer the...

Bro, at what altitude are you thinking of placing those satellites? If you place them at less than 36000km they will not be in synchronous orbit. This means the satellites will not always have full coverage. You would need thousands of satellites like starlink. At 36000km altitude you can not...

We have TB2s stationed at Cyprus. There is a potential military presence of 40K strong, even though the numbers are nor disclosed. Cyprus is effectively a war zone with a long ceasefire in place. It would be naive of us not to place a layered defence system in place. Vural is not stationary...

https://www.defenceturk.net/aselsanin-eh-sistemleri-gkryni-kor-ediyor Aselsan’s VURAL EW system has been operational in Cyprus and causing havoc for the Southern Cypriots. It is connected to the TRS-22XX long range early warning radar system with 500km range that is positioned at 888m elevation...

Regarding Batteries, Aspilsan may be involved. But for the AIP system it was GURBAG with STM working together. https://archive.gdh.digital/milli-denizalti-milden-insasina-2025-yilinda-baslanacak-125486 But quite likely Spanish input may be sought.Current Reis Class utilises acid batteries. But...

May all muslim brothers here have a happy Ramadan Bayramı!

I am sorry but you are so much buried into Radical Islam that you want to get every country to be ruled by Sharia Law. Unfortunately for you, majority of Turkey sees Erdoğan as the worst thing that happened to Turkey. Current polls show him having 30% support and still sliding. Among his...

Well, I was going to write a very long response to @ADMusa 's post. But my learned friend @TR_123456 has said everything that could be said. Just to add; Turkish constitution's unchangeable second article states that : "The Republic of Turkey is a democratic, secular and social State governed...

This could be a good exercise to sell one of the newly built Hisar ships to them and rearm it to a combatant corvette level to see how quickly we can add necessary equipment where the original ship is in FFBNW state. This would show us how quickly in an emergency we can refit the weapons the...

This shows you don’t know what is going on in Turkey. And your second sentence totally contradicts your take on Democracy. Support of opposition by the West is in your mind. There is no evidence of that. If you are writing this as a reply to my post, I am sorry to say that it means nothing as...

In short, No! There is work on indigenous AIP propulsion. But no concrete results as yet Hydrogen Fuel Cell PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) propulsion is a new technology and needs a lot of work. There are only a handful of countries that have access to the technology. Even if this is possible...

Please stay civil. Everyone is free to give their opinion on what they believe, as long as it is within forum rules.

These are not replies to my question. Western democracy is the operative word. Biden allowed the US judicial system to prosecute a former president who supported and actively urged insurrection against the country’s legislative body. Result ; Trump is the President! The only real comparable...

Let's not take it out of context what F.Aksit has said in the midst of a conversation. He was answering a direct question about overall timeline of the TF6000 manufacturing process. Point he was making had a lot to do with the fact that these engines have to go through numerous tests as part of...

1. When Turkey joined F35 programme, Israel and Turkey were best buddies 2. Only after the 2015 coup against Erdogan did we start falling out with Israel 3. Gripen is not in the same caliber as Typhoon. 4. Gripen has US engine and a lot of parts that are sourced from US. 5. Apart from the...
