And we are to believe a military blogger that all these countries: Gave away billions of € and their sovereignty to the US? Except for just random bloggers, the only other post I found that mentions anything like it is this Quora post, which explains it and seems reasonable that passwords...

Do we have the funds for two baskets?

Just a quick remark: 4bln € in 1990 adjusted for inflation is around 7bln € today.

No thats not an excuse. Even the Soviet Union managed to buy semiconductor technology from the UK.

What the country needs is technocrats, science based decision-making. We have a solid industry base but most of them are low level/margin exports.

Seems like nobody is talking about the MMU engine tender any more, and TEI sounds confident that they know they will get the deal.

We're late to the party, but TSMC and UMC Number 1 and 3 in the world based in Taiwan have both started as: 1. Government research institute was funded for R&D 2. Technology was bought abroad 3. They got it running 4. Spin off as a private or partly private company. It can be repeated and...

We dont have a single fab, and you seriously want to talk about building your own Lithography machines. That includes not only the machine itself but also the Zeiss Optics, Triumpf lasers and that's only scratching the surface. Semiconductors are not like defence equipment, there is a lot of...

ASML is "only" a manufacturer, the leading one but still only one with Nikon and Toshiba (i believe?) behind it that is only one part of the entire production line. These are highly specialized companies in their field, together with Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron very unique and leading...

You've been told a dozen times. I dont know if I'm talking to a wall at this point. You can engage his argument if you wish to do so. But quit your BS "you're not from here, you cant tell us this or that" stance. If its wrong tell him why, if you dont know why or cant contribute something...

As if the constitution has never been changed before for personal political gains. https://www.politico.eu/article/sitki-ayan-recep-tayyip-erdogan-terrorism-hezbollah-iran-turkey-lebanon/ An article about the recent sanctions on Erdogan school buddy and how he helps Iran to funnel billions...

Its not. If you spent five minutes reading, you'd know that. The Turkish government requested those F16s. You can read the proposal yourself instead of speculating.

"1 person has said something so the entire diverse group of people he is one little part of is bad." "One F35 had a minor accident so all F35 are shit" All of these arguments are weak and pathetic. Thats my opinion as a private person, not a mod. Instead of generalizing, the real eyebrow...

Foreign ambassador says something that the country he's working in will appreciate. Hold the presses /s In other words he did his job, were you expecting him to say no we will never buy anything or be a diplomat and be diplomatic about the answer? Hardly even news. Anyway, topic is about...

I'll post this here, since I don't want this discussion to derail the T-FX thread. As I said, It is better two have one bird in the hand than two in the bush. It's better to be prepared than to hope that TF-X will be all smooth sailing and go into production as the announced plans. Rarely ever...

My MSCI Turkey ETF is down, even with the Turkish stock market rising.

There's an English saying: one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. F16 are combat proven, TF-X is still in development. It's better to have the F16 and not need them, instead of needing them urgently because of unexpected delays in the development of TF-X and then beeing in even deeper...

There are almost 10 years to bridge till our squadrons of TF-X and Hürjets fly.
