Türkiye has been diversifying for a long time already, Turkic Union and Africa expansion are two examples of this. Turkiye has the number 5 largest foreign representative network in the world now. And the below map shows which countries President Erdoğan has never visited so far (colored in green).

The unanswered question now is "Are we still asking for American upgrade kits or anything F16 at all?".

We are not getting into a deal where we are not getting anything. We can't do a take-it-or-leave-it deal. We are doing an auction-style deal where we maximize our gains.

We don't need those F16s. You don't spend all your money to buy insurance, we don't need to be ensured all that much. Being ensured is not relying on others, relying on others is surrendering. It is not that we have enemies poised to slam a hammer. There is no one who can attack Türkiye other...

Are you saying we need 15 more years, if not what are you saying?

The reality of the situation is we haven't started engine development just today, we have some background in it and in 5 more years we can get there. I am being realistic, you are being pessimistic. We are some of the frontrunners in unmanned fighters too, and it is also part of the picture.

I would give 5 years to a flyable engine while you want to give 15. Given the pace of progress in the TFX development I would be optimistic that the remaining development work will be as fast, as the political support is still there. Add to this that the only major threat to Turkiye comes from...

It is only a few months to the expected date Kaan is supposed to fly and once he flies as expected it is only engines that we need to secure. With all the other plane projects we do not need to shovel lots of money into new F16 procurement. All we need to do is to upgrade the older models with a...

You are wrong beyond recovery.

Erdoğan will surely use this trump card to its maximum value, there is no doubt.

They have most likely installed that landing gear to test other aspects of the plane like taxying and they were not meant for landing.

I wouldn't exclude possibility of other landing options like external thrust vectoring for Hürjet landing on TCG Anadolu.

.45 ACP is naturally subsonic. 9mm subsonic is not available to civilians at this point.

Congratulatios to you for getting a gun permit. Your gun choice totally depends on your usage scenario and your hand size and strenght. Mete lines are designed for satisfying requirements of the Turkish military and police and to be affordable and are all 9mm caliber. Larger calibers have their...

Istanbul capital need a little whipping to make usefull things.

There are two levels of lithography: One is the etching of the chip cores, the other one is the etching of the lines leading from the core to the chip's legs that connects the chip to the board it is to be installed on. So a lower tech is also needed to make the chip. We don't know which one we...

They should sell shares to the public too. I will buy some.

Türkiye needs to eliminate the use of natural gas in power generation. This can be done as nuclear power comes online and renewables grow bigger. Even wave energy is in the works. There is a healthy progress.

There will probably be a vacuum in the microchip universe that need to be filled now that China is sidelined.

There was talk about them having a 7 nm process but than silence prevails.
