    And if I may add the fact that unmanned turret was not considered up until war in Ukraine because it was clearly seen that tanks are easily destroyed by various new threats on the battlefield other than classic threats they were designed to face for decades. Fully autonomous tanks are not mere...

    I think you good point there when you say overestimate ‘cause let’s face it, there are tank haters as much as worshippers . Your second point though, I’m also not sure about it but Western countries already working on unmanned turret tank designs and envision fully autonomous units. We also...

    The only work force he is concerned about is pick up truck jobs at giant corporates and miners in PA. Also, as next president’s advisor Musk already dissed and mocked F35 this might be a good idea 😅

    Yes we are. As a matter of fact, Turkey literally showcased what modern multi dimensional warfare doctrine can do at Karabagh. However, it was dissed by hesitant, Turkish haters as “poor man’s war”. I think what @Yasar_TR abi means is that, we just can’t call it a day, and say we’re good now...

    I must agree with @TheInsider as this particular project has been draining our resources since almost its inception. This doesn’t mean that tank is dead (which theinsider didn’t claim btw) like others said. They were overwhelmed by use of new kind of weapons that they were considered but not...

    When I was young, a teenager actually, many moons ago (late 1980s I believe) I remember some M48s going through a modernization with the German assistance at 901st. The 90mm main gun was replaced with 105mm together with some other things and even back then 120mm was already standard NATO main...

    “If i recall correctly they have visited Baykar, or somehow got some technical briefing about TB3.” I remember when that news came out and I admit I dismissed it right away not because i don’t believe in our hardware but because Japan’s given technological level. I assumed developing a UCAV...

    Bro I agree that we Turks, in general have an inferiority complex and it’s legendary. But I am not really sure what bothers me most honestly. Their inferiority issues or insult oozing comments which are dead giveaway of their ignorance? 😵‍💫

    That’s what I meant when I say from the US POV, which will never happen, like you put it. They “severely warned” India when they went for S400 but nothing happened. So, do not consider it like it’s etched on rocks for eternity. The US will manevour around it or strike in the middle as it...
