@Iskander For such a beauty, i’ll gladly ignore any flaws 🫠

Annual update! March 18, 2025 Today it is the 110th Anniversary of Çanakkale Victory. 108 years ago, today, Allied Naval Operations of Gallipoli Campaign brought to a stop by Turkish Forces around Çanakkale (Dardanelles). This battle practically ended the naval phase of the campaign, hence to...

whatever lived between me and Akari is now in the past. Please don’t bring that up again 😤

Not really. Actually, right after I took the Japanese course for a while and dropped it (shame on me), I was naturally more careful listening the Japanese parts when I rewatched it on VHS. Dude, I was amazed to hear it and that particular scene etched to my mind 😇

Remember Fuchida bringing new Zeros to Akagi? Genda was admiring the new batch of arrival while Fuchida was bragging the new variant was even better than “Spitto Fayro”!

“The kanji (writing) all comes from Chinese, but this posed a problem given the agglutination in Japanese.” It was the similar case with Ottoman Turkish actually. The Arabic alphabet with a ton of consonants were not a good match for vowel rich Turkish. “You are going to have to tell me the...

😂😂😂 You didn’t pay much attention when i said i was weaving a treacherous web all over your forum, didn’t you 😎

I, for one, can testify that Japanese language consonant vowel harmony. I took Japanese course at Yıldız University with the Japanese Cultural initiate many moons ago. Ill give you a small example from a war movie and knowing that you’re a movie buff, you’ll right away know what movie it is...

It’s due to so called vowel harmony of Turkic languages. There are technically no end to suffixes! Mind you, suffixes themselves should be harmonized as well. In your example of “nasılsınız”, as the last vowel of the word nasıl is ı (not i), the following suffix should also contain ı, hence the...

Funny thing, being raised in Istanbul, by the sea, I always thought every other culture had a word for that phenomenon. “Yakamoz is the shimmering beautiful moonlight as it reflects on the water at night. It was voted the most beautiful word in the world and is used often in poetry for its...

Yeah, we get linguistic training as well 🤫

Ah, easy. Yakamoz I learned it from YouTube linguistics channels btw.

Honestly, I haven meant the tech side of it but have meant more as a political move which wouldn‘t put Turkey in a position against US when Europe is turning anti-US and pushing Turkey forward as the “major military power of Europe“! That might put Turkey in a direct collision line against US in...

After all that’s been said and done, we must also remember that this is mainly a political gesture not to alienate ourselves and take a confrontational stance against St. Citrus 🍊

I guess you’re right. There has to be a give and take between service budgets.

I wish, oh how I wish if they could take a shot behind the engine during take off so that we could’ve seen flame extending from AB! edit: I’m not challenging that it’s not an AB take off. No problem there

https://theaviationist.com/2025/03/15/canada-reconsidering-f-35/ By David Cenciotti Looks like they are second in line dropping or considering cancelling F35 after Portugal. Theirs is not gonna be an easy task, however. Canada already paid for the first 16 planes and their air fleet lacking...

I really don’t know tbh. Seen him enthusiastically writing for the recent Italo - Turko approachment at X timeline since the Piaggio deal. He is giving quite the anti-EU vibe. Thats all I know.

As they’re military secrets, I doubt they will ever reveal the nature of them.

Marco Florian Geo: “While the 🇪🇺 EU wastes time in useless discussions, those who really work, show results. First launch of an 🚀 ATMACA missile from a Turkish Navy 🇹🇷 submarine (TDK). Ankara is making great strides. What can I say? Compliments.” I never post empty pompous flatteries that...
