While that may be the case I think it's in our interest to ensure to stay out of it, and look for benefits to us. Just like during the cold war we should ensure that we get what we want. So closing kürecik radar base should be first step. Someone will whine "oh no it's protecting us", I call...

Privatizing railways in a country where rule of law doesn't exist will not benefit anyone. just like how you need different institutions and organizations for audit, control, oversight and such. The government has spent the last 15-20 years tearing all of that apart and centralizing the power on...

The Ministry of Defence's Material and Procurement Agency has on Friday entered into an agreement with German Rheinmetall on the purchase of 16 Skyranger 30 towers. The system consists of machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles and will form the backbone of the Army's mobile anti-aircraft...

I never managed to send my reply, but I remember reading here, recently that the trainer platforms should be as close to the platform they're going to be flying so the transition is easier. And like Sanchez said, I as also thought the Hürkus was going to be used more often, hence why we have...

So if turboprop airframes are good enough for training, wouldn't it be great if we had lots of Hürkus in our inventory. I'd of course prefer with domestic engine... How many did TSK order ?

https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/environmental-assessment-process-for-byd-plant-launched-201266 Tbh I know they're building the new factory in western Türkiye because the infrastructure is so good, but I would have hoped they'd build it elsewhere to diversify a bit. Especially since government...

https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/uncertainties-reduced-significantly-says-vp-yilmaz-201262 Well, stabilizing the prices should hopefully reduce inflation.

I don't understand the mindset of people thinking it's too late to develop an engine for e.g. Hürkus, Atak, pt6 type engine. So we should just give up because someone else beat us to it. Don't bother because the others are better. You know TN had to struggle because of that kind of mindset and...

Isn't a tradition to salute the president when combat ships go like this. Nothing to do with RTE perse.

Well considering how we're sending off our AW frigate to Somalia. It's hard to believe that our government has coordinated this move with TN. As such it's paramount that TCG capabilities are raised to be able to safeguard our interest in Mavi Vatan. I don't see how our Navy has leeway to send...

Nothing wrong with being aware of how much we've weakened our hand politically

I don't think their purchase will matter tbh. And should it happened and conflict arises again, do anyone here thinks it's going to matter how and what they buy in the face of tb2, Akinci, harop and such things. How are they going to supply Armenia, through which airspace ? Too many other...

I sincerely hope that these production facilities can be used to employ smart people that could contribute to our defense sector development.

BMC power says they've sent the first batch of utku and batu to sakarya to be tested. And 2 tuna sent to Izmir for educational purpose

There is no recovery for that might as well secure 90+ engine for hürjet and see how many we get delivered before embargoed. Drowning EU in refugges could have but big problems there but someone chose to drown us in these problems

Now if only TuAF would order 250 Hürjet we'd both raise the market share of Hürjet of the "potential" market that exists. alas whether we can get an export permit for the engines from the US remains to be seen.

I see more blah blah..... My answer to that stuff is: Balik kavaga cikinca, kum cicek acinca

Good reminder of where we are. But I'd like to add that as long as our allies get what they want from our "alliance" of sorts, I don't see any inclination that they are willing to fulfill their part of the deal. As I see it they are not interested in Türkiye being able to do airmissions, so...

It just gets tiresome to edit and correct people non-stop...
