    This is really good news. I was always wondering what kind weather conditions it can perform. I don’t know the ”conditional sea operation“ capabilities and limits of TCG Anadolu, but when the sea conditions permitting, TB3 can launch and perform its missions ahead of the fleet in a nasty...

    My comment was quite around the same lines, I believe. When I said the US (or any other actor for that matter) can’t play with India, I meant not to be moved around like a chess piece since it’s a steady and smart enough country not be played with and am aware of India’s “unwillingness” to...

    That pretty much sums up the US ’evil to good back to evil’ cycle and sounds correct. Unlike, however, other toys the US played and threw away after a while, India is serious business. It’s finally emerging as the next economic giant (as we all know) and for a change, it had a rather good...

    Cool. Ok, read the link you provided but can’t see anything regarding the manufacturer of DIRCM. Do we know who made it?

    Same here. Did a lot of search and all I got was retrofit news but no description of what the ”retrofit” contains. One military site said something like “hardware and software“ retrofit. It‘s still a vague description and couldn’t confirm it anywhere else. Why the secrecy, seriously?

    And why would they not? India deserves better now that the US making it up them after she dropped Pakistan and let’s face it, India is considered the ’final frontier’ against China, the new evil empire.

    I don’t think that it would present a huge engineering challenge to build a structure strong enough to hold a large, heavy mass on top of the hangar. Wouldn’t be easy but it can be done and extremely expensive and even might extend the overall construction time. Also the the size and weight...

    Let’s just say that they are the most ardent crusaders of righteousness and defenders of underdogs and leave it there. …. To be followed by a huge 😜 and 😂

    If I don’t know better, I’d say you’re baiting here 😄 Isn't it obvious? It’s irreconcilable political differences on many levels of course.

    So, you are talking about bad management of our nationa education system. I agree and wrote that. It shouldn’t be a privilege but a universal right, and yes, our own people should enjoy it freely.

    Now I’m confused. Rest what part of your case? That it should be exclusively for Turks and Turkish speakers only and disqualify others or it should be universally free for everyone?

    I don’t know about the money part but if he/she is academically bright and promising, that kid should have a right of education.

    Totally irrelevant to universal ideals of a university. They are places of learning and enlightenment regardless of one’s race, nationality, ethnicity, skin color, creed, faith, gender. If, on the other hand, your concern is for the inequality of education system in Turkey as a whole, I’m with...

    Thanks, but no thanks. The only favor they could do us is to stay away from Turkish projects because even the French fed up with their phony righteousness toward underdog nations and the risk of their ever present veto on any sale.

    Agreed. In fact, I’m surprised that they finally decided to get rid of the Russian yoke off their shoulders. That said however it will take more than this gesture of approachment towards Europe to get away from Russian political, cultural and economic influence. It’s deeply rooted In Kazakhstan...

    I am not sure that it brings us to such point to arrive this conclusion. I think what it shows that Turkey does not carry enough weight over the Turkish world as she boasts! It’s a freaking invitation bro. If you have so much power in this so called Turkic World, then demonstrate it. Put your...

    Exactly. I was arriving at the same conclusion, I believe. Just don’t start with France. Seek other partnerships at the start or get ready to face the serious French assertiveness, demands. If these don’t work, like you said, expect wasting your years and even fail.

    Maybe 🤔 But they always had Snecma/Safran and it always served to their purposes, right? edit: except one project of their own where they designed it around a GE engine. Can’t remember which project but it didn’t go beyond prototype phase, iirc
