    Then it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine something around 3000 tons or even larger maybe?

    Exactly! The EEZ agreement between Turkey and Libya must always be observed as the mainstay of Turkish foreign policy by all governments. Remember, this geostrategic ‘leap’ from classical Turkish ‘reactive’ foreign policy stand was not our doing. This EEZ thing came to this world after an...

    Yes they have a long history of CV operations but don’t have a CV ready UAV let alone a jet powered one. If there is an Embraer UAV project going on, that’s, of course, another story.

    Now if Turkey can really pull this off, it will not only cement her place in the global arms market but also firmly establish her as one of the leading warfare innovators in the world! Hope they tie up a deal with Brazil fast. Don’t care whether Tb3 or Kizilelma, just sell an UAV to be launched...

    True. And like you said the shift in their military capacity from a limited defensive stance toward an intensified conflict participant is clear as day. This was what boggling my mind for quite a while. It‘s not hard to admire, envy and even be jealous of Japanese achievements of the last six...

    Nowhere I said that if Turkey can do it why Japan does not do it. I merely asked a question why Japan, of all the nations, does not have an UAV program. And I asked it in a curious tone, because I’m curious. Nothing else.

    “Being an island nation, the military is only interested in defending the mainland, so maybe that's why they felt something like the MQ-9B was too expensive and unnecessary?” This is the most plausible explanation I could come up with, too. One should consider the fact that their constitution...

    When that rich country happens to be Japan, the top technology inventor on many industrial fields you just wonder why, regardless any urgency. I was not being cynical here btw, just wondering. That’s all ;)

    I can understand your “bias” against them but what I really wonder is how come Japan, the top industrial country with the technological innovation list stretching miles long would wanna do shopping around for any UAV platform instead of developing locally. Budgetary concerns? The high price per...

    It is the usual three tones camo. The Pattern is a little bit unusual though. You got a point there. Maybe to distinct between two phases?

    Uh-oh! @Anmdt giving us another product teaser and hands down, he never fails to deliver the product ;) @Baryshx **whisper mode** Word of caution: Do not play his words game or you’ll get burned! :LOL:

    This is where I fail to understand (or appreciate?) the loyal wingman concept other than a grasp of general idea behind it. Will the MUM-T (Man Unmanned Teaming) dictate a classic close flight formation where the the loyal wingman act as protection of the MMU or will it be diverted off ahead to...

    It was left undetermined iirc. I did some search and couldn’t find anything to support the two seater variant in a foreseeable future. I found, however, that TUSAS had revealed at a press meeting they were ready to design a two seater to maximize the MUM-T (Manned Unmmaned Teaming) mission...

    Again, the excitement was exceedingly high which turned the atmosphere of the forum into a hectic state and honestly bordering on chaos at times. Realizing this, I decided to sit back and wait it simmer down just like @Saithan :)
