This thread is really interesting to follow. The development in rebel resistance is interesting to follow. It’s literally jungle warfare and it’s quite different to what we see in ME, Ukraine.
Does the rebels even have artillery ? Or anything heavy hitting ?
That does sound like a really good deal :)
Especially if our cooperation with BD ensures that our products (if they live up to expectation) get preferential treatment :)

I like the movie warlord where the arms merchants are like satellites for some countries doing the delivery of weapons to different places in the world. I think it's important to have contacts and such to really be able utilize for our own benefit. It's important that groups like these don't...

Apparently low. But hey we share same mentality so important statesmen probably fly around together. To have security protocol you need a system that can’t be beatem or forced to submission kinda like US protocols
People are just adding all their fantasies and trying to rationalize the time spent on Hürjet.
Trainer jet and light armed version is more realistic expectation than what people hve been saying.
let’s not forget that it’s our first jet that flew and still a platform I think we can use to learn...
Beautiful jet. I hope we’ll get it in a combat configuration soon and TuAF orders plenty of them.
Some people here seems to be used to feed their bellies with what ifs and other BS.

So they're basically oppressing the unrest.
I agree that France is still doing their best to retain their colonies. I think supporting indigineous people and their projects through NGO would be a really good move.

Why this French island in the Pacific is being roiled by violence over a vote held 10,000 miles away
CNN —
The French government has declared a state of emergency in its South Pacific island territory of New Caledonia after deadly violence erupted for a third day Wednesday, with armed clashes...
I'm sorry, but wouldn't cirit not be a good option if Roketsan made a dual tube shoulder launcher ? (I was thinking 4 tubes, but might be a bit heavy for lifting :) )
Although the lenght is a problem imo, should be short around 1.2m.
