    Other than $1.4 B, we’ve set up production line for the program as partners and we’ve lost the contract because of the US government’s decision. As a result, that investment is also registered as financial loss on top of the infamous $1.4 B. You know what this reminds me of? Bullet Fee! For...

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    Mr. Görür’s prediction seems to be correct. And he is persistent that next fault line to be triggered must be Dead Sea Fault starting around Adana as all these stress were being transferred from one plate to next 😔

    A Damage Assessment Commission was created within the Provincial Environment Urbanization and Climate Change Office of Diyarbakir. It employs three hundred personnel and they were - obviously - hastily rushed to the field, equipped with nothing but hammers to assess the damage on the buildings...

    I’m sad. Very sad. Such moments you can’t find any kind of energy in you getting into endless political debacles, bad governance and so on. There are thousands still under the rubbles waiting to be rescued Let’s for the moment just hope for the safety of survivors and pray for those who are...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Actually I tried to hint out the main landing gear (mlg) they chose for the plane Regarding this probabiliTy. It highly resembles the F14’s mlg design which is a strong, rugged one that would endure CV operations. Therefore, I assumed that TAI already designed the plane carrier operations in...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Was gonna ask the same question myself (y) While T50 and T7 designed on center lined main landing gears similar to F16 and old F104, on Hurjet they preferred the main landing gears beneath the wing roots. The only main gain I can think of is Hurjet’s prospective ability to carry centerline...

    Yeah. Mr. Akbaba’s tweet says SIHA, meaning UCAV. Or maybe it just slipped him while he was tweeting.

    If we‘re planning to evolve our operational capabilities into an open sea navy wrt Blue Homeland doctrine on top of homeland shore’s protection, then possessing such vessels should only come natural. So, yeah let’s go for HMS Scott since it’s available

    What I understand from your post is that you’re basically suggesting that we should focus more on naval platforms and capabilities which TN lacks of, instead of wasting our resources and time on Type23. Question: Would RN even consider selling such a strategic component of force when it has...

    So, I believe we’re on the same page here where this “new“ M60 will/might fill the role of adequately armored mobile and faster firepower vehicle supporting infantry, rather than put out for a showdown against enemy MBTs. Kind of reminds me interwar British armor doctrine of two types of tanks...

    Not only it would “violate” the ears of crews, but also a very well known fact that it‘s (the turbine engine) extremely expensive to maintain and close to impossible to repair on the field.

    Alright. Dare I make the assumption that TAF will pick up a new trend that would lead a new doctrine, if you will, which is likely composed of, say, a mechanized infantry supported by this relatively mobile and more armored fire power (modernized M 60) element dashing though enemy lines? If...
