Is this a fact (because I’ve never heard of such a deal with Azerbaijan) or are you just suggesting a future proposal?

Guys we need to keep our cool. You surely must realize that those are provocateurs who cheap agitate Turkish people by hitting their soft spot. Their access to NATO will only be achieved when they only satisfy Turkey’s rightful security concerns. They know they’re desperate and no other NATO...

What a great find. Turkey most probably with a push from the military, considered an atomic weapon capability gain. It seems that the scientific community was being pushed really hard by the military to the breaking point. And finally, the “reliable source” gave in. The motivation behind such...

Here, here. This forum, when the members keep their cool, brings out the best in anybody and end result is beautiful 🤩

Which means they don’t deny it either

We have seen this happening repeatedly in recent decades. Thanks to its neutered diplomatic corpse by its own government, Turkey is coming to every negotiation table with the zero sum approach which is unacceptable in diplomacy. And we all know the score. You can not demand everything from...

You see, that’s where my confusion begins. When a radar is active, it sends electromagnetic waves and anti-radiation missiles hunt on those waves, right. So, a harm missile should track it and kill the radar. Since it actively emits EM waves and anti radiation missile locks on it, it leaves a...

A very well known story. A true story. Maybe we should remember it at this particular moment. When the Turkish Army recaptured Izmir, some zealots laid down a Greek flag on the ground, beneath Ataturk‘s feet so that he could step on it on his way to the city hall. He, however, simply tripped...

Seriously though, what are the countermeasures against anti-radiation missiles like Akbaba, Harm and others? Or are there even any? edit: Sorry folks. As you can clearly see I don’t know anything about this.

At the risk of repeating myself, I will echo your words and add that the term “pocket frigate” is not just a cute moniker but a legit one defining a role where designations fall short of doing the job. It definitely doesn’t describe a doctrine but helps clarify the distinction between corvette...

Alright, are the British gonna give them to us as tokens (free, for instance) to sweeten the other arm deals as some people suggest? And if it’s the case, like you and others said before, not a single weapon and electronic system on the ship compatible with TN systems. Wouldn’t it at least take...

Hmm. A little on the harsh side but safe, good advice. So, that makes you the “Dutch Uncle“ of the forum :giggle::giggle::giggle:

There is this “contemporary“ take on modern designations by @Nilgiri and here is his post if you haven’t seen it yet My understanding is that modern navies are more keen to designate warships around two components. Punch power (Sensors, weapons load) vs endurance (operational range with...

Uh-huh! My friends told me not to play your game :LOL: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I’ll take your word and wait until 21st ;)

The ship they’ve ”torpedoed”, wasn’t that a Gabya class ship (originally Oliver Hazard Perry class)? When did the TN retire any of its Gabya class vessels? I strongly believe that it’s from a US Navy exercise (or even Australian or Spanish or any other former users) edited to the end. EDIT: I...

Unfortunately or fortunately (depending where you stand at any given conflict), there is no metrics invented to measure the will of a defending nation and their defiance against the invader.

Just as I predicted. please see my post below from the past BTW, I didn’t dig up this old post to brag. Just brought it back to exhibit you how predictable some of the DC think tank “thinkers“ are and what a hollow collective set of mind they have in reality. It’s almost see through. Below is...

For the moment, I believe so. Yet, they are churning out so many state of the art tech locally so fast that, it’s not a brainer to rightfully assume that those will be replaced with domestic units in good time. Naval experts here might update and enlighten us about any timetable.

Right on the spot. As a former computer gamer, what attracted me to a computer game, strategy genre in particular, other than game engine, modeling and everything else was the story line and plots and AI responsiveness. So SW is one thing but good scenario and history knowledge and artistic...
