Proliferation of SAM systems is an ongoing process. How would you like to buy 100 planes 100 million euro each in an environment where they would all be shot down by your enemy the moment they took off and approached your border?

A few things. KAAN is supposed to supercruise, although a version that can't would still be fine honestly. KAAN is a big plane so that could mean significantly higher drag coefficient. On top, compared to something like F22, the actual wing area is smaller so lift is going to be an issue too.

Gonna be a thicc boy is what he means

Isn’t it most useful for increasing take off weight and or reducing distance

The actual landing gear was supposed to arrive these days before flight so I think they are replacing those on first prototype

Did you sneak into factory at night

https://www.defenceturk.net/murad-radari-akinci-tihaya-entegre-edildi Hope we start seeing F16 integration soon

I hope we can see Hisar Block 2 tests by then

Our problem is widespread complacency and ignorance, especially about politics and economy, and I'd go so far as to say more than 90% of the country. It is very difficult to train smart and knowledgeable people, but more importantly you should be able to know their value and create the system...

I don’t know how up to date wikipedia is but if we have 785 M60 and 750 M48, surely Altay is worth acquiring in good numbers in this version as well. Soldiers are vocal about their dissatisfaction with older tanks.

Isn't 250 a bit too low, hopefully that's just the first batch, we need 1000+ tanks that need replacement

I mean at least they are not f4?

A move like this wouldn't come without us basically becoming china's vassal and abandon west entirely. Extremely stupid but I can't rule it out sadly

Nice chonky mast

Directly opens with S80 talk and rips a new one to people who spread the speculation

Working with Navantia on MILDEN and MILGEM just goes against the purpose of the project. We already have Reis class being built. MILDEN is not just about acquiring good submarines it is a project to acquire indigenous submarine building capacity with our knowledge from previous projects.

I have had the impression for a while that while PD222 is intended for that purpose, because it goes down to 115HP at 30k feet vs 130HP of Pd170 they were actually intending to use PD170 instead thinking it might be enough for take off.

Gökdoğan was first said to have 65km+ that’s good if it’s quoted at 100 now. Btw doesn’t dual pulse essentially activate near the terminal stage and give the missile a significant energy boost and manoeuvrability close to target, making no escape zone longer, essentially?

In last AMS podcast I've heard we are still buying RPG 7 from abroad. I mean I think with its price RPG 7 will still be relevant alongside other grenade and missile launchers, because ATGM are far more expensive, but seriously, that's something we could easily make a slightly more modern...
