Quran burning incident is the last straw that broke the camel's back. The real problem is Swedish support for terrorism. There are PKK-run bank accounts, PKK recruitment centers, and armed PKK terrorist residing in Sweden, Sweden became a safe haven for Gulenist who fired on Turkish people on...

It might be. It remains to be seen we know very little about TR-UK defense deals.

LooooooL there is no way a TF-35000 prototype to appear in 2024. Are you guys out of your mind? The end of 2026 is presented as a best-case scenario for the first ignition. This puts availability in 2030 at best.

It can be done with outside help. If the US really wants to push it to another level it can donate 3 billion to Greece annually to be spent on American weapons.

It is interesting that according to rumors we are buying T3A, not T4. IMHO it is a good decision. We should buy 40-48 EF-2000 T3A and second-hand T1s from the UK and upgrade T1s. We should buy ECRS radar rather than Captor-E AESA. We should be able to integrate our own weapons into Turkish...

The main logic is to get 4 ships for a scrap price of 100 million and upgrade them extensively. If you throw 70-100 million $ for each ship Turkish industry can change nearly every subsystem of the ship with a national equivalent. It will become something like an Atak chopper. The total price...

Tranche 1s without a radar upgrade are only good for training purposes. I think Tranche 1s should be upgraded with Özgür suite and either Murad or ECRS radar. It is time to switch to AESA radars.

Flag burning is wrong. We have a tradition of respecting flags. We should respect our own traditions. We don't need to lower ourselves to their level.

C-130J is a no-brainer. Our C-130 Erciyes modernization line is open. They will make an immediate impact on our military airlift capability and can be modernized to Erciyes configuration one by one. They are young planes and have a lot of flight hours left.

Don't be discouraged by the Asfat name. İstanbul Military Shipyard Command will build the TF-2000. All military factories and shipyards come together under the Asfat name. Asfat is an umbrella organization. As always İstanbul Tersanesi Komutanlığı will run the show for the first ship of its...

I agree. Even though Type 23s are good ships we should build more I class and subsidize our defense industry even though it will be more expensive in the short run. The type 23 deal is very unlikely. I class has a better combat capability with Cenk-S AESA, Siper and 16x Atmaca but it has half...

According to a navy source, currently, there is no final decision on the matter. A navy committee is inspecting Type 23 ships. The committee will present a report to the MoD. TN wants at least 3 Type 23s. Frigates will be extensively upgraded. The upgrades are expected to take 18 to 24 months...

Although Type 23 class frigates are well-maintained and upgraded TN can't get them as is. Numerous changes have to be made. I don't think this deal is likely. 114mm main cannon should be replaced with a 76mm or 127mm main gun. (huge logistics headache) The command and control system should be...

All of the African terrorists/insurgents are creations of the west. The US, France, etc create the problem and present themselves as the solution. Depending on the attitude of the central governments of African nations they turn on or off the heat and control African nations. This won't work...

1800 smart ammo is a lot. Roketsan probably charges 100k $ per MAM-L. Baykar sells naked/flyaway TB2 for 5 million $. Roketsan is making a huge profit from that deal.

According to some sources Russia sells oil to Turkiye priced at 37 $ per barrel. Big if true.

TCG Anadolu is supposed to be delivered in 2022, and CENK-S is planned for the I class after it became evident that the I class will be delayed a lot. CENK-S will be ready late Q1 or early Q2 this year so you can see there is a time gap between the two platforms. The good thing is switching...

TF-31 means the first of the three (MMU, Kızılelma, Anka-3). Kızılelma should be TF-32 and Anka 3 should be TF-33.

I think we should name it TF-31 Yaraq which means "weapon" in old Turkish.
