The sensitive (maintenance nightmare) skin of the F-35.

Lol, you think we are dumb enough to enter a war for 6 aircraft? Well the US can continue to play that tune while Russia annexes half of the world.

Putin will visit Türkiye. This might be the last chance before the triggers are pulled.

No, it is the same TS-1400 engine. Kotil talks about the completion of the certification process as he is the producer of the helicopter. Until the certification process finishes that engine will always stay as a prototype as no aircraft can fly with an engine without a license. 2024 date was...

If Russia invades Ukraine I expect our first 6 F-35s to be given immediately.

Russia sent evacuation orders for the families of the embassy personnel in Lithuania and Letonia. If Kaliningrad is attacked as a retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine Russia might invade those countries to reach the Kaliningrad.

Russian Federation Council, foreign relations committee deputy president Dzhabarov; The offer of the US and NATO is not acceptable Russia will prepare a proper answer in a few days. Other allies including China can join the consultations

The US sent a very soft response to Russia about Russian demands but that won't be useful. Russia's accept my demands attitude was only a gesture. Russia will invade Ukraine regardless of what is written in the official answer. BTW the US urged Russia not to disclose what is written in the...

The Turkish defense industry has better factories and production centers than Motor Sich in terms of modern machinery and modern production capabilities.

We need to develop a national compact 1500hp engine. We can use it on other platforms in the future. We can use it as a generator for a hybrid system. An engine family is a must for Türkiye.

Engineers, technicians, and blueprints are what really matter. Buildings and old soviet machinery are not important.

Türkiye also works on anti-missile missiles for fighters.

Those deals don't tell anything about the flyaway price. The total contract price changes a lot depending on what is included. 3 ground control stations might have 3 landing radars rather than one etc. There are dozens of items that can be customized to fit the customer's needs which will change...

Türkiye can also get workshare from the production and laying the pipes and earn a good chunk from that part of the deal. Anyway, we will hook Blacksea gas to the Turkish grid. Turkmen gas will also flow from Türkiye. We have Blacksea gas, Azerbaijani gas, Qatari gas, Turkmen gas, Russian gas...
