What does this even mean? They do have the US, they will always have the US until the day US is alive. When it's not US, it'll be someone else. They survived much worse. Even then, missiles carrying 500kg equivalent tnt doesn't "wipe off" anyone. They are disruptive, but won't make anyone...

I think US economy is like the third or fourth thing they are thinking about for such a plan. Noone wants another forever war, especially against a country of 90 million.

Debts to foreign organizations have never stopped Turkey having a free foreign policy, not in 1921, not in 1974, not in 1995.

It's conjecture of course but, could be true as well.

That's the single most expensive capability any country can achieve force wise. A large, capable, robust air force is honestly cheaper, and less politically cumbersome. If you're not up there in the skies, you don't own them. If you don't own them, anything you have is a target. We are veering...

I don't think anyone doubts that.

Turkey and Greece haven't been in war since 1924, and haven't been actively shooting each other since 1974 after Greek coup and invasion of Cyprus failed. So yes, two being in NATO do keep the tensions down. Onus there is on EU for accepting a country with unresolved territorial and...

By having a large, capable robust air force. There's no other way. Even then, there's no way to really "stop" such action.

Noone mistakes a Peruvian F-16 for the Turkish one. Current lowviz TurAF roundel is this one, as seen on F-35, KE and Anka-3.

I like how we see the single Siper battery on its first ever deployment being caught on cameras, but friends still argue that S-400 is not based in hangars in Mürted but is actually deployed.

Israel used to be a pretty strategic ally of Turkey in a region riddled with Baas dictatorships and a revolutionary Iran. Baathic dictatorships have now all fallen and Iran's Shia Axis is broken in the last decade. Turkey and Israel were allies of circumstance and now they are rivals of...

Only TB3 and Akıncı, with the usual payloads. I'd expect at least a KE mockup as well. Would be nice to show it in front of Dassault's new Neuron. Checking the Akıncı, looks like it's the same PT-10 that test fired Çakır the other day.

Nope. Only photo to come out is a very apparent fake AI slop.

What were the planned numbers throughout the years?

Such an interesting time. New PKK solution process since september, what happened in Syria, and the mostly overlooked recent history of US and NATO aircraft using Turkish airspace to look at Iran are all obviously related. Make up of this what you will, are we biding our time or are now fully...

And I need 5 million in the bank to buy a house but i still live on rent.

Allegedly. US deals are a bit more complex.

They used Cirits to attack Turkish proxies in Libya and Roketsan supplied MLRS in Sudan. When they need it, they will.

Per what's been released, deliveries will start in mid 2030s, so basically. Yet. Libya used to have one of the largest air forces in the region. They used to operate up to 60 Mig-25s and no less than 15 Tu-22s. We are not putting immature engines on a state of the art 150 million+ airframe.
