If you're going to retort a point, please do read the thing you send as a reply first. I did actually read that 2 weeks ago so I do know that it doesn't actually say what you think it says. It's a nothingburger "US should cancel the F-35" piece like hundreds of others in the last 20 years...

Unclear.

No single country reduced or cancelled their orders yet. We could still get share of work without purchasing F-35s. Presumably we will never get anything as I really doubt Turkey returning to the program as a manufacturer is in the cards at all at this stage.

Uzbek leaders are not beholden to Turkish ones, that's not how any of this works.

It's the camel story basically. His premise is wrong, for starters. Israel didn't just use ALBMs against Iran. They used everything from small drones to kill Haniyeh to cruise missiles and ALBMs. F-35s may or may not have flew all the way to Zagros mountains or not, we do not know. There is...

No, not at all. He's clueless.

That would be South America, not Pacific. Pacific naming is indeed interesting. CV90120 is now also being sent to Brazil for testing. There's the first rival. Otokar securing this would be a major victory.

What can we offer to Uzbekistan today and in the future? At some point we will also need to accept the fact that Greece and South Cyprus are EU. We should watch the North Cyprus elections for this year. Let's see what is the new policy after the last 5 year's two states policy pretty visibly...

That tends to happen when you don't have anything to offer in a counter offer. What can we offer to Uzbekistan?

With what money? We don't have enough budget for our own needs in the first place. Syria doesn't have access to capital as it's still sanctioned by US and they are hungry for oil coming from the east.

Many people put forward many things. Israel doesn't have the capability or the force structure to force a corridor through the Syrian desert, Raqqa, tribal territory and Tabqa to the north. They barely handle the Druze and the tribes near Golan.

Assad being weak did not have any advantages for us, with millions of Syrians in Turkey and with Syrian markets being closed to us. It was pretty advantageous for Israel as they still had free reign over Syrian airspace. Assad being gone and Russians being reduced to a single base for the time...

Mansup is basically the Brazilian Exocet. Ironically we have now come full circle in engine development, from using French engines to being ambargoed, to making our own and now selling said engines to others. First version of Mansup had a Brazilian engine. Pretty sure Edge buying half of the...

Remembering this from October. "Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler received Lieutenant General Saddam Khalifa Haftar, Commander of the Libyan National Army Land Forces, who came to Ankara at the invitation of General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu, Commander of the Turkish Land Forces."...

Good eye from 2 weeks ago.

Yup, ramjet engine =/= ramjet engine missile. For starters, I believe Aselsan will deliver the seeker heads for first Gökhan (prototypes) in 2026. First real world operational deployment of Gökhan with LRIP units I think is at least 5 years away.

Tübitak SAGE 2024 report. Gökhan is still years away. "- The preliminary design of the Ramjet-powered GÖKHAN missile has been completed. - Low-scale production of Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan missiles and their integration into F-16 PO-III and F-16 Block30 Özgür aircraft are ongoing."

They order Airbus or Boeing because it's a duopoly. There isn't any Turkish market for regional jets, every single airliner that tried it failed. Our market is small, number of passengers is small and we have plenty of large airports. It just makes much more sense to buy a A320 and send it to...

At some point we will need to discuss the escalation latter and the consequences of the possible Israeli Turkish standoff.

10-15 years too late, but great news regardless. Hope it's more than just building build to print parts.
