If I'm understanding your point correctly, EF-2000 is not ITAR-free either. Turkish procurement re geopolitics is complicated overall. Being a NATO country with embargoes added on top, our procurements solely fall to politics and not blanket bans. If we really want EF-2000s, and seems we do...

We have no idea what "Anka-4" is, or whether it will happen in the first place. Anka-4 is not even its official name.

I think we will also see increased bilateral security relations from the Baltics down to Poland, Romania and Black Sea to Turkey, a new eastern axis, solely against Russia. Russian encroachment there doesn't serve us at all, with or without NATO considerations.

Light reflection works weirdly sometimes. We can make out the TT-QAX tail reg.

"NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is due to visit Turkiye on Monday Will meet President Erdoğan, plus FM Fidan + DM Güler. Also notably will visit Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) in Ankara, the scene of the PKK attack last month.... Also notably he will then be in Greece the day after, where he'll...

As with most things UAE, it's complicated. They always hedge their bets.

Both can be true at the same time. A Knesset member going at the PM is important, just as the ICC ruling is. Israel has a hybrid regime, like Turkey does. After a year long war, democracy is still alive in Israel, that's no small feat. That is also one of the chief reasons why fence sitters are...

Turkish Su-35 right there, lovely.

And will have AF500s, so double win. First AF500 export to a NATO country as well.

Nonsensical, that's not how any of this works. Stealth doesn't have an on off switch that you can "add". It's a spectrum. F-15 is not useless against 5th gen fighters and Kaan have by design a much lower RCS with or without the engines being "concealed" or not.

Let's not. That man have proven only that he has a mental issue.

Wonder if we'll see those ropes and pulleys like they first shown in the future. Sending and landing a single aircraft means nothing in carrier operations. I'm very interested in how will sortie generation work with both TB3 and more importantly helicopters. Correct me but if i remember only one...

THEY DID IT.

News pieces still say it'll be equipped with Hisar and Atmaca, but in the link i've given Istanbul Shipyard commander admiral Yetkin only mentions the MKE 76mm gun and says Aselsan adds radars, comms equipment and close air defence systems. And he makes no mention of Roketsan.

First of Hisar Class OPVs, TCG Akhisar is set to start its testing phase next month. https://www.iha.com.tr/istanbul-haberleri/milli-karakol-gemisi-tcg-akhisar-yerli-ve-milli-silah-sistemleriyle-dikkat-cekiyor-146200296

They can't. Germany owns the IP as do other members. There was never going to be a Eurofighter sale without Germany's approval.

Please let's remain on topic.

And Turkey isn't as important as India for US' future plans regarding Pacific. Neither is it the second biggest country on the planet. Until the day India gets F-35s, this doesn't track.

Do you remember when Hürjet visited Konya and made a joint flight with Turkish Stars last year? Why didn't it visit Çiğli instead? Noone have confirmed so far that the 4+12 Hürjets HvKK ordered are the trainer variant, just like Hürkuş isn't. They are the aerobatics variant for the Stars.
