I'm not required to. We gave all the reason in the world directly on a silver platter already. Someone teach me the mental gymnastics of this. US booted us from F-35 because they don't like us and removed an absolute leverage they would have over us over the next 40 years. But we are pretty...

This is historical revisionism, nothing more. Turkish pilots were literally training on F-35s built for turkey in 2019. First two F-35s were officially handed to Turkish use in 2018. https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/the-turaf-s-first-two-f-35s-delivered-to-turkey-3119 Had Turkey...

Russians should also sell it to someone in South America and then TB2 can boast to have killed a Pantsir on every continent except for North America and Antarctica.

There was also this yesterday. Conflict is a horible source, and didn't see anything in Malaysian sources confirming all finalists being Turkish yet.

I don't see the relation. If someone gives AA to PKK, it'll be US directly, not via intermediaries. I'm following weapons deliveries to PKK in Syria for about 10 years. Biggest stuff they have on hand are TOW, Humvees and Maxxpros still. No AA, no Javelins.

Look at that storm.

Not sure about the news but photo is from 2019. "The Iraqi Ministry of Defense announced that it had received an advanced air defense missile system"...

"The Chancellor did not go into the Eurofighter issue at all. In other words, he did not comment on the point of 'we will give it or not'. We have already given our answer clearly. If they give us these planes, they give them to us, and if they don't, do we have no doors to knock on? Very much...

And there she goes. Successful test all around.

Unbelievable. Look at that! That was an awesome display of RUD.

And here they are. Ecuador's Urals with their drab olive colors. Unlike Cobra IIs, they went with a closed top turret.

Meteor is one thing. Will we be able to add our own systems, even our weapons to them whether they are new built or second hand? From a technical, organizational and conceptual look, this potential deal is a mess and the official talks for it and its details would take years to conclude if we...

I would very much like our tankers to not burn to a crisp when PKK decides to lob an ATGM over the Syrian border to their M60A3. Development of a new tank and production of Altay can go hand in hand.

Turkey currently have 330 Leo2s and 160 M60Ts as its mainline tanks. Adding 250 Altays to that number is a 50% increase in mainline tanks. If and when T1 and T2 is complete, it will be the biggest modernization we had since Leo2 purchase in 2000s. 250 tanks is no small number and it will cost at...

Pirireis provisional delivery delayed again, to Feb 2024.

Russia can't produce a high performance turbofan engine that can last 8k flight hours. China is yet to prove they can. No need to give F-35 as an example. F-16 works too. It is the most built modern fighter in existence. European countries you listed doesn't have low numbers of tanks because...

Some online think that the second test flight will be make or break. I disagree. A lot is hanging on the Starship. They will power through it and get at least 3-4 more.
