Petition to make her either new minister of defence or employ her as a CRAM system on an army base? :) Her saves were amazing.

We had 150 F-4s and 100 F-5s back in 90s. As well as 200 F-104s in 89. Real drop in numbers that now effects us happened after 2010s. We should have had at least 80-90 F-35s by now.

Drones we have can't currently undertake F-4's roles except for dropping HGKs in COIN ops. In their near retirement old age, they are required to work day and night, because we don't have a substitute.

Don't think this is an event that will lead to fleet being grounded. It's a mature platform with tens of thousands of pages of after service reports on the books. Unless a mass frenzy by populace demands it. They should have been retired 5-6 years ago already, but again, we don't have any...

Shit event, but mishaps happen. Good that noone was hurt. We have no details but more than likely it was a sloppy connection to the pylon and not related to the aircraft itself. Presumably the aircraft in question is the one that was on static display for Teknofest Ankara. Maybe people got...

Turkey, or any other country for that matter, currently does not recognize Taliban as the sovereign ruler of Afghanistan. We also don't sell weapons to non UN recognized entities, so I don't see weapons sales on the horizon before Turkey recognizes Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

To add to this, the call happened just before Netenyahu met with the South Cypriot PM. Israeli minister says the call was made in line with Bibi's office, so not another diplomatic fuckup like in Libya. Netenyahu was set to visit Turkey before he underwent an operation last month and now...

I remember the one. Was it HD and on TRT tho? I think not.. :) Listening to extremist drivel on twitter, you'd think Ebrar is a traitor heathen hellbent on destroying our country. Girl literally cried her heart out when singing the national anthem and before that was telling the Italian coach...

I'm thinking, Hürjet will see more export success as a light fighter in the future than a LIFT trainer for this exact reason. Sale of trainer aircraft nowadays also brings manuals and more importantly flying school "memberships" alongside. TAI being part of the international test pilot school is...

Just got home. We never had footage of Turkish air force bombing Serb positions before. This was a good substitute. LET'S GOOOOO

You can read that as "mass production models will begin deliveries from 2024 onwards"

Turkish energy minister to visit Israel in near future.

There will be plenty of showings made by multiple municipalities around the city. Taksim is still closed off for public events.

Don't think we should go down that rabbit hole. That's clearly dumbing down for the audience and actual meaning is "high tech exports are better than fruits." No need to read too much into it.

Ebrar Karakurt in her erkek midir kadın mıdır bilmem shewolf form did more for this country than 1000s of men combined. Have some respect, have some dignity. She has it tough as an LGBT Turkish nationalist. Islamists hate her because who she is, Kurdish nationalists hate her because she doesn't...

Selling tankers to India against Chinese navy is one thing, I don't think Pakistan will like Afghanistan having TB2s..

ÖKK could be an interesting tester of such a platform. A KMC-U on a Pars 6x6, armed with UMTAS-GMs and Sungur. And there's a precedent, so could be an easier sell to our dinosaurs.

ADATS could be an interesting read for such a concept. Though it employed double role missiles, instead of different mounts.

Even using Kaplan STA as a starting point for a standoff support system was a huge step that surprised me. We know they worked in implementing Cirit a decade ago on ACVs and fixed pedestal mounts. You are right that it was a starting point. An AA-AG mix though, employs two different class of...
