Nonsense. And Mete Yarar is a clown.

What is this? Been trying to find about for some time now. That part was empty in TAI delivery photos, usually only had the pedestal. Looks like she has a winch as well.

That is a lovely footage and wholly confirms the US version of the events. They tried fuel dumping at least two times and on the last try they had a contact, damaging the propeller. Seems it wasn't downed by the contact but ditched by the operator.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this. A helicopter crashed yesterday evening in Duhok, Northern Iraq, killing seven. As per the photos from the crash site, it was a AS350 Ecureuil and as per the preliminary KRG report, it carried PKK militants. Iraqi Government is the only user of the...

This part is weird to me, as the next question is about an MBT. Oshkosh makes heavy duty military trucks, as well as school busses. Heavy duty industry is always intertwined. Same with Otokar that builds armored vehicles and city busses. Why the worry?

I vividly remember one instance. Year was 2012 and first of our then state of the art PO4 birds were getting delivered. It was the same talk. With a bird this relying on network centric concepts, possibility of a third party interfering with it will always be a reality. Yet, it's a deep strike...

Toyotas are damn cool. Are the Ellis being modernized anytime soon or will they be just replaced by the FDI and the future corvette class? That Sea Sparrow launcher just looks sad man.

I'm not a hater, in the future, it can be a lovely platform. But she won't ever reach her absolute potential without STOVL fixed wing jets, that is a reality.

I grew up with people saying had the US pushed a single red button, all our F-16s would just shut down or even worse they would take off at the same time and target Anıtkabir in unison. Turns out, that was all just BS. US doesn't need a "red button". We have immense trade ties with them and the...

We quoted the entirety of that page the other day and openly talked about it here. It has no such notes that is "very disturbing and dangerous"

Ozzyland might be a tad different but being a mostly middle eastern country, Turkey has few issues with way lower than average female employment, higher than average femicides, child brides, honor killings and few other stuff. No need to project Western politics on us, we have enough problems of...

Question is not if Turkey's neighbors have air forces that can threaten Turkey. These are the countries that Anadolu may or may not operate near in the future. They can very well threaten Anadolu, and that is all that matters as losing that ship could mean losing 1500+ men on its full...

Russian Migs, Greek F-16s, Iranian F-14s, Syrian Su-22s, Egyptian Rafales and a few more. If we are opting for an overseas force projection capability, an actual fixed wing jet aboard our amphibs is a necessity. How do you protect Anadolu in the Ionian Sea against Rafales with Exocets? If Turkey...

CAS, CAP, Interceptor.. TB3 carries 300kilos, F-35B 7 tonnes. Correct question should be, is there a role F-35 can't fulfill imo. F-35B at its most basic form is an STOVL F-16 with much greater combat radius.

Quoting this from Feb. If SIPRI is right on this, a deal to directly supply 150 Hisar-O missiles was also penned.: (150) Hisar-O SAM 2022 For Hisar-O SAM systems (3) Hisar-O SAM system 2022 Delivery planned from 2023 Hisar-U SAM 2022...

US operates 300 F-35s, 180 F-22s, and hundreds of F-15s. Most of their operational F-16s are not at a worse level than ours. They are still dominating in the drones field as most of what they do is not exported. Stuff like MQ-25 and XQ-58 is only a portion of what they have available. China...

I wonder if that 530mil figure contains the full program cost with 3rd party components, like the radars, missiles and everything else between. If it does, No way we are winning this. It'd be a net loss fiscally.

MHP have had an effect on Erdogan and AKP. So did Soylu after he joined. Everytime AKP had to seek new allies, allies had a bigger effect on how AKP rules rather than vice versa. Don't get mistaken, if Erdogan wins, Hüda will have a say in how the country is run and will get concessions like...

Army Aviation, like rest of the army is orthodox. Doubt they are interested in a solution that does more than one thing. They want their attack platforms to be attack platforms and cargo ones to be cargo ones. For recce role, T129 is quite capable in itself. Maybe years down the line when T625...

Noone's talking about stopping the development of attack helicopters tho. T929 is already in the works and we have enough T129s to fill our every need at this point and are giving them to the police aviation of all units with more still being built. I do not believe T629 is a "completely...
