Catching up with technology is easier. Not that we can be frontrunners in tech (also this is economy and population mass related), but todays interconnection, internet, international education possibilities makes catching up with technology easier.

Catcing up with US or China is out of question. China is 1.5bln people US is 52 states (each richer than Turkiye) with 350mln people There is no way that we can catch up with our current economy. We ain't trying to match up with US or China, we try to be the dominating power in our neighborhood

Non of them are a match for Turkiye. We should stop thinking in short terms with stopgaps. Put full power into development of Hurjet, Kizilelma, ANKA-3, TFx, this is the way! I don't really get why the Ozgur upgrade is this much delayed, money should be poured into this instead of chasing the...

The relation is we rather get ourselves occupied with unimportant futile things, get ourselves detached from realities

45k deaths from earthquakes and look where we Turks make fuss about. We really deserve it all

That is typical in developing countries like Turkiye. Status, high farts. I worked in companies like Erikson, where the CEO washed his own cups. So what, does it make him less? IMHO he got a lot more respect because he was not a guy full of air

What a BS things we are keeping ourselves busy with. What does it matter if the guy is a general or not, he is there amongst friends and collogues and cleans the table of some cups as gesture. Only in Turkiye we make a cloud from a fart

As I see our LHD will mostly be of service around Africa (Libya, Somalia etc.). And in such equipped with TB-3, Kizilelma, Hurkus II and perhaps at later stadium a variant of Hurjet ain't that bad at all I recon too. Our TCG Anadolu has potential to become an interesting ship

Personally I have never thought of Hurkus on the LHD. It is not a doubt, but surprise. Having a turboprop plane from an LHD sounds a bit weird, it's like a giant step back to WW2

I don't understand what you are trying to tell, be more clear.

Agree but some signals are there. Hurkus II is not for nothing being developed with composite body and navalized. And there you have Murat Özpala tweeting they are seriously trying to make the Hurkus take off from 200m with ski-jump

While I argued to myself Hurkus on LHD is absurd, things are slowly moving into that direction. First Murat Özpala's tweet, now Ibrahim Sünnetçi Hürkus II and Hürjet for the navy????

Sometimes I fail to find words for the stupidities in my country, will there be some who will call this "kader" too?

Even if the Hurkus 2 was made armed, than still I fail to see the plus of it on an LHD. Maybe the trainer could function as a trainer to train crews for the double engine Hurjet 2 (carrier capable, if ever such thing is to be build), anyway even that sounds absurd

Armenia goes from trench war to bunker war. We have to supply our Azeri brothers some bunker busters

Turn rate is almost of no importance, todays fighters work on see but do not be seen (stealth) and they shoot their missile from beyond visual range

Hurkus 2 could surprise us nicely if it had a Turkish turboprop.

There are no guarantees but both the GE F404 and GE F110 engines do not have property rights anymore (meaning any country who can could reverse engineer them at will). Likely hood that there will be no hinder in deliveries is high. So for the US it is not high sensible tech anymore to expect...

Signing a MOU does not really mean something, who knows something can happen and they can decide for urgent purchase. Tempest is to be ready when? 2040? Build the jet, proof it on the battlefield and it will sell like hot cake, no MOU can stop that

That's a dangerous assasment to make based on what you see. At IDEX you just see a mockup, the real version can differ (we know it from our own mockup's)
