Having 5000 crap tanks is worthless, Armenians could not use their tanks (they served as target practice for TB2)

Currently no, but I hope TAI is smart enough to make the Hurjet available in 2 engine choices (like F16 has choice between GE and P&W engine). If Hurjet is also available with EJ200 it would be able to sell it to countries where the US blocks the US engine

Smaller diameter engine is usually not that big problem and can be made fit Hurjet can very well use the EJ200 if chosen, the main difference is in the air intakes that need to be adjusted for the type of engine (but even that may not be necessary as the pressure and bypass ratio's of both...

Damn! Why? Now I have to re-schedule my summer vacation

Tech and STANAG wise we agree completely bro. But again, will she have any chance against BMC

Automatically comes to mind, how much chance would it have against BMC? Not technologically / protection wise meant

This was the original production scheme, T1, T2 and T3 phases I am inclined to say with so much fuck up with this Arjun Altay tank to skip T1 and T2 and directly go for T3 with the Roketsan turret

Wasn't BMC supposed to make the whole powertrain?

What a garbage program the Altay tank has become. It's one of SSB's shame projects

Did I miss something? Did the US decide not to give F16's?

I can't imagine, firstly it gets a complete new turret, whether you place that turret on the M60 or take for instance Tulpar or Kaplan won't make the price difference. The tank itself will get new FCS, new engine (1200hp is the aim) and if you place a new engine you automatically have to...

Looking from another perspective how do you guys look at upgrading the M60? I am not even speaking about the dumb item of looking for 1200hp engines from England. Take the M60 which is how many years old, 40, 50? How much sense does it make to turn this old tank into this?: It will still be...

Well we get the opportunity to see how western tanks will fare. All we have to do is watch closely and learn, it will be very educative

IMHO we should not invest much in tanks anymore, upgrade a hundred M60, upgrade 200 Leo 2A4 and produce 150 Altay (not more) The tank is already for some time not the strong weapon it has been in WW2. Back than there were not that many dangers for a tank, and it was a difficult to stop weapon...

Bro any info on which shipyard STM will use for the STM500 mini subs? I thought the Izmir alaybey shipyard was prepared for submarines, no?

Well, there is one constant. From US to Europe everyone is openly and secretly embargoing Turkiye. A strong Turkiye is for none of them in their interest. France is already crying about Africa. Turkiye arming all the countries that the west try to keep down is absolutely not in their interest

Naval operational needs do not fall from the sky. Pretending that Type-23's are suddenly urgent need is just silly. We have enough capacity to build ships, we are building ships for Pakistan, Ukraine but do not have room to build ships for our own navy? Bogus. Yes we did have delays due to...

1) Do you know what ruined the Turkish defense industry in the 50'ties when entering Nato? Free materials (nothing is for free, just a means to destroy your defense industry and enslave you) 2) The ships have to be modernized to fit Turkish doctrine, Genesis advent combat management upgrade at...

“Once they are delivered, the upgrades and the modernisation of command and control systems would take at least 18 months to two years,” the source added. I can't imagine that our navy is even considering this crap. Supose taking into service: 6 - 12 months command and control system: 18 - 24...

Yes but the IP rights of volvo engine which is a version of the F404 belongs to Sweden
