I don’t know how dependable this guy is. But according to this YouTube message he has put on the web, there are extensive embargoes on Turkey implemented by US and even Italy on various naval projects. Hence the delay on the I class frigate. Mainly ESSM block 2, MK41 VLS system and RAM block 2...

I agree. Tranche 1 is too old in tooth now. Would be too difficult and long to upgrade. A group of 38 T4‘s is on order by German Airforce. Delivery time starts in 5 years. We do not have time to wait that long really. But at the same time used old tech planes are not really that great ; unless...

If you are buying 40-60 planes they will! But will take time. It was easy with Gokdogan/amraam , Bozdogan /Aim9x, Jdam/ HGK etc etc . They were more or less direct swap of US tech to Turkish tech. European stuff may not be that easy to integrate in to.

How is that going to help? Germans are embargoing all military equipment being sold to Turkey if it can be used in Northern Syria. They are not selling it to Turkey . That is the problem.

Good question! 1. Germans may decide British are circumventing their decision to embargo Turkey. And take legal action against British Army. 2. If British Army asks say a local company to alter and change the engine so that it becomes made in UK. Then there will be no problem. (This is like...

MTU is owned by Rolls Royce. But is in Germany. Since production site is in Germany and MTU is a German company (owned by Rolls Royce) , German laws take precedence. If German Government says NO to a sale , they have to abide by it. Rolls Royce is a British owned International Conglomerate...

Yes they are used in Anka and Aksungur. But Cirit missile was developed for a number of uses. It was developed to be used from Atak t-129 as well. And managed to hit close to 10 km target. It is specified to be effective in 8km. It has a tri mode (anti personnel, anti armour and incendiary). It...

RAM block 2 has an effective range of 15km and an altitude of 8 km. Gokdenlz range is 4 km. RAM block2 can engage helicopters and low flying (8km) air vehicles as well as missiles. So they actually complement each other. They are not very big systems. In other words do not take too much space...
