Russia sent evacuation orders for the families of the embassy personnel in Lithuania and Letonia. If Kaliningrad is attacked as a retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine Russia might invade those countries to reach the Kaliningrad.

Russian Federation Council, foreign relations committee deputy president Dzhabarov; The offer of the US and NATO is not acceptable Russia will prepare a proper answer in a few days. Other allies including China can join the consultations

The US sent a very soft response to Russia about Russian demands but that won't be useful. Russia's accept my demands attitude was only a gesture. Russia will invade Ukraine regardless of what is written in the official answer. BTW the US urged Russia not to disclose what is written in the...

I meant both. Sure I can give you some proof as if concrete proof for a top-secret kill switch can ever be found on the internet. https://www.wired.com/2008/06/the-pentagons-n/

We have an even better capacity. As I said important things are engineers, technicians, and blueprints. Their Soviet-era machinery for production is not that important.

Aselsan is conducting R&D on electron beam guns but we have a long way to go. Producing a small 3D printer will be possible today but that 3D printer is huge. https://www.defenceturk.net/aselsanin-elektron-tabancasi-gelistirme-projesinde-ilk-atesleme-basarili

No it is not.

The Turkish defense industry has better factories and production centers than Motor Sich in terms of modern machinery and modern production capabilities.

We need to develop a national compact 1500hp engine. We can use it on other platforms in the future. We can use it as a generator for a hybrid system. An engine family is a must for Türkiye.

F-35 is dangerous if the US wants your fighters to stay on the ground they will stay on the ground. At the moment there is little risk for Turkish F-16s in that regard.

Engineers, technicians, and blueprints are what really matter. Buildings and old soviet machinery are not important.

Türkiye also works on anti-missile missiles for fighters.

Those deals don't tell anything about the flyaway price. The total contract price changes a lot depending on what is included. 3 ground control stations might have 3 landing radars rather than one etc. There are dozens of items that can be customized to fit the customer's needs which will change...

Türkiye can also get workshare from the production and laying the pipes and earn a good chunk from that part of the deal. Anyway, we will hook Blacksea gas to the Turkish grid. Turkmen gas will also flow from Türkiye. We have Blacksea gas, Azerbaijani gas, Qatari gas, Turkmen gas, Russian gas...

This is how the US is losing great power competition we are being witnesses to history. Of course, none of those lobbies care what happens to the US and average US citizen. They only try to further their own interest against the interests of the US.

Subsonic and Supersonic Mius projects are running in parallel. We will see the first flight of Mius in 2023 and probably by 2025 Mius will achieve full operational capability. There is also a twin-engine Mius-C project but info about that is rather low and it probably has a different timeline...

We are trying to be super smart here with the Block 70 procurement and modernization offer. We are pushing the hand of the US. If the US side doesn't accept our offer or congress stops the deal we will have the moral upper hand. We did everything we could now we will implement our solution to...

SM-1, SM-2, ESSM, ESSM-2 has that capability. I don't know if Siper will have that ability but it should have. The engagement is similar to engaging airborne targets. If the missile has an active RF seeker you update the missile with target coordinates until its active RF seeker locks on the...

Naval air defense missiles can be used against surface targets in a secondary role. Air defense missiles are very fast and agile so stopping them is very hard.

Exactly. This is what I'm trying to say.
