An estimated 13 to 15 million Kurds live in Turkey, and if 6 million of them vote for the HDP, as you say, that can hardly be all of them. To my knowledge, in 2023, around 4.8 million people nationwide voted for the HDP. Regardless of how one assesses or classifies the HDP politically, whether...

When will they finally present the next prototype? It can't be rocket science. Almost a year has passed now; they need to get a move on. We need 50-60x Ugraded F-16 Özgur II, 24x Eurofighter and 10x TAI KAAN & Kizilelma + Anka 3 Aircraft (Total 30) by 2029/30 to send a signal to the outside...

Because these are minorities... Minorities usually behave this way; this is not a new anomaly in the political history of mankind. The least represented in a country shout the loudest. Furthermore, the Jews (Druze) are not exactly high on the popularity scale when it comes to choosing their...

I am of Turkish-Kurdish origin and am familiar with the nuances. There are three Kurdish branches Kurmanci -> Sunni Kurds, the vast majority of Kurds in the heartland, most of whom are related or related by marriage to Turks (the largest group) in the central south-east of Turkey, some of whom...

This is nothing new. Half of the PKK and YPG are almost all Armenians, and the other half are Druze and misguided ultra-left communist Kurds from Syria, Iraq, Iran and the farthest corners of Turkey. Very few of these ultra-left communists are Sunni Kurds maybe under 3-5%, i mean the Kurmanci...

A modern state can only wage war seriously if it possesses a deep and sustainable defense-industrial base. What matters is not a handful of high-tech systems, but the ability to produce ammunition, spare parts, and weapon systems in large quantities and over the long term. This is precisely what...

What nonsense... Greece and Cyprus do not have the ammunition capacity or manpower for a war. Israel cannot supply Greece and Cyprus with material and wage war against Turkey at the same time. USA (Focus China) and Europe (Focus Russia) will not tolerate a war within NATO, regardless of whether...

The key issue is not the platform, but operational sovereignty. Ultimately, it does not matter whether the aircraft originally comes from the United States or Europe – what matters is who controls the software, data links, mission profiles, threat libraries and electronic warfare. This is...

The radar antenna will likely adopt a more rectangular geometry. This results in a horizontally slimmer but wider antenna design. The trade-off may be a slightly reduced downward field of view, but this is compensated by a larger horizontal aperture and improved radar performance. Ultimately, it...

I did not use AI. Depending on the source and version (e.g. PAC-2 GEM), PAC-2 -> PAC-3 MSE missiles have a range of between 70 -> 100+ and more kilometres. The range of the Patriot PAC-3 system varies depending on the type of missile and target, but is typically around 68 km for general air...

SİPER should be understood as a block-based air and missile defense family, with performance roughly comparable as follows: SİPER Block 1 operates in the performance range between PATRIOT PAC-2 (GEM-T) and the early PAC-3 variants. Its primary role is the interception of aircraft, cruise...

All Greek airspace is closed, how embarrassing, apparently they have communication problems. https://www.focus.de/panorama/welt/luftraum-ueber-griechenland-komplett-gesperrt_049eb894-af16-42e9-a119-23c1bf2f2ba3.html...

Is it possible to continuously track or "lock onto" a large, stationary target (e.g. bases, ports or large ships) over distances of 200+ km or more without a laser designator in order to guide even low-cost intelligence ammunition precisely to the target – even under heavy jamming? The...

I know that the PKK/YPG and ISIS are useful idiots for the West; they always have been. Divide and rule, control the ethnic groups and pit them against each other. We also have our useful idiots, Hamas, as a tool against Israel. The point is that the PKK/YPG does not have the infrastructure and...

What strikes me most about the current situation is that there is a lack of solid, publicly verifiable evidence, and at the same time, the prevailing explanation only makes limited sense. The PKK/YPG and DEM-affiliated structures are now clearly more backed into a corner than they are capable...

Not only that, Turkey has created a military-industrial complex that is now largely self-sustaining. With the new defence and security complex in Ankara – "the Turkish Pentagon" – an institutional and industrial interdependence has emerged that functions independently of short-term political...

A temporary deployment of 8–10 TB2s for around two weeks in the Black Sea would enable high coverage density in order to analyse patterns, response times and deployment profiles. Should the situation stabilise, the deployment can then be reduced in a controlled manner to 4–6 platforms without...

Some of the news is inconsistent; to my knowledge, there is no official CFT for the Eurofighter.

When viewed in this light, it even has a tangible advantage: the platform can participate in NATO operations without any major concerns and land in friendly NATO countries without having to constantly worry about industrial espionage. For the Turkish armed forces, 30–40 aircraft should be...
