Good job. The Turkish navy seems to be completely left unrivaled in the Black Sea. I hope that the current status of the straits regime will remain in place until the 8 İstif class finishes construction. In this process, it is important that the Russian Black Sea fleet cannot transfer from...

Hi Bro, sorry if you have already posted about this, but let me ask a question: Exactly what is the total order book size of the final assembly line at Warton UK in 2025-2030, assuming unblocking for KSA and including orders from consortium countries? Also, is there any up-to-date data on...

What we really need now is for KAAN to make its first flight and re-enter the international aviation agenda. At the same time, I wish TAI-Aselsan would conduct some social media activities with the progress of the Özgür program. There is a timidity in the Turkish public opinion that I find hard...

@IC3M@N FX bro, the examples of Taiwan and Korea are closer to the examples of the Turkish air force during the cold war. I mean, both the NATO nuclear arsenal was deployed in TR and special assistance was provided by the US in terms of technical capabilities such as high-altitude long-range...

It is necessary to discuss not the number of aircraft, but the fleet size, organization and combat structure of the air force. It is a fact that the fleet structure has undergone significant changes due to the long delay of the JSF project and some squadrons have been inactivated. Of course...

During the interview, Nuland also said a few things about our recently production increasing of 155mm ammunition types, and mentioned their supply to Ukraine. We have recently reached the level we want in this area, I hope they will not rely on us for all of Ukraine's 155mm needs.

6-7 squadrons of Hürjet F-Xs, equipped with possible maximum common avionics infrastructure with the MMU, could even be capable of intercepting the air power of all countries other than Israel, Russia and Greece in all our border regions. There is a very simple thing we need to do in the variant...

Let me play devil's advocate: Putin will announce at his press conference in Turkiye (Putin-RTE leaders summit in February) that they are ready for the delivery of a new S-400 battery, and he will say a few vague things that could lead to speculation about the possible sale of the Izdeliye 30.

Even during the heaviest embargo period in history, we have an air force that was able to maintain Delta Daggers, which were developed entirely to intercept Soviet nuclear bombers, with zero spare parts. In terms of sustainment, they were probably the F-35s of the period. Now, our economy and...

Personally, if we are talking about buying F-35s at an indefinite date without full normalization, including the pkk ypg issue and F-35 industry involvement, I would prefer to buy EF backed by additional agreements to secure the engine development schedule for KAAN. I have the feeling that they...

If the US had held the balance of power as it did 20 years ago, it probably would have struck Tehran last morning. Not only is the US engaged in a bitter internal struggle over domestic political dynamics, but this struggle coincides with a period in which the US is losing control and drifting...

If there are security problems, necessary measures will be taken. You don't need to go all the way to Azerbaijan, if you go back a few years ago, you will see that the real security problems are internal. Azerbaijan must be supported militarily under all circumstances. From my point of view...

Unless there is a full return to the program, including industrial participation, and without negotiations on issues such as the PKK-YPG, the arming of Greece, I am not sure what it would mean to dispose of the S400s 'the way the US wants' and start F-35 talks with uncertainty. Or, if the issue...

The name Victoria Nuland should be underlined first. It is important to know who this woman, her husband, and her family are. They are probably the most dangerous people in the US foreign service, and probably the mentors of all the things that have caused Turkiye so much trouble... When...

The Czech Republic government signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) today making official its intent to procure 24 Lockheed Martin 5th Generation F-35 Lightning II aircraft. Through the U.S. government Foreign Military Sale, the Czech Air Force will receive its first aircraft in 2031...

The production line being set up for KAAN has been planned according to the capacity to rollout two aircraft per month starting from 2029. The main plan is 24 per year, but it was stated directly by the TAI GM that there is a plan to exceed this in case of external demand. In the 2030s...

The distinction between Turkic and Turkish is a terminology coined in foreign literature to identify the Turks living in Turkiye and the Turks of the Caspian and Asian regions as distinct nations, mostly originating from Russian Turkologists. When Turkic people is used, it is possible to create...

While I completely agree, I wish that we will soon get rid of this made-up terminology that we use as 'Azerbaijanis'. There is no such thing as Azerbaijanis, Azerbaijan is a geographical characterization formed from the combination of two words, and Azerbaijani actually means Khazarian. One of...

This issue of delays is also, in my opinion, a very relative area of discussion. Depending on how we look at it, it can be defined as a major failure or within acceptable limits. Judging by the current procurement plans of the Air Force, we are preparing for many possibilities. Can a few months...
