No ship is unsinkable, but there is a cost to sinking every flagship. And the staff mind has the potential to raise that cost to an unaffordable level. If money alone could build an army, the some*** countries around us would have become military superpowers by now. IMHO, for a similar ship of...

I have always found the illustrations that put 4 TF-2000s in 4 territorial waters very ridiculous. The mission of these destroyers is not in territorial waters, but to be the cornerstone of the Turkish navy's high seas doctrine. It's not about line defense, it's about forward areas dominance.

SNA fired a 21-rocket salute to commemorate the meaning and importance of the day

The cement factory, which was found to be in violation of the zoning law, was sealed by the TAF in the evening. (Last night a friend from our forum shared a comment from one of thedrive's 'anonymous experts' who seems to know everything, even though he doesn't know shit. Supposedly the air...

I have the expectation that the deficit in this area will be overcome in 12-15 years. The transformation of the automotive industry and current breakthrough in renewable energy & next generation energy storage technologies will indirectly play a role in this. In this regard, when we look at...

Mike is a staunchly pro-Israel man, but after these statements at HI he was largely excommunicated. Especially targeted by the trolls of the Armenian-Grek lobbies. He is actually very pragmatic and has a perspective based on US interests, without falling into the ongoing mental eclipse over the...

Turkiye is a huge market for petroleum refining products. Petkim General Manager Anar Mammadov has a very striking statement about this: "The market is growing by 4 percent every year. STAR Refinery meets 25 percent of Turkey's diesel demand. However, this is not enough. Because 8 Petkim more...

I think this is a typical thewire under-thread comment. Anyway, I can't say I'm not happy that we are giving this kind of impression. We have been saying similar things here for pages and pages, inconsistency between US institutions. I think from a reciprocity point of view we might even have...

Turkiye can replace its downed UAVs very quickly. But if Centcom's illegal economic activities in Syria are dried up, additional aid packages for continued support for the PKK will require the support of the entire US political establishment, including the House of Representatives. Exactly as...

I don't think they care about PKK donkeys. They are just cannon fodder, they support the US proxy's imposition of recruitment on the organization in the region it controls. What I think is really troubling here is that we are making moves that will destroy the economic viability of this...

The Turkish army shelled 16 areas in northern Syria, including 3 oil stations. It targeted Saeeda oil station in Qamishli countryside in northeastern Syria, as well as oil stations in Gerdahol village in al-Qahtaniya countryside and Alaqosa oil station in northern Chel Agha. Several power...

Lost terrorists and facilities struck in the last 48 hours may have cost the US more than 10 UAVs. A plane without a pilot on board. This is a war of attrition and I don't mind being given UAVs from time to time in return.

A UAV operation has begun, increasing the cost of the US to support its terrorist proxies in Syria. For now, the parties (TR and US) are warning each other but not directly confronting each other. The Ministry of National Defense has declared that the downed UAV does not belong to it. But, even...

Q: To what extent would Russia's recognition of the Turkish Republic of Cyprus - along with the states in its axis - affect the geopolitics of the eastern Mediterranean, and to what extent would it neutralize the isolation of the northern part of the island? I am not only talking about trade...

As my dear friend Heartbang said, I think Nutuk is a good starting point for understanding how Atatürk's character and thinking evolved. It will give you a reflection of his ideas on specific topics, and therefore a reference on exactly which topics you should go backwards through these points...

The maximum theoretical flight radius that Azerbaijan, Libya and Somalia could achieve if they become TB-3 operator countries:

As a side note, the example of the UK, globalization is forcing the whole of Europe into this structure. But I think it is not a unilateral mechanism, it works both ways. It inevitably strengthens European conservatism. As in the case of Poland: Basically, I think both examples serve the same...

26 Democratic Senators called on Menendez to resign. Menendez's political career, once elevated to presidential candidacy, ended in disgrace and disaster. Probably his Armenian wife will divorce him soon. I hope he didn't launder all the bribe money through his wife. lol

TF-10K will break new ground in Turkish engine engineering. It is truly a historic step, and we cannot emphasize its importance enough. (Imagine if only TR could design and produce its own natural gas cycle power plants and maintain their operational continuity with its own engineering within...

I just wanted to say that I was very surprised by these figures because I know a little bit about the cost of construction freight vessels, it is normal that there is an incomparable difference for various reasons, but despite this the figures you gave us for hull costs are above my previous...
