Everything is possible in life, but i'm of the same opinion tbh. At the end of his tweet, he says "we'll deal with all this after May 14." Looks like a bluff. Funny thing is Erdoğan already did all the stuff he says KK did in the past, but such is life. KK's probably the cleanest political...

I believe he was talking about a fake Ahaber did of him to say "oh look those tapes of Erdoğan are fake, anyone can do it". Actual tapes are very much real, just illegally gathered. "Operasyon var, sıfırla oğlum!" Can't believe it's been 10 years.

Question. Would Turkey join OPEC if it became a major exporter of oil?

I think a major reason is the backramp. Backramp is awesome.

I think this is still T925. That would make OGM the launch customer of T925.

The pardons are political in nature. There are about 12-13 retired generals all above 80 in prison right now. One died of heart attack last year. No one gives a damn about them. It's never been a health issue. So was this guy. There's no special law for Öcalan, he's a criminal like any other...

We're here talking only about what the navy needs, while the T70 program is set to complete at about 40 airframes, less than half of what the force needs unless US Congress extends the license. We need general purpose helis, asap.

That's a roof knocker. Where's the big boy to follow up :(

That's some James Bond level stuff. I wonder, if it will be air launched or via a catapult...

He was the leader of military wing of Hizbullah and was charged with 3 counts of torture and murder, while army generals and admirals are still inside. How nice. Friendship ended with ulusalcılar, now hizbullah is my best friend.

As tankers are low number projects and the costs can balloon up pretty easily, especially in certification, I don't think Turkey will go about developing its own tanker to replace the KC-135s. Producing the Cobham underwing pods ourselves tho, that would be a lovely addition I think. As KC-46...

This is good news! "The TULGAR Helmet Integrated Imaging System developed by ASELSAN will be used not only in KAAN but also in F-16 ÖZGÜR aircraft."

A400's can't refuel our F-16s. They can carry drogue pods under their wings allowing other A400's to refuel and aircraft from other countries. A400s have this capability, but I haven't seen it tried by HvKK, only other users. A400s themselves can also be only refueled by tankers with drogue...

Really interesting that even with all the advancements, Turkey's oil production still has not caught up to 90s levels where it was close to 100k barrels a year. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Historical-crude-oil-production-of-Turkey-between-1950-2014_fig2_283846640

Would love to see it looking not so clean, with antennas sticking out from every surface imaginable :(, I think we can safely say production variants will have standard receptacle for booms. Old art also feature it.

"The first 20 KAAN MMU/TF-X Aircraft will be delivered to HvKK in 2028 in Block 10 configuration and with the GE product F110-GE-129E TF Engine......" Judging by the wording, looks like even if TEI gets the license to build F110-129Es in house or not, first 20 will still be powered by the GE...

Tried looking up but came up empty handed. What does this retrofit entail? Defence Turk piece regarding the retrofit of the 2nd plane mentions after the 2nd plane, 7 more would be retrofitted; but not 10, the total number we have. Did the 10th plane leave Spain with newer "batch", not needing a...

Is the Turkish engine mentioned above that Kaan will be delivered to HvKK with in 2030, a "GE T110" built in Ankara? I think it might be.

First of all, that is a horrible example, second, no, you did not show anything to support that claim. Everything you have said is based on hearsay and non supported allegations but your words are razor sharp. Your arguments don't fit your what you are able to showcase. Noone suggests we should...

Forget everything about its looks, just think about that MTOW and 24 ATGMs. Forget Apache, this is the real tank killer. It is a monster.
