    Turkey wanted to but US refused to allocate funds to integrate it into the NATO network. There was also issues regarding tech transfer.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    That is hilarious. Putin put forward demands and Biden folded without the slightest resistance. Now there's no need for any invasions or threatening maneuvers. Poor Ukrainians.

    Established telecommunications can't just be established overnight. You buy that, you own an important part of country's infrastructure. These are actually far more important than defense companies, which are relatively easily replaceable.

    But I wasn't talking about global ranking covering everything. I was talking specifically about the engineering sector.

    Defense Minister calls on Britain, Canada and the U.S. to place soldiers on borders of Ukraine

    Britain actually did fairly well on the Western Front. It basically saved France in WW1 from being steamrolled in a few weeks and lead the combined arms operations during the Hundred Days offensive where the Germans were completely driven back. In WW2, aside from the initial early war defeats...

    Live Conflict Terrorist activities in Papua, Indonesia

    This is a fairly interesting thread. I wasn't aware there was so much terrorism in Papua and the internet isn't very helpful in getting a balanced perspective since it's all pretty much "Indonesia bad genocide slaughter oppression" for the first 50 pages of Google results. Like, OK, but I wanna...

    Defense Minister calls on Britain, Canada and the U.S. to place soldiers on borders of Ukraine

    We aren't trying to get Ukrainians to fight the Russians. If anything, it's Ukraine trying to drag everyone else in because Russia won't leave them the f**k alone. US land forces can wipe the floor with any other land force on the planet. Not even kidding, watch any footage of US operatives in...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    No. All Russians need to do is concentrate overwhelming power at one or several particular weak points and break through to achieve the desired effect. You don't need overwhelming numbers for that, just use your existing manpower well.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    No, that's not really guaranteed. Russian attack doctrine requires either complete subjugation of the opposition from Step 1 or else charging so far ahead past their front lines that they'll be forced to retreat their forces to cover their rear positions. It's a very delicate strategy and if...

    And by UN hub, they mean that Istanbul will become a dumping ground for every illegal migrant under the sun. Lovely, Istanbul is right on track to become just like Los Angeles.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Russian tank warfare involves a variant of blitzkrieg tactics where rapid forward advances are key (it has its weaknesses, which the Ukrainians exploited during the early years of the Donbas War), therefore relatively lightly armored vehicles that are more mobile make sense for them.

    Lol, America would annihilate Russia if we committed to a full-on war. Britain and the former Commonwealth states are no joke either.

    I think Altay will probably undergo a few more modifications to drop the weight before all is said and done. You don't really need to go over 62-63 tons in most cases. I am not blaming anyone and you need to stop jumping to AKP's defense at every perceived slight. Regardless of who was to blame...

    I am more curious as to how the Turkish government handled the fallout. Were there any apologies, attempts to find the culprits responsible for the bribery and punish them, offers to provide some tech transfers from Turkey in return that SK could be interested in (though I don't know what SK...
