I think I will just break down Russian and U.S. engine technology and the funny part is I think it might be beneficial for the TFX thread because excluding the UK and US, Russia might be a possible dark horse for being Turkey's 3rd option and based on current politics I have seen with Turkey I...

Glad you asked. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/09/07/ukraine-kherson-offensive-casualties-ammunition/ “We lost five people for every one they did,” said Ihor, a 30-year-old platoon commander who injured his back when the tank he was riding in crashed into a ditch. Ihor had no...

if anyone states Russian losses are bad than by default ukrainian losses are far worse. Grabbing kherson and now being prepared to evacuate it makes me say so much for the media hype of trying to capture it from the russians in the 1st place to only make them grab it again. That losing ratio of...

I am still unclear on the timeframes of when the F-119 was designed but we know when the F-22 1st flew.

Where are you pulling 20 years? Pratt and Whitney received a contract in 1970 to make the engines for the F-15 and the F-15 flew like in 1972.

Fighting in the winter, isnt that like Russia's specialty, you can go ask Napoleon and Hitler. Ukrainians don't seem to have much heating hope they will be fine these coming weeks according to the weather forecast. Atleast Turks don't want to be stupid like euros to heat their houses. Any proof...

All Turkey needs is a low bypass ratio engine which should be enough to cover its territory and keep the super cruise speeds, no need to be on the same engine level to get fancy 3 stream cycle engines like the other 2 countries. If they want more territory to cover in operations outside their...

OK, let me get this straight the frontal value was the only thing that was measured for the F-22 giving a value of .0001m2 the F-35 was given a .001m2, then some air force general said the F-35 is stealthier than the F-22 so there are a lot of contradictions on claims. The Kizelelma is smaller...

What I find baffling is the speed of the drone project where Erdogan says production 2023, has there been any Turkish projects that has been delayed before?(knock on wood it won't happen to this project). not as negative criticism but the timeframe is just insanely fast and I cannot be the only...

Congrats to Turkey, I had some hope the U.S. would still be advanced in drones, but they scrapped the B-21 drone concept 4 months ago making it only manned.

I guarantee you some "western experts" are going to criticize the drone's stealth because of muh canards.

having a lot of optimism is not the same as the actual results, A Ukrainian in early September stated they lost 5 of them for 1 Russian soldier and another interviewed stated if they fired 3 mortars 20 got fired back in return than a week or 2 ago I see a online video of a Ukrainian tanker...

its going to be hard influencing anyone here. Turkey's empire had beef with Russia's, technically speaking parts of Ukraine use to be part of the ottoman empire and turks are as big nationalists as poles are about their old territories in Ukraine and tartars are turkic people as well in parts of...

What the PKK is to Turkey is what Azov is to Russia, to each his own is all I have to say. I just like Turkey's military technology and current political stance which is why I want them to be closer partners with Russia, despite the negative sentiment from most users here on this thread. Turkey...

Germany gives patriots to poland. Poland says give it to Ukraine. Germany NOOO YOU CANT DO THAT, ONLY NATO MEMBERS. Poland already had Patriots close to ukraine and I recall they have the good shit with GaN AESA radars. Man even I am starting to feel bad for Ukraine having these kind of people...

Russia is the spine of Eurasia and China requires a friendly Russa at her back to give her the strategic defense in depth on the World Island that she otherwise lacks. Russia has energy and raw materials in abundance, and China needs these things. Chna is faced with an increasingly hostile...

U.S. Base got hit in Iraq, Well atleast Turkey didnt hit a fellow NATO ally.:whistle:

I think Turkish politics is as complicated as Dr.Oz choosing to be Republican. -Turkey i think doesnt get along with iran or syria, suddenly Russia opens their airspace for them along with iranians and syrians being happy they are taking care of the kurds. -Saudi Arabia doesnt get along with...
