First time I'm hearing about it. I do know that the F-35 will be equipped with onboard AI to control drones that can be used to provide combat support to the F-35 and regulate sensors but I am not aware that the F-35 will be able to fly using AI. I know the Air Force conducted virtual dogfights...

How nice. Every time I think there's a chance for Armenia to actually start acting normally again, they prove that no, we didn't kick their ass hard enough.

I don't get the exports defense. More exports is technically good but Turkey is exporting more because everything is so cheap not because the country is actually manufacturing much better quality products. That's even worse than low exports because it means that if the lira starts rising but the...

Haven't there already been scandals like this a decade or so ago? I thought it was an open secret that AKP-affiliated organizations put their people in high places in state institutions. Nothing's been done so far.

Yeah, I used to think it was just Erdogan being stupid and firing people because they were going against his ideas but the consistency with which people are getting fired JUST as the lira is showing SOME promise of stability and recovery, it's way too suspicious.

US allows for dual-citizenship for government officials. Israel doesn't. There is a fair bit of people who are high-up in Israeli politics that were born in and lived as Americans before coming to Israel. Difference is, they had to ditch their American citizenship to get those positions. Israel...

Your opposition parties are increasingly looking like Azerbaijan's opposition parties. That's not a good thing BTW.

Iran is upset because Azerbaijan freeing around 90% of Karabakh means that Iran's black market economy, particularly smuggling, is going to take a huge hit (we've caught dozens of Iranian drug smugglers on the border since the war). They are even opposed to any Azerbaijan/Armenia or...

This is going to be another 2016 in the lead-up to the 2023 election, isn't it? Sometimes I understand why French people beheaded Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.

A few of the members here have a peculiar obsession with Israel as the secret master of everything in the Middle-East and the master of the US.

Congratulations to Bangladesh. Nuclear power really is the future, boggles the mind why so many greens screech about clean power but always propose insanely inefficient half-way measures like solar and wind as the ultimate solution and go ballistic at the mention of the n-word.

"It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." Seems oddly relevant to the situation the TAF is right now. Sometimes, what you need is a bit of rebel spirit and confidence. Within limits, of course, but I think Turkey has some room to work with here.

As Nein mentioned, the main advantage of bullpups is in close combat situations as their lighter frame and shorter length allows for quicker and steadier aim. I think bullpups may completely replace SMGs as time goes on since less recoil means they can be more accurately fired on-the-go but...

So Iran has started playing their proxy game in Azerbaijan now. Fortunately, one of the few things our government is really good at is flushing out foreign agitators. Iran has tried this strategy before, apparently they haven't learned a thing. Or maybe they are just a one-trick pony.

That's true for pretty much any foreign technology. They all have backdoors and limitations on usage. Even Turkey, I'm pretty sure, doesn't give out TB2s without guarantees that they won't be used against Turkey itself. It's also a poor argument because then pro-US commenters can simply say...

Not necessarily, they get experience overseas and then you could get them back with some tempting incentives for career progression. Of course it would be a lot better if Turkey's educational institutions and work opportunities were good enough not to require the nation's best and brightest to...

What's Hezbollah going to do? Accidentally blow up a quarter of Beirut again because they forgot where they were storing explosives? And be sure to send double the forces if invading Azerbaijan. Gonna need to make up for 50% of your army getting hit by friendly fire before you even cross the Araz.

Pretty much no one likes Simonyan in Russia except the biggest government bootlickers. She's considered a clown. You know, I get the sentiment but I still have an issue with this. We are Azerbaijanis. We are a majority Turkic people of the Oghuz branch (but it's not just Turkic people, we have...

Elcibey was an idiot of the highest caliber but Iran has made hostile movements towards Azerbaijan all on its own as well. In fact, one of the reasons why Azerbaijan got friendly with Israel was because Iran became a mutually hostile neighbor. And I actually wish nothing but the best for the...

Because Israel has an agreement with the US that they HAVE to buy American-made weapons in order to keep cash flowing into the US. People who talk about America being under the thumb of Israel or whatever ignore that a) the US doesn't just provide foreign aid to Israel but many other countries...
