@Isa Khan any source please?

That is very interesting view point. And to some extent I agree with it. But as far as i understand it, one of the way Turkish economy navigates through massive export-import deficit (projected $90 billions this year if Wiki numbers were to be believed) is by 45-50 billions foreign tourism money...

The issue is not about technical solution only. You simply cannot modify US platforms outside the contract limits. Also, as far as I understood the UBAS Project, it maybe able to fire Air to ground weapons and WVR missiles but it won't be able to utilise the full potential of Gokdogan as it...

Yes there is no stepping up in the value chain when it comes to Garments, but that does not means, we will abondan. It makes tons of money and create large job opertunity for lower income families. (Specially women, as they made up 58% of the employees in the garment sector. Which in itself...

At least the guy got good speeches.

Nope.

@TheInsider I was wondering if Aselsan has something like that. (Man portable precision targeting system for FO)

TAI need to develop dual use light rotary wing platforms like bell 407 series and Airbus H145. (Costing 3-7 millions per aircraft) Which would be more suitable for the needs of developing countries like BD. Otherwise, I don’t think we could afford T925 (costing 25-30 millions each) in numbers.

If you don't have preexisting beef with USA, it is a very good idea for small countries to get under US wings. And Romania is already a strategic frontier for USA as they host the US AEGIS ASHORE ICBM interceptors.

@Flextape I wanted to know more about FO in our Artillery. I know that traditionally FOs uses manual map grid coordinates to direct fires. But do our FOs have laser range finders and GPS devices to make fire more accurate? Or do they still uses only a MAP and a Binocular? I am asking because...

Kurds are the enemy of Turkish Republic??🤔

@Anmdt Is there any estimate how much each I class is costing for Turkish Navy?

Your undiplomatic translation could be incorrect.

No, the second one below is the AIR radar.

Afaik, ERIS has instrumented range of 600km. (Something like that was reported few years ago) Maybe @Anmdt or @TheInsider could tell us more.

ERIS doesn't have 800km range.

The manufacturing cost of Eurofighter is around 100 millions. But guess how much is the export cost with total package? And KAAN is a the largest 5th gen twin engine platform. It would be very normal if they sell each unit for 200 millions with full package. (Logistics, spare parts, weapon...

I think Türkiye should not be under any illusion that, oh look, how fast we are progressing on KAAN, yet how long it takes for the Europeans/Americans to develop next gen platforms. It is not very wise to underestimate your competitors in general. But more importantly, this analogy of 20-30...

Well said bro! I envy your ability say things 'undiplomatically' that needs to be said.😀

We should keep in mind, today international relations between Modern Nation States (to put it mildly) are very complicated. And these relations are based on political, economic and security interests and long term calculations. They are certainly not a product of reactionary emotions running...
