    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Pakistan is in no shape or state to join TFX program economically. They will very likely to go with the Chinese option. Which would make sense given all of 4th gen fleet would become of chinese origin soon. ( Turkey is very unlikely to allow TFX integration with Chinese origin jets ) Except...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I don't think so. Turkey is not USA, nor it has the luxury to afford such policy. If Turkey try to imitate the same policy of US in security cooperation matters, then there is no point in buying Turkish weapon instead of US. ( At least with US, countries will have much bigger and powerful...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    There is also the matter of when TFX will be ready for export. I don't think it would be before 2034/35. TAI need to start delivery for TAF first. Foreign customers are second priority.

    Duh, only if it were that easy like you make it sound. You are overestimating US ability. I think @Nilgiri would be able to tell us more about that. ( in an appropriate thread or here )

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Us involvement in first gulf war and French involvement in Mali are for both countries own geopolitical and economic interest. It is no about wish. The reality is, in next 15/20 years the world will change drastically. In Asia, even without counting China, there are some countries with large...

    Bro! Let's not even bring Israel into the conversation. Didn’t you know that, 'they are the chosen people of god' Earth's laws doesn't apply to them.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Given the $80 million number per TF-23 I would assume including logistic, spare parts, training, and ammunition packages it would cost around 140/150. Right now I am feeling little depressed to think that, we will spend $3 billion for Eurofightet/rafale instead of this beautiful beast.

    Yes, in an ideal world we all want a valid international security architecture for small countries. I don't wanna sound too pessimistic, but to be honest, to achieve such goal it would take a long long journey For all of us. I have to disagree, in its current form UN is almost useless to...

    I think this is the best guess. With the stealth-compatible low-detectable LO[12] geometry mentioned in the figures, the absence of a cockpit canopy, the concealment of the air intake ducts, the radar antenna tilt precaution and the geometric precaution of the wing + canard attack / trailing...

    There is no expectation, I am just stating facts as neutral statement not to do moral judgment. What western alliances is doing for Ukraine, by and large they are doing it for their own security and geopolitical interests. And that is very natural, everybody does it. I am not asking for...

    I agree that, this conflict is different given the annexation and the territorial changes. That is exactly where rest of us would disagree. Where you see it as a breakdown of order and the growth of threat/risk for others small countries to be invaded in other part of the world if this Russian...

    I stated it as a genral rule. Not Specific to the current situation. Let me clarify it little further. For developing countries, we don't have to donate money to expand ourselves economically. Trying to take even verbal stance could jeopardize critical energy/food cooperation. Oh trust me, it...

    You still don’t get it? It is not about lacking decency, it is just otherwise ( without core interest alignment ) expending oneself economically or militarily in defence of someone else would not be worth it for the shake of your own well being. You are right. But it wouldn't be worth it for...

    There is nothing to be surprised of. Only those countries will care about my national interest whose interest are aligned with mine. It is simple as that. Simple lip service won't change anything for Ukrainians. Why then do it and jeopardize my own national interest for practically nothing...
