    TR U.S. says potential F-16 sale to Turkey would serve U.S. interests, NATO - letter

    At this point we need to buy Eurofighters(with good deal) even if the F16 deal passes. US can't be trusted. Yes it will be expensive but it is also necessary.

    Mk13 also used for Harpoon missiles. It has 40 missile storage so adding 8 cell mk41 instead of Mk13 would reduce the ships harpoon capacity.

    Is there a posibility that we can replace non British parts in local production?

    I guess we are not solving our problem economicaly. If it is possible we should buy Eurofighter(later versions). In the meantime I hope our decision makers are considering developing a light fighter as well. Hurjet won't be enough and operating all MMU Airforce will be too expensive.

    I am gonna admit, when I first watched this my heart skiped a beat when Mr. Karakuş mentions that Phantoms structrual life could last till 2048 :D(Thinking that we are going to use them till that time)

    Aand another one. True. We also need to be able to install our own mission computer and have an access to Gripen's own mission computer.

    Valid points. We will need a stop gap plane. We can't trust a 5th gen plane development will meet the timelines. Eurofighter will be expansive as a stop gap(Also has the same problem with the Gripen regarding the multinational parts) and US is really dragging their feet for the F16's. Gripen...

    On paper yes but in reality there will be a couple of problems. How long do you think will it take Sweden to start problems with the spare parts? Gripen also has lot of parts coming from US, France, Germany etc. Will they provide them any time we need? We need to keep happy all of the...

    I guess we are doing that in orther to prevent some countries to getting any funny ideas. For over a year now we are showing that some old tactics in the Agean won't work anymore. Armies first duty is to act as a deterent and we are doing that. I don't think we are showing all of our...

    I believe Aselsan working on a turret. Nail Kurt from FNSS mentioned something like that when he is explaining the Kaplan project.(Mete Yarar did a video last year with him). They only provided the chasis to Indonesia due to Aselans turret wasn't ready at the time. So we can assume that it is...

    Yes but after that the narrative is changed. İbrahim Sünnetçi also suprised by this. Because apparently both of the information(powerpack integration is not going well and it is actually going well) have the same source. Is this either a misunderstanding or something is changed behind the...

    We can do that with either Tulpar or Kaplan to be honest and I think this would be more beneficial. (Considering marines also using M48 as well).

    So Altug is still alive. So we are waiting for Altug to be ready. I hope we are only waiting for Altug to give a chance for BMC to enter competition. Not for giving the project to BMC with a bogus competition.

    This happenee a lot unfortunately. Özden Örnek also fought very hard to make Milgem project uncancellable. Not just the ship, before that getting an approval for the Genesis took a lot of time. There are lot of factors in this. Corruption is being one but back then mindset of the decision...

    After seeing the pictures with installed engine, I can see why Baykar start working on the twin engine version. I guess they could fit two of them without much trouble.( At least they might have this conclusion) So two engined version will be with the Ukrainian engine and one engine version will...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    Actually not really. As far as i gathered, they basically jury rigged SU-27 to launch HARM missiles. I believe the SU-27 and HARM is not communicating. They pre-programming the missiles and using tablets to launch it to believed general location of the AA site. HARM's own trackers/radar do the...
