Worse is the canal will waste the few sweet water lakes to the west of Istanbul and force Istanbul to make drinking water from desalination plants

True they indeed did start design of the aircraft carrier very recently but the navy is wishing an aircraft carrier already since 2000 (25 years ago) Our technology is just recently maturing (able to build radars, VLS systems, AD missiles etc. etc.). Now all ingredients are there it makes...

Because it makes sense? When you have an aircraft carrier, you need a battle group around it. Key parts of that battle group = TF-2000 and Milden Our other ships are more for littoral combat

Well TAI uses 3D printing just because the US is not selling the press for such titanium bulkheads, To speed up production several printers have to be acquired

Not quite, these are ships that the navy doesn't want. It's not that the US gives away active ships. In fact the engine condition is such that even Griks reject them, go figure

Could be, there was a talk about a bigger Akinci, in general this illustration looks like the Akinci with a changed wing. It can be an illustration distortion but it could also represent the bigger Akinci

Hopefully, this will not turn into another Altay tank issue, although if we still trust Germany and make such purchases after everything that has happened, we deserve it.

A) to diversify the fleet in order to have transition to Kaan????? Reverse engineering a 4th gen while we design a 5th gen? Sorry bro, but that makes no sense at all. B) ACCESS to western technology? Than why is our goal to get independent? Very contradicting arguments bro. Case is that...

Yes, nobody argues this. But what has it to do with buying Typhoon?

That's a strange contradiction than, to get more independent we move to purchase foreign aircraft to make ourselves more dependent? And what table to sit at? That is also not completely correct, the development system of Dassault was one of the options. There are several design software...

What is the most funny part is that I hear a lot of arguments like we need the Eurofighter to counter Rafale. Just LOL! So we gonna purchase an aircraft to use it against and EU country with MBDA missiles etc.? What kind of Einstein does it take to come to such a solution? That is virtually...

Good you make an analogy with an example Let me counter with a counter analogy, suppose we had purchased American Reaper drones. They are bigger, faster, Americans are virtually the creator of software. Would it have served us better than TB2? If you do not own the tech you can purchase a...

Nice question, I think it is maybe even the opposite and Hurjet can be even more valuable than an F16 or Eurofighter. We can use the Hurjet in combination with Kizilelma. Having a "loyal winman concept" with a 4th gen. light fighter will make us unique. Will give much much more deterence (if...

Armed version is highly unlikely while EASA certification of the trainer version still continues. I hope this guy (Tayfun Erdil) is right but first see than believe

Before shouting betrayel we have some questions to ask: A) Did Italy ever give Turkiye a promise, regarding Libya B) Does having relations with Italy automatically mean Italy will stop pursuing her own interests? C) Did we betray Italy by standing on the opposite side? What I mean to say...

I could add one more: Sold F35's to Turkiye without delivering

Yes, sounds likely. Though TF-35k is officially not from TEI but TRmotor, that's why my hope would be TF-20000

TEI was hinting on a surprise for IDEF 2025 but that can be TF10000. Hopefully they also work on a TF20000 (just my personal hope, no anything substantial)

Beyond doubt they've shot down one of our drones, Anka I believe

We can quickly make up when we receive our drones: Akinci, ANKA3, ANKA4, Kizilelma With our drone force we have a strike power that our country has never witnessed (peak power in strike). We have a weapons arsenal that we never ever had before We will have an air defense network as never ever...
