You are the most beautiful thing in the world. Designed, developed and built in Turkey.

Looks like you guys waited for me to deliver the news! Finally after years of delay, first T625 was officially, fully delivered to gendarme. 4 prototypes completed 1500 flight hours of tests to date. Starting from 2025, "two additional GÖKBEYs will be delivered to the Gendarmerie, seven to...

This is true, but as I've also previously mentioned in the air force threat, starting from '88, Turkish air force began a huge modernization effort with 4th gen jets. In 99 for Yugoslavia War, we had the only air force that was capable of night time ground strike operations with Paveways and...

We've never had air superiority over Israel in the region. They had 60 F-15s in 90s when we were still running F-104s.

And now in English, surprisingly.

We waited so long for this.

Su-25 is somewhere between outdated to obsolete. Merhale-1 mod only added UBAS. Merhale-2 mod will include avionics upgrades which is still some years away and Su-25 is an aircraft TAI, Aselsan and Roketsan knows pretty intimately. Eurofighter is not outdated, in fact it's more modern that...

They can easily argue UN article 51. Both Syria and Iraq were used as launching points for strikes against Israel. And AFAIK, they are still de jure at war with Syria.

I think SACLOS ATGMs like wire guided TOW can still have a place in the modern jammer/dazzler heavy battlefield. But, it presents too much of a threat to the operator. It can still work great in near peer conflict, and it's cheaper to build too.

I'd hope to think they've learned their lesson and don't overpromise now. Nigerian T129 sale went swimmingly, even though AH-1Z was a direct competitor, even if they opted to buy both in the end. Only possible customer that could have a problem with US engines is Azerbaijan.

Yup. They probably still use old models, including the mockup. Doesn't mean anything, we know TAI is usually hit&miss when it comes to models and mockups and they shouldn't be taken as gospel.

This is a pretty big score. Finally some good news.

Seems we were both right. Needle turns to Syria/Russia for now.

Did it, really? Nothing or noone of value was hit. Nothing.

We don't have enough munitions for that. I sadly doubt a ground op will come from this. 10 asayish teenagers dead, 30 low level leaders dead after a day of bombing, what does it matter, nothing. What does it achieve, nothing.

That much was certain. I'm more interested whether they are Iraqi or Syrian trained and whether they went to Tal Rıfat or Manbij when crossing or Qamishlo.

That's not terrorism, it's proxy wars. This is terrorism.

Both attackers already neutralized. - US & Co are not in the terrorism business. They can use any and all kinds of conventional means to send messages to us. Hell, sometimes they just send a letter and tell us to "not be stupid" and get the desired effect. They don't need to resort to terrorism.

Regardless there will be increased checks for the timebeing, even if to say they are taking it seriously, which will lead to more downtime on all projects.

There were no M4s used, and that doesn't mean anything even if they did.
