A meteor missile costs 2m $. Even if we buy 300 it makes 0.6 bn. We dont need any other munition. For that money we should have obtained the right to integrate our own munition. Even if we buy a whole plain in spare parts 40 * 120m € makes about 5bn €. So we have been screwed big time! As Öztürk...

Against Israel, Greece. And to invade Iran and even against Russia in a land war in Caucasus. I am dead serious.

I hope they make public some details of the deal otherwise this thing somehow leaves a bad taste. If we indeed have access to the code to probably also integrate Murad in the future, we should try to buy some more Tranche 3 second hand.

Is this stated somewhere officially?

I am not sure that 12 Qatar plus 12 Oman EFs will quickly close the shortfall. The Omani ones will need some upgrade, especially on the radars, which will take time. I am disappointed with Qatar that they are not offering us 24 planes. If the 20 new EFs are only coming in 2030, then we'll still...

Oman EFs have Captor-M which is a mechanical radar installed in Tranch 3A. We should aim for Qatari ones with Captor-E AESA, unless an upgrade of the radar is not costly. 24 Qatari EF plus 40 new EFs should be the bridging goal. Otherwise they wont give us flexibility to integrate our own stuff...

Our enemies indeed dont need any provocation to be our enemies :) But still, if we had continued with drills in East Med or escalated the rhetoric against Greece, Germany would probably not have approved EF sales to Turkey. And indeed US was supporting PKK all along but still F35s were almost on...

Turkey's enemies are acting now because we have provoked them unnecessarily. If we didn't say "one minute" to that country and didn't buy S400 we might have 80 F35 by now. And if we were clever enough, we would have modernized our F16 fleet by now as well. At the end of the day, if we aspire to...

Indeed, our early involvement in Libya, Syria, Somalie etc. did not bring any benefit to us. In Libya we were not strong enough to push back Russia and Egypt, in Somalia we are fighting with UAE. We should get involved in such places if we are strong enough and then push to the very end and not...

After the mistake during Arab Spring in Syria, now it is difficult not to get involved there. But I agree with you in a sense. We should have pushed for technological advancement, military independence, and trade relations with other countries. We should have never been vocal about neo...

Well, things are relative, Maybe if we had a capable administration in the last 20 years, it would now be way better. It is really a question of how much impact the league we are in having to achieve our goals. Are we able to impose our will in Mavi Vatan? How about Syria? So we are still...

I If you are weak and cannot protect the guy, no need to play the Godfather! He will find someone with the balls to protect him.

Just out of curiosity: Do you mean the DW is the devil or the traitor they are interviewing? That guy is advocating Turkey's dismissal from Nato, and working hard for US and Israel interests. Such people should not be allowed to enter Turkey.

TAF inventory will be the same in 12 months! Qatar won't sell us any EF. We should have bought those before Israel attacked Doha. As usual we are late and wasting time unnecessarily with negotiations etc. Özgür modernization is totally stalled because we need Murad AESA radar tests and...

I dont think we need 200 TB2 for reconnaissance etc. It is insane we paid 1 billion for them. We wont be fighting Armenia the next time. Our next adversaries will be much more capable. We need serious stuff. Both the son-in-law and Haluk Görgün need to wake up from their dreams. Still no...

Well, this is their majestatic game plan against the air force combo of Greece and Israel. As also backed by ex-colonel morons with a stick at hand on TV, 200 TB2 and 50 Akinci in our inventory will ensure that we prevail! But seriously, to those of you defending these rubbish tin cans, pls...

Well, the TS1400 has first been ignited in 2018! Not yet in serial production!!! It is planned in 2026, probably later. So how come a much more complex motor which has not yet been ignited, will go in serie in in less then 7 years? I'd rather say in the period 2035-2040. And 6th gen version...

But of course an alternative way to protect our country from Greece and Israel might be if we cover100% of our oil and gas need from US at a double price! Then Trump would probably prevent them from attacking us. Go figure which alternative is less costly!

This is yet again another failure of our decision makers. As we allowed Finland joining Nato we should have only demanded these motors. Those ultra-competent guys know better (!) than me but soon after CAATSA I would have agreed with RR (no IP or other negotiations) and ten years after in 2028...

I forgot to add, Spain can send us some patriots. But by that time most damage will be inflicted.
