Iran surviving this way is the best outcome for Türkiye. But we should never sell any weapons to them. This would be a big mistake. We should keep our relations with US at least neutral as long as possible. Iran should buy stuff from China, Russia, and NK.

Yes, the world will watch movies of those who manage to pull off acts like that. Not many will remember the hundreds of school children (actually thousends with Gaza) they murdered.

Trying to understand why people have liked this. For God's sake, it is 5 years from now!! I thought Gökhan is a more evolved and liquid fuel powered ramjet than Gökbora, which is solid fuel based. Does this mean Gökhan will come even later?? In any case, this is bad news. If something going into...

I have never defended US or Israel. Forum members who have read my previous messages know that I only care about Türkiye. Also F-15 was never hyped as invincible. F-35 has some hype about it. You may indeed be a bot as pointed out by a fellow forum member but I cannot think of what your aim...

This does not mean anything. It just shows that US/Israel jets are flying so low (because they know practically there is no AD from Iran) that they can be targeted by missiles fired by a soldier. If hundreds of planes flying over Iran day in day out it can also be a mechanical failure. What is...

This is because we wont have anti-ballistic capability till 2030s. Difficult to catch up as we have been sleeping centuries. Edit: Also our defence procurement agency was sleeping. It is irresponsible all these S400, F35 and Altay debacles.

There will be no F16 or F35 deals with US. Israel won't allow this. I am even not sure we can buy the engines for the first batch of KAANs. We still couldn't get the 1.5bn we paid for F35s. I am astonished that there are some people who are optimistic about this. They should rather pray that the...

That's why I have been saying 20 EFs not sufficient. We need to have at least 40, and with the mighty radar Mk2. That is a beast and in EW capability within top 3 (maybe even the best) in the world. Given all the money we are paying for spare parts, training, infrastructure etc. we should...

Logistics can be optimized. When they dig tunnels for other purposes, they can expand and enlarge a bit the maintenance tunnels, they can adapt some natural caves to hide munition etc. But as we are able to produce those tunnel digging machines ourselves we should prepare a few more mountains...

If something is a matter of life and death, then US will indeed annihilate us. But still we should increase our conventional power to a point where they will begin to think „Is it really worth attacking that country?“ Before we go on the nuke route seriously (we should already intensively work...

he is still giving very good advice. If we don't protect well our missile launchers, hangars for fighter jets, drones, munition and missile depots, and their production facilities under mountains, tunnels etc. our attack capability cannot be preserved. And with what are you going to attack 600...

Yes, we should be able to neutralize aircraft carriers for our survival. TAYFUN/CENK are very important for stationary targets like air fields, military infrastructure etc. but it is a very difficult task to hit moving targets with them. The easiest way is to use Super Simsek or Harop style...

And how is Türkiye preparing? No EFs till 2030 and no F16 modernized yet?

Storm Shadow cannot be carried in the internal bay of the fighter jet. A radar like ERIS will detect the plane from a long distance. Even the missile itself is easier to detect than SOM-J, which is small, stealth, but still powerful enough. The idea is to carry it with a stealth drone like...

Agree. TEI is too sluggish. Baykar will be a very large company in the future. We are talking about an engine that Hürjet can fly with, it is not about 6.th generation engine, so no need for specialization here.

The concepts should be driven by the Turkish army. Not by some profit oriented CEOs who are just following some popular trends in bizarre ways. We have limited resources and time. We need to come up with the most impactful ideas. Turkish army officials need to spend more time with the industry...

if they use KTJ-3700 which is almost ready for Atmaca land version, it can reach up to 400km. KTJ-3700 is almost the same size as the currently used KTJ-3200, so I'd be surprised if they dont go this way. SOM-J should rather have 500km range to be a strategic weapon.

Your EDIT part tells a sad story unfortunately. But in my "scenario" I am already allowing a few years before NATO will effectively dissolve, or Israel is able to convince Trump or the next american president. If we use this time with utmost effectiveness, we may have a chance even against the...

Although I support this fully, no government with election concerns would do it. Because the costs of obeying Israel and US would seem much lower to them. If Türkiye renounces its regional ambitions, in the short term, Turkish economy may even perform better. Ordinary people would like this. In...

They would be much better protected with what? Patriots, THAAD? Iron Dome components? David’ Sling, Arrow? I dont think the protection of air fields is much better than the Israeli cities. Maybe some additional layer of point defence but that wouldnt be effective against ballistic missiles...
