1. I'm not against foreign investments, as long as its done transparent and at market value. No backdoor agreements. 2. Lira will fluctuate until the central bank has the confidence of foreign investors again. And confidence is build over year and can be lost in Turkey with a single Erdogan...

If someone is going to invest 1bln € in a chip factory, you will need more than just defense customers to make it worthwhile.

Interesting concept: (didnt know if I should post this in guided ammunition or uavs)

Agreed, unrealistic scenario. But I think in a total war situation Baltics are considered buffer zone by NATO afaik.

I would love to see more citizenships and visa given to skilled labor, scientists in areas where we are missing brain power. These home owner citizenships are largely rich people securing their future in case something goes wrong at home.

Dansöz is dancing again. Economic situation and incoming Biden are major factors here. But you can't insult leaders and countries and expect things to go normal again.

Germany is different, there's little political will to be big in defense and the population seems to be and rightfully so anti war. Not like in Turkey where we are all pretty much rooting for our army and our defense equipment. It's hurting the business and development. There are now some...

Not easy to unite the Turkish community when one certain group has been doing a lot to polarize them for two decades. Armenians only have one goal to root behind their country, we're in a different position and so are the opinions. Just my two cents.

Would be great if we could join or even develop parts for Tempest. But Tempest is going to be 6th generation (whatever that is) and it would be wise to join one program. We need to keep an edge on the neighbours. MMU will only be 4.5th generation afaik. No expert, just my amateur opinion.

I really think we should knocking at BAE and Leonardos door to participate in Tempest. UK and Italy have always been very cooperative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Tempest

Without the political drama we would have received Arrow-2 by now in a deal worth 2bln €. Anyway business between both countries seems to be unaffected by politics.

Turkey in talks with South Korea to salvage Altay tank program https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2020/11/19/turkey-in-talks-with-south-korea-to-salvage-altay-tank-program/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Socialflow+DFN Before someone starts complaining about the...

Because we're in a different position. Germany and its industry can afford to embargo Turkey, our companies at this stage are proud of exporting to Germany and will most likely use it as a reference to boost further exports. Each sale will help develop new projects, while Germany is the export...

Ukrainian sources leaking information left and right.

What democracy. And isn't that Americas trademark?

Guys, if Turkey can fight 2-3 proxy wars - so can Russia at least.

Another successful Turk, but again the success is abroad not at home. Interesting but long read. Huawei, 5G, and the Man Who Conquered Noise How an obscure Turkish scientist’s obscure theoretical breakthrough helped the Chinese tech giant gain control of the future. US telecoms never had a...

I like the rail-link between Turkey and Azerbaijan. It would be faster route than the existing route through Georgia. If Armenia acted rationally we could add them to the rail network. We really need a change in attitude in the region. If Germany and France are best friends today, why can't we...
