Turkish share will increase. So will US share. They have lots of treaty allies, who are developed and rich. For them high-end US system purchase often has positive implications for national security. One of the reason why 16 countries already bought the F35.

Why?

New Type-12 surface to ship missile has LRASM like LO feature. Also, NSM seems to be more stealthly than Harpoon. (similar to SOM) And then there is Sea breaker that has entered mass production after receiving contract.

Japan cannot be left out.

Türkiye's first Turbofan engine being run for the very first time! One small engine, but hopefully it will pave the way for a giant leap in gas turbine technology. Congrats to SSB & TEI. Keep going. Don't stop!👏👏

Probably part of SAM ambush Ukraine has been doing with its Patriot. So, it is only a launcher.

Yeah, we already know the adequate solution. Which is SP radar guided AAA guns equiped with programmable ammunition. Like Kurkut, Skynex, etc. But the issue seems to be the number disparity. The drones are coming in hundreds of thousands, while these systems are being procured at several...

@Nilgiri @Rooxbar interesting take by Niall Ferguson. What do you guys think? Will this containment policy work like the last time it did with USSR?

How organized are they? Do they even have separate intelligence directorate?

South Korea, Israel, Azerbaijan and the Turkic states.😂😂

What's this about? we are already way past this stuff. It is 2024 and the real thing has already flown.

Excellent turret, a capable gun and superb sensors. But the chassis, new paint job can't hide it anymore. I can hear its plea loud and clear- "Please put that turret on some youngling. (Kaplan, Tuplar or whatever.) And just let me rest in peace this time."

Couldn't they make AMCA a bit bigger, with F414 engines can it be truly an air superiority replacement for SU-30MKI? It seems more like J-35 and future KF-21. Also, will two F414 be able to meet the power demands for next gen sensors and avionics?

Is it really worth it though? Expensive VLS on land when truck mounted launchers for AD missiles are more cost effective and survivable.

Officially state department always had the same position, iirc. It is just some US politicians who were making a fuss for whatever reasons.

I don't think it is about MB, I think it is more about SISI acting like a butcher with impunity. It is hard for decent democratic countries with integrity to put up with this kind of people. But I get it, realpolitik says there is not much to do about it except to move along.

From a third party perspective, overall Western attitude to Türkiye's defence ambition doesn't seem hostile, but clearly non-cooperative and unhelpful. (There is a difference) They provide enough not to alienate and disintegrate Türkiye, but definitely not sufficient that you expect from your...

Who told you that? They have sufficient radar signeture to be detected and tracked. It is just that most of the time, a $1 million NASAM or IRIS T SLM interceptor isn't worth the trouble against $20000 Russian glide bomb. (Add to that, Ukraine doesn't have sufficient AD coverage)

When is the launch?
