What he needs is an Israeli style treatment! But our people are too lenient for such stuff.

Dont forget you need to find many more navy personnel for 8 frigates of 5500ton compared to 4 tepe class. Their maintenance, fuel consumption etc. does not necessarily scale down linearly. I think your argument for no Tepe does not really make much sense. Not sure CAFRAD could be fully utilized...

Somehow people do not seem to understand my argument. Without MUGEM they wont be building up to 8 Tepe ships. And maybe no NUKDENs either. I See this also as Navy having the excuse to demand more assets. Also additional assets are always additional. In war time I can call back them all to defend...

If we were good in planning & policies we wouldn't have a per capita GDP of $15K today but rather > $50K. I have read somewhere that 1+3 Tepe class are planned for production and for MUGEM 2 more may be produced. So look at the bright side, without MUGEM we would have only 4 Tepe! And that 2...

Just to fend off any critics about the prioritization: I meant this in terms of naval assets. The prioritization would change of course considering air and land forces as well. Actually, TF2000 could still be extremely useful as an extension of Steel Dome, especially if it can be equipped with...

Although I'd also certainly prioritize submarines, USVs, and TF2000, I think your calculation of 20bn is exaggerated on the negative side. Those destroyers, frigates, and MILDEN you are counting in the cost are already needed. The fighter jets are also needed anyhow (they being navalized does...

So the defamation campaign against Türkiye has begun!! They are preparing people for what is to come. Armageddon is in the making!

The Telegraph deletes story falsely claiming Erdogan threatened to invade Israel The Daily Telegraph has deleted a false story headlined "Erdogan threatens to invade Israel" which appears to have been based on statements the Turkish president made two years ago, taken out of context. The...

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...
