Agree that , he also explicitly said that 5 or 10 times cheaper than 5. gen aircrafts. If you count all the expenses 20x 30x cheaper he outlined But you know, media is always tend to exagerrate things to get more views. If one doesnt watch entire program, headline or fixed subtitles can be very...

Half of Europe united and created 1 ramjet AA missile, we on ourselves created 2 ramjet AA missiles: Gokbora and Gokhan This is not small UAVs like Baykar and Tusaş making almost identical ones, like Kalkan and others. There may be export consideration. But we are talking about extremely...

From this stage, there is no turning back, otherwise noone would do business with them. Eurofighters are coming

That is almost a new missile. Original Tayfun is 2300 kg, 610 mm and 6.5 m length. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/uploads/docs/kataloglar/TR/2024/1726595739_tayfun.pdf

And has to be a ramjet 💪

Excellent development. Ahlatçı is deserving credit because they (mostly) transformed Çorum a place from migrate to a place to migrate. There is already organized defense Industry in Çorum (in Ankara road). Their mechanics (ustaları) are famous for their expertise and very good their jobs after...

I am ready to take some heat, but I will write anyway. May be not peace (not at least right now, may be later) but some sort of coolheaded approach is needed imho. Dont get me wrong, I curse Israel more than anyone for what they have been doing to Palestinians, but Turkiye and our interest must...

Unfortunately, it doesnt work that way. Not technically, but as a matter of law and politics: F110 engines are in the scope of ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations). You bought these engines to be used for f16s. Removing from F16s and using in Kaan like exporting these engines to...

I dont want to be that direct but I have to say: You have no idea whatsoever about Turkiye and about Israel. There are a lot to be said, like they have to fight somewhere, they dont want any country that capable of defend themselves in this region, their current leadership consist of bunch of...

What concerns me the most is the espionage activities of Israel, not their airforce. We can build air defence systems, radars; lets say we can protect them to some degree from aircraft attacks. But what if in case of a conflict there are some sleeping agents, some traitors (you all know who I am...

Iran has not said this action is an act of war so far. They are just talking about "response". Interesting. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-plans-give-harsh-response-israeli-attack-iranian-security-source-reuters-2025-06-13/

Certainly agree that. They want change, but getting attacked by your biggest enemy and disintegration are different things. May be regime may change after the war. But now, whoever attempts that, will be seen as "the man of Israel or USA"

They have never been our friends, ever. Lets be honest, if Israel really prevents them getting nukes, it will be good for us. In the end they will likely throw those nukes to us before Israel. But frankly, one the most ancient people on earth, very deep culture, highly educated people who are...

No and no, with all due respect. Iran will not disintegrate. Iran has pathetic military, we all know that. But one should remember that People of Iran has some unity, it may be argued more united than us. Yes, they have a lot different branches but their unity based on secterianism and...

I dont know. Design is from SK, so are engine and transmission. Now the armor. This tank, will not be "indigenous or national" at least 10 years. We would be better off if we bought 250 K2s Shame

There were some news about furnace that Baykar purchased and engine to be produced would be more powerful than the current Ukrainian engine but we are talking about 20.000 libres. I know Mr Özbek is one of the most trusted correspondent out there but that is completely unexpected: "Baykar...

There are similar incidents on the web, I leave the links here. I still think ejection would be right call, if seats are reliable of course. However, I didnt take into consideration that ejection seat could be so old, if that is the case, fair enough, you might be right.

Ejection would have been the right thing, frankly. But most of time our pilots just refusing to do that. In the past, we lost extremely valuable and skilled pilots in such conditions. It seems that is a near-miss situation from this camera angle, but fortunately we evaded the worst. Our pilots...

Exactly. Some of us think like we are living in the Ottoman Empire, at her peak time. We are neither a superpower nor rich, nor very advanced country in terms of technology, science, democracy or law system. We dont have the oil, gas or multi trillion dolar companies (even those who have, are...

I can concur these points. Attitude of Romanians towards Turks is quite positive. I spent some time there and that was a nice surprise to me. They mostly hate Russians though
