I think you're missing the development here. If I am not mistaken the exports will reach 300bn USD in 2022. In a half of a decade, Turkey could very well be in top 15 with the industrial revolution happening right now (surge of high value exports)
My question is, why is TF-X so much bigger in all aspects than its peers. Is it due to Turkiye's inexpiernce in designing and building aircraft of this caliber as well as lack of minaturization of certain hardware?
Yes, usually they do things around noon - giving them time to redo an attempt if there are issues.
As long as there is not smoke coming out from Corlu Airport, I am happy!
PKK bombed several Turkish bases in Syria. No response from TSK. Very unusual - maybe because operation is imminent.
Also the fact that PKK fired dozens of rockets must indicate that they have no hope in Russia/USA holding Turkiye back. They must believe an invasion is imminent
