Literally lions. Boys back in Seraqib.

"2 months ago, Jabhat Fateh and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham were shooting at each other, 1 year ago Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and HTS were eating each other, 4-5 years ago Nureddin al-Zengi was driven out of Idlib by HTS. All opposition groups are almost united for Operation Preventing Aggression, so...

Is this the day, after 6 years? "All factions of the Syrian National Army in the northern countryside of Aleppo are increasing their full military readiness" "Preparation orders are said to have been given for all groups in the north"

Hard agree. I can't fault Syrians for trying to carve their own way by their blood. But I don't think we are just clueless about what's happening on the ground. Must be more complex. And even if not, we will either join from the back with fire support, or we will support them when they are...

Ingimas... And once again shows the rock and the hard place we're in. Do we even want HTS in Aleppo? Useless militia. But those Russian ganimah is nice.. I won't link it but looks like there are Russian KIAs as well.

We created it out of nothing, and at the time used best stuff available on it. We didn't just make a tank, we built the ecosystem to build a tank as well. Agreed, but Altay was expensive before all the delays as well. Otokar's bid for 250 tanks was what, 14 million apiece? Otokar also took all...

Welp, it was only a matter of time anyway. Situation was already untenable in Idlib, and they had to act sooner or later. I just hope this didn't came as a surprise to our guys. I don't think scope of the op is that big but let's see.

I don't think most people understand this. Tech is simply not there yet.

Özgür 2 doesn't exist yet. Its development deal was signed last year. It wasn't. S-400 never had any single real world capability for our air force. They've been staying in hangars in Ankara since their calibration tests were completed in Sinop in 2020. "Lavrov: Turkey must get Russia's...

How do the mechanized infantry columns advance without tanks?

Mali now operates Akıncı, Teber and MAM-Ts as well.

If we take his words at face value, he says we'll only get 40 new built F-16Vs. We can't convert our F-16s to Vipers without Viper mod kits, which he says we are not getting from US. That must mean all the Peace Onyx 1, 2, 3 F-16s are going through Özgür, excluding the 29 Block 50+. Those...

MoD's statements regarding the F-35s are in the air. There's nothing happening there for now. This is solely about the F-16s. F-16s that look like will be built in US, not Turkey.

Air force needs more aircraft. This is the lowest number of fighters they've had for the last 50 or 60 years.

Weird times.

Unlike Steel Dome, I actually like this one :)

To add, why do we want a 30+ ton 8x8 AFV to carry our long range missiles on a brigade level? What's the actual advantage? Doubt it to be honest.

If I'm understanding your point correctly, EF-2000 is not ITAR-free either. Turkish procurement re geopolitics is complicated overall. Being a NATO country with embargoes added on top, our procurements solely fall to politics and not blanket bans. If we really want EF-2000s, and seems we do...

We have no idea what "Anka-4" is, or whether it will happen in the first place. Anka-4 is not even its official name.

I think we will also see increased bilateral security relations from the Baltics down to Poland, Romania and Black Sea to Turkey, a new eastern axis, solely against Russia. Russian encroachment there doesn't serve us at all, with or without NATO considerations.
