I don't know what you guys refuse to understand. We have a treaty called Lausanne treaty. This treaty clearly binds Turkey to keep the streets free for passage (a giant big open door) As long as this treaty exist no matter what good arguments you have a canal will never be profitable, it will...

Ah did the Ottomans have a Lausanne treaty that stipulated free passage? No? Than your reference to the Ottomans has a big hole.

Agree, good arguments! But whether you have a canal or not, you cannot order anyone not to use the Bosphorus. Unless Turkey annuls the Lausanne treaty. Is Turkey gonna do that? The government is only telling that Turkey fully adheres the Lausanne treaty, no any signal that Turkey is planning...

How many examples do we have, has it ever been done? If no, why not? Maybe because there are some strict rules? In short having a canal on assumptions like maybe we can do this or that is a very weak guarantee to say it softly, that's more like "enayi kandirmaca"

Not really. The Lousanne treaty says clearly that Turkey has to keep the lanes open for free passage. Exceptional cases like storm, accidents etc. is not the same like restriction. About regulation, we do not even have the right to enforce guide captains on board of these ships, you figure out...

I don't care what opposition thinks or is opposing, I have my own brains to think. Many projects have their pro's and con's, but the Canal Istanbul project simply fails to make sense. It could make sense if Turkey would say, hey once the canal is ready I will close the Bosphorus passage all...

Dear Emrachi, these are not the same things. You make a canal but you have a huge passage called Bosphorus next to it. It is like having two entrances into a circus tent, at one entrance you ask money to the people to get in but the other entrance is totally free. Now how are you gonna...

Waste of money, rich become richer and the poor man has to pay more tax to spit out the expenses

How reliable is this Oğuzhan Uygun? Who is he and on what basis can we take him as a source? It's not my intention to bash anyone, I don't know the guy that's why I am asking. We cannot just blindly trust any twitter account.

On the contrary, as Muslim Turks are already regarded as a "danger" and as Turk you cannot get far in politics. Just years ago in the Netherland two Turkish Dutch politicians refused to recognize the Armenian genocide view of their party and they were kicked out of the party. These two...

Rumour from Russians, Would be nice if true but I doubt it, let us first rescue our 2 A400's

Missiles do not look very accurate, nor do they show precision towards a target. It can be that the development is still ongoing but like this it does not look very useful yet.

It's very good for Bayraktar. Such advertisement you cannot even achieve if you pay for it

It's possible but unlikely, radar gives so much more effectiveness. You can also use BVR missiles and get the target info from AWACS, but again there are many strings and limitations attached. The extra power of 2x750hp is likely needed for powering the radar and additional systems like...

Those active Akinci drones in Batman are the Akinci A model. These ones do not have AESA radar, so A2A missiles are very unlikely (not impossible) The Akinci B (2x750hp engine) is supposed to get the AESA integrated, tests of Akinci B are continuing and radar integration will probably commenced...

Wow you guys must have strong eyes, I watched the vid several times and cannot recognize A2A missiles (not saying there are none, I can't see them without doubt)

You can copy the shape, but if the software is not adequate and the features like the flight height, stealthiness than you will only be good for taking pictures

We should sanction the US on drones The irony would make my day!

I differ of opinion It is not about Otokar or FNSS taking the project or that I have a preference between any of our companies but it is about professionalism. If either Otokar or FNSS had taken the project they would have made sure the engine deliveries with a contract (or let MTU pay...

It's an absolute disgrace how the tank project is handled. Not only Altay but also Leopard 2A4 upgrade. There are also conflicting news about BMC tank engine development, I have no hard confirmation but also there things do not go as supposed to be. That said I do not think that tanks are less...
