Good article and good post. Bringing some science and methodology into an otherwise very tiring discussion.

I mean, technically there is the AfD, which is a Nazi party. What will closing HDP accomplish? My points still stand, whether you ban it or not. There will be a new HDP with the same voter turnout. Solve the source of the problem.

Lets focus on the drone programs and nothing else please.

Like closing the Kurdish parties has done anything, ever. They just change their names and enter the parliament again. There is a good 10% of the country that will be voting for the next version of HDP. Closing them doesn't change anything. Bring prosperity, wealth into the regions. Make the...

Reaction videos are not news.

That reminds me, of something. To all those that oppose defence exports to certain countries. These exports create dependencies, look at us for example in the past with our defence equipment. If you buy Turkish equipment, you buy into an ecosystem. If you plan to use your new toys in the...

Turkish workforce deserves every raise they can get, but the inflation wheel is already turning and without any interest rate hikes and demand destruction we wont get out of it. Also there are so many people that do not get minimum wage in first place because of informal / illegal employements.

Testing on Akincis is probably way cheaper than on the F16 per hour.

In the grand scheme of things no one cares about your feelings towards one country or the other. None of the naysayers and cherry pickers for exports think strategic enough or even business oriented. We're building a completely new aircraft, with little prior experience. We should be happy to...

There are no monopolists in the automotive industry. TOGG is already sheltered and through the import tariffs on non-local cars.

I believe the SMR might be a better way to realize our energy needs, because currently its hard to find someone to finance a 20bln €+ regular sized power plant. Otherwise we would have made progress with the other 2 planned plants, but have made little progress in the last decade.

When was the last time that you were stuck in traffic for 12 hours? Thats a very extreme and rare case you're talking about. I was in traffic for 6hours this year in my EV while driving to Italy and hardly lost any battery.

I dont if the delivery was humanitarian, afaik it was TB2s and tbh who could have expected that a war will start the next day. But yeah hope we dont put our assets at risk like that again. Next time delivery terms shall be free ex works.

Looks like our 2 A400M are finally back in Turkey from Ukraine:

Its been 12 years now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAI_TF-X Time flies.

That was literally posted 5-6 posts above a couple of days ago @Ecderha and discussed. And has nothing to do with Turkeys F35 program. General F35 topics may be addressed in the US subforum.

Afaik in order to trade Turkish stocks, on Turkish apps you need to have a Turkish tax ID. Go through ETFs i.e. MSCI Turkey, which is the better strategy vs. stock picking and available on many international brokers.

Keep your conspiracy theories out of this thread. I said it before, on topic posts only.

Let's stay on topic about our defence programs and move the discussion about who or what it will be needed against to the geopolitics thread.

I think there's one thing that we shouldn't forget between all the bad things that have happened between Turkey and the US. There is still a big block of politicians, senators, high ranking people in the Pentagon that know that our relations matter. There's more to the US-Turkish relations than...
