    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    At first glance, the Taliban can only be seen as an Islamic Movement, but it also has a very strong Pashtun nationalism side. Pashtuns, like the Kurds, will never accept existing political borders. So there is only one Taliban, not two Taliban, just as there is only one Pashtun people. Pakistan...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    If this power pack works smoothly in the heavier Altay or if its potential errors are corrected in cooperation with Turkey, there will be no obstacles to integrating this power pack into the K2 tank. An alternative is also created for countries that do not like to use the German power package...

    As far as I know, final tests for CATS are either over or nearing the end. For this reason, FLIR, the most critical foreign component, will also be produced and used domestically. Of course, this domestication has a side effect. Costs may increase as cheap commercial components cannot be used...

    As far as I know, this feature is offered as an option in the domestically produced GPS module.

    Air-Force Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force

    I agree. That's why I said it changes irreversibly. Because when you eliminate the F-16 project, there is nothing left to talk about jointly between Turkey and USA. Our interests are completely separated. And most importantly, when we bombed PKK terrorists, shameless and systematic liars of...

    Air-Force Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force

    It would actually make a lot of sense. What missions do we use F-16s for? For the aerial bombardment&CAS and the protection of our airspace. We plan to transfer these tasks that I understand to 3 different platforms. Akıncı&MIUS-B for bombardment, modernized SU-25 for CAS and Akıncı&MIUS-A for...

    Not just decoy but "decoy+kamikaze drone". If Simsek was just decoy, it could be identified by enemy intelligent systems and simply ignored. However, when Simsek is also a kamikaze drone, it cannot be simply ignored. It should definitely be blocked. This blocking effort will put an heavy...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    OK, let's say Otokar made a design mistake there. So why did the TSK not want this situation to be corrected in the acceptance tests? As you can see, all roads lead to the TSK, not Otokar.

    Not Otokar also. Only blame TSK. Otokar implemented the demands of the TSK. TSK was a blindly fan of German Leopard-2's. When the TSK experienced modern tank warfare in Syria, there was a sudden enlightenment!

    TR Economy & Updates

    Inflation in the dollar should also be taken into account. If the export was 100 billion dollars in the previous year and 110 billion dollars this year, the export did not increase. Figures are inflated due to dollar inflation.

    Defence Q&A Do Bullpups have a future?

    I think that bullpup style rifles have no place in CQB in the future. Rifles with a rather short barrel but using increased caliber ammunition will be sufficient for this job. For example, 300 AAC Blackout ammunition. IMO in summary, bullpup style rifles will be nothing more than a trial.

    In the not too distant past it was said that computers could never play chess better than humans. I don't think you know what you're talking about. MIUS may well be more effective than the F-35. Our main problem is will it be effective from other unmanned jet fighters?

    Defence Q&A Do Bullpups have a future?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSAT_caseless_ammunition While they were valid arguments, another issue with the rifle was overheating. Because the number of fire per minute was very high. I have analyzed the G11 concept in great detail. The Americans are working on caseless weapons using the...

    With caseless ammunition maybe. Otherwise no.
