I am with @Ripley on this. I have the same issue on my IPad . Plus, I don’t have the long options when I click on “like” button. Hence if I want to give any other options other than “like”, I have to revert to my phone, or my desktop.

A veto would mean Congress is not there. Do you think even Trump can ignore Congress?

The important part of the Typhoon procurement program is the quick deliveries of 24 +12 Typhoons to come from Qatar + Oman. (Especially the 24 Qatari planes.) After the bombings in the Gulf, this initial quick procurement from Gulf states may have been put on a back burner. So to activate the...

Can you please explain what you mean by this with examples? UK has f35Bs with Typhoons Germany has Typhoons with Tornados. (Soon to have f35As) India has Tejas with SU30s and Mig21s. Poland has F16s with FA50 and Mig 29 South Korea has F15s, F16s, F35As with FA50s and F5s. Soon to have KF21s.

Exactly, it is YOUR opinion. Hurjet can not operate as a Gripen E/F . Airframes are totally different. They will have to alter immensely the design of the Hurjet airframe in order to get a performance of a Gripen E/F out of a Hurjet. No matter what you do to a Hurjet, you will NEVER get the...

In addition to @TheInsider ’s post : There is a cost and fuel consumption issue. The f414 uses more fuel but per thrust it is more efficient. It is a real fighter jet engine. F404 is cheaper and good for a trainer. Normally F414 is 30-40% more expensive. But in certain cases it can be double...

Great news to hear that they have come to an agreement with Sikorsky. But above newspiece in X says something vague in Turkish. The translation is not exact as the Turkish part doesn’t make sense. According to the wording there : He says “at the beginning of the year we reached an agreement...

Bro Levante in Latin means where the sun rises from. Historically it means the lands that are Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel and Cyprus of today. Entities like the English Levant Company and the French Compagnie du Levant were chartered in the late 1500s and 1600s to monopolize commerce with...

It is the Turkish phobia people have. If made in Turkey, as far as some European defence circles, the relevant equipment may not be up to “western” standards. It just reminds me of the early seventies when we used to shop for clothing in Mark and Spencer in the UK, everyone used to look for the...

What is inside that container? TRG 300? Atmaca? Akya?

But interesting that nearly 300 metres away, the temperature is still 40 degrees C. At 15 metres from nozzle it is nearly 150 degrees C. That is a lot of IR signature. Also this has a lot to do with staff safety around those engines. So it must be taken stationary on tarmac. I wonder what values...

According to unconfirmed sources : F110 non afterburner/dry exhaust temperature : 600-700 degrees C Afterburner exhaust temperature : 1700-2000 degrees C F135 non afterburner/dry exhaust temperature : 600-650 degrees C Afterburner exhaust temperature : 1500-1700 degrees C So in reality there...

I appreciate TAF’s decision to increase munition stocks. We must have a reasonable quantity of all types of munitions in ready to use stocks. But it has to be remembered that all munitions have a shelf life. Electronic circuits may corrode and/or explosive fillings would age. These will have to...

As I have said before, to have a limited quantity of these I can understand. But to mass produce these in big numbers is not very clever. KGK version, yes! But HGK has a maximum range of 28km if released from 40000+ft altitude. In order to release this bomb you need total air superiority...

Wow! This is no different than medieval highway banditry. A gulf that is home to no less than 8 sovereign countries is being held ransom by 21st century brigands. Can you imagine Turkiye asking for 20% from every country that has shores in the Black Sea, to use our straits?

If so, what is the point? Yes, due to incompetent management of F35 programme and S400 debacle plus the greed of top management over Kaan ‘s engine development, we have made grave errors and fallen behind during the last decade. But now we are in the process of making amends. We just need to be...

Bro, do you have a source about these predictions? Or is it your own opinion? As of March 2025 it was stated that a firing test of a Gokdogan missile was carried out with an F16 Ozgur plane carrying Murad Aesa radar. https://www.defenceturk.net/f-16-ozgurden-test-atislari A year before that...

Guys, I know I started the conversation regarding on time deliveries. But no need to argue over it or take the mickey about it. The whole idea of this F110 engine saga was to do with timely deliveries. One would think that our officials would get a solid contract with heavy late delivery...
