No, having more than 80 F-110 engines doesn’t make sense. What’s more, in an emergency, you could still assemble at least 8–10 yourself from spare parts in the depot. On top of that, there are the engines from the 5–6 prototypes, which are practically new and will easily last 5–6 years or more...

The US will never agree to that if we only buy 10 or 20 – they know full well that we would only be buying them for analysis purposes and for standard NATO manoeuvres. They would insist on a minimum quantity, for example 40–60 aircraft or more.

OK… so why all this enthusiasm for the F-35 and the complaints that we’re being left out? Either you buy them or you don’t – unfortunately, the Israelis are involved and will definitely have built in backdoors. I don’t mean to criticise you personally, but it’s a bit of a paradox: you’re angry...

If – and I mean if – the F-35 and the general sanctions were to be lifted. Turkey should purchase a maximum of 80-100 F-35s, and under no circumstances more. 20 F-35Cs for the aircraft carrier ‘Mugem’ 20 F-35Bs for the 10x TCG Anadolu and the 10x TCG Trakya’ (if the latter is still to be...

"Maybe they didn't do that because of me." Why on earth would Turkey help Iran? 😂

Some will certainly disagree, but Güçhan (28000 - 30000 lbf) was essentially a Trump Card 😂, as the MSB Research and Development Centre has neither Factories nor test Center, let alone the technological know-how in Engine Manufacturing or the relevant metallurgical formulas and expertise. I...

If the US Congress (both the House of Representatives and the Senate) attempts to block the $700 million deal for the GE F110 engines for the Turkish TAI KAAN program, Donald Trump has two highly effective legal mechanisms to push the sale through anyway. US arms export law (specifically the...

What do you think guys? – How likely is it that, during the NATO summit, the PT1 will fly over the heads of the guests on its maiden flight, just to wipe the smiles off their faces (Grecce and France/Germany -> FCAS Failure)?

The perfect weapon against Aircraft Carriers and Destroyers. Do you know whether the target has to be stationary, or can it still be hit if it’s travelling at 15–25 knots?

Does anyone know what the current situation is with Gezgin? Are there any early prototypes of Siper Block 3 yet?

It looks more like a launch of a Siper or Hisar O+ – you just need to look at the launch vector 300° 22:00 clock; the trajectory is too flat for a ballistic missile (Ballistic Missile launch Vektor 340° - 360°). A Ballistic Missile must reach the higher layers of the atmosphere as quickly as...

Don’t get your hopes up too much – Armenia is playing along because it needs the central corridor, just like the rest of us; we’re talking here about the Silk Road, which runs through Azerbaijan → Georgia and maybe Armenia → Turkey → Europe. I tend to believe that several players, such as...

I know what you mean, but I don’t think that’s the whole truth. Yes, the government has made economic mistakes – what on earth prompted it to pursue this interest rate policy and the resulting inflation? I assume the aim was to attract foreign capital and investment through favourable interest...

I don’t know what you’re getting at – 82–83% self-sufficiency in defence by June 2026 is anything but a sell-off of capabilities. It’s by no means a given that you can go from18–20% to 82–83% in 15-20 Years. To achieve that, you need a great deal of political and strategic staying power. There...

When international asset management giants like BlackRock appear on the shareholder registries of critical defense contractors, it frequently triggers concerns about foreign subversion. However, a look at the financial architecture proves that BlackRock’s presence is entirely superficial. The...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/abdden-kaan-icin-resmi-f110-bildirimi/ That won’t achieve anything if the Senate blocks it. Trump would have to threaten the Senate and the Democrates & Republicans People, and make it clear to them that this is solely about the US and American interests, and...

The best solution would be to lend the four S-400 batteries to Azerbaijan (officially classified as a sale) and station them there permanently; should new developments arise in the Middle East or the Aegean that require a reassessment, the four batteries could be transferred back (repurchase)...

That’s why they should sack him and bring in Fatih Terim. Although he’s quite limited tactically as a manager, but he knows how to motivate the team and play effective pressing football, and the players both fear and respect him.

Montella should resign, and all players over the age of 30+ should be dropped from the squad to allow for a fresh start for Nations League and Euro 2028. Even the Goalkeeper – if he can’t even save low shots from 20 to 25 metres – has no place in the national team; after all, these weren’t...

This certainly has something to do with Islam (whether moderate or conservative); with a population of 88 million, Turkey has more seats in the European Parliament than Germany. In Germany, Turks are viewed as a ‘fifth column’ (Threat) and regarded as a major problem in future think-tank papers...
