"Reis-class submarines, which will be equipped with the DM2A4 heavy torpedo and UGM-84A anti-ship missile in the first phase, will soon be equipped with the Akya heavy torpedo and Atmaca anti-ship missile produced by ROKETSAN, as well as the Gezgin cruise missile."...

This is an unsubstantiated claim from some, while it is possibly true, we can't be certain. In the latest TurDef article there was another claim that US was looking unfavorably to transfer of AIM-120C8 and SABR radars. This is also unsubstantiated for now.

Only supports my point to be honest. Something failed, either due to enemy interference or due to a fault in the system which left the aircraft unresponsive and led to it going headfirst into Ukrainian airspace. And there will always be such risks with unmanned aircraft.

Sure. But in a peer conflict, we should expect similar capabilities from our adversaries as well, not the turkey shoot we grown accustomed in 2021. Lack of a pilot on the controls will always bring these kinds of risks.

There were allegations in Libya and Ukraine, of course not corroborated. Most uavs do. That can also be spoofed. It's how the RQ-170 landed in Iran.

Both are way harder to achieve in real conditions than saying it though.

Nope. Contract negotiations.

For an Iran sized country, make that 10 million. This is brinkmanship. Relations did not get sour because Erdogan said some dumb things. It can be traced back to the end of the cold war, 91 Iraq war, 2003 invasion 2009 and the Arab Spring. We are feeling the same untrustworthy vibes from US...

That threat didn't stop the previous ones. If the outsiders turn up the heat enough, something they previously did not do in the past protests, especially in 2022, it can get out of hand and become an uprising. A popular uprising is something, but a possible civil war is something totally...

I'm not 100% sure on this. They've used too much capital over the last 2 decade outside their borders and an important part of the country is fed up. While we don't know much about internal power dynamics and a possible civil war threat is low, a popular protest is possible.

I checked it after your post and Gediz indeed looks now to be armed with 2 RCWS I don't remember seeing before to the two sides of the bridge. Can't make up the model though and have a pretty short barrel as well. - Oh nevermind, they were done in 2022.

"Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will sit at the table to discuss only the "continental shelf" at the request of the Greek Foreign Minister. For the first time in the history of the Republic, discussing the continental shelf issue without discussing the problems in the Aegean means giving Greece...

F-16B30 used by Solotürk are old aircraft we've been using for close to 35 years now. And Solotürk is out there, flying for the crowds every day, so I don't really think this would be a case of maintenance gone wrong. Air force needs to look at the squadron, its structure and maybe enact come...

Serial production is not scientific development, it's serial production. Kaan's flyaway cost will not be below 70-80 million dollars. It's lifecycle cost will at least be double if not triple that. Simple example, Canada will pay 19 billion(CAD) for acquisition of 88 F-35s, and another 53...

Blue Homeland is not defended since 2021.

TRT Haber says the group will pass through Suez and Red Sea to reach Somalia. Should be interesting.

Everyone is. Looks like Tel Rıfat and surroundings, maybe outskirts of Aleppo. But if this is cancelled it would be the 8th or 9th cancelled operation in the last 5 years, so no reason to raise hopes up until it starts.

Not with the flighthours training squadrons incur over time. They start sorties in early morning, fly until 4-5. spend a day close to Çiğli, you'll see at least 50-70 sorties a day every weekday, KT-1s and T-38s. Combat squadrons don't make one third of the sorties training squadrons make. No...

We already do training on "final" aircraft. That's what F-16Ds are mostly used for. Please have a read on initial training made on simple Cessnas, basic training done on KT-1s, advanced training done on simple configuration advanced trainers, LIFT training done on complex configuration advanced...
