Israel and Turkey are bound come together in the future, again. Geopolitical necessities demand it every 5 or so years no matter how much they stray away from each other.

Trump, more than likely will double US’ support for Israel, we know this, right?

What would be the reasons for the announcements from this week from KDP, Iraq and PMF groups to demand an end to the operations? Just looking tough?

My actual point was that, no kings and queens do not hold actual power over UK politics. It is by all means a popular democracy and parties hold the power with their prime ministers, and bureaucrats who are not assigned by the crown but civil systems.

There are no presidents in the UK.

Indeed, but number of mod kits wasn’t just a haggling tactic. 119 Viper number(40 new, 79 modded) was touted by the air force first. Presumed plan was to divide the F-16 fleet in two nearly 50/50. Some squadrons would just run Vipers, while others would just run the Özgür aircraft. We haven’t...

Why civilian and unarmored…

Looks to be Babcock’s AH140 with some changes, more specifically Indonesia’s Merah Putih. I thought they were going to go with Aselsan SMASH tho.

While MTCR is indeed nonbinding, it also serves as a sieve to filter out countries. An MTCR compliant country will have easier access to COTS components from other MTCR signatory nations. And breaking the signed and supported MTCR procedures would hurt TR interests as usual. We’d have harder...

To add, the team that created the thing says they haven’t tested it against lasers yet and in everything they published, using it on drones is not mentioned. It’s a third party twitter channel claiming it could be used as a coating against lasers on drones. This might or might not be, but a...

Spirit of de Gaulle lives…

It is mentioned that TF2000s won’t carry quadruple Mk-141 angled launchers of Harpoon/Atmaca and Atmaca loads will be carried in the MIDLAS. Hence my comment of 32 Atmacas in Istifs with strike length MIDLAS, which will be in ships 2 through 8, or 5 through 8, unsure.

If they order 8 of the same ship, they have plans of their own in mind. The ships these 8 vessels will replace, are Yavuz class Mekos and old Gabyas. Those 8 ships in total have 0 VLS cells, depending on Sea Sparrows and SM-1s for air defence. 8 Istifs will add 128 VLS cells to the navy. As well...

I believe second batch of Istifs will replace the shorter non modernized Gabyas, while first TF2000 batch will replace the Mk41 ones. If a second batch of TF2000s is indeed real and happens, that will be the actual hull increase in that vein, without going into middle designs between Istif and...

Ancient photo, at least 3 years old from when BMC showed off Leotay. No Vuran Sungur deliveries have been made afaik. Can’t see this being accepted into service as well with that height. Middles ones are not launchers.

Untrue.

Because they are fed up with bad governance, a population and economic crisis with no end in sight and ever growing number of others. They are not fascists, they are erdogan voters.

We have talked about the impossible situation we have been in the region for the last few years and it was always visible that it would end like this. There’s no easy solution. Men we trained and paid their salaries shot at, per claims even used RPGs against our units. As we always said they...

At least one good news from today. Turkey is working on creating a deal between Somalia and Ethiopia.

We lost in Syria 7-8 years ago. What happened since then was just delaying the inevitable.
