Untrue.
People genuinely believe in the thought experiment that we did all that, had ourselves removed from the program and got sanctioned under CAATSA because we actually "DIDN'T" want F-35s. This is dumb. There were other ways to remove ourselves from the program, like I don't know, changing...
Aselsan's first airborne AESA radar made its first flight onboard an F-16 Özgür. I thought Akıncı would be its first flying host.
This radar and its iterations will fly aboard F-16s, Anka-3, Hürjet, Akıncı and KE.
Jupiters in Turkey(under Turkish control but with US keeping warhead keys) was enough to make Soviets anxious and it led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and possible nuclear war. It of course ended with US removing the missiles with Soviets deescalating. But in the end US still kept its promise and...
F-35 for Saudi and UAE was always iffy at best and required a huge leap of faith from Trump, with every other part of the state apparatus being against it. Even if Trump comes back next year, I think that ships has long sailed. I do think Saudi can be a customer for Kaan as well. Hopefully not...
Taking a quick glance at potential customers for F-35 and Kaan, I think there's not one country that can buy the F-35 in the current geopolitical climate but would choose Kaan instead of buying F-35. Together, maybe, instead of, nope.
And now we are down to 15 frigates from last year's 16 with Istanbul's inclusion this year. Constructing next 3 I class ships back to back now make much more sense.
I demand a new TCG Yavuz asap... Hopefully one of the TF2000s are named after it.
The Shahba Meeting group refused to disband the group and unite with the National Army.
HTS is on high alert in Aleppo western countryside. HTS is deploying troops to Qatmeh to support the Shahba Meeting faction.
There will be blood.
Looks like the refugee deal with Greece is in effect.
"What is happening to Afghans in Turkey?
We have previously published about large groups of people, Afgan families, who have been taken from camps in coastal areas and transported across Turkey to the border to Iran.
Now they are also...
More details about Otokar's 4x4 bid to Romania.
Max weight of the vehicle will be no more than 10.400kg(at least for some variants or all) and 278 vehicles are to be delivered within 1 year after contract signed.
Very competitive tender, no wonder why no one else but Otokar made a bid. Cobra...
It was. No country worth its mettle orders 1000 vehicles all to be built outside. Total delivery will take at least 2-3 years. 1/3 of program are to be imported, while rest will be built in Romania. That was why Oshkosh left the tender months ago as well, because US doesn't let US owned vehicles...
I did that calculation when we first saw the wrecks months ago. We can burn plenty of drones. Thousands of soldiers in Iraq or daily sorties by jets and tens of helicopters easily peak over drone costs.
We don't know if they were shot down, how or how many. So far I still only saw 4 over a 8...
In the case of a Baykar visit, their HQ campus being in Istanbul tho, it's a two stop visit. ROKAF chief visited Turkey to meet with TurAF chief in Ankara and then met with TSK chief. After that they probably took a plane ride to Istanbul to visit Baykar and left for their next destination or...
I gave it a try expecting to be unhappy with it when it first came out but it was pretty awesome so thanks!
Hopefully they have some flashbacks back to past, child Rhaenyra's actor was spectacular.
And they made a trailer each for two sides, that's great :D
