    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    US spent billions in RAM research alone over 5 decades and still continue to do so. F-35 is their 4th stealth get and they already rolled out their 5th one (B-21) recently.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    SAAB's promos are the best in my opinion. Baykar's promos are too 'emotional' and usually depends on excessive uses of musics/songs. And The documentary style follows culturally an Eastern trend where emotional aspect of a collective success story is overrepresented in certain ways compared to...

    Even though it wasn't that strong it was only 16km away from capital. Which is really bad, because experts has been estimating for sometimes an earthquake of 7.5/8 magnitude is inevitable. God forbide if it happens that close to the capital, 1 million casualties would be a very conservative...

    Which one? Previously we gave them Chittagong port for extraordinarily low fees. Bangladeshi importers has to pay more in customs than Indian transit shipments. Doesn't sound like a good decision. It should've been the other way around. Don't you think? And that Adani deal was a complete...

    It is more of a foreign policy matter. But since you already posted it, i will leave my comment here. Playing hardball with Turkey/Erdogan the way author is suggesting, is only going to backfire on the West from multiple different angles. Turkey w/o NATO and NATO w/o Turkey is Almost like...

    I disagree, Ukraine war is actually 75% artillery 25% spotter drones. Armed drones like TB-2 Made a fuss in first few month than disappeared. And artillery became ever important. Also given BAF's indeginous drone is almost ready why should we spend Millions of dollars on similar class...

    Bangladesh Army Bangladesh Army To Procure Short, MALE & HALE UCAV

    It says Army want to standardize UAVs. Does it means it will come in significant numbers? Also, is this even should be the priority right now? Looks like they are more concerned with procuring equipments for UN missions than prioritizing the items for actual needs.
