Turkey, or any other country for that matter, currently does not recognize Taliban as the sovereign ruler of Afghanistan. We also don't sell weapons to non UN recognized entities, so I don't see weapons sales on the horizon before Turkey recognizes Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
To add to this, the call happened just before Netenyahu met with the South Cypriot PM. Israeli minister says the call was made in line with Bibi's office, so not another diplomatic fuckup like in Libya.
Netenyahu was set to visit Turkey before he underwent an operation last month and now...
I remember the one. Was it HD and on TRT tho? I think not.. :)
Listening to extremist drivel on twitter, you'd think Ebrar is a traitor heathen hellbent on destroying our country. Girl literally cried her heart out when singing the national anthem and before that was telling the Italian coach...
I'm thinking, Hürjet will see more export success as a light fighter in the future than a LIFT trainer for this exact reason. Sale of trainer aircraft nowadays also brings manuals and more importantly flying school "memberships" alongside. TAI being part of the international test pilot school is...
Don't think we should go down that rabbit hole. That's clearly dumbing down for the audience and actual meaning is "high tech exports are better than fruits." No need to read too much into it.
Ebrar Karakurt in her erkek midir kadın mıdır bilmem shewolf form did more for this country than 1000s of men combined. Have some respect, have some dignity.
She has it tough as an LGBT Turkish nationalist. Islamists hate her because who she is, Kurdish nationalists hate her because she doesn't...
ÖKK could be an interesting tester of such a platform. A KMC-U on a Pars 6x6, armed with UMTAS-GMs and Sungur.
And there's a precedent, so could be an easier sell to our dinosaurs.
Even using Kaplan STA as a starting point for a standoff support system was a huge step that surprised me. We know they worked in implementing Cirit a decade ago on ACVs and fixed pedestal mounts. You are right that it was a starting point. An AA-AG mix though, employs two different class of...
There's no way to know this. It's not even clear if the system is physically in Morocco. We all saw the export news in 2021 but until this year, MİT was very hush hush about the whole complex. I'm not buying it until I see the system deployed in Morocco.
AFAIK, not for the trainer role. I'm thinking this is the HvKK giving an olive branch to TAI, to not repeat the Hürkuş blunder. 4 production variants for testing and 12 options to replace the 12 NF-5s of Turkish Stars. I think that 12 number is just that. No mention for the trainer role, yet.
It seems to be heading this way. T925 is not possible for frigates. Unless we get more Seahawks, it'll be T625 for the navy. Ant it will have to be a specialized version as well.
Specialized naval helis are damn expensive and are very complex. It'll be a hard task.
Per Sünnetçi, first 3 for...
