The same reason US don't sell f22. However, like F35 China is planning to market its j31/35. ( still not confirmed ) Any way, as you said there is zero chance Turkey would go for anything other than western jets.

It is only promised with Siper block ii. Hisar O/ RF and Siper block i performed hit to kill shot in live firing due to their good seeker accuracy. But these were against subsonic targets. To garuntee hit to kill shot ( specially against supersonic/ballistic targets ) you need altitude control...

Sorry?

Until I become CCPs president ( hopefully for life ) there is zero chance China would sell J20 to anyone, let alone Turkey.

Nuh, navy got a job to do at home.

Okay if TBM is included then it would probably make sense. But I don’t think Trisula U would be on per with SAMP T. Aster interceptors has hit to kill capability while Siper block I doesnt.

I am wondering if Eurofighter would cost any less.

Cagri Erhan, a member of the Presidential Security and Foreign Policy Committee, touched upon Turkey's supply of F-16 fighter jets from the United States. Answering the questions of the Russian media, Erhan said, “Turkey should immediately change its decision on the F-16. For example, there was...

That is damn expensive for medium range air defence solutions. Only two battery for $500 million? Even German IRIS-T SLM cost around 140/150 million per battery.

I have to say it was little unexpected. Still, probably just a political statement nothing practical. However, we observe this trend ( so called joint production offer ) gaining momentum around the world. Given the fact that, now small and medium countries has more flexibility in choosing...

Indian high commissioner in Dhaka Pranay Verma on Sunday proposed Bangladesh to develop and produce of defence equipment jointly while inviting Bangladesh Armed forces to benefit from India’s cost-effective and high quality military gears. The envoy also expressed India’s readiness to partner...

@contricusc the whole discussion is getting really interesting here. Just a little fun fact, last year greece was complaining about US jets violating their airspace. So, state department basically told them to just shut the f**k up. Even they thought, having 6 miles territorial water and then...

I guess this is good news.

Carriers are not as much survivable as one might think. Admiral Rickover who also happened to be the 'father of the nuclear navy' in a congressal testimony during 1980s when he was asked, how long US carriers would survive in a full blown war with soviet union he replied, ''48hours, 1 week if...

Why on earth you are telling a sovereign nation to give up its own EEZ rights? And how did you came to the conclusion Turkey is holding Cyprus hostage? I let the Turks here to respond to this.

🙄Have you ever actually read the Article 5? Turkey was very close to the conflict in WW II. Nobody couldn't force their hand to choose side. Countries like Indonesia and even Bangladesh could definitely stay neutral in the military sense if there is a war breaks out between China and USA. Yes...

Irrespective of Erdogan or whoever is in power there are some core geopolitical interests where Turkiye and the West are totally at odd with each other. First and foremost, EEZ dispute between Greece and Turkiye where EU is almost unconditionally stand behind Greek side of the story. In...

Not just what they did, but what they will do again if circumstances arrive. In a multi-polar world there wouldn't that much of issue for so called international support. But if you mean, western support.....Well, non of us believe if something happens to our countries, West will come running...

Okay, found the page. I will look into older reports then.

Actually Russians could offer China SSN tech, by and large only domain where Chinese still lacking behind compared to the other global powers. Fourth gen Yassen SSNs are some of the best in this class. Maybe not completely on per with SEAWOLF or Virginia, But nevertheless good enough. ( Not...
