I think the "article 5" of the Mecca defense agreement will only be activated if there is a proper invasion with boots on the ground to take over the capital. Before that nothing big will be done.
The same goes for the NATO article 5, no one will go to war for a couple Ballistic Missiles/drones.
Türkiye must ensure the security of the most important engineers we have, the closer we get to finishing KAAN the more dangerous it probably gets for them.
I don't think I have to convince people here that there are countries in this region that do not want us to achieve this 5th gen fighter jet.
Türkiye will chill all of this out, nothing will pull it into the war, watch and see. But know this Türkiye gets stronger while the region gets weaker.
My thought process regarding the TF-35K IR signature being lower than the F110 engine was because the F35K has higher thrust, which means it can throttle the power output to reach the same speed of 2x F110 engines.
Obviously I could be totally wrong, it's just me guessing and trying to understand.
I can imagine that 2x F35K engines will have an even lower signature than 2x F110 engines. So it's not a given that a bigger fighter jet has automatically a bigger signature. Otherwise how can people explain that the B2 has a lower signature than the F35.
What I want to say is, is that the...
Exactly, when it comes to modern air fights, you have to fight as "cowardly" as possible, which means producing thousands of standoff missiles to decimate the enemy air defenses. After that, drop thousands of GAZAPs on their heads and kill everything on 2 legs.
Türkiye needs a shit ton of bombs/missiles with as much range as possible, the higher the better. Only once you have achieved air dominance you can bomb the enemy with those 20Km+ ammunition. So Türkiye needs alot of that 500KM ALBMs.
