KC-135R will be in service for next 15 years. Guess Air force is not in a hurry.
After 15 years our Airforce can/will look quite diffrent from what we have now with possibly totally diffrent requirements.
But who knows we may even start fantasizing about small unmaned stealth ASENAs
very interesting topic
-MMU and KE should be able to see the same battlefield picture i.e a common enhanced situational awareness
- not the pilot but MMU itself should be able to share and exchange data (or periodic data updates depending on the situation) with KE I mean all sorts of data...
As a mater of fact F 35 is a marvelous piece of technology no doubt about it but still it is more like jack of all trades, unsatisfactory or barely sufficient payload capacity at best for both for Air to Air and Air to ground missions for now. However, MMU will excel in almost all mission types.
a true milestone for Turkish aviation industry, an industry which is still maturing around MMU. Quite frankly it can be considered as an exceptional case for the world aviation as well since for many arond the world TFX project was so unexpected and so unbelivable that they doubt it. Turkish...
wirdest things abour presidantial ellection
-Mansur Yavaş the most logical and popular choice can not be a candidate

Quite true , but it seems that they have plenty of 60 mm, 82 mm and 120 mm heavy mortars and as @Relic posted they are getting 120mm mortar rounds as a part of new military aid
-so true instead of wasting money on M48 My opinion is testing may be a few PARS 4x4 in the role of unmaned reconnaissance & anti tank or most importantly for the near future unmaned Land vehicles which may supplement the role of infantry support for the tanks. Guess in the near future auto...
another intersting thing is eventhough Hürjet has half the range of a F 16 still it's range is 400 km more than T 7 red hawk and T 50 and it was stated that it will have air refueling capability.
