I never said tone down the current rhetoric beyond direct threats of war. I meant that we should not take for granted just how disastrous a war with Greece would actually be. I meant that we, as a community, should not use the term "war" lightly. Further, that 12 mile expansion is not in the US...

Agreed on the reverse engineering, but a few S-400's can't help against the HAF, which—like it or not—is a formidable air force with an increasingly superior fleet of fighter jets (in comparison to ours). Our F-16Vs will likely arrive by 2027, Bahrain just received theirs a couple of days ago...

I'm pretty sure the F-35A has a cannon. B and C variants don't, but they're carrier capable. I'm kinda tired of people ragging on the F-35, it's an excellent multirole stealth fighter. It's even combat proven at this point (at least according to the IAF). The fact that it's selling like hotcakes...

I think you're right. For these demonstrators, they do occasionally do that. The TurAF is quite picky, and rightfully so, therefore I have no doubt they'd have pointed this out. Further these issues can be resolved relatively quickly since we own all systems, and that's far more critical than...

EDIT: The videos are actually 25 FPS (the standard in Europe, thanks zio for pointing this out) Standard FPS for video journalism is 30. That's the case for the video I shared. In it you can see Ismail Demir's hands moving quite smoothly in contrast to the instruments. Here's a better F-16V...

The screens are fine. The number of frames per second (FPS) on those screens, however, is critical when you're in pursuit of your target and trying to get a suitable firing solution. Every frame counts. While a certain degree of "lag" may be tolerable for the MFDs, the HUD and HMD must be...

Here are ÖZGÜR's cockpit avionics in action: As much as I like to stay positive and supportive of the Turkish defence industry, I think those instruments are unacceptably slow for a highly agile jet fighter. I hope these issues get resolved. For reference, here are the same instruments on the...
