How is it looking at the budget side of things? Can you inform us about the cost? I believe the main money sink on the ship is actually the armaments and munitions. Do we look good on that front?
First of all, ew gross. Second, they introduced Turks as slave soldiers. We took over the entire Islamic civilization two generations after the fact.
And to tie the two topics together, you can basically match Abbasid Caliph's response to Crusades with Gulf countries today an how they react to...
I'm not writing this to be an annoying contrarian, but if there was a region wide popular mobilization, I can see Israel being defeated conventionally. We don't know how Israel can actually deal with an actual naval blockade of Red Sea and Mediterranean or Turkish pipelines, let alone a proper...
I expected Hezbollah to put up more of a fight, but they are getting ragdolled before the battle even started it seems. All of their vaunted missile arsenal amounts to sporadic and ineffective bombing of random places. Their high command got wiped out. And what did they achieve? Nothing.
Yet I...
Good people of defencehub, I'm putting together a video on Turkish operations into Syria. I don't have the editing skills to do flashy animations so it's basically going to be slideshow. Think of a cross between these two videos.
With regards to the stuff I want to cover, Leo2 losses in...
This might be a completely idiotic question but I have to wonder; Can Hürkuş fulfill the role of a command plane? Directing a networked team of KE and Anka-III seems like a good use for it. I'm certainly not an expert on how that would happen, or would it even worth it. But I wonder.
Lebanese army serves the very important role of giving out rank and positions in accordance with secterian and tribal affliations so possibility of another civil war will be kicked down the road.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Ukraine is not the best showcase to determine how suitable weapons systems are for Turkish Armed Forces. That conflict is fought basically without any side having air superiority. Any conflict we go in will probably not be an aerial tug-of war. It's going...
It seems to me that Turkish Coast guard commanders have a "makine soğuk" mindset. Zero agency, zero risk taking. Just smarmy memur types trying to curry favors with their superiors and salary collectors.
Is this viable for military use? I am really ignorant when it comes to radars, but it seems legit enough. If so, integrating some kind of sensor capable of utilizing starlink (or future fergani) signals would be a good addition to steel dome.
I always believed 100+ F35 was too much. I believe if there is an opening, one larger squadron or two small ones will be bought. Just the conops improvement we would get would be a very beneficial thing. KAAN's design would also be positively affected by this.
If the Americans don't even try...
Doing this on a massive scale requires long term planning and consistency. The government were trying to make peace with large concessions given to PKK just 10 years ago. Same with FETO. We started this war 10 years ago. Israelis never stopped fighting since 40s.
Other than that look for how...
Kozan Selçuk Erkan mentioned the indian air defense systems Armenia bought were not networked. Only one system was bought so far AFAIK. That's a big problem. One has to consider Armenia is very small and dirt poor. I don't think they can pull a rabbit out of the hat when it comes to rearmament...
I think certain interest groups in western countries actively work towards another Sevres. This seems far away for now, but we are closer to it than 2004. They are still laying the foundation for it.
The most logical method they would use:
Seize a moment of crisis (may be Aegean dispute...
