If you like the government, TAI is seen as susceptible to political change. Baykar is much more durable in that regard. If you don't like the government, Baykar is susceptible to political change, and TAI is better in that regard. Diversification seems good in both situations, only negative...

I totally dig that look. Great art!

There's not enough people that wants to emulate the values of the republic who would also fight. Same thing with Kurds and Turkmen in North Iraq. I would also like to see Türkmeneli realized, but there's not enough Turkmen who would fight for it. This is true for all sides on this war. For Assad...

This much concentration might be a problem. I'm thinking a portion of it might house an EW suite if that's a problem. And it can be smaller. In fact, putting something similar but way smaller on the back of a pickup truck would be much more preferable IMO.

Gangs are predominantly a Kurdish thing. They have large families, political connections, familiar with how the law works, have international connections.

Is it really bad, or is it just the new guy shaking things up?

It's a debatable number, but the government refuses to audit the numbers of illegals, so noone really knows. Syrians are at least 4 million, and others are easily another 4. Another 4 to 5 million live in Idlib and other areas under Turkish control, former interior minister (the bald one) said...

I bet it's related to street dogs issue. Some crazy dog worshipper abducted a literal rabid dog from Urfa and released it in Ankara. People are up in arms about it. When you couple that with the level of IQ a regular Turkish Twitter user has, you get this stupidity.

John Oliver is a joke. His entire thing is ridicule and laugh track. That particular format is for conditioning the viewer to disregard and disbelieve dissidents against western ideology. He's a worm. Jon Stewart is just a bit better but still equal to, say, a rodent in my eyes. These people...

They would produce blockbuster movies about how obliterating those villages made their soldiers sad.

I agree to an extent, but you can't deny western joint development programs -without the US at the helm- generally end up more expensive, too late, and often fail to satisfy the users.

When I speak about this, the parameters of the engagements are narrower than what you think. This stuff is not for warring with the US or even Greece in 2030. Anyone with a decent stealth fighter squadron would clearly make this concept useless, or at the very least, greatly limit its...

I believe Kızılelma is tied with KAAN as the most promising Turkish aviation project to date. Not because it's better, but because there is a chance that Kızılelma will have vastly superior conops design and easier production. It will sell like crazy. Just needs one A2A kill and floodgates will...

Pride goeth before fall. There is a non-zero possibility of YPG "pulling a rabbit out of the hat" in the near future. Sure, it seems impossible, but is it really? What if they somehow find an effetive countermeasure to our drone fleet? What if they mount a successful resistance campaign that...

I don't like a lot of things that happens in my country. I might be somewhat radical but I believe my general assessment of the world is grounded on reality. But I don't gleefully celebrate the bad news. It's understandable if you joke around a few times, but to do this consistently over the...

Well it seems like the truth is you get a hard on being curmudgeon at best, or geniunely hate Turkey at worst. My honest opinion is you are from some small ethnic group with a blood feud with Turks (like assyrian or something), larping as political opposition.

Nevşin Fongü tier argumentation. I can't go 2 hours without getting a notification of you celebrating something bad that happened to this country. You seem to take a great deal of pleasure from this. Truly a twisted mind... Are you a descendant of the sword leftover peoples perchance? The amount...

Either that or they backed out in some other way. Like slow work, find excuses etc. Just like how their embargoe aren't embargoes. Most of the time they don't say "we won't sell this or that to you", they say "you must pay 10 times the money, delivered 10 years late, for 20 years out of date...

While I agree that availability and maintenance is a huge problem, you have to concede that F-35 is a freaking monster when it works. If you even have only one fleet battle ready, it can make a huge difference. Not accepting that would be to delude ourselves. With all the crazy computing power...
