Which aircrafts are considered? I think we shouldn't buy aircrafts with jet-engines are not suitable to mountainous area. I think CL-415 or 515 would be good but afaik their production rate are really slow.
Yeah, it's rented to $50M for 25 years. Now BMC is building everything produced in Tank palet and sell them with revenue. They are not doing it because they love the country so much. This is business. So no, they can't be given an unfair treatment. Maybe for the things they are tasked for tank...
Why would even BMC produce Fırtına II, when Tank Palet was doing it their own? Now money goes to BMC instead of staying at state. And utku development doesn't required Tank Palet, they could do it their own factory where they do the production of Kirpi etc. Tank Palet is given them to produce...
If there is a killswitch why would Israel be against F-35. If I would be Israel, I'd like that Turkey would invest in F-35 rather than any other platform. In case of war just use the killswitch. Then your enemy doesn't have any other optıon :D
Officially they both have 40k ft. max altitude. But not sure payload affects this. And I am not sure speed really matters for MIT. They would use that for observation and intelligence gathering and I assume endurance would be more valuable.
Are you sure about that? AFAIK they are separate systems and competing with each other.
