Let's stay on topic about our defence programs and move the discussion about who or what it will be needed against to the geopolitics thread.

I think there's one thing that we shouldn't forget between all the bad things that have happened between Turkey and the US. There is still a big block of politicians, senators, high ranking people in the Pentagon that know that our relations matter. There's more to the US-Turkish relations than...

Damn they really know which buttons to push for the American market.

Current Account deficit going down probably because of the mild winter (less gas consumed) and unexpectedly well tourism, because Europeans are settling in Turkish hotels instead of paying the high gas prices at home. Regardless, good for the economy for once.

That's exactly why this thread, while it has its right to exist, mostly attracts unnecessary rumours and bashing. Might be time to close it or to move posts that are not really on topic to the US subforum or to a relevant F35 thread.

The moment we would get the F35 again, 80-90% of the negative posts would turn positive. As others have mentioned, its basically F35 bashing at this point. While everyone that can gets the F35 some posters are busy with finding minor unfunded articles to post to bash a plane that has its...

And we are to believe a military blogger that all these countries: Gave away billions of € and their sovereignty to the US? Except for just random bloggers, the only other post I found that mentions anything like it is this Quora post, which explains it and seems reasonable that passwords...

No thats not an excuse. Even the Soviet Union managed to buy semiconductor technology from the UK.

What the country needs is technocrats, science based decision-making. We have a solid industry base but most of them are low level/margin exports.

Seems like nobody is talking about the MMU engine tender any more, and TEI sounds confident that they know they will get the deal.

We're late to the party, but TSMC and UMC Number 1 and 3 in the world based in Taiwan have both started as: 1. Government research institute was funded for R&D 2. Technology was bought abroad 3. They got it running 4. Spin off as a private or partly private company. It can be repeated and...

We dont have a single fab, and you seriously want to talk about building your own Lithography machines. That includes not only the machine itself but also the Zeiss Optics, Triumpf lasers and that's only scratching the surface. Semiconductors are not like defence equipment, there is a lot of...
