We dont have to turn every thread into: I wonder what the Greeks are saying. It does add nothing to the discussion, further posts that derail the thread and add no substance will be deleted.

We're kinda in the same boat with TF-X, initially planned as an air superiority fighter and later the plans were changed. One more reason to be less ha-ha and more understanding.

Sharing anecdotal evidence, of an F35 and then arguing that the product is a failure, is like seeing one BMW SUV burning and then claiming all of them are shit. No opinion on the F35 but that's a weak argument.

Ever since I watched this Youtube video about the impressive Logistics of the US, I wondered where we stand from a logistics standpoint. We all saw how important logistics are when the Russians had to abandon hundreds of vehicles in Ukraine because they couldnt refuel them or how their...

Please everyone watch your language, personal attacks will not be tolerated and will lead to warnings.

This is good, but I wonder how much of that was influenced by cheap labour costs and how much higher it could have been with more stability in the country. Look at Poland or Germany, which is a country that is pretty expensive energy and labour wise, and how much they got.

Easier to successfully start a space company with billions in the pocket from the taxpayer, existing infrastructure and NASA engineers. Step by step, no rush.

No, I support Ukraine, not the west. Its as easy as that. You're free to share your opinion but please everyone stick to the topic.

Good news would be a short-sighted view on these developments. Its patching up at best issues that shouldnt be there in first place and is causing dependencies on countries that you don't want. What if they decide to withdraw their money on short notice one day?

Sorry that made me laugh. I was there during the Earthquake in 1999 and my sister was on the toilet and thought I had dropped something because the ground was shaking. That was in Manisa, so far away from the epicenter but still scary. Many people slept on the streets that day.

Are our new air defence platforms not used at the bases inside Syria and border towns?

Because meetings, congresses and business forums take place in different places from time to time.

If this is the softening up bombardment leading to foots on the ground, we're not bombing hard enough.

The only constant thing in the ME is, that there is no such thing as stable or reliable. The ME is for business, not for strategic partnerships.

Thats a government funded project with guaranteed income. You can guesstimate that you're going to break even and eventually turn a profit. Gas is economically speaking easier than semiconductors. I'm not discouraging, just saying that many countries and companies tried but unlike with gas it...

Good news: the best translation service in the world has recently introduced Turkish https://www.deepl.com/translator Usually years ahead of Google Translate.

Semiconductors require billions of € of investment, R&D and human resources. Maybe Arcelik or Turkey as a whole could start with mature nodes, but even that requires billions and even then success is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, are a bet worth taking if Arcelik would go for it.

Meloni is not really a friend of France and/or Macron. But dont expect to much. https://www.politico.eu/article/italy-president-sergio-mattarella-calm-giorgia-meloni-fight-france-emmanuel-macron-migrants/
