Interesting view from ret. Adm. Cem Gürdeniz on the future role of Philippines. Where AFP is expected to provoke China and divert its attention from Taiwan.

ORIGINAL FACADE FOR THE USA WEST...
Well, let me just remind you that overflight and such. Pretty much depends on wordings. E.g. No international court or auch has recognized the 10 air mile range greece claims. So biden can promise that they’ll keep an eye on that international approved border overflights are monitored etc.
that...
why from SBB and not from FM ? Aren't our FM suppose to be the one to react first on these statements ?
Is it because it was an under secretary that floated the idea ?
As it was mentioned earlier Hürjet is a project by TAI (private venture), and if Hürjet is to progres further and faster it's necessary to have some orders in the book already.
As you pointed out currently the experience from the Hürjet that is flying is likely being used for KAAN. But imo that...
You mentioned earlier that Hürjet should have started earlier. I was thinking wouldn't we gain valuable knowledge and knowhow from starting production of Hürjet (light armed configuration/trainer jet). That could be useful for KAAN.
My point is that Hürjet has already flown, so we'd progres...
TuAF fleet of jets are old. An considering we’re 79 of them needs an upgrade kit I’d say their usefulness is not very high. Those that are in the Özgür program are similar.
So how many F-16 do we actually have that we’re happy with ?

240 of the...
I disagree, it all boils down to what armament Hürjet can have and the max load it can carry.
It annoys me greatly that there aren't any news about Hürjets payload and wiki and it's source reference is the closest we get.
if it can carry 2x Air-to-Ground bombs and have short range A2A...
Aren't you assuming that there are countries willing to sell to us in case we need them ?
I was thinking that if we keep the current types we have and get new ones as well. We'd have a more mixed and expensive maintenance issue, but it would be better for us.
F-16
KAAN
Hurjet
F4 (or it's...
TuAF needs to have at least 800-1000 combat jets (UAVs etc. not included), imo. Doesn't matter if their life expectancy can be extended or not. We should always ensure to have production lines filled with our orders.
Failing to ensure that is not an option.
That said, as I said previously I...
Why wait for MMU? Hürjet light attack configuration should be implemented and orders be made already.
we should make and have as much experienced pilot on them as possible.
ordering 100 engines should be prioritized compared to the F-16 purchase.
Let that be a test to see if US truly wants to...
I don’t understand why TuAF just doesn’t order 100 Hurjet, sign the deal and lock it. The configuration doesn’t fucking matter anymore.
If TuAF is forced to fight with paperfly they’ll fucking fight with it and make it work!
This can't happend fast enough imo. But it would have been good to have a good news network to spread news more and wider. Especially if YPG has signed an agreement with Russia as the tweet mentioned.
I am not familiar with rules and such for putting out buoysfor scientific purpose.
But assuming that nations respect civilian research project in cooperation with universities and other institutions that share common goal.
it would be necessary to work on a business plan. Find sponsors or...
Perfect now we just need a company with sonobuoy experience to create a network of CTD in Mavi Vatan. It’s important to keep an eye on the well being of the sea and seabed etc.

Not to forget the growing tarikats in Turkey. They’re imo indirect helping hand to Iran. So it’d be in our interest to have kill teams that just snuff them out. Dead people can’t cause trouble, complainers can be silenced and the rest will be monitored and dealt with accordingly.
The situation...
