Atatürk predicted that in 100 yesr or so tarikat, cemaat and such groups would blame him for being anti islam. Those same people were the reason for the fall of Osmanli and Selcuklu.

I imagine that the US might end up leaving some of the gear behind if not most if they reach some kind of a deal no matter how small it is. They have to start churning up some butter. I think the border fence, that was started is still progressing. Though I know the border is quite long and the...

You mean Pakistan. 😀 The road is long, and the treatement Pakistan has received would require herculean task and admissions by US. Pakistan isn’t going to even bother with US if it means China reduces their support even a fraction. So it’s a lost game imo.

I didn’t know Rafale didn’t have US parts. So it’s pure French with some EU parts ? But still it’s quite a lot for a jet. Who in Africa can match Egypts armed forces ? I doubt Ethiopia would be able to muster much against even Russian jets. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

I am still worried over the tolerated feto in Turkey. Just because they change allegiance doesn’t mean they won’t stab us in the back. I second that a president candidate must also have a military rank of noteworth.

We should hope that they’re radical and highly vocal about their intentions.

I wonder if first step to regain trust is/could be granting permission for export of ATAK to Pakistan. An option since the US is atm too far away from any direct dealing with Pakistan (IMO, but I haven't kept track of any dealings so I may be wrong in my assumption).

I am not well versed in Afghan politics, or the influence of the countries it's bordering. I do not imagine that Iran is interested in a strong/stable Afghanistan. Am I wrong.

Exactly my thought. quad on each wing would be somewhere around 160-200 kg right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAM_(Smart_Micro_Munition) Everything in me says it should be possible when I look at that photograph.

I'm just glad that they've begun churning out Hürkus. I hope that we'll see them with domestic engine too not too far into the future. (Preferably next month or so). https://www.tusas.com/urunler/ucak/ozgun-gelistirme/hurkus

https://www.c4defence.com/kf-xin-yeni-musterisi-misir-olabilir/ Says in the article that Egypt is preparing to expand cooperation level with SK. @Philip the Arab do you think that Egypt is ready for cooperation of such level ? I imagine that the money will be provided by UAE, or KSA. But when...
