Q&A with Haluk Bayraktar - Atlantic Council (link ^ ) It seems to me like they are really shooting for the stars, hoping to lead with a truly autonomous unmanned fighter in the long-term. In the near-future though, is it really viable to have an independent unmanned fighter connected to a...

honestly, it would be an exercise in self-flagellation to navigate the separate universe that Indians have sequestered themselves into in regards to the account of this conflict, apart from the rest of the world. It's already fairly clear what perspective the world has drawn on this conflict...

the comments lol: I'm not sure theres any nation that gets away with as much as the French, even here in Canada they have a ridiculous leeway.

The TB2 are game-changing though, not as cutting-edge marvels, but as a democratization of access to UCAVs to deal with low-technology security challenges like guerilla groups. No country exports these drones at the scale of Turkiye afaik. In a conflict at the level of the Pakistan-India...

The 3 engines as per its lead designer Wang Haifeng, are not just for propulsion but to power the extensive on-board EW suite. It is also planned to be/currently capable of supercruise.

Turkish Guns Are Taking Over the U.S. Market (use paywallbuster.com) I think soon we'll start hearing rap songs about the Canik pistol..... May Allah reward these mothers and sisters, playing their part in building your country.

the politics of the arab world is subject to the most aggressive and sophisticated manipulation/interference probably anywhere, due to the Zionist project as well as general proximity to Europe. The Turks were lucky to have mustered the resolve and won some necessary wars to establish...

What do you guys think would the scope for using these Kizilelmas as specialized electronic warfare jets like the Growler? It will have a smaller engine for one, so it wouldnt have the power generation of a typical modern EW jet. If Baykar is able to work the AI up to sufficient competency...

whataboutism is tactic of deflection. I would contend my point is not to confirm or deny the political realities in Turkiye, just to invalidate the whole idea of morality being a factor in arms transactions (in this case the potential EF deal). However Spitfire did demonstrate moral...

In that case you would no doubt want to cease all arms sales to Israel as well correct? You would also want to cease all military-industrial cooperation with France which holds over 90% of the gold reserves of West African countries in the Banque de France, correct? I think you overrate the...

For example, not saying this applies to you, but I wonder how many of the people who claim to confirm Ataturks ideas on society: Firstly, know which enlightenment era philosophers he was inspired by. Then, taking Comte as an example, who was one of the most prominent influences, actually went...

Apply reason, and empirical investigation. Not only towards natural science, but towards society. Compare yourself currently, and Ataturks ideas, against this barometer. He did not mean to start a cult, he meant to stimulate rationality. To replicate Ataturks achievements, the method is not to...

They were more like frenemies, because they shared a belief in the incompatibility of the Christian and Muslim worlds.

The areas to the south of the caspian are the most densely populated within Iran, but if Azerbaijan was to offer those populations the possibility of a secular and representative government while under Azerbaijani military control (perhaps heavily administered by Iranian Azerbaijanis), it may be...

Based on what I've seen from your post history Iskander, I'm sure you yourself would be against the idea. Aliyev however I think would not really care about the Muslim country aspect (based on my current exposure). The practical considerations you mention though are simply fact, and will be a...

I think right now its quite likely that Azerbaijan would coordinate with and support Israel in the event of a direct conflict with Iran. They may not allow direct engagement from their territory, if the probabilities of success are too uncertain, but within managed risk they would try to...

Israel FM calls Erdogan ‘anti-Semitic dictator

A geographically critical position for sure, but two big issues (not speaking exclusively): a) natural resources / energy independence b) access to open ocean The irony is that the Ottomans had by far the dominant hand over the Safavids throughout their history (maybe not always I only learn...

The two that I know from the list are Sachs and Dalio, and that is because they are very famous on social media. Dalio runs the largest hedge-fund in the world, and Dalio has always been very focused on China and Asia. Sachs is an Economics professor and long-time international development...
