How about using Kemankeş, or a similar munition with a laser illuminator ? A parachuted TR-122 is a ballistic missile with a different payload, and this completely redefines its mission. Similarly, why not send ten Kemankeş to the front lines and launch laser-guided missiles continuously...
I don't think hundred year alliences can be put away that easy.
I don't really know to be honest, did we ever have bad relationships with Pakistan since the Republic was found ? I mean both countries have been ruled by parties with very different opinions in the last 102 years. We were allies...
Who will they get 5/6th gen jets from ? Chinese jets won't protect them forever because they are allies only because of India. What if China builds good relationships with India ? There's no single country other than Turkiye and China to sell them those jets and we're their historical ally...
As I stated in my post just above yours, F-35's in low numbers do not risk our security. Instead, it is a strategic weapon in good days (with US) and no problem for bad days because it is not the main force. And don't forget it won't make a shit for them to use kill-switch or spare part network...
I guess TAF and TurAF thinks bigger as they should. 40 EF's, 40 F-16's and 40 F-35's. This strengthens our hands ideally.
150+ 4th gen fighter with a good low-high balance. 40 F-35's added to more than 200 Kaan's. F-35's as strategic weapons as long as US with us as it is in small numbers and...

Second picture from the bottom.
I don't know about a B-21'ish project from TAI and I don't think we're at that level yet. Only 3 countries in the world uses big ass bombers.
But I would be glad to hear some news...
I'll answer because no one did in the last 24 hours but keep in mind, I'm way away from being an expert in cavitation or propulsion technologies.
My answer would be why not ? It would greatly limit the area for the payload bay of the capsule but it should be possible.
I don't know who he is and I will try to drop a neutral comment for his statements.
What he says is the F-35's can't be taken off by a so called "kill-switch" but if you pay attention to the way he says, the meaning will particularly change. He states that the F-35's can't be grounded...
Uhmmmm......???
It's starting to get awkward. Will it have VLS or not ?? First it was not going to have any. Then it was speculated that it will. And then we saw this ASFAT scaled model. I don't remember no changes to be rumored after so shouldn't it have them ?
I'd like you to watch this video it's good summary (I hope you know Turkish there's only auto-translate option in subts if you don't.):
4.30-5.05 espacially important
Also this video for a wider sum:
This one also shows the reasons why Hitler used to hate them. Their influence in trades...
Is it ? B2's first test has been made in 2023. It's already been 2 years and it will be delivered this year. We know they were working on ABM capability since B1. I wouldn't put my bet on "years away". It could be ready until we deliver launchers to possible customers. Who makes deals for...
The UK ? May or may not depends on their win/loss calculations
Italy ? Close ties for decades
Japan ? Strategic ally
We have no direct conflict of interest with these 3 nations and I think neither Japan nor the UK would keep us away or listen to the Greek lobby after they faced a new world...
I don't know the exact answer but the first TB-2 retired at 11th year. So if they're determined to acquire EuroDrone, they will still need a system until it's ready and Akıncı's are perfect fit. It can easily fill the gap of Reaper/EuroDrone and it can do more if they're aiming to change the...
It was told by most defence experts for the Altay program. It's not my own saying.
Why don't you check shares of forces in the US military budget ? They're managing fairly equal powered forces with equal budgets. Only countries like the UK does not fit this because they don't have any...
TAF wants to replace all tanks in the inventory. I have no doubt for new purchases after the first batch is delivered. Big armies like us gives almost equal budgets to all forces as possible unless it has a special condition like the UK. And when equal budgets are given to the forces, it's easy...
I didn't say it was your point. I gave an opposit idea of mine to 'a part' of your post and than I said I got your point 'anyways' to show that I am not disagreeing with all your thoughts on the post but a part of it.
