I think we should expel the ambassadors after the Biden-Erdo talks and immediately start a big operation in north Syria. BTW reportedly all of the commanders of the Turkish-backed groups are in TR at the moment.
Land forces and SSB wrote the requirements around 2009-2010 I guess. There were no Syrian civil war and widespread use of ATGMs etc. Land forces always thought that the tanks will be utilized on the field and open terrain and the Hizbullah-Israel conflict is a special case so they wanted good...
Probably because they were writing the requirements for an MBT for the first time. Armor thickness was also less than ideal. The tank had no capability to launch barrel-fired laser-guided missile capability. No periscopic sight and situational awareness system. This is why Otokar offered an AHT...
Altay is designed taking into account the requirements of the land forces. You should ask that question directly to land forces. Every term and requirement was written in the design contract(from the thickness of the armor to acceleration rate, how much ammo is going to be carried, what will be...
This is what stabilization is
Leotay prototype has no stabilization when it was demonstrated. The turret is welded to the bottom part. There are gears between the turret and the bottom part that makes them turn independently. You can find such a solution in older tanks that don't have real...
Lol, it is not just related to the price of manpower. This is how we produce them cheaply. All those little subsystems are magnitudes cheaper compared to their foreign counterparts and paid in Turkish liras.
Well, when you are TR you have to find a way around embargoes. TSMC for example can stop delivering Turkish-designed chips If the US comes with an order. Currently, TSMC is producing some Turkish-designed FPGAs and RiscV based processors. All of them use legacy old process nodes. Malaysia might...
True but the US has a lot of things to lose in the long term like its world hegemony. Once it is gone countries will get in line to kick the US in the balls. On the other hand, TR will be here and can crush a PKK state in Syria or Greek ambitions anytime we are not going anywhere.
How do you...
Ukrainian engine (AL-450) loses a lot of power at high altitudes. A new engine is needed that satisfies the power envelope at higher altitudes(above 40k feet). Bigger and better EO systems are also needed. There comes in the new Aselflir-600.
No new news. Troops are waiting for the order and artillery bombings and UAV missions are increased. SNA is also getting ready. Troop reshuffling and inspections are happening on their side.
Well, TB2s are selling like dirt. Every other day we are hearing countries are either ordering Turkish defense products or asking for info. So pls explain how in the earth we are producing a TB2 for 1-1,5 million $ and Atmaca a cutting edge anti-ship missile for 500k $.
What thoughts? Erdo has a plan. Lower the value of TL and cut the interest rates so borrowing TL will become easier. Hopefully, this will increase exports and lower imports as local producers will look to use local components in their products(Rather than buying radar altimeter from Canada...
It depends. Turkish national contribution to the defense needs is realized at %71 this year, It will happen at %73 next year, the 2023 forecast is %75 and the 2024 forecast is %77. By 2025 %80 of the defense needs will come from national producers. So we will be paying more Turkish liras and...
