I dont think there was ever a doubt if we could, more so wether we should. An aircraft carrier is extremely expensive to maintain and crew. I dont think we should consider it until we have a working MMU that could be navalised if the need is there.
I really dont want to be 'that' guy in spoiling everyone's excitement and fun but this is pretty pointless and stupid imo. Where do i start with this. Whats the point in developing a Leopard modernization that looks to be far more expensive, non-modular and time consuming to make. The Firat...
Wait they actually purchased JF-17's? I though they merely showed interests and were mostly rumors. Azerbaijan armed forces have become really capable already and now its even getting better.
I think the initial batch should be German MTU engine and transmission for the simple reason that it will take time for our BATU powerpack to mature properly. We are in desperate need for new additions of both APC's and Tanks. It still hurts to see our soldiers use plain M60's and M48's.
There is no such thing as a Caliphate dream or even something stupid as "Neo-Ottomanism", i dont like to defend Erdogan but this false narrative haunts the mind of Europeuns and Americans alike for whatever reason. This is simply Turkey naturally and organically projecting power by its very...
It never seemed like vehicles that would be used regularly anyways. Doesnt take a genius to see that nearly every type or form of flyings cars never have the neccesary safety nets or precautions within them to justify production or commercial use. They are nice demonstrators that can give use...
Emirates should do what they always do, spent some goddamn paper to buy our loyalty back. If they can shit out money for Haftar then they should be ready to compensate for years of aggresive and direct opposition towards Turkey, possibly costing the lives of many of our soldiers and allies. I...
Its depressing to know these machines are restricted from reaching their full potential. I never even knew that the entire Egyptian fleet of 200 F-16's also had the same restrictions and lack of BVR capability. No wonder the Egyptians went on a shopping spree, they tried to make up for decades...
I was watching this video about the YF-23 Stealth fighter(absolutely love the design) and was surprized to see our "air-to-air missile" made it into the video at 11:15 xD
Those rust buckets always are a eyesour in Marine photos. It just sticks out like a sour thumb uugh. I mean atleast use Leopard1's or something, perhaps regular M60 even but why the ancient M48's. Is it because of the weight? In that case Altay is not a good replacement and we might aswell opt...
I wouldnt mind to buy around 2 squadrons worths of Eurofighters if the price is right. If not then there is no point considering more F-16's or even Hurjet is far better option considering our situation. Either way having dedicated air-to-air fighters jets is neccesary at some point and the...
Any particular reason why Algeria has such a powerfull military? I mean there doesnt seem to be many regional threats to Algeria and its overkill for assymetric threats such as terrorists.
The Iranians have laid claim to countless Azerbaijani empires, states, traditions and people for many years now. The entire reason Iran is even Shia is because of the Safavid empire whom were Azeri Turks. They go that extra mile and even say Nader Shah is Iranian/Persian. You are active at...
Thats because Erdogan in his core is merely a populist. He has dabbled in practically all idealogical spectrums to gain support from people that are disillusioned with their parties of choice. If anything its the opposition that keeps Erdogan in power and its the reason why people keep voting...
