True. And Egypt is not a problem unless we are invading Egypt.

We shouldn't buy anything at all until MMU. We don't need anything more against Greece and challenging Russia or Israel seems unrealistic. We should make sure that HAF can't be utilized in a war and we have enough assets for this. What we should do is to restructure F-16 squadrons into A-A roles...

BTW the US made some breakthroughs with opposed piston technology. It started as a concept and now it gets closer to production. https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/08/20210803-ace.html Here is a more detailed look from the Cummins PDF...

I doubt we can use Gökdoğan with APG-68. We will probably use Gökdoğan with nationally modernized F-16s with Aselsan AESA radar.

This is not true. The most important metric for military vehicles is the total volume and power/torque per volume(energy density). MTU powerpack is very good because it gives such a big power/torque output from a very compact engine+transmission(powerpack). It means that...

T-629 is not an urgent project according to the latest TUSAS roadmap. It will replace T-129 from 2028 on and plans are made accordingly.

Tümosan engine is a lot better than comparable BMC engines (400HP and 600HP engines). Tümosan Engine Volume= 7.8L Power=540HP (69 HP per liter) Torque=1600Nm (205Nm per liter can give its torque at both low and high RPM) BMC Azra Engine Volume=12.8L Power=600HP (47 HP per liter) Torque= up to...

I'm not against selling the Koral system with precautions. Export software and removal of Turkish threat libraries will do the job. Koral-II is right around the corner. Koral is of course offers a strategic capability no other nation has around us with the exception of Russia(Koral is a full...

EZ Otosan doesn't want to involve in military affairs. Otosan doesn't want to take the risk of getting embargoed or lose its partner Ford and lose 3 billion worth of sales per year. Otosan wants to stay as a purely civilian company. Otosan has no collaboration even with Otokar. Should they work...

You are right it seems like Morocco ordered 13 TB2s. At this point, there is a big waiting line for TB2s. Negotiations are going on with a dozen countries.

A 20 million $ contract is signed for some hydraulic components I don't we should exaggerate this. It is a very low-profile contract. There is no merit in producing every bolt and nuts in a 5th gen fighter.

Ulaq ASW version has a fiber optic acoustic sensor specially designed by METEKSAN for this purpose. But the real capability(signal processing, command, and control, software) will come from the Aselsan-Armelsan workgroup. Think about this MILGEM ASW version(with hull-mounted sonar and towed...

I doubt that. UAE is scheming something again.

There is definitely an interest on the Moroccon side but an export license for LHTEC engines is needed for the export of T-129 Atak. IMO Ejder Yalçın can be sold anytime. Morocco is also interested in acquiringing TB2s.

Turkish perspective of Maghreb is don't delve into the local disputes and concentrate on the big game which means denying any post-colonial imperialist influence over the region. We don't want French, Israeli, Russian, or American influence to dominate the region. We don't really care about the...

Block III comes with an antijamming GPS, improved warhead, and improved INS performance(by %70)

Damn multistatic radar era is close. By the end of this decade, TR will be a monster in the defense industry.

Why not carry it in pieces and assemble it in space. Thanks to Elon Musk this can be a reality. Starship has insane cargo capacity and magnitudes cheaper compared to earlier spacecraft.

Stay strong guys it seems like you are the next target in the Maghreb. Do you think a UAE-backed coup is possible in Algeria? How is the political situation there?
