There were some rumors that Turkey would get 4 Ukrainian An-124 cargo planes in return for 18 TB2.
EDIT: The rumor also said that the planes will be leased to Turkey for 30 years, pretty much like for life.
My suggestion is to use an existing tank landing ship to carry the rocket to coasts of Somalia and wheel it to a pier on a small coastal island and launch space rockets from there.
You are simply bullshitting.
For every life taken from our side we have taken more than a hundred.
Russians do no even confront us anymore.
If you still look for revenge you lose.
I am saying this as a Turk who was in the army school once.
We are not fools.
You have a point, but then we can come up with a new design that combines best of both worlds.
We will still have to consider engine options and availability though.
I don't think we should be able to carry very heavy single piece payloads like tanks but smaller weight.
It should have more of...
As Ukraine can be considered to be out of the game for decades we should bite the bullet and make our own cargo plane from scratch. This project can be started once the design of the TFX is completed. I am more biased to making a multi role plane that can also be used as a tanker and passenger...

That's how nations protect the interests of their people.
We can still see how attached Greeks are to Türkiye. I won't be surprised when Greece stops bickering with Türkiye when we are over 90% self reliant in technology. Greece only lacks a good amount of Muslim population. Even Armenia can follow suit.

This is a big opportunity to start the beginning of the dominance of Turkish defense sector in the middle east. While Russia is down and the west is unfriendly and at a time when Türkiye is ready to unleash its defense sector products out the doors there will be fast paced developments from here...
On the contrary it is wise to sell our older generation weapons systems to Egypt with many favorable consequences.
We make money
We prevent sales of competing products
They become dependent on us for those systems and future versions
People of the country becomes friendlier

Aluminum, titanium, carbon composite, steel and magnesium are widely used in aviation structural parts. There are occasions where these materials may have similar performance and be used interchangeably. It will largely depend on what kind of agility will be expected from the plane. I think they...
