There is a regular on and off NOTAM publications for around Sinop area for about 2 years now.(atleast as far as i remember. Maybe there were Notams before that time as well) These NOTAMs were published for various missile testings so one of those could be for Tayfun missile.
What about Alka? We did shoot down a Chinese drone with it. It seems to be perfect against these suicide drones.
I am thinking either we are keeping it top secret or the energy usage and kill time is not ideal yet.
Unfortunately T1 Eurofighter doesn't haven any ground attack capability so they can't replace the F4. I wonder if we can convert some of our AA F16 fleets to ground attack role and replace the aircrafts in those fleets with Eurofighter T1. This could help I guess but i am not sure. In any way...
At this point we need to buy Eurofighters(with good deal) even if the F16 deal passes. US can't be trusted.
Yes it will be expensive but it is also necessary.
I guess we are not solving our problem economicaly.
If it is possible we should buy Eurofighter(later versions).
In the meantime I hope our decision makers are considering developing a light fighter as well. Hurjet won't be enough and operating all MMU Airforce will be too expensive.
I am gonna admit, when I first watched this my heart skiped a beat when Mr. Karakuş mentions that Phantoms structrual life could last till 2048 :D(Thinking that we are going to use them till that time)
Valid points. We will need a stop gap plane. We can't trust a 5th gen plane development will meet the timelines.
Eurofighter will be expansive as a stop gap(Also has the same problem with the Gripen regarding the multinational parts) and US is really dragging their feet for the F16's.
Gripen...
On paper yes but in reality there will be a couple of problems.
How long do you think will it take Sweden to start problems with the spare parts? Gripen also has lot of parts coming from US, France, Germany etc. Will they provide them any time we need? We need to keep happy all of the...
I guess we are doing that in orther to prevent some countries to getting any funny ideas.
For over a year now we are showing that some old tactics in the Agean won't work anymore. Armies first duty is to act as a deterent and we are doing that.
I don't think we are showing all of our...
I believe Aselsan working on a turret. Nail Kurt from FNSS mentioned something like that when he is explaining the Kaplan project.(Mete Yarar did a video last year with him). They only provided the chasis to Indonesia due to Aselans turret wasn't ready at the time. So we can assume that it is...
Yes but after that the narrative is changed. İbrahim Sünnetçi also suprised by this. Because apparently both of the information(powerpack integration is not going well and it is actually going well) have the same source.
Is this either a misunderstanding or something is changed behind the...
So Altug is still alive. So we are waiting for Altug to be ready.
I hope we are only waiting for Altug to give a chance for BMC to enter competition. Not for giving the project to BMC with a bogus competition.
This happenee a lot unfortunately. Özden Örnek also fought very hard to make Milgem project uncancellable. Not just the ship, before that getting an approval for the Genesis took a lot of time.
There are lot of factors in this. Corruption is being one but back then mindset of the decision...
