Unless TB3 is moving forward with a skeleton crew due to KE and other ventures, I gotta say this has been really lackluster. First taxi being just last week is just weird to me. I wonder if there’s another reason for it.
We only have 5 Yalmans in service. I think they were a small mixmash program to give standoff capability for frontline units and are separate from the STA program which I think is now complete? As they used American made FLIRs, more couldn’t be made. After Aselsan’s latest news more are expected...
Unmanned systems do give a new layer or tool of brinkmanship to governments even when you discount the warfare usage. US shooting down Turkish Anka, Iran capturing and releasing US USVs, Iran shooting down US RQ-4. Responses to all these incidents or even accepting the mission risks and sending...

Given two choices between both Iran and Turkey having nukes or not, Turkey will choose neither having it. We don't want a nuclear Iran and just getting your own nuke doesn't stop a nuclear Iran going apeshit in the region...
Boat part is the most visible part but it's possibly the cheapest part of the equation. It could be miniaturized further in the future for a "born kamikaze" platform rather than an Albatros which is made to carry mission gear.
Read this sentence again slowly please. Fuck every other person on earth when my family is killed. This is literally the most human response anyone can give.
There will be some low blows but i don't think it will come to that. Turkey has some low level of influence on a part of Hamas. If Israel...
