I wasn't going to talk more about this but had to share it :D Post she shared on instagram of Atatürk and Sabiha Gökçen is the photo of Gökçen kissing the hand of her father before she was deployed to Tunceli to help suppress the revolt in 1937.
Now, i don't know if she knows the significance...
I think this might be in relation to not Dez but north. Literally nothing to go from, but it's surprisingly silent from big parties to the war except for US. Or the US is going for the border.
We had 150 F-4s and 100 F-5s back in 90s. As well as 200 F-104s in 89. Real drop in numbers that now effects us happened after 2010s. We should have had at least 80-90 F-35s by now.
Drones we have can't currently undertake F-4's roles except for dropping HGKs in COIN ops. In their near retirement old age, they are required to work day and night, because we don't have a substitute.
Don't think this is an event that will lead to fleet being grounded. It's a mature platform with tens of thousands of pages of after service reports on the books. Unless a mass frenzy by populace demands it.
They should have been retired 5-6 years ago already, but again, we don't have any...
Shit event, but mishaps happen. Good that noone was hurt. We have no details but more than likely it was a sloppy connection to the pylon and not related to the aircraft itself.
Presumably the aircraft in question is the one that was on static display for Teknofest Ankara. Maybe people got...
Turkey, or any other country for that matter, currently does not recognize Taliban as the sovereign ruler of Afghanistan. We also don't sell weapons to non UN recognized entities, so I don't see weapons sales on the horizon before Turkey recognizes Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
To add to this, the call happened just before Netenyahu met with the South Cypriot PM. Israeli minister says the call was made in line with Bibi's office, so not another diplomatic fuckup like in Libya.
Netenyahu was set to visit Turkey before he underwent an operation last month and now...
I remember the one. Was it HD and on TRT tho? I think not.. :)
Listening to extremist drivel on twitter, you'd think Ebrar is a traitor heathen hellbent on destroying our country. Girl literally cried her heart out when singing the national anthem and before that was telling the Italian coach...
I'm thinking, Hürjet will see more export success as a light fighter in the future than a LIFT trainer for this exact reason. Sale of trainer aircraft nowadays also brings manuals and more importantly flying school "memberships" alongside. TAI being part of the international test pilot school is...
Don't think we should go down that rabbit hole. That's clearly dumbing down for the audience and actual meaning is "high tech exports are better than fruits." No need to read too much into it.
Ebrar Karakurt in her erkek midir kadın mıdır bilmem shewolf form did more for this country than 1000s of men combined. Have some respect, have some dignity.
She has it tough as an LGBT Turkish nationalist. Islamists hate her because who she is, Kurdish nationalists hate her because she doesn't...
