Regarding F-16s, it's not about licensing or patents, they hardly matter.
When you buy anything via Foreign Military Sales, US gets a say in how that equipment is looked after. They also get a say in how it's modified, how it's discarded and how it's sold. Any foreign customers for Özgür that...
To Pakistan or Venezuela, if they don't care about catching the ire of US, maybe. If those F-16s were received via FMS, nothing we can do without US approval for others.
Per Israel, US for example simply did not allow Israel to transfer their F-16As to Bulgaria some years back.
Turkey did get the source codes for the Block 30(and I believe also block 40) F-16's from US in 2000s when they were negotiation on the CCIP deal. Özgür is done independently of the US...
:) Testing days..

The venue had to be changed to the secondary point because at the last minute Erzurum municipality wanted to show off their busses for some reason at the exact place Ekrem was to hold his rally. This day made me saw people with flags on their hands be called terrorists and...
Okay, last one as a reply. I know you are smarter than this but you are letting your judgment be clouded, please don't do it to yourself.
No. I watched the thing live because I sensed something was going to happen in the first place today. This footage is well after the stoning had started. You...
Sorry, bull.
This wasn't a real grassroots protest. This wasn't some youngsters showing their disdain. This was a planned provocation from the beginning. All the boundaries you speak of were crossed today when rabid dogs pelted women and kids that had Turkish flags on their hands with stones...
Carrying the topic here to not clutter the Kaan thread.
It won't. Calling Constantinople Istanbul made sense. It was more similar to our language and it was a name already in use by the locals for centuries.
Changing the international spelling from whatever it was in that language to Türkiye...
Yes, we still haven't figured out what really happened. If it was done at any capacity, it was a blight on my country's name. Anything to add on the rest of my points? No?
AKPians throwing stones regarding Iran is just funny, please don't. We literally accept any and all refugees bypassing Iran and happily give Iranian asylum seekers who are being tried with death back to Iran even though by law we are forbidden to do so. Singular clashes here or there does not...
The BRI, the middle corridor/the Caspian Connection, souther corridor and whatever the KK's own version will be called are all trying to solve similar problems. Main issue and the difference between them is budgeting. Thing I actually took away from it is him announcing that if he wins, the...
Marines in 21st century will also mainly or even wholly operate only in the Pacific. You don't need 70 ton tanks on islands. USMC's decision to shed some weight makes sense, for them.
I mean, there wouldn't be much to go on if it's a fake. If it's real instead and there's a crime, I do hope they give it to a prosecutor instead of playing with it. Agree that if AKP wins, opposition will shatter and winner will do their best to silence any and all that stays still. If...
