I think the latest improvement of US-Turkish relationship is due to Americans making a decision to "bribe" the Turkish state into non-agression towards Israel. I don't know if it will work as intended but it seems plausible. I also think the Hormuz situation will lead to US boots on Iran. The...

I would advise caution when listening to Colonel MacGregor. He is so pro-Russian 2 years ago I thought he was an actual Russian asset. Nowadays I think he just looks at it from a different perspective. But it is always good to take anything he says with a pinch of salt. The guy said Turkish...

The doomsayers always end the scenarios with us being hit hard. Then we are defeated and game concludes. But geopolitics never end if you are not genocided. Let's continue the brainstorm; Turkish republic is hit hard with 12 days war style air campaign. Economy collapses. Chaos in the streets...

I always wondered if towed submersible extra-mini USVs could be a part of something like this. You have a long cable that would send electricity and data, then the small swimming apparatus communicates with the missile, gets data from sattelites etc., has optical sensors for more small scale...

I think he has back issues, otherwise this is too funny to be real

Because immigration to EU is killing them. It doesn't even make sense, most immigrants to EU are economically unproductive and they take more than they contribute over their lifetimes, they are overrepresented in all kinds of crime and second or third generation immigrants are consistently less...

I envisioned something like some unmanned mini-subs that carry 4-6 of those but I honestly have no idea if it would be worth the trouble. Maybe on a USV it would make more sense. Just slap a launcher on top, the range is plenty enough.

Quick question, how hard is it to launch this thing from a submarine?

You know what, this actually makes sense. EF is not optimized for threats from Iran, which is what they actually have to prepare for. They might need something like a Korkut + Hisar + Radars + ISR. The only thing they would actually need and we don't have is anti ballistic missile capability...

I think Koreans should be counted but they have a subsystem dependency problem (engines afaik). They don't really seem to mind though.

Seems my theory is somewhat real. It's an f110 clone, or it's an honest to god f110. There was some chatter on the forum about our lack of engines and how we would get over it if Americans imposed an embargo. I remember people saying unlicensed f110 production would be beyond the pale. This...

Certified dış mihrak moment. Seriously though is this even avoidable? Like at all?

Stop being condescending. My theory is as soon as TEI got the metallurgical (and other) know how to completely reverse engineer f110, they had some people move to MSB ARGE, kept it small and moving. If this theory is true, a lot of the engine parts can be simply requisitioned from Air Force...

Guys. I have a theory. This engine is an f110 clone with slight differences. It does not have 42k lbf thrust, maybe 30-36k. The reason it was built outside of TEI is to throw off Americans/for plausible deniability. This is basically KAAN's insurance. And this is my theory.

I don't think votes are the motivator because they don't need anything extra against such inept opposition. I have a glimmer of hope that this somehow turns out to be something we can salvage.

For 100m$? Not worth it. This is an important part of latent nuclear capability I think. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

My honest assessment is that this operation was really rushed. Militarily, the buildup was good. Bombing campaign was tactically successful (except for the kids school). It seems the administration 'glitched' into ignoring the Iranian capability to close the strait, and this is the root of the...

Sucks to be my ignorant ass lmao But I stand by my point; we should be working on a resilient short range distributed air defense system that can be used to "switch" to asymmetrical air defense when it's needed. This can bring forth a lot of new possibilities/opportunities as well as being a...
