I wonder how F-35 - KAAN matchup in the Aegean will play out. I don't mean in a childish "let's battle it out" way, but Greek Turkish relations will eventually get tense and we'll see dogfights maybe. How would those two planes fare in that environment is immensely interesting to me.
To me, a mini-KAAN would be more fitting for our carrier needs. It needs to be stealthy and able to work with loyal wingmen. I don't believe payload is that much of an issue to be honest. We will have KE to do the heavy lifting. Survivability and being a network node will be the main selling...
German politicans and their PKK NGO pets have a much more insidious program than simple Turkophobia.
They are trying to get 'Grey Wolves' recognized as a terrorist group according to constitutional council (whatevet that was called in German). Then they will classify everything related to...
Through time and generations, our ancestors have handed down precious proverbs as magnificent kernels of wisdom. One of them is as follows:
You fill the country with uncivilized fighting age males from a hostile culture, give them privileges and subsidize their living, protect them like they...
The real reason is we are suckers who'll allow them.
I suggest everyone to read about Varvar Ali Pasha and İbşir Mustafa Pasha. We are governed by İbşir Pasha's heirs.
I'm looking at sporadic news of crowds in various sizes gathering in all around the country. They march around, sometimes do takbir and sometimes İstiklal Marşı. Also, a few Syrians who are cought are beaten, stabbed. No deaths so far. Businesses owned by Syrians continue to be torched.
We...
And you know what? I think people would still accept an "all in" in Syria. We all know this "talk with assad" phase will inevitably fail. Entire Baathist power structure is anti-Turkey. The state has to communicate to the public that we either go all the way in a few years, or face civil war in...
Hard disagree. If this refugee shit is going to be solved, this needs to be more and more common. Otherwise we will go quietly into the night. By 2071, Turkish presence in Anatolia will be zero. Politicians need to be pressed hard, or they will drag their feet.
Vehicles belonging to Syrians are being destroyed
How happy is the one who calls himself a Turk! chants
Some kurdish separatists were alleging rioters were kurdish but guess not...
It's not "alleged" I have seen the video. Trying so hard not to get banned right now.
Syrians must go. All of them. One way or the other. Peacefully or the Armenian way.
Crowd chanting Erdogan resign
I believe France going populist would be a net benefit to Turkey. Not because they will cease to be hostile, but because they will cease to be a power. Entire European continent has a huge demographic problem, UK left the union and Germany is rapidly deindustrializing. I don't see the problem...
Admiral General Saladeen comes to mind lmao
I wonder if we have these missiles in good enough quantities. Greeks were talking about "preemptive strikes" a few years back. They need to be aware of the fact that we have an immense second strike capability that would block their fighter squadrons...
I have been thinking about a concept that goes like this;
Modern warships have this problem where when you pack them full of missiles, they become precious targets and they have to go back to a dock. These two problems can be overcome, I believe, with extensive use of USVs. Of course, this is...
