Ümit Özdağ took the seriousness of the refugee situation and made it a below 5% party issue. I think he is detrimental to the people who actually want to send refugees away, me included.
They are leagues better than anything that comes form the eastern or southern border. But they too must go at some point. They did some good PR work by cleaning Antalya beaches etc. That was in 2022 I think. I'd guess more than 90% will leave in the following 10 years.
You actually changed my opinion on that. Not %100 though, because as boredaf said, upgraded 4th gen fighters are still the main body of the (larger) air forces around the world, and that's not going to change in 15 years. I think the maintenance and production costs should go down more for 5th...
idk whay are you guys arguing so hard about it. What is the gain? It doesn't even contribute information. It just goes "it will happen" "no it will not". I hope it happens, I really, really do. And maybe it will. For now just be watchful for the news.
For what it's worth, I think we can...
French naming conventions are a joke but using rafale is good planning. 4th gen planes are so much more cost effective, one has to be an idiot to not use them once air superiority and SEAD is achieved.
I thought about how much an unmanned helicopter can add value by mission type, excluding small drones (FPVs and such).
Attack helicopter missions as they are in 2024 would be way complicated because of the technical limitations (lag) and required computational power for targeting (automation)...
Language reform can actually be very beneficial. We Turks had one and it was one of the best things to happen to Turkish culture in a while. Unfortunately the world moved on and it's impossible to implement in the 21st century.
It would be pleasant to see a reawakening of Phoenician, ancient...
My guess for the US visit cancellation:
Biden team worked some kind of ceasefire on Gaza
They thought Netenyahu would agree
Americans tried to bring Erdogan into the deal as some kind of broker or as help for PR towards Hamas sympathizers in the Muslim world
Netenyahu didn't agree, and...
I get the idea that Air Force and Army planning lagged behind in terms of concrete results. What do you think is the reason for that? How can other two branches (and Gendarmerie I guess) solve their problem with planning ahead?
Edit: or more succinctly, what seperates Navy from other branches...
I advise against the tone you are employing. We are brothers with Azerbaijani Turks, but we are not "the big brother". That is exactly how Russians self-sabotaged and basically killed the pan-Slavic project, by acting superior to other Slavic brothers like Poles or Ukrainians. "You wouldn't do...
I think what Elon has done is an overall positive thing. Not because it's more user friendly, but because it prevents institutional information restriction, propaganda and social engineering to some extent.
Around there was 2015 a wave of online white nationalists created by the algorithm...
Reddit inevitably devolved into a series of echo chambers. The entire site is a giant confirmation bias machine with its flawed upvote/downvote system. The biggest subreddits which should in theory have more debate are aggressively moderated and astroturfed into being cesspits of misinformation...
