These stupid morons are an embarrassment for the entire country. Edit: just for clarification, I'm talking about the US soldier thing.

Proud of our women in the armed forces. Wish we could see more of them also closer to combat roles.

Well buying a product already does spread the fixed costs of the product on more pieces.

We've could have withdrawn our request, but didnt. Why? Because some smart people know that we need it.

Maybe I'm to slow to get it, I really mean it. Please tell me. Are you suggesting we do similar or what?

I went through it all and while its interesting, I dont see the connection to the thread and Turkey. Care to explain / give us context? @Rooxbar

I love it when we get these logistics news now and then. Logistics win wars.

If we can start the production of Altay, KAAN and many other products (even if in low rate) with foreign engines and the larger part with domestic engines once ready. Why cant we do the same for IFV?

It took a while but Kale has made some fantastic progress, and they closed many of our gaps. And I like their vision, i.e. trying to move into the civilian space. You cant put a value on all those engineers that now gain experience and will build the next bigger, better product.

Think about it, you have a free trade agreement with the EU and you as the other party can have whatever FTA you want with other countries. That would give Turkey the unlimited power to attract as many non-EU companies and investments to circumvent the EU tariffs.

Which got me thinking, if you get to develop a gas turbine from jet turbine, that could go both ways? Very theoretical question, but wonder if a company such as Siemens for example could turn for jet propulsion in way economy mode with their existing turbines. @Nilgiri thought you might be able...

One A400M is around 120m € per piece. 10x around 1.2 bln € 24 Hürjet, how expensive can they be? I think there might be a bit of money involved too.

I get what you're saying but we shot down a Russian plane didnt we? And Iran is not afraid of an Israeli nuke, there's no need for a nuke to defeat Iran. Its a paper tiger. But I agree we need to go Israel on all PKK and all of its supporters including Iranian militias.

This does include calling for the execution of innocent uninvolved people abroad too, in case it wasnt obvious enough.

They are citing Turkish reports, so nothing new to be fair.

Did the new TAI CEO not say that talks are ongoing for a larger batch in his last interview? I think he said 50.

I wouldnt go close to that thing, wtf are people doing.

Did Kotil not say that they warehoused enough Titanium for the production already? Or is this related to the Titanium quality issues as mentioned in the NYT article?

He seems to be way more conservative with his assessments and timelines compared to Kotil. Just my opinion, of course.
