There is lot of talented economists in Turkey for what needs to be done...I have read couple papers by some myself. The point is the leadership/administration not picking them to advise + run things (And letting them do their job unhindered after doing so) for last 10 years or so. Fault lies...

Darn I forgot about F-18 altogether haha.... Yeah KFX is the looming grey presence in background.....

Might work if Turkey reduces its (largely inflation sensitive) imports to the same near zero....by people just not demanding those for consumption (tightening their belt extremely for things like fuel even). Also Turkey would need to convince loan servicing repayments to take Turkish Lira...

Excellent reply, thank you. *Tips hat*

SP-26 pics (earlier one was SP-25)

Substantial amount of the buddhist clergy are aligned with the protestors/civilians...though some have aligned with junta too. If it was other way around (most or all of them aligned with tatmadaw), this likely would have ended by now in tatmadaw favour. It shows to me this is going to go on...

I'm assuming then, if the ski jump was sufficient for F-35 STO, it should also be for hurjet, I would imagine T/W and L/D ratios are roughly the same at their respective appropriate Take-off condition envelopes. So if impulse load from landing is no issue as I thought too....what would be the...

It long time coming but even this circuitious route is welcome (given state of affairs earlier), in doing its bit to slay that babudom monster over time. I hope as many do their part increasingly this route, so the end for this kind of babudom comes as soon as possible. i.e (private company)...

I missed this in my haste....you have started answering my enquiry already here heh.

Out of interest what are the major factors that govern/preclude (small-class) STOL-retrofit on a LHD, assuming cost/down-time is no issue? (Or is cost/down-time the major issue?) Deck strength (for landing impulse loads), deck layout (and width), elevator layout, arresting wires, arresting...

It needs pragmatic focused Turkish leadership that is tough where it needs to be and flexible where it needs to be. i.e Actual nationalism without too much dreaming or polarisation internally (just for politics). More energy spent there, of course diplomacy and foreign policy (esp very...

OK no more comments about India/Pakistan stuff please (plenty of threads for that)....any past posts break rules please report them, they will be deleted/edited. Everyone involved (in the off topic stuff) please move on.....this thread is turkey w.r.t Iran...and maybe the larger notion of what...

Yeah props are pretty bad at vertical lift compared to rotors....given their respective diameters (thus their respective effective "gearing"/rpm w.r.t airflow mass) Generally you need to start with rotor requirement as first principle and then make it hybridise as prop too as 2nd for cruise...

This will be frozen fish and/or dried/cured?....or canned?

Yeah its good point, I was assuming conventional navalised design (arrested landing etc)....not STOVL.

Looks like the WD-40 helped finally lmao, it was wedged free just earlier.

Hmmm, I called it earlier hehe (are they reading this forum??! nice!):
