Well I can name at least two Greek friends of mine with oglu in their names, check mate.

Easy when you're an island. Turkey has land borders with Iran, Syria and Iraq. The land border with Bulgaria and Greece is walled and closed and has Frontex on top of it. And the sea route is more or less shut too. Frontex faces some funding cuts because of their push backs, that might be an...

its going to be two long and difficult years until the next election.

Thats the base that the Americans keep in the middle of the desert just to fuck with Assad and Iran.

The good news is engineers working today on a new engine or transmission with Ford Otosan, can be the engineers of another defence related engine in the future. One way or the other R&D will always benefit the entire economy.

Yeah I agree its older than that, I just found it weird that they put 2018 as the official date. Maybe thats when they decided to green light it for use in the Bundeswehr and until then was an initiative by the companies itself.

FMC holds 41% and obviously the name Ford. I'm pretty sure that it would not be good for Otosans business to go against the wishes of their partner. They might decide to do more business elsewhere. There's a reason why Koc is investing in defence products only through Otokar.

According to the Bundeswehr project started in 2018 and deliveries are expected in 2024. https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/zeitplan-146746

I'm pretty sure the Ford HQ is not interested in defence industry and neither would Otosan risk any adventures when their business is already smooth.

Güllencis were known, there was a reason why Fetullah Güllen had to flee the country. And there was a reason why everybody with a little brain knew that the AKP and by extension Güllencis getting into power was a grave mistake. But that's a bit out of topic. Let's stay on Syria in here and...

No, simply no. The west it Turkeys biggest trade and technology partner. Even with the worst possible President (for the west/EU/US) we still have billions of € in investment, good relations with Germany, Spain, UK and more. Where's the cycle you are speaking about? The cycle where France and...

Never understood the Armenian argument, another conspiracy theory we dont need. We already have plenty. There are also Turks in the PKK but most of them are Turkish citizens of Kurdish origin.

Its satire, Merkel is talking about something entirely different but the subtitles make it sound like she's confirming what Erdogan said about people in Europe starving while things are perfect in Turkey.

UAE in talks to acquire shares from Baykar. https://www.tacticalreport.com/uae-adia-in-talks-with-turkeys-baykar/ If that happens its big fucking news and bad too imo. A country so openly hostile to Turkey should not be allowed anywhere near our defence companies.

If you have nothing substantial to add, you might as well do not comment.

1. we dont know what they got. 2. maybe the contract was signed long before CATS was ready.

Unrelated to the topic, but if we could do the same support to other industries, that would be nice. Because defence alone wont safe the economy. And only a good and running economy will be able to support all these defence projects.

Looking forward to seeing joint projects in the future.

Before any of that and what you said before happens Erdogan will be out of the office.

A training mission is the only thing that I can see happening. We simply do not have the means to give them the support they need right now. Neither monetary nor equipment wise.
