Anyone heard about Flamingo cruise missile developed by a group of friends in construction, game design, and architecture in Ukraine (according to Wikipedia)? It seems to be a joke! The missile has a 3000km range and 1100kg war head. Accuracy 14m. Developed in 3 years! Now my question. We have...

Also, now that I think about it, I realize nothing of significance has been achieved in terms of defence capabilities between 1950 and 2000, and maybe 2010. Also not much in terms of industry, technology, etc. They begun research in the nuclear area in 1960s but nothing came out of it. Amazing...

Without US help and Israel's nukes, we will prevail over Israel even if their air force is superior to us. Because we will eventually destroy their airports and runways, and then the war will switch to land and the sea where we have an advantage. But Israel will get substantial US help, and if...

I agree with you, we need more Istif frigates and TF2000 destroyers. But they won't cancel it, as it is sort of a prestige project. It may still be useful for places like Libya, Somalia etc. It is quite big for a drone carrier and has enough place, so instead of 32VLS they should consider 64 or...

Currently this is indeed the case. And they are a formidable enemy. In one sense this is good, we will need to work much harder to improve. In other sense it can be lethal for us. One thing is clear. It all started with „one minute“. Again coming back to my motto. You only poke a sleeping lion...

This is indeed unacceptable and unbelievable. Indonesia should have obtained the two after our two batches. It seems they don't view a naval war likely with Greece under Trump. Still, I don't understand many things they are doing. I thought at least Navy's decisions were good, but was proven...

I don't agree with what you are trying to imply. AKP has nothing to do with zionism (btw. I am a Zafer party voter). This is conspiracy theory like hypothesis. AKP tried to look friendly to Europe initially and of course tried not to anger US to stay in power. But fundamentally given their...

This is not getting vocal. It is low tone complaining. They are asking others to finish Israel's aggressions, this is what "...saldirilarin sonlandirilmasi saglanmali.." They are not even asking Israel directly to stop its agressions. This is where we are. I am asking where our strategists are...

P Patriots are in the minority in Turkey unfortunately. And they are busy attacking each other due to small differences in their views. As I often say, „Lands of Anatolia is fertile, more than grass traitors grow in it“ or in Turkish it is the best: „Münbittir Anadolu topraklari, ot dan cok...

Yes, Turkey was so close to it 8 months ago. They should have used the momentum at the time and take at least Rakka and Deyrizor fully. These are arab cities. This would have made the PKK autonomy there much less likely. We could have even conquered Kobani. But these things had to happen quickly...

are you suggesting I am an AKP troll? If so, you should look at my previous messages and also think about what AlperTunga signifies. Erdogan has made some errors in the Syria policy at the time but these were not easy to avoid, and it'd go too far to consider those as treason. He made up for it...

I am not a fan of Erdogan but I think the state has realized they cannot stop a federal state in Syria. That‘s why they started the reconciliation process with PKK. Given strong US and Israel backup, the cost of attacking SDF will be very high for Turkey. Especially, economically it will be...

Not sure whether this helps. Maybe it will help our F16s to fight it in the air but F35 would have fired its missiles long ago. So we need to shoot that missile somehow to prevent damage to our critical assets. This was my question and somehow remains unanswered. Btw. are missiles easier to...

I am talking about a scenario in which F35 fires its ballistic missile (similar to ER-300 that we have now) or a cruise missile or whatever, say 300km away from Ankara, but we can only detect it (in the worst case) 10km away from our critical asset. This is a realistic scenario.

was already thinking about it. If the enemy missile and the air defence munition/missile has the same speed and after detection it is fired instantly (not a human operator) then they should meet half way, that is at 5km. If the enemy missile is four times faster, then it will be neutralized at a...

I said clearly I am talking about TUSAS (TAI) where Kaan is developed. I am talking about the most critical places. This may sound cruel but hospital is not a "very critical" place. Those people are already not combat capable and why should the enemy waste its efforts to bomb a hospital??

Ok I know. I thought about it again. If short term systems were the solution, then probably they would have worked for Iran as well. I mean here no "rocket" science is needed and their performance is largely similar all over the world. This probably explains why everyone is trying to detect at...

My question is still valid. Let's say we can detect only at 10km. Can our short range systems (or similar ones in the world) shoot the missile from F35? Even if we have 50% success rate, that would mean Israel would need to make many sorties. Also, that would mean instead of 5 Korkut we should...

With our air defence systems we don't need to cover the whole Turkey. Israel or Greece wouldn't risk flying all that distance to attack residential areas. Israel can however try to justify an attack on important military facilities, claiming they pose a potential threat to them. We just need to...

Turkey of course cannot say any word now. Turkey needs to get much stronger both militarily and economically. We will need to close an eye to such tactical gains. We need to integrate more closely with Europe regarding defence cooperation and economically. As Turkey gets stronger its sphere of...
