If we had the money and didn‘t need other platforms like frigates and helicopters, I would love to have 4 or even 6 of these Tepe Destroyers. But 2 x 5500ton frigates can easily perform all the duties of a Tepe Class with similar fire power. This way you don’t put all your eggs in one basket...

You have written it so well that it is not possible not to agree with it. But there are few issues I can’t stop from pointing out. Do we really need to expand a sphere of influence by military means? We are no longer an imperial power. We don’t want to be an imperialistic country. Besides, that...

I am sorry mate. But you don’t seem to understand what people are telling you either. 1. We don’t need a MUGEM. 2. We don’t need Tepe Class destroyers. They are both too expensive and unnecessary expenses on our already strained economy. We don’t have access to open Oceans. We don’t have...

You are very much mistaken I am afraid. Those calculations are done sparingly, taking today’s money in consideration. Come 2030s those figures will have increased pro rata, with inflation. The destroyers and frigates you have to allocate to your battle group is for the battle group. Your naval...

I like your optimism. I hope we will have the financial clout to build an aircraft carrier. People look at the similar sized aircraft carriers and think, 5-6 billion dollars is something we can afford. Well, today we can’t even afford that. Because we need other weapons to develop and serially...

So we still need technical help from original designers to keep an Assault Ship in working condition. That clearly says that without the help of Navantia our LHD could not have been built to start with. How do you think we can build an even more difficult and technically challenging ship like an...

At the moment there is no such physical project. But there is the will and a project in the hands of Qataris and Turks. Discussions to revive the long-stalled Qatar-Turkey gas pipeline project have resurfaced following significant political shifts in the region, particularly after the fall of...

You are right. I should have said . Biggest buyers of Venezuela’s oil. Between 2000 and 2010 largest buyer was USA with China being second. Between 2010 and 2023 largest buyer by far was China. Check out the 2023 Chinese portion of purchase.

Guys, forget about the generation argument. Tusas knows what the next stage is going to be. This generation palaver, is all academic. US produced F22 as a stealth aircraft which made its first flight in 1997. First F35A flew Dec 2006. Even though it is a more modern aircraft, f35A is no...

1. Israel wants all gulf oil and gas to flow through their land via pipelines to Cyprus and Greece to the rest of Europe bypassing Türkiye.That is why BlackRock president visited RTE. 2. US wants Iran oil to stop flowing. Who buys most of it? China. China's second largest oil supplier was...

Everybody is talking about a CENK missile. Yet no one official, has given any details of this missile. The only proof that it could exist is the video below and some officials uttering it’s name sometimes. That head they are screwing on in below video, can not be the explosive payload. No one...

For a ballistic missile : 1. to reach hypersonic speeds during it’s flight for a given time, and 2. being hypersonic , are two very different things. Yes, majority of longer than 300km range SRBM class ballistic missiles reach 5mach speeds for a while, especially during midcourse and right...

1. No. Not until an AI program is developed for it to do that. 2. Probably not fully yet. But within LOS distance a possibility. 3. Most likely. It will be very different to Akinci. Akıncı is a cumbersome slow plane that can be seen by radars. KE is stealthy. At the moment subsonic. But with a...

Samp-t new gen uses pif paf to hit ballistic missiles. This is a technology we need to master yet. For exo atmospheric precision targeting it is important. If we can manufacture it under license, we would learn a great deal about the technology.

Congrats to our Korean brothers. In a fairly short time they have a top class 4.5 generation semi stealth aircraft in mass production. In time when their indigenous stealthy engine and Aesa radar is fully integrated and the plane start utilising an IWB, it will have matured to be a very good...

Bro, no modern army has the US’s firepower and logistics. Full stop. They are the top dog in terms of these two capabilities. But it doesn’t mean that other modern armies lack the capability to attempt a similar rescue operation. Would they risk it? That is the question! In this case US were...
