    BREAKING|Loud explosions around Dimona nuclear facility in Israel

    It is certainly kinematically possible to attain that range using a ballistic projection. Such a scenario is possible in the case of an air interception miss during the ascent phase.

    Turkey's future in NATO | Debate & Discussion

    At the current time juncture, Turkey leaving the North Atlantic Alliance cannot withstand as a weighed hypothetical the scrutiny of even a rudimentary SWOT or PEST analysis. I can't really see any dilemma given the specifics at hand, it is pretty clear-cut. Can someone quantify what the...

    Turkey expects to lay ground for Kanal Istanbul project in summer

    For shipping, maritime and freight companies, speed is not of the essence for the vast majority of commodities hauled to and from the Black Sea. Cost is. This trend has been going on for a couple of decades now, to the point that freight ships today are traveling at a lot lower speeds than they...

    Montreux and Ataturk declaration from 103 retired Turkish admirals

    If Turkey could build and fully utilize it without abandoning the treaty, the admirals would have zero problems with it! Their problem is with touching the treaty, not the canal itself. At least, this is frankly what I get from reading the declaration in the first post.

    Montreux and Ataturk declaration from 103 retired Turkish admirals

    Exactly, that is what I wrote. So, they are against Turkey abandoning the treaty. That is actually what they wrote in their declaration too. The canal is purely incidental. If Turkey could build and fully utilize it without abandoning the treaty, the admirals would have zero problems with it!

    Montreux and Ataturk declaration from 103 retired Turkish admirals

    May be wrong here, but the crux of the matter was that they don't want Turkey to unilaterally abandon the Montreaux Treaty. So it is the other way around. One of the justifications for building the Canal is that "Turkey can force the naval traffic there, after changing the legal status of the...

    Montreux and Ataturk declaration from 103 retired Turkish admirals

    I'm getting the impression that the whole brouhaha is an internal political game of sorts. The idea of unilaterally changing the Straits convention to remove the free passage clause for civilian vessels in peacetime is diplomatically and legally ludicrous. At least, that is my reading of it...

    Greece Analysis F-35 vs Rafale

    The analysis posted by armynow seems to be terribly flawed in my honest opinion. The two fighters belong to different generations.

    Air-Force Trump approves selling F-22 Raptor to Israel — Saudi report

    That is all well and good but...you cannot really make any more F-22s. Is Trump talking about transferring existing US fighters to Israel? Has he asked the Air Force about that, lol? Moreover, reading the original source makes me think this is some kind of hoax/fake news. It talks about a 14...
