Yeah, a major military acquisition also comes with an expectation that it would improve diplomatic ties. In case of Armenia, if they really are looking for a major tank acquisition, they would rather turn to Europe, since they would want as much support as they can get from the West in case...

I don't think that LM would be willing to transfer any of their orders to Turkiye when they've only just started to operate this new production line. Also not a good look in terms of South Carolina politics with obvious "they are taking our jobs" rhetoric. Besides, when they reach their...

One, and why do you think so? APU is not propulsion

You are misunderstanding what a CDR actually is. Look up what the term "design review" means in system engineering. In terms of military acquisition, a lot of the countries base their processes on the US DoD practice, so I suggest you reading following link https://aaf.dau.edu/aaf/mca/cdr/...

That's actually a skit by a bunch of streamers from Korea though funny nonetheless lol

I think this isn't really something only limited to Korea. Marginalization between different social groups are taking place within every developed nation around the world right now it seems. Cancel culture and the word itself is not even born in Korea but fits perfectly to what David is trying...

Oh wow, I think those are some interesting assumptions. Though, only going by what is actually known, it already is interesting that a program of sort called PFX exists. We'll be able to figure out what it is and how much it coincides with your guess in the coming years. Thanks for the heads...

Talking the talk with no substance, in typical Russian fashion. In other news, Russia is still not deploying T-14 in Ukraine despite being "operational", same with Su-57. They've got some nice 1:1 real size models sitting on the ground. All the while being supplied with munitions and missiles...

My question is, why are some of you guys so inclined to rejoining the program at current stage? To me, it's quite clear that there's zero chance that Turkiye get's as much of industrial participation in the F-35 supply chain as it used to even if the door reopens, and that wouldn't happen before...

No, F-35 is hovering 140 aircraft a year and that is the expected full capacity with current infrastructure. They have a long-term plan for CAPEX to more than 200 a year but that is far into the future. Also most production constraints during and after the Covid period were down to, you guessed...

Nice progress. Igneada was the only option in Turkiye for West-East launches to be honest. Though does Turkiye have any concrete options on how they'll launch SSO or Polar orbit? I've seen others talk about sea launch and I know there are some stuff going on with Somalia, but I wonder if any of...

Actually delusional to think that US has even a single reason to include Turkiye in F-35 supply chain now.

Continuing from this, details about the development cost and workshare agreement for the block 2 and 3 aircrafts seemse to be very scarce. Can someone fill me in here as well? On top of that, are there any indigenous efforts to develop critical avionics? For example, T-50 and ita varriants in...

Regarding the possibilities of integrating Turkish weapons and avionics (which would basically mean replaing the Chinese counterparts) onto Jeff, can the Pakistani members, or any memebrs in general in the know teach me some details regarding the cooperative framework between Pakistan and China...

Ah, yes, although I am ignorant of Islamic rules and the do's and do nots, I think I recall that travellers are not subject to, or not subject to as strict of a restriction of what one shall and may not eat. Though I also know that people from countries of predominantly Islamic backgrounds don't...

Some other small recommendation would be Danyang or Gochang, but I'm not sure how interesting these places would be for foreigners. Danyang especially has a lot of domestic tourists, so if you hate that, it's a no-go.

As Chocopie pointed out, finding Halal food in Korea is a hard thing. The good thing though, is that there's plenty of sea food anywhere in the country. As with my response to GalaxyRider, I could give you some specific recommendations if you can give us some details. Though Since Turkiye is...

As for the reccomendations, I like being specific and my answer would vary depending on your travel preferences (eg: if you prefer visiting historic landmarks or exploring nature, or want to experience Korean urbanism like shopping or night lift), as well as your preferred activity (as in, the...

The thing is, lesser known location in Korea are not really that suited for foreign travelers. Lot's of things got lost throughout the modern history of Korea so most of the so-called hidden gems are hard to reach, are spread out so not so much to do in one place, and are not that...

Like I've said above, new MUFS is no longer dual use technology anymore since it changed to cryogenic liquid propellant rocket. That was only true with SR 1.0 and the older MUFA/MUFS design. Turkiye is basically starting from scratch and is embarking on developing civilian only launch vehicle...
