I think Koreans should be counted but they have a subsystem dependency problem (engines afaik). They don't really seem to mind though.

Seems my theory is somewhat real. It's an f110 clone, or it's an honest to god f110. There was some chatter on the forum about our lack of engines and how we would get over it if Americans imposed an embargo. I remember people saying unlicensed f110 production would be beyond the pale. This...

Certified dış mihrak moment. Seriously though is this even avoidable? Like at all?

Stop being condescending. My theory is as soon as TEI got the metallurgical (and other) know how to completely reverse engineer f110, they had some people move to MSB ARGE, kept it small and moving. If this theory is true, a lot of the engine parts can be simply requisitioned from Air Force...

Guys. I have a theory. This engine is an f110 clone with slight differences. It does not have 42k lbf thrust, maybe 30-36k. The reason it was built outside of TEI is to throw off Americans/for plausible deniability. This is basically KAAN's insurance. And this is my theory.

I don't think votes are the motivator because they don't need anything extra against such inept opposition. I have a glimmer of hope that this somehow turns out to be something we can salvage.

For 100m$? Not worth it. This is an important part of latent nuclear capability I think. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

My honest assessment is that this operation was really rushed. Militarily, the buildup was good. Bombing campaign was tactically successful (except for the kids school). It seems the administration 'glitched' into ignoring the Iranian capability to close the strait, and this is the root of the...

Sucks to be my ignorant ass lmao But I stand by my point; we should be working on a resilient short range distributed air defense system that can be used to "switch" to asymmetrical air defense when it's needed. This can bring forth a lot of new possibilities/opportunities as well as being a...

Coming back to the technical aspects of this war, this is something I did not expect. A multispectral camera based SHORAD complex. The thought of Aselsan or Roketsan getting into this is beyond exciting. Just think of the ways they would come up with. I can just picture it: network centric, AI...

I think some people who are watching the events unfold are skipping over a significant shift in Iranian power structure: Bibi and his puppy decimated the geriatric leadersip in Iran. All that is left is younger, more energetic, more resourceful and much more radical cadres of IRGC. To the...

I agree but with the caveat that US operations have been predominantly stand-off strikes and in-and-out type bombings AFAIK. I still don't think Iranian air defence would amount to much but there is a chance that we might see a little more pushback.

In English, it mainly refers to the prostelyzation of wahhabi Islam in the vast majority of cases. I have never seen it used in any other context and I consume a lot of content on this topic. Think of the German word 'blitz'; it has a singular and very specific meaning in English.

As far as I know, Saudis had to stop their moderately successful bombing campaign against Houthis a few years back because they westoids imposed a shadow embargo on air to land munitions. If their minds are changed on these topics, this is probably the catalyst. Which means even if they choose...

This scenario is built on the premise that Iran falls in a very specific fashion. But I agree with you in that a Western aligned Iran would be a complete menace.

I think Iran has a bad reputation due to their dishonorable conduct in international relations and this is hurting them immensely. Other actors themselves aren't angels, or USA/Israel certainly isn't more trustworthy, but the Iran is in a whole different league when it comes to backstabbing and...

Coup and shoot Khamanei then surrender 🤷‍♂️

We already know how to save our drones from countermeasures (for the most part). Sudanese just employ them incorrectly in my opinion. UAE is more than capable of producing some counter to Akıncı UCAVs. MALE drones need EW and a bunch of other things, this is not 2019 anymore. And I say this...

$250m in 5 years. It's possible especially if they branched out to Adana. Lavaş is the lord of all bread. Praise be upon lavaş.

As resident Mersinian, I'd like to chime in on this. As you know, Mersin is famous for its tantuni, but liver or various kebab types are also very popular. All of those require lavaş, or flatbread to consume. To prefer anything other than flatbread means you are not actually fit to consume...
