It's pointless to follow defense news when there is nothing left, no constitution or laws. We surrendered secularism, now we are surrendering entire democracy. Whose army will it be from now on

Canards have multiple benefits. One of its simple benefits is contributing to lift, because in classic tail stabilizer configuration, the stabilizers push down alongisde center of gravity to counteract center of lift that is behind the center of gravity. In delta canard, canards and wings push...

Well 32 VLS + 2-3 ciws should be enough for self protection. TF2000 needs that many VLS because that is its main armament. MUGEM's main armament is jet drones. You won't launch gezgin from it unlike destroyers. And it will likely stay farther away from threats.

Mugem is not a priority but there is no reason to cancel it either. With çafrad, vls and KE / ANKA 3 it's a different capability. Do not think of it as equal of US /UK / FR / China carriers, it's its own thing

Fetö investigation to Gürcan Okumuş and Assan, kayyum appointed to 10 Assan companies. https://www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/turkiye/eski-mke-baskani-ismet-sayhan-tutuklanmisti-assan-a-ait-10-sirkete-kayyum-atandi-2429977

Is this the 2nd or 3rd delivery of siper now?

I'm sure part of decision they realized KE can't take off from Anadolu so they want a ship that can field it. It will be a Kızılelma carrier first and foremost

We don't have that kind of money. We can do a limited drone carrier and have minor benefits for a smaller sum. Even 20 kaan on a ship is 2 billion $ by itself (not to mention the cost of navalizing kaan for only 20 of them probably on ship at best) The cost of a carrier and the fleet to protect...

The impression I get from everyone I listened to is, MKE is like a monopoly on certain munitions and caused us many issues in wars with shortages and quality. Gürcan Okumuş was fed up with SSB and MKE and after being forced to quit SAGE hedecided they will do serial production properly in ASSAN...

Engine has a long way to go. They can certainly help in design review and improvements

Afaik F35 80 mil figure is not adjusted to inflation so misleading. But also still comes eith 35000$ + per hour to fly. That's 7 mil for 200 hours per year or 70 mil for 10 years.

Capable? Yes. Affordable? Unlikely. Algeria is buying su35 and su57. Egypt and uae are politically not positioned properly still. Nigeria does not have such infrastructureand budget. Ukraine and kazakhstan are not very likely either.

Hmm I mean, 150 Turkey at least short term, 50 Indonesia, and then maybe Saudi and Spain 50 each at best? Who else is really interested? Consider that pakistan is already buying chinese aircraft and azerbaijan is buying j17 and kaan is overkill for them. Oh maybe qatar one day

As i understand its something like they being tired of relying on industry on a certain things they feel are being delayred too much

Or buy both and become overpowered. They do have a very strong economy

Well they are partner in SCAF and F35B doesn't really have an alternative for Juan Carlos I. They could be aiming for upgrading Juan Carlos for KE or build a new carrier with us to use with drones and use harriers in that duration. Buying F35A for them isn't realistic since they are also buying...

Well its complicated, half of aws architecture training is how to determine cheapest option

What are you hosting on? I wonder if AWS has a cheaper thing going on. That sounds expensive

Holy shit it costs 800 a year? Lets make a subreddit and discord(oh wait)

Fuel cost can be much lower which is a significant cost for its lifetime. But with sensors etc it likely won't be too cheap. 30-50 mil each likely
