We should have named our planes basicly EU(Eğitim uçak, and U(Uçak) and numbers for their maiden flight date. They can have nicknames like hürkuş, hürjet, anadolu kartalı, istikbal whatever Hürkuş (EU-13) Hürjet (EU-23) MMU (U-24) Just like when you know something start with f (fighter) you...

From recent leaked documents

Lockeed Martin does not even let Turkey upgrade block40/50s. It is not possible to upgrade them ourselves. They want to sell their own kit. We are only allowed to do that for our block 30s. we have more than 170 block 40/50s that's a lot of $$$ to earn for LM. You do not simply understand f-16s...

It's mostly a sociopolitical thing imo. Big ship = we have something to boast about hahaha, we call it aircraft carrier and masturbate at night thinking about it how big of a ship we got and hope we could even gain some votes before elections thats always a plus side :D It does not really make...

In general, FMS purchases can provide an international partner contract administrative services that may not be available through the private sector and may help lower unit costs by consolidating purchases for FMS customers with those of DoD. Turkey buys through FMS, so whatever US army is...

Bozdoğan is short, Gökdoğan is medium. Bozdoğan= aim9-x sidewinder, Gökdoğan= Aim-120 AMRAAM The missiles look fairly similar too. Somehow they manage to make the image on the The mock-up? thing wrong, they put the wrong images on missiles. Bozdoğan's flap situated in the front part while...

What you want does not really matter, Turkey is a constitutional republic, there has to be a election in 4 months, people will go and vote where ever they are, it is not hard, you can change your location where you want in 1 day. It is easily doable, half my family is also IDPs now, they...

Hurjet project just like Hürkus is fundementally an R&D project. Aim is to make TAI a technologically capable company that could carry out the TF-X project or the projects that'll come after that. I agree that it is very likely no export success will be achieved but TURAF is going to procure +50...

I agree. TCG Istanbul is almost ready, that shows we have almost every subsystem ready, midlas and hisar-rf is on the way. We are talking about paying 10b$+ deal for f-16s to US, we are talking about paying 10b$+ to UK for eurofighters but we don't have 5-6b$ for our shipbuilding industry and...

How can even they quadpack soon? I thought it would take at least 5+ years. Quadpacking is not easy job afaik. British wasted billions$ and took so long time, a lot of other advanced countries could not even get close. Also isnt quadpacking g40 would be easier that is cold launched? Another...

Koc group is %7 of Turkey's GDP for a reason. They are classical rational capitalists. Minimum risk maximum profit is their way to go, no different than basicly every global giants. If you ask Koc group to design and produce a 1500hp military powerpack they will not accept it with so little...

TURAF planned to buy 134 f35. F35A was never going to be TURAF's main fighter, it was supposed to take the place of F4s. 116+18 F35 was going to bought in a long time process, for example initially only paid and ordered 4. 130 F35 is approximately 25b$, it would cost Turkey probably 55b$ from...

M60a3 is m60a3, no matter how much you modernise it is out of date you can not modernise its main fundamental disadvantages vs modern MBTs. Still, there is no need to underestimate this update kit, even though it does not turn m60a3 into a last gen MBT, you don't need last gen MBT in every...

This should be from an exercise in 2017. We bought 9 OHP, 8 had been refitted and recommissioned, 1 was kept for spare hulk parts, the one used for sinkex in this video is USS Duncan. The submarine is TCG Sakarya.

I'm not the expert on this subject. It is my understanding with limited technical capability there is literally 0 difference between a horizontal, top or in between attack. The trajectory of the missile is in all 3 forms quite close to each other, radar detects it nearly 50 meters away and...

If you are saying Javelin-like missile might approach at such an angle that it is not tracked by the radar, they could easily place the radars in such configuration if needed. I think it just works fine cause if i remember correctly dutch really evaulated Trophy and decided to procure a lot...

TAF gonna have to buy a lot TF-Xs to make the program cost more efficient per aircraft. They would not be eager to invest in a second fighter program. They also do not need such an aircraft, f-16b70 and TF-X will have to do it. TAI would not want to invest their own resources for such a risky...

Trophy and iron fist APSs do that. In fact, such counter measures theoritically have greater chance against top attacks.
