Milletimizin başı sağ olun.... Şehitlerimizin ailelerine Allah sabır versin

 

[what]

Very sad news and inexcusable that we still use 50-60 year old planes.

 

[Melkör]

Devastating news.

 

[Mis_TR_Like]

Yes crashes happen in all militaries, including the US.

But they're still inexcusable. Every crash is preventable, whether through maintenance, training or upgrades/replacement. Civilian airline aviation has gone incredibly safe over the decades, there's no reason why military aviation can't match it under NORMAL circumstances.

This just suggests enough funds aren't being dedicated to maintaining or replacing these old platforms.

I dont like being political with such a awful event.

Sehitlerimize Allah Rahmet dileyoum.

1. If this is a shot down. Russia and Armenia really deserve to be glassed.

2. Politicians and their penny pinching gets soldiers killed

3. Old is old no matter how many times you maintain it.

First of all, may the souls of all our soldiers rest in peace.

Many possibilities come to mind, but it's best to wait for the results of our government's investigation. The possibilities that come to mind are:

1- Maintenance error or negligence,
2- Sabotage of the aircraft before takeoff,
3- Possibility of being shot down,

These options carry many possibilities in themselves. This is a truly tragic incident. Necessary steps must be taken against those responsible. The root of the problem must be addressed.

Detached Wings From Doomed Turkish C-130 Seen Spiraling Into The Ground

The Turkish Air Force C-130E went down dramatically in the country of Georgia as it was returning home from Azerbaijan.

www.twz.com

TWZ mentioned that this C-130E was modernized through the ERCIYES MLU program. Is that true?

 

[Pokemonte13]

Looks like replacement is coming earlier than we thought hopefully.
C390 looking good now maybe some extra a400m plus new tankers.
Overall it looks like airforce will need to completely overhaul their logistics fleet.
Ideal layout 2040:
15 A400m
10-15 c390
15 c130j/E
50-60 cn 235
10-15 a330 mrtt

Something that has always concerned and really concerns me since the mossad pager bombing, does Turkiye have a method of checking parts coming from overseas to see if they have been tampered with?

 

[Ryder]

Im gonna be honest here we shouldnt resort to conspiracy theories unless proven. If mossad wants to hit Turkiye so bad wouldnt they target the Airbus A400s? A400s are much more better and advanced than the C130?
