Agreed

It seems that the US will cover Turkey's mess and in return Turkey will cover the US's mess

Turkey will aid in saving the failing F35 program, if the rumors are true, by purchasing up to 80 aircrafts along with orders for 80 new GE F404 engines for Hurjet. Couple that with the recent surge in demand of US' LNG and you will see that they agreed to cover the mess of each other in the region

I just hope that if Turkey returned back to the F35 deal, the TFX wont be sidelined since the major driving factor behind the TFX current quick progression is that Turkey was kicked out from the F35 program in the first place. However though, what will happen to the S400s then? I do remember that they recently said that they will start some Tech transfer to Turkey, right?

It will be truly funny to see Erdo at the end of this fiasco having both S400s and F35s, lool

All in all though, Turkey must make sure to boolster and boost its nationalisation policy in regards to their defense industry

probably US hanging just enough rope out hoping Turkey becomes it's bitch again.

The biggest test will be the Ukraine-Russia war. Which European country sends soldiers or weapons? None of them. Seriously no one will. NATO means USA. The USA is the country that hurts us the most, why should we help it?

WOW!

While Germany refuses to sell weapons to Ukraine.
A batch of TB-2 from Corlu Airport landed in Lviv, Ukraine

The Transport plane is the AN-12

The Cargo area Length is ca. 14m and each TB-2 is 6.5m in length.
One An-12 can fit 2 TB-2s, so 3 Flights for 1 System of 6 Drones.

might be more than 2. based on the pictures on the net, you can disassemble the wings for transportation purposes. add the rear landing posts to that, and the overall packaging gets quite dense.

Europes appeasement towards Russia is embarrassing.

easy

after the meeting he will state that israel are the one who needs turkey and we will not abandon palestine , then he will go to the united nation and hold map of palestine and call israel a terrorists ... etc . if that was not enough he will host a meeting for the OIC countries to support the Aqsa mosque ...etc .

his supporters are a cult , anything can be fed to them

in politics nothing is zero sum game

Dont forget how the Armenians went from fighting to lobbying.

Dont be surprised if they do this to be honest.

if Armenians try the pull that slick trick on Turks, Erdogan the almighty kayyum will confiscate all their properties in a blink of an eye. This is a non-issue.

Can't name one place in the last 20 years where erdogan/AK party mediated and it brought any significant results.
