Interesting was that the general inspector Carsten Breuer visited TUSAŞ and aselsan. Maybe the military wants deeper cooperation with us after Repkon.

They still need the SDP and the Greens in the new ruling coalition.

I wonder what would have happened if we hadn't rejected the KC-390 joint design and production offer years ago.
Looking at the rapid increase in C-390 customers recently, that looks like a big mistake.

Is Turkiye in the market to buy some soon? Embraer talks of a possible 3 more customers being lined up.

An anti-democrat leading a democracy arrests his political rival. A democratic country chooses to embargo arms to that country suppressing its own democracy. Until things change Turkish air force will get no Eurofighters.

UK needs an order for Eurofighter to keep its assembly plant alive. Not the case for Germany.

Back to ordering F-16 for Turkiye or is the goal of despotism in their country - shared by Trump and Erdogan - enough to unlock F-35?

Did you tell that to KSA too?
If we shoot 100 billion tomorrow to fund German businesses, have a nice working relationship with Israel and no issues with Greece on Greece's terms, I'm sure they will listen to us closely. We are not KSA. We can't afford to be KSA.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. This is insane.

I just want to point out that their reason is not Ekrem, it is their excuse. Two different things. Of course the question is if it is smart to give them those excuses, like the S400 for example?

Throwing stones in glass houses, tbh.
Sure. The EU countries are known for locking up politicians, making expressions of opposition to the government by the people illegal, muzzling or controlling the media, arresting journalists etc, so what right do EU countries have to oppose similar tyranny in Turkiye?

We could have afforded, we chose to waste money other things, we can blow 50 billion when we want.

I've got a different perspective coming from a people that's been continually shit on by Europe for daring to survive ethnic cleansing and the following decades of white Europe telling us we're not allowed self-determination unless we submit our rights, equality and lives to our former genocidal neighbours. Still waiting for the promises of lifting their inhumane isolation for doing EVERYTHING that they wanted of us, but still telling us to go kick rocks.

To be fair Marie le pen also was arrested but I guess that’s justified because it’s in France and don’t get me wrong there are massive deficits in the Turkish judiciary but what’s the point of arresting your biggest opponent but not meddling in the elections. And some of the accusations against imamoglu are somewhat credible with his diploma being (fake) /(chp and akp are corrupt but akp at least gets something done)
