ooh someone is getting real butthurt. lol You know TEI has been building subcomponents and modules for GE and CFM engines that fly in every 737 or Airpus 320 flying right? What commercially successful finished product has HAL or GTRE contributed to again? There is a reason why the Turkish...

Well the Turks called it mass production, you can call it LRIP, or whatever. the point is, its a finished product being produced, where is the Indian engine again? The real embarrassment is that the TS-1400 started getting developed in 2017 with the project launch, and is already past testing...

I'm not Turkish, how many times do I have to explain this element. If you do a bit of research you will realize, that the F-16s that are eligible for Ozgur upgrades are different from the ones receiving the Viper upgrades, due to technical/legal documentation that limits upgrades of certain...

Ok so active service is a different thing from mass production. The testing phase is done. https://www.dailysabah.com/business/defense/national-utility-chopper-takes-flight-with-1st-turkiye-built-engine There was a recent news of an order being placed for around 10 engines for 2024. If you...

More than India. lol They have already started mass production, I have yet to see the Indian turboshaft get beyond a single prototype. You seriosu bragging about the Akash SAM? if it was so "advanced" why did they get rid of the ramjet in the second followup series of SAMs for a dual pulse...

This is pure cope, the F-35s while having pricey maintenance costs, smoke everything in the air that flies. Its the most sophisticated fighter on earth. lol You have been assembling knockdown kits since the 90s/2000s, its not in any way the same as the F-16 participation. Turkey was part of...

I was eagerly waiting to see the Siper 2, the Siper 1 just looked awkward, a smaller missile with a booster rahter than a dedicated specifically built design.

nice, how many in production? This guy is bringing up launch vehicles in a conversation about military tech. lol nice.. how many in production again? lol its a toy. You know they were building entire F-16s right? not in knockdown kits but the full on plane as well as building the engines...

40(including prototypes) built in a decade is not really something to be bragging about, considering Mig-21s are still flying in the air force, loomwe know why it hasn't been producted in significt numbers, its b/c its not met the standards, which is why the Mark1A was introduced in the first...

Oh great now I'm going to be hounded by 4 different people, why not just argue yourself. *sigh* well I have no interests in a flame war, so I'm going to step out of this thread now. lol

Oh Yeah good logic, so Mig-21 were 'surpassing" the Tejas until 2010? lol This is just foolish coping. lol Picking out a couple of outliers doesn't make it the rule. The Rafale delays were b/c of a multitude of reasons. Why not use the F-16 as an example? first flew in 1974, and was inducted...

this sounds like cope. lol RSS/Bajrang Dal in Manipur?

The Kaveri is a failed project, it started in 1986, we are in 4 months from 2024. It failed to achieve project requirements, which was a powerplant for the LCA, that never happend and now they are trying to salvage it as a drone engine, which again i have yet to see tests on the drone itself...

Turkey has a working turboshaft that is an indigenous design, India does not. Turkey had drones like the Kizilelma in development, India does not. I can safely bet that in all likelyhood we will see a TFX flight before the AMCA, despite all this nonsense about "fighter jets since 1960(lol HAL...

Well Idk about Karabakh, Its been several years since that war so I can't remember. but there are several examples of Tors killed with TB2s elsewhere. Got this from Oryx. They can't all have been "turned off". lol https://postlmg.cc/H8j6VwfR https://postlmg.cc/PNZ3N6Xp...

Its always "turned off" lol.

This is delusional, we haven't even seen any significant exports from India. Nor are any of these weapons battle tested.

China was trying to sell JF-17s and J-10s to Azerbaijan.

thats partially the reason maybe, another bigger reason is that they approached the US, and the State dept refused the sales, for a wide range of reasons. Also there are EU laws restricting sales for EU states in the karabakh conflict, also the EU is currently mediating between the states, and...

NATO will not sell to a CSTO state for obvious reason, despite all the diaspora hauling, and anti turkish sentiment in the west or some in the west backing Armenia on sectarian grounds, the ground reality is that Armenia is a Russian client state with ties to Iran, that makes it a big nono for...
