@ for shot trap ; new kind of atgm's dont redirect when they hit.. they penetrate where they hit to.. and it is good thing to have angled armour. Thus your armour's thickness increases. And also if some old rocket comes (rpg etc.) Old homogen armour is capable to defend to them.
Also ; there...
if you are a man who graduate from MAK course and deserve to take MAK patch , you can use it on your uniform individually.. like parachute, commando course, ökk course or any other...
They are special operation anti-terror teams of police.. and their total number are about 20000.. highly motivated nationalist men.. since 1990's they are fighting with pkk in cities or on field with soldiers.. especially in villages and city battles..
TURAF never spells a number which is not touched by hand or videotaped by flir camera of a drone.
This is a law matter .
We fight with terrorist organisations for 40 years. We know what to do and say true about number of losses..
You can't cover a Turkish soldier loss in Turkey and media.
No.
There are limited number of f22s. And their home bases are in usa homeland.. but there will be 3000+ f35s. And they will be everywhere..
And also USA has 600 b$us budget for military.. if they want , they can operate many different types of planes easily.
Both of them (f35 & tfx) are need to be same (or too close) length and wing wide and height ...
Because they will work together, and share same hangars and facilities..
Same vehicles will be used to carry planes and armaments under their wings. etc..
Because we cant blackmail.
If we say : i am going... there are some silly european countries to shake hands and smile.. they are thinking they dont need Turkish membership anymore. And they see eurepan intersets are more important from NATO's.
And it is just not usa and europe.. russia backs...

We asked for air supoort in al-bab because some other reasons ;
- First of all We wanted to see our allies would support us or not,
- the syrian government treated us at the begining of the operation ES. we wanted the coalition aircrafts over al-bab , so syrian and russian air defence systems...
Turkish navy has phalanx systems in hangars. ( From the knox class frigates).
So.. embargo couldnt be the reason. (their modernisation to block-1 level may be going on )
Prime minister said last night in tv : " ES has ended. If we start a new operation, its' name will be different".
So, for me ; probabilties are :
1. Dicle kalkanı,
2. Fırat fırtınası,
3. dicle fırtınası,
Or three of them , one after the other.
Lets see..
*** in 90's we had saw these names...
We will buy +- 1000 tanks.
Production must go on for at least 30/40 years, to not to close the line.
1000/30 = ~35 in a year... in early years it is normal ~20.. then production will be 40 per year.
They call it : sürdürülebilir üretim..
