We won't be interested in J-10C, But we could be interested in buying that thrust vectoring technology.
That could save us some time on development.
American engines last thousands of hours, Chinese engines are nowhere near that durability. It's not a problem for Pakistan because they are...
The whole maintenance procedure would have to change, Armored units would have to be restructured maybe bigger support battalions, at the regiment level, maybe something else but if you go down the T-14 route, most of the field repair will consist of replacing the autoloading turret, like how...
You are wrong about this, Turkish pilots had already received their planes and were training in America, They couldn't kick us out of the program if we didn't give them an excuse.
And we live streamed the arrival of S400 batteries in Turkey lol.
Turkey used to get a lot of Israeli tech too. We still have 10 Heron UAVs specially made for Turkey. 170 M60T tanks modernized by Israel, Harpy anti radiation munitions etc.
We actually had good military relations with Israel until erdogan broke it for shits and giggles.
We didn't economically...
the sense that I'm getting is that they really don't give a **** about weight, they will let the tank go up to 80 tons if necessary and keep everything the same.
But if it were me, I would definitely make something like the KF51 Panther or T-14 Armata. I like the unmanned turret idea, I like...
That's different, It was always the French doctrine, they don't really buy weapons, they make their own stuff.
They didn't take part in Eurofighter project either, decided to make Rafale instead
We don't need nuclear weapons, we can beat anybody in the region with our army. Why upset the status quo when it's in our interest?
I don't know how many times I have to say this, we're not Pakistan. Our geopolitical position is much, much different.
How did they get Britain to sign the balfour declaration, the history of that is a topic worthy of discussion but now is not the time for it.
The important thing is, that we have most of our trade with EU, even after buying S-400s and getting kicked out of F-35 program we went right back to ask...
Did Israel become Christian and Atheist to get all this support from America and Europe? :)
take off these horse blinkers
I don't know how you can become Christian and Atheist at the same time :cheesy: but that's besides the point lol
Improve our position in NATO and Europe, Make ourselves more valuable.
Improve relations with everyone. Organize the Turks living in Europe into a powerful diaspora, etc.
There are lots of things to be done.
We should take some lessons from Russian propaganda, they really worked hard on RT...
