TURKEY’S IDLIB INCURSION AND THE HTS QUESTION: UNDERSTANDING THE LONG GAME IN SYRIA

It explodes when it hits something. Effective radius 2m.

The effective range of the MPT-76 is 600m not because the bullets can't travel further (they can travel almost 4km maximum distance) but because accuracy becomes too low. A machine gun is an area attack weapon, not a point attack weapon, it doesn't need as much accuracy as a rifle so the...

The F-35 was supposed to be a relatively cheap fighter that filled the "low" in the high-low fighter concept (the "high" being the superior but expensive F-22). It wasn't meant to be the best 5th gen fighter and is not (the F-22 is). It barely even succeeded in being cheap(ish). The F-35 is...

Wasn't there an announcement saying this project hasn't been cancelled just a few days ago?

That's not correct. It's 160kN with afterburner. TF-X will definitely not be as big as an F-22. 2 x upgraded EJ-200 should not only be powerful enough but also give it supercruise. I won't be high mach supercruise like on the F-22, but still.

Yep, they're agitating and inflaming Europeans' pre-existing, festering hatred, not instigating it.

German intelligence is heavily infiltrated by Russian agents or Soviet ideologues. There's a saying that if the BND learns something at breakfast, by lunchtime the FSB knows it too. Shouldn't surprise anyone given Germany's recent history. I suspect many anti-Immigrant/Muslim/Turk leaks that...

In the OP's post, NATO claims the "presence" (presumably in operation) of the S-400 is a problem, so it doesn't matter when Greece's S-300 was bought - it's mere presence/operation would be the same problem yet, miraculously, it isn't a problem at all for NATO. Ofcourse, this is because the...

Not much apparently, since Greece did this 2 decades ago and no one complained, and recently Cyprus (a Greek proxy) signed a deal with Russia allowing the Russian Navy to use its ports and I don't see Greece being kicked out of NATO. All this whining about Turkey by the West is nothing but...

By "FSA" he must mean Turkish Air Force, since FSA has no planes.

Nuclear subs' propellers are connected via a clutch or electric motor. They can't (except in an emergency) power down their reactors. In silent running they can turn off their pumps and use only convection but I don't think all of them can do this.

So they made a PKM copy and an FN MAG copy. What a joke. Why hasn't MKEK been shut down?

Maybe they'll get innovative and start wearing socks with their sandals.

Rumours that HTS has surrendered Abu ad-Duhur airbase, Taftanaz Military Airbase and Wadi Eldaif military base to Turkey.
