The irony is in people who don't have a clue about armour talking about what the armour on Altay should be.

It's probably designed to only counter ATGMs. Roketsan is also likely using newer technology than old thick Soviet plates and can make them thinner while being as effective. Heavy plates are only used to counter KE rounds. If this upgrade is for Syrian ops, they wouldn't want to waste weight...

You make some very good posts in this forum so I'm not saying that to insult you or act like you need my permission to post something. But even if we're not responsible for other people's actions, in the end it affects us all, so it's better to help others realise when they're buying into...

It doesn't matter - posting propaganda sources like Sputnik adds to their legitimacy in people's eyes and helps it spread as a "news" source. Sputnik's #1 target is Turkey, so by posting Sputnik's garbage you're helping brainwash Turks.

Don't post propaganda outlets like Sputnik here.

Twice. Each wing has 2 joints.

They can with aerial radar, but as I said in another post, it would've been pointless to try to engage a saturation attack. All it would achieve is waste all their AA missile and leave Russia's own military bases without defences.

This is very sad: https://www.similarweb.com/website/sputniknews.com Turkish people are eating up Russian propaganda, more than any other country in the world.

That would be an incredibly dumb thing to do. It would just be a waste of missiles. Those 2 US ships had 140 tomahawks - they could easily saturate all the S300/S400 batteries Russia has in Syria and still destroy that air-base (leaving Russian forces with no AA defence).

I don't know where those numbers come from but the World Bank says the opposite: Also notice the "USD" there. PPP is a better way to make this comparison because it avoids issues with USD value fluctuation: So, everyone, calm the f down.

Explosion is real but the video zooms in at the moment the explosion begins. Look at the clouds and the bottom right corner of the target square.

Turkey is as developed as many countries in the EU. But if you want to compare to another country which also has civil war happening: Ukraine's growth was -6.5% in 2015. Brazil, another developing country, was 0.1%. Mexico, similar GDP to Turkey and also developing: 2.2%. Maybe compare to...

The EU grew only 1.7% in 2016, and they consider that good compared to previous years. Japan grew by 1% and they also consider that good. If you hate your country so much go live somewhere else. I'm sick of malcontents vomiting up their worthless opinions about Turkey on this forum. No matter...

I doubt it. They would get a lot of bad publicity from that because it would be super hypocritical of them due to Palestine. It would also create a precedent that could bite them in the ***. Not to mention Turkey would cut off relations immediately. Not worth it. It would be better for them to...

The birth rate in the southeast is only twice as high as anywhere else, while their population is only 10%, so you're absolutely right. Also, Turkey's overall demographic outlook is very good. Unlike many European countries, which will be facing demographic difficulties in the next decades...

Multi-beam means its AESA. PESA can only have 1 transmit beam at a time.

SAA donated huge amounts of ammo and weapons to ISIS again: http://spioenkop.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/another-one-bites-dust-major-arms-depot.html

Stop repeating my own words back to me like a parrot. I already said the difference between them is they have a different cycling mechanism. Also, the HK 416 and M4 don't just "look similar" - the HK is based on the M4 design. Nor was the HK the first M4 pattern rifle with a short-stroke piston...

Not this crap again. It's funny how some people keep saying we copied the HK 416 when the HK 416 was itself a "copy" of the M4 with a different cycling mechanism, and was originally called the HK M4. MPT-55 is in the same way a variant of the HK 416 with a different cycling mechanism, but...

Electrical power is generated from the engines. Otherwise they would have to carry a huge battery.
