Thanks for posting this, I have been in Turkey for some days now and live map is blocked here. Is there any alternative to live map that we can see in Turkey?

What you are saying is that Orthodox christians are preferable over muslims, that the people of Rum should have been left to their own devices and they would never have been a threat to the Muslim world? We have a lot to thank to the Ottomans who were the frontier of the Muslim world, who...

Give them water to wash the the dust out of their eyes, wash their wounds. I was going to say perform Ghusal for the dead but it is not required. How generous.

Bogus bogus bogus. He likes the word bogus. He has some interesting theories but most of what he says is very insensitive to people that he has little understanding of. He thinks very highly of the orthodox christians because of his belief that they they will side with the muslims at the end of...

Russia said it is a bilateral issue as opposed to India's internal matter. Indians won't be happy about this.

I wouldn't say arabs as a whole. Some of the governments are seriously anti Turkey but the Arab people as a whole are divided between those that support their Governments rhetoric and the ones that see the Turks especially the AK Party as someone that stands against their oppression. Generally...

Calm down, They got a group of kids in a photo. It doesn't mean that Palestinians support YPG. You can go back to Erdogan bashing now.

I'm not talking about success, but just yesterday there were two explosions, one in al babb and one in afrin. It is happening at an almost daily occurrence at the moment. They are targeting mostly civilians most likely because its an easy target. Problem is that people won't want to stay in...

There is a safe zone in afrin and al bab. This doesn't stop the numerous recent attacks by PKK on generally civilian targets in those areas. So what will be different here? Nothing what so ever. Only another very long border to try to stop terrorists from infiltrating. There is something we...

Shame

I think you are right about the coating/rivets. The cracked areas may have some sensors or radar behind so require a non dense, non metallic, non composite cover, so some foam like material is used.

Front grey section seems to be covering the pilot so i'm assuming its some sort of armoured panel but the grey sections are definitely new because of the different primer colour?

Even more interesting is the 'Government position bombed in Qamishli by Turkish or Us Aircraft'. What's happened there I wonder?

We prefer someone like Sadiq Khan or Sayeeda Warsi. Someone who is proud of their heritage and is not afraid to defend his community. They are both well spoken and have made us proud. When I think of Sajid Javid, Benjamin Disraeli comes to mind.

Why are you embarassed? You're German? This article is from Hurriyet. This is freedom of press in Turkey. Bought out by Pro Government supporters and still bashing the Government. Perhaps they should sack everyone or even better lock them up (just kidding). Tell me Turks, whats going on here...

This jet could get to be used as a technology demonstrator for the TFX. I'm sure that they will be able to integrate any sort of gadgets. Why won't they be able update the avionics? If it because of lack of space then the second pilot area could be used, it is not difficult i'm sure. I don't...

Good reply. I don't know anything about Gulf manufacturing capabilities, just assumed that they were all lazy bums employing foreigners to do their work. Well time will tell which direction the program takes.

Perhaps they will add one of the countries to take the lost Turkish orders, but I don't believe that they will be able to produce these components in either country. Perhaps in 10 years and at a higher cost? The US will produce the components itself or give it to a higher tier partner eventually.

Even for sale of Eurofighter to Saudi, it required US Authorisation. So there is a possibility that any future European fighter may contain similar components that require US approval. The point is you can't easily shoot down a jet if it fails to enter your airspace, and how would you do it...

Joining any program with Europeans will lead to similar end result as Turkish Tank engine or even the Atak engine supply issue. Turkey will be strung along and in the end they will not receive anything. They will never sell any components that will make Turkey independent in Arms production...
