You need to comprehend why the program collapses when a key player exits it. It's about the time needed to replace Turkey in all aspects (manufacturing and servicing) and how the program as a whole will be affected in that timeframe. Sure, Israel would be able to replace Turkey in both those...

I hope you've read what I've linked to understand why the F35 will have to be delivered to Turkey, so we can skip that part entirely. The real question is why the F35 narrative is being pushed again. I urge you to remember the last time that happened. Yes the S400's were brought up, but the...

Turkey will get both, there's no debate or dilemma about it. I don't want to repeat the wall of text I wrote in the ME section, but here's a link if you want to read further...

Turkey will receive the S-400, there's no turning back from here - and there shouldn't be any. What people get wrong IMO is the F-35 issue. If you've been following the program closely you'll clearly see that it is on VERY fragile ground at the moment. The F-35 was designed to take over every...

Unbelievable, even though everything is happening before our very eyes - and to add to that as predicted by many in this forum, some people here are vehement in denying that anything is wrong at all. BMC just declared they're essentially re-designing a tank (that was finished) - and people are...

I wish you'd have said this before I wasted my time replying to you. Could you be any more condescending even if you tried? Take a step back and look at where you are, typing what you will.

Thank you for the serious reply, it's becoming increasingly rarer to see this here. Having said that, none of your points actually is an answer to my post though. You claim a defense oriented forum is not the place to "dig up skeletons" in the closet of other countries while I was talking about...

The nerve of the moderator that comes here and dares to rant about Turks! That's how two faced they actually are. It seems that people have mastered "doublespeak" and are pretty proficient at it. Here, I'll paint the doublespeak for you in red You lock threads and punish the Turkish side here...

You can't aspire to be a regional leader and at the same time afford to ignore a major intervention next door (that was masked as a civil war). To put matters in perspective, said country has been the source of your security problems. You want Turkey to bury it's head in the sand and pretend...

Ok, the situation of the Altay tank is beyond ridiculous at this point. We managed to design the tank without delays, create prototypes without delay and get it approved by the TSK, again, without delay. The easiest part (for Turkey), the actual production of the tank though is seeing...

5 years, so 2024 ish.

Love them or hate them, you have to applaud the immense amount of engineering and innovation that is pouring out of Israel at the moment. They have hard working scientists in the private and government sectors. When I see stuff like this I always wonder how Israel can manage to pull off such...

Not yet, but I'll translate. The beginning of the video is about what TA (Turkish Aerospace) has been doing in the near term (i.e. realized projects). Then you get the flashy text (bigger better yada yada), after that the new heli pops up, here's the translation ; HOGE capability (hover...

That is one sexy beast. Together with the ATAK it will be perfect. One light weight which is best in class (if you include price to operate etc) and one (hopefully) gigantic beast attack helicopter. I love this. Also, man that design is fantastic, best looking chooper at the moment imo (well...

No, the US government has green lit the handover hence why LM was able to give them to the Turkish soldiers in the US. At the moment, the 2 planes in the US airbase are actually property of Turkey. They have the same status as a Anka drone in that airbase would have. Having said that, this is...

What a load of.... These are the same thing : 1. Trade balance deficit 3. Coverage of exports by imports This doesn't even mean anything, looks nice on a list? 2. Exchange currency Not a huge problem for Turkey atm. 4. Unemployment Not true, Turkey is heavily industrialized 5. Low...

TF-X animation reel, posted by TA themselves. Interesting tidbits ; Max speed : Mach 2 Engines : 2x 20.000 lb Ceiling height : 55k feet Operational radius : 600 nm (nautical miles), which means it commands a 1200 nm circle MTOW : 60.000 lb Wingspan : 12m Wing area : 60m2 Length : 19m The...

The food crisis in Turkey actually has a LOT of factors affecting the outcome. The influx of prices these past 2 months though, to be honest, are artificial. Having said that, even at government "stall" prices, Turkish products are priced very high. The reason for this isn't the "middle man"...

Does this mean the body design is (mostly) finalized?

Translation; With the development starting with the contract made in February 2012, the qualification tests of the KTJ 3200 turbojet engine has started. This engine is developed to be used in air to ground and ground to ground missiles like the SOM. The tweet has some good Q&A, so I'll...
