Effectively engaging with the air force that close to Turkey and her AA capabilities (which include close aircraft bases) is a much harder scenario to sustain for Egypt though. Wars aren't "won" and "lost" when you lose your base - they're over when it's no longer realistically feasible to...

Actually I agree with him. Let's think about what this "war" would be about : The surrounding area of Cyprus and the gas located there. From Egypt POV : To influence that region you need a navy - it's too far away from the mainland for Egypt to continue to exercise her military will in the area...

AFAIK the US cannot restrict exports to a country that she herself exports to - and that applies to Pakistan.

This is a great reply straight from the horses mouth (so to speak). While I've never subscribed to any variation of these theories (technical difficulties in the F16 era and political suicide for the rest) the F35 does seem to have an Achilles heel in regards to how it has to be serviced. AFAIK...

While I generally agree that the plan in this state doesn't make much sense there are important implications : First of all the Bosphorus straits can't be blocked - but they can be heavily regulated citing "safety" concerns (which, TBH is a legit concern) and slow down the passage to say "5...

He's my favorite of the lot too, IMO ranking even higher then Yavuz. The circumstances of his rule, the hardship he had to go through and his steel will has been a wonder for me ever since I've read about him. Then again, the irony of his demise is not lost either :)

The reason Turkey needs a long range ballistic platform and a capable nuclear warhead to go with it is the same reason she can't have it. We only need this kind of deterrent against the US and Russia. Neither will sit on their hands as soon as we even try and develop a system like this. Proxy...

FYI this guy has been debunked many times over and is also a fraud. His claims on the F16 design has been repeatedly shown to be false.

Yes, it's fantastic. But it also comes with way too many strings attached, so many in fact that at the end of the day it's not worth it.

haklısın - "edit" kısmında yazdım.

Yanlışınız var, 301 sadece salt çoğunluk. Yasanın çıkabilmesi için 400 milletvekili, referanduma taşınabilmesi için 360 milletvekili gerekiyor. Yani MHP + AKP tek başına referanduma bile götüremiyor ülkeyi. Bu yüzden İYİ parti kilit noktada. Özetle durum şu : SALT ÇOĞUNLUK: Meclis üye tam...

You're welcome, but just in case people don't know this is what happened : FATF is Financial Action Task Force and it's a terrorism financing watchdog organization. The shitface called Trump (which from here on will be referred as to just shitface) has been pushing hard against Pakistan on...

This topic is misinformed :

Arkadaşlar, şu seçim 1 aydır kırdırdı insanları birbirine. Bu forumun dışında da insanların karnına ağrılar girdi. Belliki üç aşağı beş yukarı sonuç ortada gibi. Değilsede yarın belli olacak zaten - oyu kullandık oldu bitti. Rica ediyorum, şu tansiyon biraz düşsün - forum biraz nefes alsın...

You have no idea how prevalent and damaging this is in Turkey. The general consensus being "the idiots that vote for the AKP and the rest of the modern secular Turks" has led again and again to RTE winning every election he's been in. People don't trust the main opposition (CHP) when they...

The problem with the F35 is it's very heavy maintenance reliance on the US. Even as one of the biggest service centers in Europe with the capability to service the engines - as soon as the US cuts off critical service and maintenance the F35 turns into a flying duck. There's also rumors about...

I think a brief explanation of the main types of engines would be a good read, especially for people like me who don't have the expertise needed to understand the nuances of these complex machines ; http://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/systems/the-4-types-of-turbine-engines/ How The 4 Types...

Single engine, left + right 2 air intakes.

It's said to carry the SOM-A variant, which is probably going to be much lighter (and with a reduced range too) for the UAV.
