    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    They have the audacity to tell the public that "the targets were immediately put under fire with our equipment and were "damaged"". Motherfucking spineless assholes.

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    This shows the lack of critical thinking and any understanding of how military deterrents work. While we're slowly but surely acquiring better gear and weapons for our army the mentality seems to have shifted to a classic middle east army setup: Spend more money, get better weapons but jump...

    Turkey’s ‘marry your rapist’ law has taken women’s rights right back to the 1950s

    Holy shit, talk about taking things out of context. This is a massive alteration by the shit-rag called the independent, and no one is surprised. It's borderline false news. Ok for the sake of everyone involved, here's what's really going on : 1. What this law is This is a weird and morphed...

    Turkish Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Alright - this was amusing but really really annoying to read through. I'm looking for news regarding any oil discoveries being made in the Mediterranean and the last 5 pages was full of weird and morbid fantasies. Firstly to my brethren, the Turks : We're not going to fight the Greek, no gain...

    Germany Has Fewer Than 10 Tiger And 12 NH90 Helicopters Ready For Combat

    Alright fair enough, but where does all the money you spend go to though? You're spending quite an insane amount with little to no combat ready equipment.

    Another milestone of Turkish Aerospace: TAI's New Supersonic UAV Göksungur Waiting 2020

    Apart from being a wingman why else would you use jet propelled drones for? Wouldn't they be immensely expensive to maintain in the air thus defeating the purpose of a drone? Then again maybe SEAD missions could be more feasible with speed? Someone enlighten me please.

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    With its sea skimming capability, is SOM being sub-sonic that big a deal?

    Greek Mirage 2000 locks a Turkish frigate

    This thread has turned into a bashing game with virtually no redeemable info being shared. I think it should be locked.

    Turkish Missile Programs

    So am I getting this right : - We can "modify" to some extent our A2A missiles (that are still under development) and use them like the French to get around 150km's of range - But for extended range of up to 400km's the missiles need to be designed for this purpose from the start In that line...

    Turkish Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    "For now". International relations have only a single basis, the short term gains vs the long term consequences. Apart from that, all's free game. You're telling me we'll not align our interests with the French from now on - like never? How much is Greece's goodwill worth in France? How much...

    Turkish Missile Programs

    That's really informative - thanks. Can you shed any light on how an AA system could reach around 400km's in range (like the 40N6E used on the S-400 systems). Is the concept same? Use a high range base A2A missile and add boosters?

    Turkish Engine Programs

    This is heartening to hear. I really hope that the government stops with the silly "TR Engine" crap and gives the project for MMU engines entirely to TEI to distribute as they see fit.

    T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

    That's just an unsigned blog post that has no weight at all. Event with CATSAA on the T-129 engines, the export will only be delayed 2 years at max as the Turkish engine is on it's way and past critical stages of development.

    Turkish Aviation Programs

    But he said something like "we were at 1.3billion USD when I came, and in 1 year we doubled that to 2billion, so to add another zero isn't impossible in 10 years". Then again, he might have been talking about turnover in that part too. Not sure.

    Turkish Aviation Programs

    Very basic summary : We're at 2billion USD export as TUSAS (Turkeys aircraft manufacturing firm) right now, but we've been pouring all our energy into creating prototypes and developing new projects. We're at a crossroads and at the hard part of the journey. In a total of 10 years all of the...

    Turkish Sensor and Detector Programs

    That kind of thinking led to Turkey's very VERY late defense industry realization. We could have been on par with Europe if we hadn't abandoned all projects after Atatürk (1940's) and said "the US will NEVER sanction us". Cyprus (1974) was a very harsh and rude awakening. Egypt should be very...

    Request from Turkish members

    I second this - but looks like I was a little late to the party :) As I understand it, matters that are international will be discussed in the Europe section rather then in the ME section right? For example there are threads in the ME section about some Technological breakthroughs (for Turkey)...

    Syria says US, Turkish troops must withdraw 'immediately'

    Well all in all, Syria has to be able to control her territories and maintain basic infrastructure to be able to make demands. Currently she doesn't have any control over anything - including the parts that are controlled by the SAA. It's a Russia vs US proxy game in the south, and Turkey vs the...

    Chinese drones hunt Turkish drones in Libya air war

    Who takes control over the Libian country. The current government (backed by UN, Turkey and a few more EU countries) or the Rebels (backed by UAE and Saudi Arabia, and France I think?). The US, as always, is playing for both sides, so she has herself covered. The second rate power countries...

    Syria says US, Turkish troops must withdraw 'immediately'

    Posturing. Syria is reminding everyone that a government exists and has the capability to make demands (though no capability to back them up). Because for anyone following the war it looks like there are Kurds / Rebels / US / Russia and Turkey there with Iran trying to get a foothold. You...
