The last 2 posts are misleading the conversation. The news is that the opposition rebels are getting Chinese drones for themselves while the government has Turkish ones. It's more of a political view point rather then a technological comparision. UAE vs Turkish funding etc.
No need for chest...
Turkey would prefer (imo) her airforce to be top notch but also to have a decently deterrent defense system in place. At the moment the SAM's are very old but they're being replaced.
Turkey is not ready if a full force CAATSA hits her. In 5 years or so though, it won't effect us militarily -...
Any details that you can give regarding this?
Oh? I was under the impression that a batch of 4 were the only ones to be manufactured. Are we planning more batches?
The only question that it fails to answer is "why is the project running so late at THIS STAGE of the programme".
The other questions are answered fully and with details not really heard before. So i think your dismissal doesn't apply here.
From what I could find on the internet Bournemouth air show gathered only 700k people in 2018. So they actually used the maximum number of attendees the festival ever got to compare. I'm more impressed now that I've seen them do this.
It's such a great move creating Teknofest. We finally have a...

Öncelikle tarihe tanıklık ettiğimizin farkında olmalıyız. Yaşananlar ve yazılanlar bundan 40 yıl sonra tarih olacak. Ufak da olsa bir veri bırakmak...
Hmm, this is a very clever use of laser systems (the downing of the UAV). What would be even better is to have groups of these vehicles, lets say 15 or so in every group.
Create the software so the lasers on every vehicle can be synchronized on the same spot. 15x the speed so you could use this...
Here's the article in full (it's behind a paywall) ;
he Turks are nothing if not fighters. Ottoman invaders got as far as Vienna in 1683, to the terror of Christian Europe. Fast forward to Gallipoli in 1915-16, where the Turks repulsed a huge Allied landing, one of their commanders being Kemal...
Probably a type of laser weapon - I remember Aselsan doing G2A tests using lasers.
OR maybe the railgun projects have mature a bit more and this is that.
The US is behaving weirdly for the last couple of years - even before Trump. They've managed to alienate most of the world and even lose Turkey.
In the long term this is going to bite them in the *** - it already led to the EU forming their own army (PESCO) which will inevitably lead to less...
Both, Turkey want's an exception for the S-400 for the time being. If she's satisfied that her membership is valued in NATO that would probably be the end of it.
If she feels that NATO barely tolerates her (S-400 or not) then Turkey will seek the least resistant path for full independence from...
Does anyone have more in depth knowledge about the TF-2000? Like what's the current status of the project - is it under design or are they waiting for the radar and other tech to catch up before they design the ship.
Also, related, whats the status of ÇAFRAD atm? I remember tests being done a...
Yep, my bad - i meant the Hürjet. I was hoping smaller jets could use the landing strip to take off but it looks like that's not possible, too bad :(
Shameless plug :) But I've done a very basic comparision on the combat radiuses of some fighters with the T-FX ;
The F-16 and F-35 because we...
I want to derail the conversation a bit to the Hürkuş. Now that the specs and expectations from the T-FX is more or less intact, it's becoming increasingly obvious that this is going to be a big bird.
Since we're not going to be able to probably buy and F35B's, and even if we did they will...
I wonder how effective the transfer is? If it's about the missiles being used that will be a huge boon for us - the radar systems, while still being useful, we could do without.
You know that's actually pretty clever of the US (while still being a huge dick move nonetheless). Instead of letting Russia create rifts and headaches between your partners - you outright make it very costly for them to sell their equipment - which will lead said equipment to be rendered way...
Well quite literally the US has stationed her soldiers on the battlefield to be used as deterrents and is daring everyone including Turkey to touch them. Yes, we're independent on some issues - but even if we were 100% independent no one is going to attack the US unless their country is already...
It sounds like we're both saying the same thing here right?
I'm not sure I agree with this part though, every imperialist country in the war is against any action Turkey makes in the area, by this logic how can you define Turkey jumping in bed with other imperialists?
You COULD say that...
