People are blowing a single PR tweet and one anonymously sourced report way out of proportion. What Israel said is basically we want to normalize our ties, they always did. How realistic is that? Low, with Erdogan and Netanyahu's relationship being the main problem.

And I don't care about ignorant people. Good that its settled then. Not that it had anything to do with anything.

I wonder what the range of that thing will be.

There were also reports about Turkish companies shifting production to Bulgaria to circumvent the sanctions, guess thats no longer needed. Good news for the industry.

Exciting news. Another product that we didn't have in the inventory and will not have import in the forseeable future. Still I don't understand why O and U will be mounted on MAN and Mercedes Trucks instead of something with local input like a Otokar or BMC truck.

In my opinion, defense tech is so interesting, because it is leading to innovation and eventually brings that innovation to civilians products. Our companies have not been doing that at all. Now I know that missiles will probably not have any civilian use cases, but other stuff does and thats...

You know, I dont know this guy or this newspaper, but not everyone with a different opinion has to have an agenda. --- On the topic: The data on the imports can be interepreted in different ways and one way could be that companies anticipated the sanctions incoming and stockpiled supplies. So...

I think the Turkish-Qatari relations will remain positive even after Tayyip. You don't invite the forces of another country just because you like one politician. And many new friendships will start right there too. In fact there would be more doors opening, than closing.

+ Procurement of S400. But at least the first two are no issue anymore.

Why would you put a multi billion Dollar asset somewhere else, if not in the heart of the country, where we dont have any adequate air defence at all. I'm fairly sure that the S400 will remain in storage forever. Erdogan is already trying to kiss American asses again, might even have to buy...

Placing it in Tripoli will be a waste of tax money, placing it on Cyprus will not solve the issue. Americans can still claim that F35 would be to close to the system.

I'm thinking about fire retardend bombs to stop the fires from the start. Or satelites using AI to detect fires in the early stages, but that's probably sci-fi as of now.

Vestel will create a joint-venture with a local Saudi company and produce 46 Karayel UAVs over the next 5 years for the Saudi forces. https://www.defenceturk.net/suudi-arabistan-2021den-itibaren-turk-sihasini-uretecek

Only two days ago I was trashing Vestel for not doing anything and now this, maybe someone speaking arabic can confirm what the tweet says. For the non Turkish speakers: Vestel will create a joint-venture with a local Saudi company and produce 46 Karayel UAVs over the next 5 years for the...

Turkish students increasingly resisting religion, study suggests https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/29/turkish-students-increasingly-resisting-religion-study-suggests Good news, everyone.

I already know the answer, but: is the number inflation adjusted SIPRI?

Interesting report about suicide prevention in the Turkish Armed Forces, including a trigger guard shell. Around 90 soldiers commit suicide per year according to this report. Something that needs to be addressed and I hope the responsible people do more than just making it harder to pull the...

Turkish Lira is losing value and has been for a while against pretty much all the big currencies. Has its advantages, like Turkish products are cheaper to buy for the export markets but also disadvantages because Turkish companies and even the country itself has loans in € or Dollar that need to...

I absolutely not understand how this is even worth a topic. People are in need, people get material from countries that can help. This is not even aid but paid as far as I know. And as much as I despise the current government, it is the right thing to do. Also crisis diplomacy is the best...

I think competition is best, but it should be fair. Also Vestel should just sell their drone business or merge it with Bayraktar because at this point it seems like they are not developing anything anymore.
