    On a related note: the EU has kicked-off the joint development for an unmanned ground vehicle platform (integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System, iMUGS). Article is in German, but you can get a decent translation with deepl...

    Developments and Turkish operations in Libya

    Sounds like a lot of BS, Syrian mercenaries received a couple hundred Dollars in Syria. I dont't know the source but this makes it sound like Turkey is ripping the Libyan government.

    Turkish Air Defence Programs

    Someone please explain, if they will be able to deter Hafters planes. Because if Hisar-O is being used it has a range/altitude of 15km according to wikipedia. The SU-24 has a service ceiling of 11km, so should be ok but the MIG-29 has a service ceiling of 18km so, most likely out of range...

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    That was my initial thought too. What we sometimes do in the software industry is heavily discount licenses to good brands, in order to get the deal and to have the reference/brand on your website. Which will lead to more sales, because of the references. But this is just 200m Lira, so I dont...

    The advantages of nuclear weapons against conventionally well-armed rivals?

    The fallout of attacking a nuclear powerplant on an international scale, will be the demise of whatever country that does that. It will literally poison that particular place and the surroundings for centuries.

    Çay Bahçesi

    Last couple years have seen violence against women skyrocketing. The problems starts in the childhood, our boys have the wrong idea of masculinity means. And women learning that they are free and don't have to stay or listen to their loser husbands is the other part of the story. Turkish women...

    Which stop gap fighter would you prefer for TurAF?

    That's what I've been thinking ever since the F35/S400 fiasco, one day they will return and offer it - but the conditions will be worse, maybe no local input. But the good thing is by then the price of one F35 will have probably further decreased. Price is down to 80m Dollars by 2020.

    Turkish Economy - News & Updates

    Turkcell had problems for decades because of a fight between the owner companies. Turkcell is a healthy company, Telia probably wanted to get rid of a never ending story.

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    It's a done and developed product, no need to keep changing it like with Anka. The next versions can have a higher domestic share imo.

    Developments and Turkish operations in Libya

    If that map was correct the airfield would be in shelling range. A couple of Firtinas or cheap *** Grads should be able to damage the airfield long enough, probably not the aircraft shelters. Of course if the map is accurate.

    Turkish Forces Intercepted 18 tonnes of Bootleg Alcohol In Istanbul

    How about no. Let me ask you something, as a French. Do you agree with Macrons rhetoric? I mean hating Erdogan, I can understand that. But what is Macrons goal here? To weaken NATO? To empower Russia?

    Best case 80% of the value, worst case 80% of the parts. I think in most cases its the latter. See for example our engine problems.

    Turkish Air Defence Programs

    Then why have have long range air defence tender for two decades, for a stop gap solution at best, if HISAR-O is supposed to go into production in 2023. Maybe someone can explain, because I'm out of the loop.
