Koreans sell tanks to Turkey? please share that deal because we didnt hear anything about that. and it looks impossible to me.In the future, they will also be reliant on spare parts from the US and other NATO countries. They recently signed a deal to sell hundreds of tanks to Turkey. The Turks turned to South Korea since the Germans refuse to sell spare parts for the Leopard 2. However the South Koreans themselves are reliant on Germany for vital components, especially for the transmission on their tank. Therefore presently the entire Altay tank program is at a standstill.

Are you that much of Turkish troll?
The Atlay tank is based on the South Korean K2 tank chassis. This is well known and a simply Google search will educate you.
next time dont post news before read, news is mentioning about engine and transmission not selling whole "TANK"Turkey in talks with South Korea to salvage Altay tank program
A source with knowledge of Turkey's Altay program has told Defense News that the country is negotiating with a South Korean firm in an attempt to recover the struggling project.www.defensenews.com
no i am not a troll, why do call me as a troll when i correct your false claims?Are you that much of Turkish troll?
Ahh yes,the joys of finding oneself having to rely on politically unreliable suppliers,nato membership notwithstanding....South Koreans are building several KF-X prototypes. 92% complete. Rollout expected in April. Very impressive. The first version is set to be a 4.5 generation fighter jet with various weapons carried on external hardpoints. The 2nd version is set to be a fully stealth 5th generation fighter jet with an internal weapons bay. However as impressive as this is, truthfully, without vital components from the United States and European nations, there's no way they would be able to do this.
Realistically 5th generation fighter jets, just like stealth bombers, are only accessible to a handful of countries that have the resources, infrastructure and funding to build such weapons. Smaller countries can build such weapons but only with the help of those select few nations.
In the future, they will also be reliant on spare parts from the US and other NATO countries. As an example, South Korea recently signed a deal to sell hundreds of tanks to Turkey. The Turks turned to South Korea since the Germans refuse to sell spare parts for the Leopard 2. However the South Koreans themselves are reliant on Germany for vital components, especially for the transmission on their tank. Therefore presently the entire Altay tank program is at a standstill.
So a technilogical monopoly of sorts exists when it comes to such advanced weapons systems. With that in mind, realistically I don't see the Qaher being a viable option for Iran because first of all Iran building a 5th generation fighter jet by itself seems unfeasible and honestly it's small size would mean that its internal weapons bay would not be large enough to carry any serious payload.
I believe that Iran's only realistic shot at acquiring a 5th generation fighter jet in the near future will be the SU-57. I'm guessing the Russians will be eager to find a serious buyer since they need revenue to build more SU-57s and other advanced weapons for themselves. Especially with the potential of upcoming sanctions related to Navalny, this would sqeeze their finances even more. The Chinese J-20 isn't absolutely out of the question either but the Iranian airforce seems eager to buy Russian. Only time will tell
Hey btw is it just me or does the KF-X and the proposed Turkish TF-X look extremely similar to the F-22 ?

True statements..but in order to do reverse Eng ,Turks have the problem of intellectual Property (IP) rights issue. They can not copy without being sued or sanctioned... for Iran that is the second positive thing about being sanctioned to the neck...IP rights do not apply (the first positive thing is the sanctions themselves..lol).Ahh yes,the joys of finding oneself having to rely on politically unreliable suppliers,nato membership notwithstanding....
I think the turks are now finding this unpleasant little fact out for themselves.
If it had been me,I simply would`ve started a reverse/reengineering program to produce an indigenous copy of the aforementioned Renk transmission literally the minute that the germans said "Nein!",hell I would`ve had a back up reverse/reengineering program running quietly behind the scenes merely just in case they said "Nein!".....but then thats just me.
they can use their f-5 derivative instead of working on those Mirages for example, or if they like the mirages more stop working on F-5 and concentrate on the mirages . they must decide a platform and concentrate on itThey don't have any new plan , nor any will to change the situation ...

Turkey wants a fast route to Nuclear and Aircraft Tech and they have decided that Pakistan is the source for them and that is why now they are schmoozing to Pakistan looking for Tech.
IP is regulated through patents by every country and/or union. That’s why if you invent something and want to protect your IP, then you need to file for patent in every single country you wish to protect your IP. If you fail to do so in a specific country then that country will not protect you IP and even worse another organization may file a patent instead. Happens all the time!First of all Iran is not signatory to IP protection laws in UN charter (neither is China).
Second of all, sanctions have ZERO impact on IP theft. Iran can sued by Russia (or any country) in International Court for IP theft if it wishes. Same way Iran sued Russia for breach of contract in S-300 case.
Most important of all is not to piss off a country you wish to buy more arms from in the future over IP theft issue like China did to Russia. So while Iran could get away with IP theft of US products (not like it’s going to order more US arms anytime soon) IP theft of Russian arms will need to be carefully though thru.
A foreign company that has an office or representative in Iran can file for its patent and those patent and trademark will be protected .IP is regulated through patents by every country and/or union.

basically no foreign country owns a patent inside Iran. Which means that Iran can copy whatever they want AS LONG AS it is marketed inside Iran. If Iran exports that product to another country which recognizes that IP because a patent has been filed by the inventors then the company responsible for the distribution will be sued and all products confiscated.
