    More than 50000 dead, many trapped as major earthquake strikes Turkiye, Syria,..,.

    Not like that. Some "bipedal coyotes" are building illegal houses on no-construction lands with the expectation that "it will become legal somehow in the future". Or, for example, it illegally builds an additional floor for buildings that should legally have 5 floors. Governments stuck with...

    More than 50000 dead, many trapped as major earthquake strikes Turkiye, Syria,..,.

    Two major earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.8 and 7.7 occurred in the same place, one after the other. These earthquakes took place 9 hours apart. This was something very rare. While the expected earthquake acceleration in the construction regulations on the construction of buildings against...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Aren't we "inspired" by NATO technology too? Last time I checked, there was not a single university from Turkiye in the world's top 500 university rankings. There were quite a few universities in China. And again, last time I checked, the Chinese did not lose gold medals in the Olympics in the...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    @LegionnairE ; Yes, I was wondering too, what is the reason for this self-confidence? Do we know about the real capabilities of the Chinese fighter that you speak with such confidence? Or how do we know that our fighter will give the performance we expect?

    Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

    Autoloader technology is a simple technology. We can develop it ourselves without providing it from anyone. For example, we already did this in Korkut SPAAG. My only reservation about the unmanned turret is that due to the ammunition being stored inside the hull, a possible hit to the...

    Unironically: Could declaring Sharia Law in Pakistan solve it's insurgency problem?

    Pakistan cannot solve its TTP-related problems (and indeed all other problems) by further "Islamizing" it. You've been repeating same mistake since the 40's and you only get more problems. First of all, you have to start by admitting that you have a problem with Pashtuns because of the Durand...

    Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

    At least if the UTKU power pack (1000 HP) had proven its performance and reliability, I would have been relieved. We were too late in engine and transmission technologies, we should have started in the 60s. The world is saying "goodbye to mechanical transmissions" as it transitions to electric...

    Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

    With the Korean power pack, 90 Tanks will be produced in the first place, not 30. And as can be seen, our minimum Altay requirement is foreseen as 240 units. Because, thanks to the advances in our ( domestic power pack technology + unmanned turret technology + active/passive armor technology...

    Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

    Those first two tanks will be tested by the Army with the South Korean power pack. If the Army approves, deliveries for mass production will begin in 2025. The first 90 tanks will be produced with this power pack. Then, if the BATU power pack can deliver the desired performance and durability...

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    I think you despise TC state too much. For example, Erdogan cannot sell drones to Armenia even if he wants to.

    Turkish Naval Programs

    As for the question, the EF purchase is unreasonable if you ask me. I don't think it will happen either, that purchase. For this reason, and since Turkey has no intention of starting a war, such an encounter will not occur. Collaboration with UK for TFX engine? OK, it's fine. The C-130J...

    Turkish Naval Programs

    No. The ships that the UK put up for sale do not have the sonar mentioned. There is no logical reason for me to buy these ships. If it is a concession for the TFX engine, then it would be a sensible purchase. If the Milgem project had not been interfered with for political reasons, 4+4 Milgem...

    If EF Typhoons to be purchased, i) do not have radar and we are going to integrate our own AESA radar, ii) we can introduce our own domestic missiles, iii) they will be delivered immediately and will be operational within 1 year, then I think it would be logical to purchase EF Typhoons. Because...

    Turkish Naval Programs

    The reason for purchasing the C-130J is actually very simple. A400M is a good aircraft, but the number of aircraft is insufficient. We only have 10 of them. In addition, we know the C-130s very well, and we are very familiar with their operation and maintenance. Others, IMO may be some sort of...

    US Army set to field new rifle and light machine gun in 2023

    It would be very easy to convert the MPT-76 into a form capable of handling this ammo (6.8 mm). Because the infrastructure of the MPT-76 is very suitable for this. However, I think we will have problems with the under-license production of that ammo. The USA wants to sell itself directly, if it...
