Turkey will take its first delivery of U.S.-made F-35 warplanes on June 21........Two fighter pilots from the Turkish Air Forces are getting special training in the U.S..........After the training is completed, the F-35 jets are planned to be brought to Turkey in September of 2019...

If the U.S. doesn't sell the F-35 to Turkey and goes on to embargo Turkey; they might also encourage the Europeans to do the same - including the U.K. . Look how much pressure they ( the U.S.) have put on Turkey when they were thinking of buying China's HQ-9/FD-2000 Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM)...

I'm not sure how this works....but can I privately message you from here?

This sounds like a "carrot and stick" policy to me - Apart from the disingenuous "offer" to develop Patriot missiles together, they also remind (threaten) that action can be taken through CAATSA (Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act). Who needs enemies when you have friends...

Although very sad to see, these are only opposition MPs - a bunch wannabes. Hopefully the ruling party in the UK will not take such a foolish path....let's wait and see. Try to remember that there even exists opposition MPs (milletvekilleri) in the Turkish Parliament that try to support the...

Yes, I think it is the first one.. "if you place the system at the edge of Turkish soil on either side, it shows the range of the missile system ?" S-400s maximum range is 400km.

I agree - this would be a good compromise. This will allow Turkey to test and refine all its electronics and weapon systems without foreign interference ( I assume Pakistan to be a brotherly nation that would do everything it can for Turkey).

At the moment, as far as I remember, Turkey cannot even install "Ozgür" on the latest F-16 D variants. The F-35 has millions of lines of software (source code) that even the U.S. is struggling to refine or improve. Even in cars the "brain" or ECU (engine control unit) controls everything. From...

Since nobody is going to launch an engine on its own....and this motor was designed for SOM, do you not think that the weight and fuel of the SOM has been accounted for? (What would be the point of announcing that only the engine could reach this speed and duration?).

@cabatli_53 Did anybody else notice that at 1:00:32 of the video it lists the capability of the "milli" - national turbojet motor as having a speed of 0.95 mach(1173 km/hr) and the ability to continue for 1 hour .......Does this mean that we can assume that the new range for the SOM missile...

Well spotted.....maybe they used different sized feet... haha. ( Not very professional)

To be honest, I had always looked forward to F-35s joining the Turkish air force (THK) but with all the political problems that now exist between the U.S. and Turkey, it worries me to think that Turkey will be reliant on a plane that the U.S. might be able to disable with just a "flick of a switch".

I think there is a spelling mistake - the word is meant to be "zırh" meaning "armour". Ethem Sancak, motor geliştirme çalışmalarına ilişkin de bilgiler verdi. Sancak, şunları kaydetti: "Türkiye, 3 yıl içinde 5 bin beygire kadar motorunu yüzde 100 yapacak. Bunun için yola çıkıldı, güçler...

They are essentially the same thing - except LHDs are bigger than LPDs. No kktc flag available to use for country

I personally believe that the radar system in Turkey is mainly important to the United States because it is their best and quickest way to receive an early warning of any ballistic missile launches by Iran against Israel. It is all about Israel - Any attempt to dismantle this radar system will...

@DESERT FIGHTER Are u using smoothbore on altay? Yes - the Altay will field a 120mm smoothbore main gun https://www.militaryfactory.com/armor/detail.asp?armor_id=570
