In that order or are you just listing their trainers ? Why is there 3 subsonic jet trainers and no supersonic ones ?
What is used for basic and advanced training out of those 4 ? I am guessing the Hawk is the advanced trainer ?
Can this be due to the type of trainers being used. What type of training do these pilots get during their time at the academy and after ?
For example Turkish Pilots during their degrees at the academy do glider training (till they get their Class A license this is also optional people who are...
OINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. A U.S. soldier who pleaded guilty Wednesday to the murders of three Afghan civilians was sentenced to 24 years in prison after saying "the plan was to kill people" in a conspiracy with four fellow soldiers.
Military judge Lt. Col. Kwasi Hawks said he initially...
You can either believe the videos as well as CNN and Al Jazeera reports(along with almost all right and left wing media outlet reports) and eyewitness rebel accounts(along with reporter accounts) that it is happening or say none of it is true and keep hating the west. Its all one big conspiracy...
The people being Muslim have nothing to do with the issue at hand stop bringing religion into everything like it is a trump card to justify NATO as the bad guy. This is NATO led arms embargo on Libya so Gaddafi doesn't get arms. Turkey is providing ships for this reason and this is also what the...

Turkish Navy To Help NATO Enforce Libya Embargo
According to Reuters, Turkey agreed to provide 4 frigates, one submarine and one support ship to NATO, so that NATO can enforce the arms embargo imposed on Libya.
The alliance had...
This is a idiotic move plain and simple. Does Vecdi Gönül think Turkey is the only nation not getting source codes ? Every single nation that has ordered the aircraft (including ones that placed greater orders then us) are not getting any source codes. Before announcing stuff like this these...
I would bet their pilots also get minimal flight hours too. Goes to show regardless of what you buy if you don't have trained and qualified people to operate/maintain them then they don't do you much good.

Just to make it clear. This was the second one we stopped. The first one had no weapons on it however this one did.
I think this is a clear message to Iran that we do not support armament of terror proxies. Maybe Iran thought their new found friendship with Turkey would lead them to...
Idk if Pakistan buying OHPs were influenced by us but they make great long range frigates. The Turkish navy seems to like that. We usually have them deployed in different regions all the time and they have been the only types used in our piracy missions with all of them being rotated at one...
The type 41 seems viable to me. If Pakistan went with those. Whether these are on par with western submarines is speculation though. Germany has been putting out submarines since WW2 they have it down to a science at this point(other European nations have operated out of consortium's on some...
Certainly we have had a lapse in air defence. While the HAWK XXIs and Raiper can provide medium intercepts we have nothing for long range high altitude coverage. These also are not the most capable missiles out there and besides aircraft i would not count on them to intercept any type of...
We should be doing heavy Intel gathering during these ceasefire games the PKK is playing. Then when they announce their end be the first to launch attacks on their strongholds. If we kept up what we did to them in the 90s i doubt they would have had much capability left now.
