Pretending that all Arabs country conform to one people or nation. A Jordanian is not the same as a Libyan, so stop pretending you do. Also didnt you also send a couple of your junkboxes to Hafaz forces? When interests and coincidences align, its never a coincidence. Love how you justify it...
Not. Those areas are controlled by HTS, a recognized terrorist organisation by Turkey, USA and Syria alike. They refused to submit and join the National Syrian Army. The Astana agreement dictates that we neutralize terrorist entities. We tried to get them join the NSA by disarming and...
Damn that entire episode was so painfully mediocre and generic. Lost my shit the moment the Dothraki charged. The director did an extremely good job with what was given to him, even though the lighting could have been way better. The writing however is one of the worst aspect of the entire...
This is definitly good news. The initial 4 orders are from more then a decade ago. The requirements and needs of our navy has rightfully and understandably shifted. Especialy with the acquisition of first, and soon to be second, LHD/Light Aircraft Carrier. The Frigate fleet can be upgraded only...
Our primary interest more lies in securing our borders from seperatist terrorists. Its why our industry has produced such high quality anti-insurgency weapon systems. Becoming the dominant naval power in the Eastern Med is also a primary mid/long term goal to secure our EEZ and borders. Dont...
There are many alternatives by its very definition. Not to say they will be just as good as the F-35 though. Either way the F-35 should still be the fifth gen to pursue despite tension with the US.
Hmkay.
There are some alternatives at the very least. Despite the short list there are certainly functioning contenders for the fifth generation stealth fighter jet fleet but there is non for the F-35B. The uniqueness of such an aircraft is underestimated. Its a VTOL fifth generation fighter jet. No...
This is why the F-35 is strategicaly more important then S-400 on the long run. Its easy to find alternatives to the F-35A's but there probably will not be one for the F-35B for a long time to come.
Erdogan is a master manipulator and egomaniac of the highest order. A man who would sacrifice the well being and future of the country he is suppose to run for short term gains solely so his party could get votes.
He is a populist at heart, a man who makes decisions that makes him look good but...
Let them. This is certainly not a position we would like to be in but in the long term this will damage the US more then it will Turkey, especially in terms of logistics and geopolitics. Not to mention we already have a couple in service already, they are just not allowed to leave the US yet...
Doesnt surprize me. I took a massive hiatus from this forum myself when a Chinese member happily explained that they could burn Uyghurs whenever they please and that there was nothing we could do about it. Instead of him getting banned for his disgusting comments, i got banned temp from the...
Dont see how this is an issue. I dont really expect Turks to work in Japan in masse. Japan's problem is more due to the lack of unskilled blue color workers, which they will get plenty from the Eastern and South-Eastern nations. They are already begrudgingly importing workers, so atleast they...
That makes no sense though. There is absolutely an immediate need for new battle tanks as proven by the countless ventures and projects Iran underwent to upgrade and supplement its tank fleet. Their tank fleet is ancient and useless against modern weaponry as proven in the Syrian Civil War...
