Turkey won't be getting any F-35s now, or 10 years later. This is a GOOD THING, and here's why: It's just a 10 minute video interview with the designer of the super-successful F-16 and A-10 fighters. Please watch it and understand why the F-35 is fundamentally flawed and doomed to fail...

Turkey doesn't interfere in East Turkestan at a level that would necessitate Chinese weapons embargo. It's pretty much limited to political rhetoric for internal consumption. Turkey and China continue to have excellent trade, political and sure enough, military relations. That said, I don't see...

My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

ÇölKaplanı bro I'm not saying S-400 is a wunderwaffe, far from it. It was simply a geopolitical necessity to acquire. Up above I simply gave an example to how even the AMERICANS are saying what the F-35 really is. The link I shared is one of many such criticisms arising from US public towards...

Even the Americans themselves are calling the F-35 an overpriced and overhyped "flying lemon" with the sole aim of ripping off US "allies". https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/magazine/f35-joint-strike-fighter-program.html

What's the point of training our pilots for an aircraft (F-35) we'll never receive? S-400 isn't the only problem standing in the way of Turkish F-35s. The main issue here is USA's greater Turkey & Middle East policy. S-400 was acquired as a response to USA's Gulenist/FETO coup d'etat which...

Sorry, that's classified, sir. :police:

Turkey won't be receiving any F-35s (or other fighters from the US like F-16) unless and until Ak Parti (Erdogan) government is toppled by a landslide election victory by the CHP (highly unlikely) or a more ominous and sinister method like a coup d'etat or assassination (also highly unlikely)...

Satellite. Turkish military has dedicated channels/transponders on all the Turksat series of satellites. But data link is only necessary for certain modes of operation. Missiles are smart enough to pick targets based on certain target signatures (infrared, location, size, velocity, etc) Laser...

TRG-300K is INS/GPS guided but back in 2018 there were some news about Roketsan developing an EO/IR/Laser seeker for it to make CEP even smaller than 10m and allow the missile to precision-strike moving targets such as military convoys and ships. For example...

I don't know if it was discussed in depth in some other thread. This is just my personal opinion on the matter which you're more than welcome to disagree with.

Guys, what's the most trainable Turkish dog breed?

Agree with Baybars. Turkey's days of buying foreign fighters (especially from the US) is over. F-35 isn't the only issue to be overcome. US also needs to cease its support of FETO and PKK/YPG for relations to normalize, which requires a complete reversal of US Middle East policy. I just can't...

Calm down. Sending you a memo isn't on anyone's priority list. If Turkey is getting ready to mass produce hundreds of Bozdogan and Gokdogan missiles, it clearly means our F-16s are ready to operate those missiles.

We don't need US source codes. We've developed an indigenous mission computer with our own source codes. It's been years, folks. Please get with the program. We'll even start using some of our F-16s as testbeds for the upcoming Aselsan AESA radar soon. Our goal is complete and absolute...

Yes. Block 30's date back to 2013 and the Ozgur project. But it's now available for ALL TurAF F-16s thanks to Aselsan and Tubitak-SAGE: http://www.sage.tubitak.gov.tr/sites/images/sage/teknolojivesilahsistemgelistirmekomutanligitanitimi.pdf Turkey no longer gives a rat's *** about US...

If you live in peace with your neighbors, than why do you STILL need the US to maintain ~40,000 troops in Germany? Hasn't it been long enough since the collapse of the USSR & GDR and even longer since the WW2? There are whole US states with fewer American troops than in Germany...

Added you. Hit me up on chess.com so that we can arrange a time for a few quick games. Cheers.

Lecturing me about provocation and trying to provocate me all in the same go? You're late to the party, pal. If you've got a bone to pick with me, take a number and get in line. When was the last time ze Germany fought a "modern, powerful and intact army" and won? Oh yes, I thought so. Fact of...

That's absolutely right. No more fighter jets from the US until the following issues are resolved: US support of Gulenist/FETO terrorist organization and coup d'etat attempts for undermining Turkish democracy. F. Gulen must be extradited to Turkey. US support, training and arming of PKK/YPG...
