I reckon Hell has a special place designed just for the British.

Way to go! Hopefully some day soon we'll also see heavy-lift UAVs capable of carrying water/chemicals and putting out the fire.

We're likely waiting for the US elections in the fall. If Trump wins again, we'll get the F-35s (sadly) and tuck the S-400s away for a "rainy day". This will bleed us money and slow down Hurjet and TF-X's development. If Trump loses and Biden wins, US-TR relations will deteriorate further. US...

Turkey can no longer be contained in the small post-WW1 shell the West had forced it into. We're quickly becoming a "medium power" and eventually we need to rebuild our empire. We have many small, suffering nations around us looking up to us for example and direction. If we can use religion as a...

Maybe you're right. Perhaps Khan isn't the man, but we have to start somewhere. We have to start setting the dominos in that direction so that when the time is right, all it'll take is a small push. As the saying goes; fortune favors the bold. We have to make moves to save Pakistan from the...

Greeks and their silly bitching and whining never end. This is evident from their mythology too. It's as if God created them for drama alone.

Building joint Pak-Turk bases is an excellent idea. We can do a similar model to what Turkey is doing in Somalia. From our perspective, a permanent joint naval base in Pakistan will allow Turkey constant presence in the Indian ocean and along with our base in Qatar, strengthen our pressure in...

I'm not actually endorsing this but since we're throwing crazy ideas out there, how about Mig-29K? They don't require a catapult so long as there's a ski-jump. All we'd need is install a cheap STOBAR system (basically a spring-loaded arresting wire) on TCG Anadolu for catching them for...

It's also possible that we're all deluded and Elon Musk is right. Perhaps the era of manned fighters is indeed over in favor of UCAV/drone warfare. If that's the case we're all wasting our money in rather stupid ways. Elon Musk says military drones will outlive fighter jets...

Enough with this division. Egypt should join Turkey and form a new "empire" (federal khaliphate?) like the good'ol days. Along with a few more countries with a shared vision for the future. Our combined economies and navies can rule the Mediterranean basin unchallenged for centuries, like it...

I did. And I just gave you an example of a military with NO CONSCRIPTS but a significantly higher suicide rate. Having said that, I can't cure ignorance.

No. It has nothing to do with conscripts. Suicide rate is even higher in the US military even though their soldiers are all "professionals" and very well paid compared to ours. The last published year (2018) amounted to 325 suicides. 2019 numbers are expected to be even higher. US has 3 times as...

I'm not talking about Indonesia, I'm talking about Turkey. We reside in different parts of the world. Bilateral relations between Korea and Indonesia may be entirely different than those between Korea and Turkey. Hence, there may have been subtle but significant differences in the details of the...

Korea didn't agree to give Turkey a "full partnership" in the KF-X program, including full access to all source codes and the ability to develop and install our own avionics and indigenous weapons. Korea didn't agree to that, which sounded to us an awful lot like "parts production only" and it...

If it wasn't worth it, 9 other states wouldn't have developed them. Like you said, it's the ultimate deterrent against attacks by conventional militaries. No one even THINKS about declaring war on a nuclear power. Even tiny North Korea has made itself untouchable.

And top attack capability.

US has killed 30 million people around the world since the end of WW2. Why doesn't Uncle Sam apologize to the international community for their crimes first?

Whatever does happen eventually, I think it's fair to assume it'll happen gradually rather than overnight. China still has the major problem of relying too much on US consumerism. That probably needs to be reduced and counter-balanced with significantly increased trade with the rest of the...

Caring for 4+ million Syrian refugees (in Turkey) Building schools, roads, hospitals, bringing electricity and running water to war-torn towns Trying to keep Syrian land borders intact by keeping US-armed PKK/YPG/Kurdish seperatists in check Killing the elements of Obama-founded terrorist...

Hey guys, is plutonium an absolute requirement for thermonuclear (hydrogen bomb) weapons? Or can they be manufactured with U235 alone? Thanks.
