Gulf countries back in the day helped Turkey finance the purchase of 80-100 F-16's from the USA by making Turkey take their side during the Gulf Wars. During Erdoğan's years some of these companies were sold or given share so that Qataries and other Gulf countries could actually help with the...
We surely produce high-quality stuff but lack in budget. That's why most of these goods never go in serial production and eventually just wander through various events without finding any buyer.

These fake borders were drawn by the imperialists anyway so if...
If the Americans are willing to pay the compensation money for canceling S-400 order and offer Patriots at a convenient price why not? We're already building our own defense systems they only need 4-5 years to mature but we also work with several European companies to develop another system as...
