@bala Fine, we get it, you hate Turks.
On topic:
Israel apologized and Turkey accepted. I'm glad Turkey accepted the apology, I would've been disappointed if they would decline to be honest. I mean how would that make Turkey look? There is a saying in Turkish: 'Buyukler affeder', which roughly...
The G3's were license produced. The barrel life problem I think has more to do with the type of metal's being used then anything else. They could use existing methods to forge metal I guess, but then they would have to pay licensing to H&K or FN or whatever. MKEK is trying to avoid this I think...
Which accuracy international rifle did MKEK compare the BORA-12 with? Maybe it was referring to the Pakistani tender?
Eventhough BORA-12 is 308, I heard the Turkish military is happy with the rifle. MKEK got the experience from the BORA-12 project now, so I'm confident that MKEK can produce...
There were also Arabs on Ottoman side. Mistakes may have been made by all parties at the time, no reason to blame anyone bro. What happened has happened (Kader/Fate).
I already explained in my post about the political changes in Turkey and the effect it had on PKK. You not trusting Erdogan, I can't really say much about that, well maybe I could, but wouldn't really know what to say. Personally I think Erdogan is sticking his neck out with this, and I...
I said similar, not the same. If you go into detail, and the reason for being, then obviously they are different. But if you look at tactics, structure etc, they are similar.
So according to you, the PKK is stronger than ETA and IRA were (referring to finances and unlimited backing from...
IRA and ETA are very good examples. In what way is it different? IRA, ETA and PKK all had similar objectives, they were all separatists. The main objective being 'destabilizing the country'. I'm glad for England and Spain that they have solved this problem, and I think there is nothing wrong in...
I think that is something that will come in due time. Even if it turns out to be a cold war, I much rather have that than what we have currently. If PKK dissolves, then they have no one to support and have no reason to hate on the republic. If their hatred towards the Turkish republic is not fed...
Sorry, no offence or anything, but this post reminded me of this;
On topic, I'm okey with the negotiations between the government and PKK. If I look at IRA and ETA, they also negotiated an end to the problem, so I'm hoping for the best.
It would be handy for the 99m corvette's to have ESSM missiles (I don't know how comparable ESSM is with RAM missiles). It would future proof the ship for missiles procured in the future. It is also a good look for the corvette on the export market, the buyer will know VLS is a potential option...
According to the drawing I referred to, the Ada class (99 meters one) does have room for Mk 41 VLS right? I guess I am just hoping that the RMK builds will have VLS cells on board, maybe I'm even hoping that Ada 511, 512 will be getting the VLS a little later.
The Chinese light frigate is 135meters, while the Milgem corvette is 99.5 meters.
My question is though, are they planning to install Mk 41 VLS on the Milgem? I saw some concept drawings of the Milgem (from Orko) where it showed VLS on the ship. Did the artist base the incorporation of the VLS...
There is also forensic's involved, and it depends on what the video shows. I need to see the video and read the reason cited for dismissing the video, to form an opinion on if I think it's understandable to dismiss the video or not.
The UN report says that Israel didn't provide enough material...
The UN Palmer report stated that the Gaza blockade legal, which gives Israel the right to enforce the blockade on international waters. Turkey's foreign minister stated it was going to challenge the legality of the blockade in the international court of Justice.
There is more to note from this...
The L-96 can be configured to fire multiple rounds including .308 and .338 Lapua (according to the Wikipedia page). Maybe they'll configure the Bora-12 to fit Lapua in the future?
