Doesn't Tusas have a licence to build F110 engines for Turkish F16s? And Part of the F35 deal was Turkey would be one of the locations where F35's would be sent for overhaul and repairs?

Turkey builds the F110 engines for the f16s as well as the F136 engines for the F35 jets, why can't the knowledge gained from that be used to build an indigenous engine for the TF-X?
Surely there must be some black projects which do this?
Ironic when you consider the greatest genocide in history was against the native Americans. Not just a people or a nation but an entire continent was slaughtered of its original peoples to be replaced by settlers from far off lands.

Can you elaborate on this? I don't see the economic benefit of countries like Cyrpus and Libya sending LNG to Egypt to sell to Europe when they could do it themselves, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
Also whenever there are plans on becoming an energy hub politics and economics get...
Turkey has been surrounded by a ring of fire since the birth of the Republic. Nothing new here.
If anything, Turkey has never been stronger. The PKK is on the backfoot, spring has past and most of the fighting has been outside of Turkey's border.

Like I said that's on Erdogan. He allowed this form of communication. He could of made it consequential. Try killing some US or Israeli or French troops and see if it goes unanswered! Russia has many strategic projects with Turkey. Turkey could of responded appropriately or made clear to...
Your really not getting the gist of what I'm saying.
Russia isn't the grandmaster in Syria who everyone goes to for "permission" to do something. Russia was against it,the Kremlin controlled media was against it, and if you watch them closely you will see they always wait for Putin before...
There's over a million catholics in SA, mostly Filipino workers so it makes sense.
It wont be in Medina city centre since christians are banned from Mecca and central Medina. Outside the central district there are many guest workers from christian countries.
I would be more impressed if he...
I wasn't implying erdogan forced Russia to submit to his will. I'm saying there's a balancing act from all sides. Its not all about the will of Putin. He isn't this all mighty 3d chess playing master genius some people who idolise him make him out to be. He has to play the game too.
Russia was against the Afrin op.
Remember how the kremlin media framed the meeting between Akar and Fidan with the Russian General staff. It was reported they showed the Russian their plans and the Russian side laughed at them.
If you look through Russia Today during Olive Branch, it was...
Yeah I noticed, usually it's Saudi's or Egyptians. I'm surprised this SC guy has been tolerated when it's clear he has such a manipulative agenda. Maybe it's because his spam posts boost the activity rate for the forums or something.
I mean intelligence gathering. Israel will have...
I agree, I would have more faith in dealing with Israelis than I would with most other countries in the region.
Erdogan's use of Israel as an adversarial force is a play on emotion for minimal short term gains. He hasn't actually gained anything real out of it.
I've heard the argument that it...
Honestly, Turkey has been under some sort of sanction or other for decades now because of anti Turkish lobbies in the US. So what?!
Turkey might benefit initially through servicing the engines but then look at the hysteria in the British media about "security threats" when that was found out...
I'm surprised TRT haven't done it yet considering how popular it is. There is an international demand for the show, and it would be good PR and bring it to a wider audience.

The Turkophobia in this thread...
Since the civil war broke out, Turkey has consistently opposed Assad, also Turkey has consistently sought to undermine any PKK safe havens. Understand this and Turkey's actions make sense.
