Who is talking about going to war with Israel?
I'm talking about regional power balances and Turkey's need to dominate the region (Because nobody likes us Good morning, WAKE UP)
We have to have the biggest fucking stick to be taken seriously at the diplomacy table because everybody knows...
I think if you start training now and come back 2 months later, Iran will have a different air defense network, it's constantly changing and they are constantly learning
that being said, it's far from the best air defense in the world and more importantly, no real air force to fill the gaps.
I heard somewhere that in parts of India, hiring a lady to wash the dishes was cheaper than buying a dishwasher. Surely that can't be true now but regardless, the country is very poor.
I hope those 3 get delivered to land forces command who already operats CTS-800s, it's such a weird decision. It would be confusing for the pilots and mechanics alike.
Just put the CTS-800s into the spare bin why bother with them at that point?
I guess prototypes built with CTS-800 can't...
No matter what you do, F-16 was designed in the 1970s and can't compete with EF, it's just not enough.
In terms of threats, you seem to be living under a rock or something. Why do you think Israel is destroying Gaza right now? Mediterranean? Oil and Gas Reserves? HEllooo!
There are a million of these, I report them but nothing happens.
Earlier I offered to do some work but it was refused. My offer still stands, make me a mod and I'll clean this up
Who is our enemy? I didn't realize we were at war
Right now there are no good options, TURAF needs more planes as I explained in earlier posts.
If anything, 40 Typhoons, is not enough we need 80-100
I guess that would be the final nail in the coffin for Turkey's relations with the west.
But J-10C is just not compatible with our systems, even if China gave them for free, they would be neigh useless.
At the time we analyzed this as a move away from "the west" but then why turn back and ask for F-16s right? It makes no sense.
Had we not asked and denied for F-16s we would have a stronger hand now, but now everybody can smell our desperation.
Imagine, non-NATO countries like Saudi Arabia...
We have to mature, or we're going down a bad path.
Even in JAPAN there's a PKK problem now, why? why? why? There's a historic problem between Turkey and Japan? No. It's because these PKK bastards are very LOUD. They know how to make noise. They know how to spread black propaganda. A mere 20...
Look, no country on this planet is an island unto itself, even if we make Kaan %10000 Turkish, we'll need partners for a sixth generation fighter, and in future we'll need partners for other things. The solution is not to throw the table and be angry at everybody, the solution is to fix our...
