i worry for turkey if everyone does math like you do.
yes, a 1st grader can figure out, if india kept its current GDP and distributed it to 100 million people, it'd be rich.
but do you seriously think that 100 million people will be able to produce india's current GDP? hell no. try opening a car factory with 5 people, can you do it?
the more people you have cooperating the more wealth is able to be generated. real wealth, not US wealth that comes from playing with stocks. no one can beat USA at making fake money by playing stock market games, but industrially many countries can come close and for industry, you have to have lots of people.
and no turkey isn't one of the countries that can compete industrially with the US. at least india can make the relatively complicated Su-30 MKI and incorporate different systems, what can turkey do besides just buy whole USA made F-16s? what areas does Turkey have a competitive edge in? at least India has IT, who ever heard of made in turkey?
India dont make any russian planes.
their own made jets are so weak and low tech.
Turkey can produce 100% us planes and coppers.
With full tech and fully loaded with training etc..
We have gained alot of techs that costs alot of money.
and look.. we are developing our own future best tank altay.
our destroyers TF-2000 with stealth our frigates/corvettes MILGEM our future best attack heli T-129.
our future assault rifle that will replace entire army from g3.
and many others.
We cooperate f35.
by cooperate i mean REAL COOPERATE we make our own(yes our own) f35.
by that i mean our own f35 critical parts.
that usa cant afford it.
together with some eu countries and mostly USA.
what does india do?
Nothing.
Just buying and doing some stuff together with india.
and india calls them best and india indigenous 100%.
But if you look at it.. Just another russian low quality tech and overall airplane.
The Pak-fa seems overrated to me.
Just because it has 4 radars WOW..
Yea i rather put 100radars because the stealth the f35 and f22 has can be hard to detect!
and turkey will gain 100% lincense produce and full tech transfer for f35.
not like india with many units with limited options and half tech.
and my feelings says your not chinese but indian.
How can chinese support an indian?
