Not really. US has sentenced 26/11's mastermind in an FBI prison. We asked them several times. Tell me, has India been able to bump him off? No. Turkey is negotiating what it can right now given the chips that it has. Considering its size, population, economy and region, Ankara is punching way...

Don't underwrite their capabilities yet. Turkey has been smart in negotiating for weapons and technology from the F-16 fighter jets to other political concessions in the region. They know that they have wiggle room to demand whatever they want given their geographical location and the current...

The TuAF is in a bad position as the IAF. They are facing increasing limitations in operating their older F-16s. The purging of their pilots was not a smart move either by Erdogan back in 2016. After Erdogan said that Turkey would buy the jets from Germany, Scholz just dropped a bomb: Looks...

I am really impressed with the Turkish defense industry. Entire HAL, Rajnath Singh and ACM. Vivek Ram Chaudhary should commit suicide together.

This sanction business is working in Turkey's favor as it is compelling their government to take the indigenous route. Not having sanctions on Indian military is a big disadvantage for us as in the long run, it keeps us dependent on foreign military imports. Turkey's biggest test were the 2...

Ain't this a tad too ambitious? Even by Erdogan's standards? I mean unless he has managed to convince SAAB, BAE or KAI to transfer readily-available technology, flying a 5th generation jet when Turkey has made not a single any-generation jet, would be a miracle. And this is not even a 4++...

They don't have a choice. Turks as people are too Europeanized today to choose the Middle East. Not to mention the massive investments that the European (esp. German) banks hold in Turkish economy. As for making concessions to Europe, I don't think there is anything of that sort involved since...

A post-Erdogan Turkish administration would focus on building more cloud and improving ties with the EU rather than driving them into the corner. The CHP is nothing like the AKP. Read about the steps taken governments of Bulent Ecevit and Ismet Inonu. Both were very reasonable & far-sighted PMs...

Turkish economy is very diversified. Yes, they are currently going down badly, but given the stability of Turkish economy in the last 30 years, it will bounce back once Erdogan is kicked out which is somewhere around mid-2023. He may be a tyrant of a president, but given his health, drop in...

This is an interesting new market that the Turks have managed to secure. Using a mix of religion, donation and support where Islamic African countries have failed to find an alternative to Chinese imports, Turkey has managed to become the alternative. From a military perspective, Turks are...

Bruh, I am not against the very theme of the discussion. There are other threads where this can be discussed and they can be dissed. All for it. Got no sympathies for the goat shaggers. This is a thread specific to military developments and that is about exchange of information and perhaps some...

You know, despite the jokes that we make thanks to Erdogan's antics, Turks are quite solid combatants. They have that eastern trait of much like the 19th/20th century mentality of holding one's ground In the Western Hemisphere, these guys are quite the tough fighters. Especially given that...

It won't be a stretch to think that they got a nuclear program going underground. When we went nuclear, we kinda gave away the tactic.
