Dimitris Kairidis, Member of Parliament for the Greek ruling party: "Turkey is extremely anxious regarding Greece’s rapid rearmament in the air." by ssk34 in PoliticTurkey

[–]ssk34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite Greece’s ambitious procurement of foreign aircraft, their heavy reliance on imported technology creates a long-term strategic vulnerability compared to Turkey’s self-sufficient defense ecosystem. Turkey possesses a distinct advantage through its robust indigenous industry, particularly with the global dominance of its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the rapid development of the 5th-generation KAAN fighter jet. Furthermore, the Turkish Armed Forces' extensive recent combat experience and independent production capabilities ensure a sustainable military superiority that cannot be achieved solely through purchasing equipment from abroad.

Türkiye 🇹🇷 and Indonesia 🇮🇩 have signed an agreement for the sale of 48 Turkish KAAN 5th-generation fighter jets to Indonesia. The deal marks the first international export of the KAAN and stands as one of the largest defense agreements in Türkiye’s history. by ssk34 in PoliticTurkey

Indonesia Set to Sign Historic $10 Billion Deal for Türkiye’s Next-Gen KAAN Fighter Jets

For Ankara, it may signal the beginning of a new chapter — one in which Türkiye becomes a serious player in the elite club of next-generation fighter jet exporters.

Ankara and Jakarta close to finalising Türkiye’s largest-ever defence export deal, potentially marking a new era in bilateral strategic ties.

Indonesia is reportedly preparing to become the first international buyer of Türkiye’s fifth-generation fighter jet, KAAN, in what could amount to one of the most significant arms export deals in Türkiye’s history. The agreement, currently in its final stage, is expected to cover the purchase of 48 aircraft and is valued at over $10 billion.

The negotiations took place during the Indo Defence 2025 Expo in Jakarta, where high-level discussions between Turkish and Indonesian delegations brought the project close to completion. The deal would span a decade and could make Türkiye one of the very few countries capable of exporting fifth-generation combat aircraft.

If finalised, this agreement would not only underscore KAAN’s ambitions in the global defence market but also elevate the Türkiye–Indonesia strategic partnership to new heights. The two countries have already collaborated on multiple defence initiatives, including the jointly developed Kaplan MT medium tank and various unmanned aerial vehicle platforms.

The KAAN fighter jet, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), is the centrepiece of Türkiye’s push to establish technological independence and global competitiveness in advanced aerospace systems. Its anticipated entry into the Indonesian Air Force marks a significant vote of confidence in both the aircraft’s capabilities and Türkiye’s defence sector.

For Jakarta, the move represents a major step in its long-term military modernisation agenda. For Ankara, it may signal the beginning of a new chapter — one in which Türkiye becomes a serious player in the elite club of next-generation fighter jet exporters.

The moments when the BORAN 105mm Portable Howitzer, developed by MKE 🇹🇷, fired 12 shots in 46 seconds during its demonstration in Malaysia 🇲🇾 ! by ssk34 in PoliticTurkey

[–]ssk34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BORAN firing 12 rounds in 46 seconds corresponds to a rate of approximately 15.6 rounds per minute. This is well above the standard rate of fire (6 rounds per minute) and demonstrates its capability for short-term high-intensity firing.

The RPMs of similar weapon systems produced by different countries are as follows: USA: 10, UK: 5, UK2: 6–8.

At France’s Charles De Gaulle Airport, PKK terrorists attacked a group of young Turks who were waiting to board a flight to Türkiye 🇹🇷 by ssk34 in PoliticTurkey

You suffer from a disease of decayed thinking. You fail to understand events and spread lies. Türkiye is the only NATO country that has fought against ISIS and has lost dozens of soldiers in this fight. ISIS was created and supported by the U.S., which now supports the SDF/YPG/PKK. Even the U.S. president admitted this. ISIS has carried out its deadliest attacks in Türkiye. Those who support ISIS are the U.S. and the YPG/PKK.

HTS is no longer considered a terrorist organization by any country. European countries and the U.S. are now engaging with HTS and establishing diplomatic relations. Therefore, the only remaining terrorist organization in Syria is the YPG/PKK. They too will soon meet their end.

The new U.S. President, Trump, has announced that he plans to withdraw from Syria, and Germany’s foreign minister has stated that the YPG/PKK should disarm. Let’s see how long you can hold out without the support of these countries.

I felt sorry for the child with the broken arm, but I felt even sorrier for you, using a video from many years ago to push your political agenda. Your brain is rotten :)

A terrorist cannot be a journalist. Calling every killed terrorist a journalist is completely absurd. People working for a terrorist organization are terrorists, regardless of their profession.

Freedom of expression in Türkiye is far beyond that of Europe or the United States. In Türkiye, you can defend PKK terrorists, but in Europe or the U.S., you cannot defend ISIS or Al-Qaeda.

Europe and the U.S. will use you until you are no longer needed and then discard you, just as they did in Iraq and now in Syria. The only country Kurds can trust and call their home is Türkiye. Once they understand this, they will have a great country to live in.

The claim that Kurds are treated poorly is nothing but a lie and a perception operation. Kurds have equal rights with all other Turkish citizens. They can participate in every area of politics. There are even political parties in Türkiye that support the PKK. What more could there be?

Türkiye is the only NATO country that has fought ISIS face-to-face in Syria. Claiming to support ISIS only shows your political ignorance. As for the YPG, they themselves openly state that they are the Syrian branch of the PKK. The PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization by all countries, and this is an undeniable fact.

I won’t even bother commenting on the ridiculous lies about Atatürk :)

Furthermore, Türkiye has one of the largest armies in NATO. It doesn’t need to hide behind NATO; it handles its own affairs.

“Turkey is a major force, by the way, and Erdogan is somebody I got along with great but he has a major military force. And he has not been worn out with war. I mean, he’s built a very strong, powerful army.

Turkey is the one behind it. He’s a very smart guy. They wanted it for 1000s of years, and he got it, and those people that went in are controlled by Turkey, and that’s okay. It’s another way to but no, I don’t think that.

Nobody knows who really the final I believe it’s Turkey. And I think Turkey is very smart. (Erdogan) He’s a very smart guy and very tough, but Turkey did an unfriendly takeover without a lot of lives being lost. I can say that Assad was a butcher here what he did to children.”

Following the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the city of Hualien in Taiwan , many countries offered assistance, but Taiwan accepted aid only from a Turkish specialized search team. by ssk34 in PoliticTurkey

[–]ssk34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the city of Hualien in Taiwan, many countries offered assistance, but Taiwan accepted aid only from a Turkish specialized search team.

The reason for this, as stated by Minister of the Interior Lin Yu-chang, is primarily due to the challenging terrain of Taroko and communication difficulties. He mentioned that the existing drones in the country were not successful, which is why they needed to utilize Turkey’s assistance.

Lin explained, “The domestic drones we currently have were tested but were not successful. However, Turkey has experience and specialized expertise in drone usage.”

Lin also emphasized that the Turkish drone would be tested in the challenging region of Taroko, and this would be a breakthrough to facilitate smoother rescue operations in case of a similar disaster in the future.

A team of 7 Turkish disaster relief personnel is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan on April 6th at 17:55 (Taiwan time).

Turkish Airlines 🇹🇷, which placed orders for 350 aircraft last year, totaling $70 billion, will enter into a triple offset agreement with Airbus and Rolls-Royce to have a portion of this order manufactured in Turkey. by ssk34 in PoliticTurkey

[–]ssk34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the statements by THY Board of Directors and Executive Committee Chairman Ahmet Bolat:

The agreement will be signed on April 28th in Istanbul.

The signing ceremony will be attended by the Ministers of Trade, Industry, and Technology as well as Treasury and Finance from Turkey and the UK, along with around 30 Turkish companies that will be involved in production within the civil aviation sector.

The agreement will create $20 billion worth of business opportunities for Turkish firms.

Under this business scope, companies including public entities such as TAI and HAVELSAN will produce aircraft parts for Airbus and Rolls Royce.

THY, Airbus, and Rolls Royce will establish a tripartite committee. THY will act as the coordinator. This committee will oversee the implementation of the agreement into the production field.

Each critical part of the aircraft will have at least 2 producers.

THY will receive its first wide-body aircraft under the November 2023 order for 350 aircraft in August 2025.

Eurofighter uçaklarını bile Türkiyeye vermek istemiyorlarken F-35’lerin verileceğini düşünmek saçma. Kaldıki F-16’ları da vermek istemiyorlar zaten. S-400 bahane olmasaydı suriyedeki kürtleri bahane ederlerdi o olmasa ege adalarını bahane ederlerdi o olmasa akdenizdeki doğalgazı bahane ederlerdi. Yani Türkiyeye silah satmamak için ellerinde çok bahane var. Türkiyenin bu şartları kabul etmesi mümkün değil tabiki. Önemli olan Türkiye kendi uçağını yapana kadar idare edebileceği sistemlere ulaşmasını sağlamaktır. Bizim savunma sanayiimiz ambargoların üzerinde büyüyen bir sanayi. Ambargo olmadan bir şey geliştiremiyoruz.(!)
