Turkey'sTurkey's progressshould make all European countries feel ashamed. They completely missed out on drones and 5th gen fighter jets. The Eurodrone wasted so much money and time but got nothing in return. I bet that FCAS, GCAP and advanced CCA would end up the same way
Aselsan inaugurated 14 new facilities today, broke ground on a new tech base (Oğulbey Technology Base) worth $1.5 Billion and delivered 47 vehicles (worth $460 million) related to airdefence and EW, including one Siper and three Hisar-O batteries.
If Turkey is able to produce S400 Analog in-house in coming years, I see it as a move to get back into F-35 program. KAAN is years away from being operational and Greece already has its F-35 on order.Another spineless move from Erdogan, who continually keeps compromising on every TR position; signaling to everyone that even limited pressure is enough to make him retreat on critical natsec positions.
Behind all that are the processed rare earth minerals to create all that technology came from China.
