Iranian president dies in a helicopter crash, presumably because the helicopter is so old and outdated and then a Turkish UAV finds the wreckage I'm sure the sudden death of the president is much bigger news than the second bit of information but politics aside isn't this an admission of how...

Turkish borders are wide open for anyone to pass, and it doesn't matter at all if there's visa free travel or not. ISIS members will walk right through the border. Absolutely meaningless move.

8 foreign nationals were caught in Operation Bozdoğan 32 (a series of operations against ISIS) chemical substances and other bomb materials were confiscated, enough to cause a very big explosion and their plan was to do it in Taksim Square during May 1st celebrations. One of the would be...

Erdogan's party AKP is facing a historic defeat in mayoral elections, most cities being taken by opposition parties mainly Republican People's Party (CHP) Mayoral positions taken by AKP represented in yellow while CHP's seats are represented by red. Unfortunately nationalist parties suffered...

Ok, so there's a hangar deck below the flight deck, that will also be mostly empty space and very light so how they are going to optimize the hull is a bit of a curiosity for me. And yes 100M$ is incredibly cheap, TCG Anadolu costed around 600 Million $ partially thanks to the fact that it has...

Another question is why Iran chose to build the flight deck so low. The ship seems to be much lighter than what the hull was designed for. For efficiency that bulbous bow should be submerged underwater but it looks like it'll remain outside water if we imagined the red painted part of the hull...

Iran has been boiling for a while but is there an actual opposition party that can take power if given the opportunity? From what I can tell, no

At first sight, I thought this ship was longer than TCG Anadolu but that doesn't seem to be the case. With a flight deck of only 170 meters, she's going to be very limited in types of aircraft she can operate The ship is about the same overall length as TCG Anadolu but the superstructure is...

Rural migration was in the 70ies, your information is a bit outdated. now the white collar workers are trying to buy land and tractors and migrate off the cities.

New paint scheme: God I hate this canopy

Earthquake victims are mostly poor people, most of them had to move to Ankara not İstanbul. Sad reality is that İstanbul is too expensive for many Turks.

it seems due to a lack of ability to modernize these aircraft and having too many types of aircraft to maintain, defence minister Dendias announced that they want to sell F-16 Block 30 and Mirage 2000 Fighters

in this framework Turkey might be selling Hisar and Siper systems to Europe.

I couldn't agree more. But he created and fed this terrible opposition that is even worse than him so people begrudgingly keep him in power.
