Agitators masquerading as press professionals are using clickbait titles again. Their actual job seems to gather comments and visits rather than providing actual facts. "reportedly hesitatant" ("hesitant" probably) is different than "blocking", a term that implies a firm negation, in my...

Is it anything official on Germany actually blocking a last-tranche Typhoon deal for Turkey?

Has the Link 16 been fitted to any other Türkçe platform than the F-16?

As far as I know, it's from the pre-meeting press conference. And the chancellor's answer to that question from the press was cut out. https://www.youtube.com/live/dZx1c23H7Ks?si=3whBjL0MDOI-w3Qy&t=2217 Have you seen a first-hand post-meeting interview?

An actual part of his speech, not a retweet. Erdogan says he is leading fight against anti-Semitism | AFP Still, nothing to do with the Typhoon deal, though.

Where is the insulting speech? I felt the good evening and a good night whishes quite heartwarming. Too bad the football game was deemed too risky to attend to. :(

Any official source on Germany actually blocking the deal? The Erdogan-Scholz dinner is not even over :D

Well, Bogeyman, it is my understanding that by continuously using the word "secret", backed up by the word "classified" the authors are trying to convince there is some sort of conspiracy to hide something, making it a bigger deal than it is, in a sensationalist way. I may have misunderstood...

That "secret" base has been there for about 13 years already. It's openly documented by the US Army, and appeared in the press at least since the mid-2010's. Cf. Leonard Halley, “Sensors Directorate Breakout Session,” MDA 20th Annual Small Business Programs Conference, Ft. Belvoir, VA: June...

Did the Astra become operational on the Rafale? I can't find any picture of it.

Hey there, in their book "Modern Taiwan Air Power" at Harpia (2021), Ray Choo and Peter Ho mention, on page 59, about the Mirage 2000, that "(...) due to political sensitivity, all ground modes of the Thales RDY have been removed(...)". Does anybody know that story?
