[ChineseTiger1986]

Why you keep lumping China and India together to compare with US ? It doesn't make sense as they are neither allies nor friends and the difference is huge.

China is a technological peer to the US, while India is far from that.

To lump China with India was a mistake.

If I recall correctly, Turkey plans to build a 60,000-ton unmanned carrier, powered by four American General Electric engines. The accompanying aircraft are likely waiting for the U.S. to sell F-35s.

( YASAR GULER - the Minister of National Defense )


The Nuclear-Powered Submarine (NÜKDEN) project, which is part of our country's vision to increase deterrence against regional threats in the Eastern Mediterranean and surrounding seas and to become a global power, is continuing as scheduled.

The response given by the Minister of National Defense, Güler, to a parliamentary question on the subject is as follows:


“The Republic of Turkiye aims to increase its naval power by expanding its defense industry in various sectors, and also to build long-range and highly stealthy submarines. Currently, there is a projected timeline for the design, production, and feasibility study of nuclear-powered Submarines.

The Turkish Naval Forces are open to cooperation with all friendly and allied countries, especially NATO countries, regarding nuclear propulsion technology, and continue their efforts to utilize domestic and national technology in the Nuclear-Powered Submarine Project, as in all platforms.

The goal of building a nationally designed Submarine and a nuclear-powered Submarine within the scope of the ongoing National Submarine (MİLDEN) and Nuclear Submarine (NÜKDEN) projects aims to increase our country's deterrence against regional threats in the Eastern Mediterranean and surrounding seas and to enhance its global power.” "It is part of the vision of becoming."
