Zitat:Defense firm Roketsan develops weapons system using Turkish-made missiles

Zitat:Roketsan, which supplies rockets and missiles to the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), has created a highly deterrent, nationally produced weapons system capable of countering various threats, as part of its continuing efforts to increase the operational capabilities of the country's security forces.

The system will be able to operate with Roketsan products such as OMTAS, long-range anti-tank missile (UMTAS), laser-guided long-range anti-tank missile (LUMTAS), and Cirit missiles. The weapons combination can be changed according to various requirements, including the nature of the target.

The Yalman Weapon System was showcased with one UMTAS, one LUMTAS, and four Cirit missiles during the inauguration ceremony for Roketsan’s Space Technologies and Advanced Technologies Research Center and Explosive Chemicals Raw Material Manufacturing Plant held on Aug. 30.

The system will be able to detect, track, and recognize targets from 8 kilometers away.

Hast du Dugins Schriften denn überhaupt mal tatsächlich gelesen? In Wahrheit hat er gerade eben keine kritische Sicht auf den Islam, sondern propagiert ganz im Gegenteil einen islamischen Raum als Gegenpol zu den Atlantikern und damit als natürlichen (vorübergehenden) Verbündeten der Eurasier gegen den Westen.

Dugin schreibt mehrfach davon, dass der konservative traditionelle Islam der natürliche Verbündete Russlands ist, weil beide die gleiche Grundausrichtung gegen den Westen teilen.

Damit steht Dugin in den rechten (islamfeindlichen) Kreisen Russlands zwar recht allein da, diese geostrategisch recht besondere Auffassung zeichnet sich aber durchaus in der realen russischen Außenpolitik ab. Das langfristige Ziel (auch von Dugin) ist natürlich die Restauration des oströmischen Reiches, die Befreiung von Konstantinopel und die Wiederstellung des heiligen römischen Reiches christlicher Nation. Auf dem Weg dahin wird der Islam aber als natürlicher Verbündeter begriffen, da die Atlantiker als der zunächst größere und wesentlichere Feind begriffen werden.

Zitat:Turkey touts Eurofighter plan, should F-16 talks stall

Turkey has, for the first time, officially pronounced a possible purchase of Eurofighter Typhoons in case if the United States fails to sell Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons. İbrahim Kalın, Turkey's presidential spokesperson, confirmed the previously reported plan, telling local NTV news channel on 23 September, “We have negotiations with Europe regarding […] Eurofighter […] Turkey will never be without alternatives.”

Turkey made a request to the United States for 40 F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernisation kits for its existing warplanes in October 2021. The US administration warmed to the sale of the fighters to Turkey, Kalın said, as the Joe Biden administration in June threw its support behind the potential sale after Ankara lifted a veto of NATO membership for Finland and Sweden.

However, a condition set out by the US House of Representatives in July 2022 to ensure that F-16 jets sold to Ankara are not used to violate Greek airspace has been rejected by Turkey.
