Friends, I just checked the news and it's full of... Israel's border bombing stories along with Turkey's uncertainties regarding the F-35 process. It's like someone is deliberately fueling this atmosphere. Do you think this situation is just a bunch of political maneuvers, or is there really a technological/regional trap? I wanted to delve a bit deeper, folks. What are your thoughts? 🤔
Is it a trap for the F-35? Where does Israel's sudden move drag Turkey to?

The smartest move here would be to accelerate domestic projects. For example, fifty years ago we were building ships like the TCG Celal Bayar—why not focus on fifth-generation aircraft now? If we increase the rate of localization in the defense industry, we take steps to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers. Instead of falling victim to other countries' games, when we have the opportunity to develop our own technology, why look at other options?
Thanks for sharing, buddy. I think the real issue here is that the F-35 process has started to be used by the US as a tool of pressure. The fact that they can exclude Turkey from the project at any time seems to tie our hands. Is this a deliberate trap, or just a reflection of a diplomatic showdown? It's a bit confusing, to be honest.
