Welcome to Turkiye`s neighborhood.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Turkish President Erdogan:

Let me state this very clearly: no one should go looking for adventure, and no one should hitch themselves to the wagon of the Zionist network of massacres.

If anyone attempts to infringe upon the rights and interests of Türkiye and the Turkish Cypriots in the Eastern Mediterranean, I want it to be known that our response will be very clear—and very firm!

@repdinatitus @e_amyna @POTUS Hey Diana,

aren’t you in the AIPAC Tracker list?

The delivery process of the next-generation Turkish Bayraktar AKINCI platforms, which have become one of the strategic force multipliers of Türkiye's defense industry, has been completed.

Following testing and acceptance procedures, the newly delivered AKINCI UAVs officially entered service with the Turkish Air Force.

Capable of long-endurance flights, high-altitude operations and carrying a wide range of munitions, AKINCI further strengthens the effectiveness of Türkiye's unmanned aerial strike capabilities.

@steffanwatkins Most likely a Bayraktar TB2 or a Akinci.

You won’t see them coming, only when they arrive 🪂

🇹🇷 Turkish SOF operators execute a High-Altitude High-Opening (HAHO) parachute insertion equipped with K-8 systems, silently navigating the sky before reaching the target area undetected.

Rapid. Silent. Precise ✨

Allied Special Operations Forces operate with absolute trust in their mission and a steadfast commitment to defend every inch of the Alliance 💪

@Osint613 All done within 20+ years and a self sufficient in house R&D and production of 85+ percent.

Ankara's Court of Appeals has ruled that Türkiye's main opposition party, the CHP, acted illegally when it removed its long-time leader, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, during a 2023 party congress. The court ordered Kılıçdaroğlu's immediate reinstatement and the removal of the current party leader, Özgür Özel.

@discord Maybe have a collab with X to not have a shut down during start of the weekends 😅

@iamasoothsayer Oh wtf

Ich komme ursprünglich aus der Telekommunikationsbranche (kein Voda Mitarbeiter) und bist in meinen Timeline gelandet.

Den Router abchecken, ob er die Leistung des gebuchten Vertrags, sprich die Geschwindigkeit, erbringen kann. Wenn dies geklärt ist, rate ich, bei der Störungsstelle anzurufen, um eventuell einen Leistungsreset machen zu lassen.

Wenn dies nicht hilft, sollte ein Techniker kommen, um die KVZ oder APL zu überprüfen.

[Tugay Er @TugayEr]

@SultanYavar Nope. I'm using voice to text from my phone and letting Grok do some adjusting, then I do my adjustments on it.

Türkiye unveiled a ~42,000 lbf class turbofan at SAHA 2026, developed by the MoD’s R&D center.

For reference, the F135 (F-35) produces ~43,000 lbf.

This places the concept in the high-thrust fighter engine category.

Now connect it properly:

KAAN is a twin-engine platform.

Meaning:
If an indigenous engine in this class matures,
a twin configuration would put total thrust in the 80,000+ lbf range.

That directly impacts:
• performance envelope
• supercruise potential
• long-term independence from foreign engines

Still early-stage.
But strategically, this is the layer that matters.

BREAKING — Turkey unveils intercontinental ballistic missile Yildirimhan with 6,000KM range during SAHA arms expo.

@MyLordBebo Not that the rail system of Germany is already fragile with the delays. Total disregard to others with this move, more delays or even cancellation of the train.

Not a good way to gain supporters by pissing off the public.

Türkiye’s ASELSAN under @AhmetAkyol leadership just put its full LGK Laser Guidance Kit production pipeline on display and it’s a textbook example of modern smart-munitions manufacturing.
From high-speed automated lines straight into precision assembly, then massive-scale stockpiling and rigorous live-fire testing, every stage is now running at industrial speed.
What does this actually mean for general readers?

The LGK turns cheap, unguided “dumb” bombs into laser-guided precision weapons. One kit upgrade and an ordinary bomb suddenly hits targets with surgical accuracy at a fraction of the cost of purpose-built smart munitions.
In today’s conflicts, that’s a major force multiplier: more standoff options, less reliance on expensive imports, and full indigenous control over the supply chain.

Türkiye is quietly building one of the most capable defense industries in the region, and this pipeline proves they’ve moved from prototype to mass production.
Impressive execution. The scale in the factory footage is hard to miss.

What does this mean for future air-power balance? Drop your thoughts below 👇
