@schrage musik Why you mad? Do you know something we don't know about this acquisition?

I don't know, but I just don't see the value proposition behind this acquisition. Doesn't look like money well spent. Piaggio makes what? They have built just one weird looking failed aircraft in the last 30 or 40 years.

Now if it were Pilatus or Diamond or some other company with a healthy civilian portfolio i'd be pretty excited. I do want to see Baykar enter the civilian aerospace market. Perhaps they shouldve put money into one of the chinese space startups instead.

I assume they have quite a plan and are not just going to lose money for the sake of it. We all know what Baykar is capable of. Time will tell of course.

Forget about Hisar being an OPV, it has the potential to be a fully fledged Frigate.

Press X to Doubt.

With the Kurds having a free hand in both Northern Iraq and East Syria, it is unlikely a viable settlement between the Turks and the PKK will happen. This is a poison chalice the US has served itself by supporting the Kurds in order to take down Bashar al-Assad and Saddam Hussein.

I think the US consciously choose to prop up Kurds for post US withdraw from the region, just like UK left South Asia with Pakistan and India or other European colonial powers left Africa in infighting. The porpuse is simple to create rivalry and chaos to garantee nobody is dominating in the power vacum and the former power can play the new powers. It is "if I can't have it, nobody should". Kurds will serve as a bargain chip of US to keep Turkey in line with US.
