1. yesterday is yesterday ! TODAY IS TODAY :)
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (12.24.09)
ex , ex, ex PRESIDENT & PM of Turkey, Mr. Süleyman ( SOLOMON) Demirel said it once. He is still alive.
2. What is this government doing?
Atheist Turk ,   Germany   (12.24.09)
I do not understand them. Freedom to the Kurds and closing down the only Kurdish party (even it was a strange party). Down with Israel and now up with it? I think Turkey is ruled from a tea-house in Kasimpasa. To the Israelis: Please ignore us for a while as your ally, until our mental health is over average. But please do not forget us.
3. Eat this, Assad.
Robert Renders ,   Belgium   (12.24.09)
4. What a mistake!
Brod ,   USA   (12.24.09)
Turkey will be giving those drones to their allies-Iran, Syria and Lebanon. Israel is making a mistake dealing with Turkey. The Ayatollahs' engineers will be dismantling the drone and copying its technology.
5. I bet Tyfun is now happy

6. 18.5 Million for a Toy Plane?What type of Robbery is this?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (12.24.09)
Turkey may acquire electronic surveillance equipmen and fit to a self-produced Drone? Why should we waste our money? Buy only 1 for reverse-engineering We may produce copies in Aselsan or elsewhere in Turkey!
7. Tayfun, you're killing me!
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (12.25.09)
Mark Twain once said, "it is better to have people believe you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." How lucky for all of us that you did not heed these sensible words, or we would be missing out on such great entertainment, of you displaying your great ignorance. For your information, 18.5 Mil for a drone of this caliber is quite cheap. There's a reason why Turkey picked an Israeli company over the competition. Israeli Defense Technology companies deliver the best technology per $! And no, it is not a "toy plane". This drone has some very sophisticated surveillance systems which you clearly know nothing about. And no, the Defense Technology market does not work like your Turkish markets - you cannot buy one and then copy it. There's too much expertise involved, that it would be cheaper and faster to simply buy more than to copy. And besides, there is a contract, as well as international agreements, that forbid you from doing it. Have a great weekend...
8. 5 will be given to Iran
steve from raleigh   (12.25.09)
