Advancements In The Air

The TAI (Bürküt) Fighter is getting into its last stages of testing, on January 15, 2000, Turkey's Defense Industry Executive Committee (SSIK) decided to design, develop and manufacture a national next generation air-superiority fighter which would replace Turkey's F-16 fleet and operate with other critical assets like F-15E Strike Eagles. Turkish Prime Minister (now president) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on January 8, 2000, that the Bürküt would be a twin-engined fighter. The Undersecretariat for Defense Industries published its 2002 Performance Report in March 2003, where it was revealed that the final decision was to continue with the twin engine configuration. In December 2002, TAI released preliminary technical specifications and features of the aircraft. Some features of a 5th generation fighter projected for the Bürküt are:

• Sensor fusion

• Improved situational awareness

• Reduced detectability

• Internal weapon bays

• Advanced maneuverability

Multiple halts of research and test have been put on hold multiple times due to economic or political crisis, the plane was too be released on 2016 but the 2016 coup attempt has halted the testing until 2021, new technologies and such are now being tested on the plane, its first flight was by 2011, but this was later delayed to 2012. After successful flight and maneuverability testing, the Bürküt fighter entered in advanced development stages including weaponry and payload designs. More tests were scheduled in 2016 but where halted, then the plane has continued since 2021. Now in 2024 it is slowly moving to its last stages from testing, and differently compared to the 2012 tests, for now the prototypes are being integrated new technologies, the first production of the stealth jet is either projected to be on late 2024 or early 2025. The Turkish military industry is also currently modeling prototypes for a 6th generation fighters. Turkey also has purchased 25 Dassault Rafale's from France for $2.5 billion USD.

| Mekdella scoffs. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "It's rather convenient that your open hand benefits the Iranian economy and its stranglehold, doesn't it? Tell me, Empress Esfir of Iran, provisioner of Prosperity, Liberty, what will be in your hand if I take it now?" |

| With one push, she gets herself off the wall and slowly approaches the Empress, looking down at her. She raises her arms up as she continues...|

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "An olive branch? Economic prosperity, emancipation, yes, yes...and then what?" |

| Both hands on her desk, she leans over the Empress. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "Then, back in Tehran, your hand will sign away at documents, your hand will order drones, and warships, and soldiers to swarm over the Persian Gulf, coming to us. It's your hand that would do that, wouldn't it? To aid the Saudis, should we come to blows. Where there was once an olive branch, there could be missiles, death, destruction..." |

| She now stands upright by the desk. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "As is your obligation, naturally... and I would be none the wiser, just some maniac, who has guided her Empire into a suicide run, in some godforsaken desert backwater. But you, Empress...you would be a hero, wouldn't you? Leagues of Iranians, cheering for their strong willed woman. Just as many Arabs, too..." |

| Mekdella walks toward the window, which faces to the glittering, neon Addis skyline. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "Just as many of those Arab men. Cheering, so happy that their dominance reigns supreme. Content, that the balance of power remains tipped in their favor... I'm sure you see why it's difficult for me to accept your hand in peace right now." |

| Looking at her with a slight sigh she would shake her head. |

[ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "1960. United Arab Republic attacks Iran, launching a war. It is defeated and retreats. 1963, yet again United Arab Republic attacks and once again loses and collapses. 1972. Arabian Kingdom attacks but retreats soon after. 1970s make Iran the most militarised country in the Middle East. We're so fortified, that no one has dared to attack us since. But we're always ready for war with the Arabs. We're always ready for any war. Period."

| She would stand up proudly and slowly. |

[ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "I do not know how much you know about Iran and it's history. But we had to fight every day, every year for our existence in the Middle East. I don't waste time on sh*t, Ms Brehen. If I sought to seek interest in destroying you, I wouldn't be here. My hand is the purest hand you will get in the Middle East. I will not send men and women of my country to wars that are pointless and useless. I will not allow instability to occur in the Middle East. Your goal is to bring your country to it's golden height like it was destined. My goal, is to make sure that my country survives like it was destined."

| She would stare at her in silence. |

[ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "You can take my hand of peace and prosperity, and trust in the only state in the world that knows how to deal with Arab power or you can deny it and be guided, misled by the Egyptian and Turkish interests that are only to suffice them. Suffice the Egyptians in becoming the Arab leader, and after that they will turn against you. The very person that is helping them to become the strongest Arab power. The choice is yours, it's simple as that."

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "Oh, is that so? What of the Gallans, then?! Cut off from the rest of the world, since the SEVENTH CENTURY!" |

| She stares into Esfir's eyes, full of rage and uncontrollable emotion. Her hand balls up into a tight fist. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "Two millennia, Empress! Surrounded by barbarians, unable to develop, unable to expand, our history wiped out by foreigners time and time again!

Harassed by those despicable Arabs in all directions, pulling at the heart of my race like vultures. Powerless to stop them.. They desecrate our symbols, deface our gods, they ridicule us... Scum of this earth..." |

| Mekdella makes her way back to the desk and plops herself on the seat. She relaxes her hand, and winces ever so slightly at the pain she had inflicted on herself. She's silent for a moment. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "I didn't think we'd be getting history lessons today." |

| In this candid moment of self awareness, she chuckles, but her expression remains. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "Empress... I'll take your hand. For the sake of peace between us, for now." |

| She looks directly up to the Empress. Her expression changes once more.. Mekdella is somewhat calm, almost surreally so. Her voice softly addresses the Empress. |

| _{MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA} | "But I am spellbound by my destiny to do what must be done. I have no choice. When the time for action comes... remember that, Empress. Because when the time comes, The Empire will not hold back." |

Khartoum, The Republic of Sudan
April, 2024 - Parliament Approve PGP Entry

Earlier in April the Sudanese Parliament had officially voted for the approval of the Sudo-Iranian Alliance of Co-operation (SIAC) as a result of Prime Minister Salva Kiir's visit to Tehran for a meeting with Empress Esfir Diba of Iran marking an official alliance between Khartoum and Tehran.

And so following talks, diplomatic missions and meeting between Khartoum and the former members of the Middle East Co-operation Organization (MECO), Sudan had been approved to enter the newly created Persian Gulf Pact (PGP) between Baghdad, Tehran, and Riyadh. And so after a short series of debate, legislation had been presented to the Sudanese Parliament by Prime Minister Salva Kiir for calling on Parliament to officially approve and recognise Sudan's entry into the PGP. The legislation had passed by 141 Yes to 36 No in the National Assembly where it was then taken to be passed by 62 Yes to 2 No by the Council of States. As the legislation becomes officially passed by Parliament, Prime Minister Kiir had signed the legislation making the Republic of Sudan an official member of the Persian Gulf Pact.

Some Consolidations
2024 - Benelux

While walking around in the Flemish town of Antwerp, the leader of the Vlaams Belang party, Tom Van Grieken, recieved a call from the PM, Geert Wilders regarding the merger of Flanders with the Netherlands proper. Van Grieken asked for 24 hrs to talk with his team and to get a vote among the party and the Vlaams Parlement itself. Vlaams Belang agreed to it almost immediately as that was one of their main goals, and they were able to get a positive vote in the Parliament, therefore, Van Grieken was able to send the affirmative response to the Netherlands regional parliament. Marjolein Faber would recieve it and lead the merger in which would result in Flanders becoming the southern region of Netherlands Proper leading to the dissolution of Belgium as a whole. Wallonia would therefore no longer need to contend with the Flemish north. With the status of Brussels entering into question, Wilders suggested turning it into Vrije Stad Brussel/Ville Libre de Bruxelles. The Luxembourgish Parliament seeing an opportunity to boost the french speaking part of the Benelux decided to merge with Wallonia creating the region of Ardenne. Benelux now consisting of Netherlands and Ardenne began to explore its greatest issue of keeping the North Sea in the North Sea and preventing land loss.

[ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "You're like a wounded animal, ready to fight back. Galla, is like a wounded animal, she fights back. But Ms Brehen, wounded animals don't win wars. Calculated predators do.

Does anyone know where I can find the (website style) factbook template that most people seem to have used. I have been trying to assemble my own factbook but it always ends up looking bad so I am now looking for a template that I can use.

The Indonesian Armed Forces were formed during the Nusantaran National Revolution, when it undertook a guerrilla war along with informal militia. As a result of this, and the need to maintain internal security, the Armed forces including the Army, Navy, and Air Force has been organised along territorial lines, aimed at defeating internal enemies of the state and potential external invaders

JAPAN BECOMES 'SUGANOMICS' — BUT EVEN SO, THE 'ABENOMICS' WILL CONTINUE UNDER SUGA ADMINISTRATION

^{Reiwa 6 ― May 1, 2024}

KANTEI, TOKYO — [...] At a press conference in Kantei, Prime Minister Suga, after a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Abe, where journalists asked some questions and one of them was, whether Japan would continue with the 'Suganomics' or maintain Abe's policies? [...] "Even with Japan having new policies and a new government, the country will not distance itself from 'Abenomics' [...] As promised in the elections, the Suga-Abe Administration will endeavor to strengthen the Japanese economy," said Suga. As for issues in the banking sector, underlined by journalists — Suga said he would not make changes to the Bank of Japan, knowing that Japanese politicians have a major influence on monetary policy compared to other developed countries.

Suga also showed during the press conference — that he had a keen interest in further supporting immigration — by increasing annual net migration, which would certainly alleviate the decline of the adult population in the labor market.
