The whole milgem project was wasted pure for political reasons. Murad Bayar was wasted and replaced by the clown Ismail Demir. Too many dirty practices to harm the Turkish navy including all those political imprisonments of naval officers.
But in Turkey it suffices to say: Kandirildik
If there is no corruption everyone should be able to get info from the tender commission, no one, not even journalist could obtain any info on the tender (which is a right to be get, ihale seffafligi kanunu). It's not about Otokar or FNSS to get the tender, it's the process of hiding!
That's the same tune parroted over and over again with no any evidence about whatever participant offered.
There is a law in Turkey for transparency of tenders (ihale kanunu seffafligi) and every citizen is supposed to be able to ask for documents of that tender to the tender commission (İhale...
No any radar can operate a missile, radars aren't build for that. It's the command control software with the guidance software doing the controlling, radar is just a sensor giving the detection information.
Why worrisome?
Sure the engine powers will influence directly the take-off weight. It's a trade off depending on how to use the UAV.
The 220HP engined version will be a sensor UAV, no weapons load
The 450HP engined version will have weapons load and
The 750HP engined version will have a mix of...
There are countless examples that IP rights are turned over. Even our FNSS does it with the Light tank they have developed for Indonesia and lately the IP rights of the ANKA-S were sold to Tunisia.
The same is applied with the new joint venture company "Black Sea shield", a joint venture...

Of course they are not same, TB2 is a tactical drone and the ANKA-S is a much smaller drone than the turboprop powered Reaper. They are not in the same league.
You did not pay attention friend. I wrote that a joint venture company was created to build these Ukrainian engines. The rights of the...

I guess you are one of those simple minds who believe in fairythales?
Let us suppose for a moment that the problem is indeed the engine, than why did they wait these two years?
Does it take SSM 2 years to realize Germans not selling the engines? Something is pretty screwed there don't you think...

Does it matter? How did US start with many technologies, would it be possible for the US without a Sikorsky (Russian) to grow this big in helicopters or Werner von Braun to reach the moon? US still uses engineers and technologies from all over the world.
So using a Ukrainian engine is not the...

Turkey requested since 2005 predator and later Reaper UAV's which never where answered by the US.
So Turkey started to develop her own UAV's and later UCAV's. Now we do not need US UAV's anymore.
Akinci UAV is evenmore advanced than Reaper, it will carry AESA radar and have a certain level of...
