    According to a speculation based on missile remnants, TRLG-230 was used in that attack, not HIMARS.

    Turkish Engine Programs

    No. Drones. KızılElma and TAI's new drone designed to be the Global Hawk equivalent. The prototype of the TF-6000 turbofan engine will be integrated (in May-2023) into the prototype of the TAI's new drone. Thus, two prototypes (the drone and its engine) will be developed together. Presumably...

    China abandons “zero cause” policy after the riots

    Products and services exist with raw materials. Do you have enough raw materials? No. But let's imagine for a moment that China is completely self-sufficient. Do you think you will be left alone by the others in this situation? Why should the rest of the World put up with China, which doesn't do...

    China abandons “zero cause” policy after the riots

    You have to care about global inflation, because global customers with reduced purchasing power won't buy Chinese goods, which will hurt China. You haven't built "Great Wall of China in the Oceans" yet, and there won't be that wall in the foreseeable future! So you are not isolated from the...

    China abandons “zero cause” policy after the riots

    I said "global inflation", moron! The causes and solution of inflation in Turkiye should be sought in Turkiye, not in China. I know that truth too. The chronic energy deficit, Turkiye's inability to produce enough added value, and being in a geography where there is constant war are the main...

    China abandons “zero cause” policy after the riots

    What the West is doing to Huawei or the Chinese semiconductor industry has nothing to do with the Covid-19 vaccine. The West will suffer if the disease is allowed to spread uncontrollably in China. Therefore, they do not cause problems with vaccination. Each case should be judged on its own...

    It's not talking about anything important. Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank shows this TFX's task computer to the members of the National Assembly in order to raise more appropriations to his Ministry in the budget negotiations. Since it is the end of the 2022 year, the 2023...

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    There are two reasons. 1- Turkiye-USA relations are in a state of rupture. Efforts are being made to prevent an armed conflict in the Syrian field. Armenia will be added to this in the near future. The situation is that bad! The governments in both countries are delaying solving the problems...

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    The Özgür Project has two purposes. a) To gain the ability to use domestic ammunition in F-16s when desired. b) Creating a test bed for TFX. IMO, Turkiye will not sell the Özgür Project to Pakistan in order not to create unnecessary tensions with the USA. Pakistan was invited to the TFX...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    It's probably already included in the plan. We did not burden the arms industry out of our own pleasure. We did this because we never trusted the USA. Since the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, that is, since the 1990s, the USA has consistently and persistently positioned itself against...

    Do not repeat USA lies here! The "Kurds" in Syria are none other than the terrorist PKK. Likewise, neither the USA nor the PKK has fought against ISIS. The USA allowed Russia and Iran to massacre civilians in Syria, what are you talking about?! The deterioration in relations has nothing to do...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    First of all, the F110 engine is not TFX's main engine. The F110 engine will fly prototypes of the TFX. Either on our own or in partnership with the British we will develop a 5th generation engine for the TFX that will produce 35,000 lbs of thrust with AB. Let's say the worst happened. a) We...

    We are not masters yet, we are in the apprenticeship stage! :) We go from easy to difficult in the production of single crystal turbine blades. The first product produced with this technology was TEİ TS-1400. This product is about to enter mass production and it is a 1400 hp turboshaft engine...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    This choice was born out of necessity, we are not set an ambitious bar for us. :) This was not our original plan. Our original plan was to acquire the F35 for air-to-ground missions and develop a middleweight fighter for air-to-air missions, just as S. Korea did. As a result of the heavy...

    Firstly, the Russians could not put their Izdeliye 30 engines in the state they wanted. It is very, very doubtful that they have sufficient technical ability. Those who emerged in the Ukrainian war also support this. Secondly, we are not a country eager to cooperate with the Russians. The S-400...

    Ukr? No. Brits? Yes. I think RR company can propose a military engine to be derived from the Pearl 10 civil aviation engine. If this cooperation is realized, yes, the engine with the desired thrust (35.000 lbf with afterburner) can be reached until 2030. Otherwise IMO it would be very...
