    Is the Altay MBT DooMed?

    What construction? There was no new factory construction. All of the Altays will be produced in the Tank Palet Factory. Like Fırtina Howitzers. Aselsan+MKE also working on serial hybrid system for the power package. This system is more applicable for us as no transmission is required. The...

    Turkish Unmanned Vehicle Programs

    IMO this vehicle will probably not go into service for observation and attack missions, I think that such drones, like food delivery drones, will be used for logistical support. They are not very suitable for observation and attack missions, except at very short ranges.

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    No powder is used, instead titanium wire is used. The titanium wire is melted by the electron beam and added layer by layer. Of course this is current planning. If technical or political problems arise, everything will change. Because as far as I know, there is no company in Turkey that does...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Not laser. It's electron beam. Because it requires a heat source that will act instantly and deeply. The laser cannot penetrate that fast&deep.

    T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

    And he added: "Technically, it is more difficult to make a military-grade turbine engine. In a political sense, it is more difficult to make nuclear weapons."

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    It can happen, anything is possible. They may even refuse to sell directly. This just proves what I said. No country can rely on the products of another country in critical areas for its own defense. She should not be trusted. Especially if the country we are talking about has established its...

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    If the domestic power package was ready, we would not use even one foreign power package. Is there any guarantee that South Korea will not cause problems in the future? Of course not. Our ultimate goal is not to use any foreign origin products in the systems we will use in the defense of the...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    No. TAI's intention was to print that part in a giant 3D printer (8 meter X 8 meter) and completely under vacuum. They never thought of producing with the pressing technique. The piece in the picture is very very possibly a mock-up. I'm pretty sure it's not the real part.

    By the way, export permissions for MMU and Hürjet engines were taken. (F404 and F110) Söyleşi: TUSAŞ Kurumsal Pazarlama ve İletişim Başkanı Serdar DEMİR (savunmasanayist.com)

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I say it again. There is no joint work between Turkey and Ivchenko-Progress on the TF-X engine. There is an agreement for only two add-ons of the engine. Authorities say that even the engines (F110 or F110 class) needed for some of the mass production, let alone the prototypes, have been...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Now that the bottleneck in the 35.000 lbs class and robust national turbofan engine is so obvious, what can Turkey do? IMO, the lowest possibility is the development of a robust national turbofan engine suitable for 5th generation fighters by 2035. Perhaps a bit more realistic option would be...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I agree with you. I think "The National Turbofan Engine Development Project" itself will be a joke if we can't find a revolutionary innovation in engine design. ;) Because we do not have time and our economic situation is not suitable for it. A world class engine is required in a very short...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I think there is a misunderstanding. Turkey agreed with the Ukrainians not for the engine itself, but for two add-ons of the engine. First add-on that will generate the electrical energy and second add-on will start the engine. The difficulties in developing the engine's especially hot zone...

    ‘China’s Lehman Brothers moment’: Evergrande crisis rattles economy

    "If they can" No, IMO they can't. If Evergrande goes bankrupt, Western financial institutions that lend Evergrande more than China will pay for it. The Chinese Government doesn't make the same mistake that Obama did, and it protects China people more than it saves Evergrande. Obama rewarded...

    Following Afghanistan Defeat: Can EU Win Own ‘Independence’ from the US?

    No. An armed Europe means a Europe in civil war! History has shown this very clearly. In particular, the creation of a military force by Germany will disturb almost everyone in Europe.

    Turkish Missile Programs

    WVR has tail too, that one has not wore its fins yet. Because they were introduced to the F-16 mission computer as US missiles, the missiles are supposed to be kinematically very similar to their American counterparts. If, for example, we develop and manufacture a missile for MIUS, you can be...

    Erdogan's new Pentagon

    Such claims happen all the time. They are worthless unless proven. There is another issue here that is problematic in terms of political ethics. The only thing that the AKP government considers when starting a project is not the country's interest. If their core supporters are not going to make...

    Erdogan's new Pentagon

    True. The campus of Marmara University, the university I studied at, was similarly moved out of the city. Marmara University had 4-5 campuses scattered around the city. All of them had green areas and all of them stayed in the city center of Istanbul over time. The main campus was right in the...

    Erdogan's new Pentagon

    MMM-E (again) banned? Permanently or temporarly? Whatever, I mostly don't approve of MMM-E's views. Back to the topic, the joint headquarters issue is actually a complicated one. Joint headquarters is a necessity in this era. However, at the same time, the old headquarters lands, which are...

    Algeria cuts diplomatic relations with Morocco

    I did not say that Israel is now the devil. What I'm saying is that the reason for the upcoming war is the support Morocco receives from Israel in exchange for recognizing Israel. If you have influence over Israel, tell the Israelis to warn Morocco. The best way in everyone's interest is to...
