    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    Not yet. Our high power and durable turbofan engine problem continues. There are also problems with the sensors. But most importantly, there is a risk that political isolation will turn into economic isolation, and this risk is increasing rapidly. You cannot keep the economy alive without...

    Go down & go down. a) As long as we run a current account deficit, this bad economic situation will continue. b) Erdogan's loss of the elections will not solve the political problem. Things are more complicated there. The main reason why the Turkish political system is unstable is that...

    Autonomous drones may have ‘hunted down’ and attacked troops in Libya without human control – UN report

    Hafter's forces was a retreating force, not surrendering force. Therefore, there is no need to show mercy.

    Turkey conducts operational firing test with HISAR-A+ air defense missile system

    Thats very true. We have finally acquired the necessary technology in this field, but we spent a lot of time. Aside from the gains, this was the main loss. The same is true for the Altay Tank. In fact, the waste of money and time on the Altay Tank is enormous.
