I am not sure Indonesia understands that IF-X/KF-X prototypes are built in Korea and the Korean government has an option not to send one of those jets to Indonesia if the Indonesian government refuses to make the full payment that was agreed between two nations. Realistically, the project cannot...

This is why Turkey needs to develop a commercial shipbuilding industry. Currently, what I understand is that Turkish shipbuilding industry mostly focuses on building yachts and repairing & servicing existing ships. A $1 billion export made by Turkish Shipbuilding industry is an impressive...

That's a robot. It is a machine programmed to execute one or more tasks automatically. In case, you have not noticed a very good number of industrial robots that enhance automation in China are made by Foreign companies and automation of plants in China is not possible without their robots...

Robots are one of THE most important part of industrial automation. Anyone who denies this doesn't understand manufacturing. "Robots" aren't only multi-axial industrial robots, but also other machines that are programmed by software to carry out a series of complex tasks automatically. This...

Thank you for the information. They are helpful. I agree the project is a great stepping stone for Indonesian aerospace industry. However, I wouldn't say the drone is a medicore based on the specs provided by @Indos. I find them quite interesting. For instance, the Indonesian MUAV is expected...

Just like many electronics and mechanical goods, I don't think they will be made of Chinese indigenous technologies. The Chinese companies that are relevant (Siasun, Honyen and etc) in the field lag behind of companies from Japan, Europe and America and I don't see any change in the industry at...

Thank you. I don't think it would be a 2 stroke engine for that size and I suspect it would be the same engine as MQ-1 Predator which has been a popular choice for UAV of this class. Interesting. Is there any particular feature that separates Indonesian MUAV from existing UAVs?

You miss my point. Automation and robot shipments are pointless if they are not accompanied with development of indigenous robotics industry. Robots just don't run by themselves, but have to be operated, serviced and maintained by skilled labor. In fact, those robots could be shipped else where...

Does the UAV have a turboprop or just a diesel engine like MQ-1C Grey Eagle and Turkish drones? Many thanks.

Pretty much non-existence. I can't think of any Chinese industrial robotics company that is better than either ABB or FANUC. It is one of those industries that old players in engineering utterly dominate the market. >but...but KUKA is acquired by a Chine Yeah, but KUKA is still a German...

I have been saying this for years. It is plain to see that China will experience population ageing far worse than Western countries where constantly fill up their young population through immigration.

Basically they want a source of cheap labour in countries other than China. I am a bit wary as Vietnam is also a communist country which can go full-China anytime.

Honesty, it should extend the measures to all Chinese companies. CCP has blatantly created unfair business environments against international companies. Industrial espionage, IP violations, accounting frauds, nepotism and other unacceptable business practices are rampant in China. It was almost...

They are not airbreathig jet engines, mate. They are strategically too important. Ivchenko refused to transfer technologies to Turkey in the past and they will refuse Turkey's requests in the future. Ah, yes UkrSpetsExport It seems like Ukraine think they are exporting engines to Turkey by...

The main weapon before firearms in Japanese battlefields was a bow(弓取り), not a sword. In fact, Japan was not an island of savages without any technology much as the rest of East Asia. Even then, it is true that it took decades for them to catch up with the rest of Europe and North America. By...

Mate, intellectual property rights belong to the company that developed the engine and they do not get transferred to its subsidiary & joint venture. The state-owned Ukrainian company, Ivchenko did not transfer critical technology in the past and won't do it in the future for its strategic...

TB2 nor Anka-S is not on par with Reaper in terms of capability. I do not question whether Turkey will operate MQ-9 Reaper-tier drones in the future, but at the moment they don't have any. That's the point. The war in Syria was a rare opportunity that Reaper being tested against a Russian...
