Nope man
I didnt mean it that way
I meant that Erdo literally gave Seljuk Bayraktar the necessary "connections" for Baykar to thrive and reach its true potential
When i said where he found that glorious man, I meant how he found out that he had such amazing latent potential
Sorry if i was a bit abstract
Didnt mean that Erdo founded the company or the ppl itselves
That's what I have understood.

Six bids have been submitted to the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) light combat aircraft (LCA) tender, according to Malaysian media reports.

The bids include India’s Hindustan Aeronautics with the Tejas, a conglomerate of Russian-led companies with the MiG-35, China’s Catic with the L-15, Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) with the FA-50, Turkey Aerospace industries (TAI) with the Hürjet, and Italy’s Leonardo with the M-346.

Huge success for Turkish defence industry if they can win this. Maybe a stretch right now even tho Malaysia is a friend, unfortunately.

181 billion TL is almost 17 billion euros. Thats not much.

USA: 778 billion
China: 252 billion
India: 73 billion
Russia: 62 billion

Of course, it is not possible for Turkey to compete with states such as the US and China but Turkey's defense expenditures should not be evaluated on the basis of the given figure. Most of the projects are financed by the companies themselves. Apart from this, departments such as DPT, SSDF, Tübitak and some other ministery also support defence R&D. Many of programs financially started over TL. In other words, evaluating these expenditures in Dollars and Euros does not always give accurate results and the total figure has always been more than the stated figure.

The total defense budget of Türkiye is roughly around 25 billion $ when you add defense industry support fund(SSDF) and various R&D funds.

Such a historical moment
When was the last time Turkey had a military that was a cut above the rest? Probably around 200 years ago
Now Turkey is facing off against monoliths like Russia, China, Italy, and South Korea
Even if Turkey didnt win, it is a majestic step towards the top of the ladder
Lose today, win tomorrow and if Turkey won this bid, it would be a testament to the potential of the Turkish engineers that had been rotting in the dust for more than 5 to 6 decades!
Really love how Turkey is rising
No wonder the West are pissing themselves

It used to be around 20 b usd. But when you give up these numbers in TL you can get away with spending less on defence budget. 3 b usd is quite many Ada class

If not mistaken it is at 1,8% or 1,6% right now. Needs to be at 2,5% tbh.

But with the economy in tatters can’t expect much.
