This is an absurdly low amount of production capacity. Small gun workshops in the Blacksea region can reach better figures than this.

Yes but not necessarily to a very high standard of quality.

Yes, the production or Boran is horribly low. Should be at least 2 a month in peacetimes, but deliver 6-8 a month if necessary

Why aircraft carriers are still necessary in the age of supersonic precision missiles?One of the most important points is that in the construction of the 9 billion dollar aircraft carrier, 5 billion dollars goes to more than two thousand supplier companies. Even the construction of just one aircraft carrier ensures the creation and continuation of the huge defense industry infrastructure and industry.

While ASPİLSAN Energy continues to export lithium-ion rechargeable cylindrical batteries to Europe, battery exports have also started to the Middle East. In this context, a total of 250,000 ASPİLSAN INR18650A28 batteries were exported to the United Arab Emirates.

The same news also state that Ares is in collaboration with a foreign company and local institute to incorporate robotic welding in shipbuilding and automation in boat building (for the boats like Kama, specifically). From this perspective, if we may achieve a low-cost solution for the electronics, auxiliaries and propulsion unit Kama may turn out to be as affordable as an Anti-ship missile.

The bold part will increase efficiency of Ares shipyard or similar shipyards working in the yacht business. With finer construction, goes the better surface finishing and happy customers. The looks matter for yacht owners. An automated welding, unlike the one used in stiffened panel construction lines, that is capable of working on uneven, curved, top-bottom surfaces at once will diminish human factor and related errors (specifically curved space and top-bottom parts) and dramatically can reduce the time spent in welding. This is most suitable for yachts, super yachts, OPVs, patrol vessels, FACs etc. that do not go beyond a size and falls to be inefficient for block building.

Turkey's supercomputer is coming


Turkey's most advanced computer is counting the days to be put into service. The computer, which has more than 500 servers and 56 thousand cores, will put Turkey in the 'Top500' list of the world's most advanced computers, and thousands of researchers and companies will benefit.


Türkiye has taken important steps in catching up with Industry 4.0 in recent years. One of these was the supercomputer, which would revolutionize scientific research and product development for companies.

Turkish National Science e-Infrastructure (TRUBA) will be put into service in early 2024. Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır gave the good news that the supercomputer within TÜBİTAK will begin to serve in the coming days.

Türkiye enters the Top500

The world's supercomputers have a name. The name of Turkey's supercomputer was determined by taking the opinions of various groups in a survey, but it has not been announced to the public yet.

The name is expected to be announced at the computer commissioning ceremony. With this computer, Türkiye will enter the Top500.org list, which lists supercomputers in the world.

There are currently no computers from Turkey on the list. However, there is a computer called 'MareNastrum' in which Turkey is a partner. This computer belongs to some European countries, including Turkey, and the server center is in Spain.

Final tests are being carried out

Tests of the supercomputer that will be put into service from Turkey have been going on for a while. The final tests will be completed before the end of 2023 and will be put into service in the first days of 2024. With the introduction of computers, Turkey will move forward in data storage and big data processing.

While a laptop has 4 or 8 cores, this computer has 56 thousand 448 very powerful processor cores. It will have 126 terabytes of memory and will be cooled with water, not air, due to the enormous energy generated.

Academic studies, industrial research

The supercomputer has more than 504 servers. The computer, which can perform thousands of operations per second, can be used for competitive studies, Artificial Intelligence research and projects, studies that require high technology such as the defense industry, and academic projects and research.

For example, calculations of new technologies that conventionally need to be tested thousands of times can be made flawlessly with the help of these computers.

Digital twins can be extracted. Even calculations of air resistance around a jet aircraft will be able to be performed perfectly. In this way, a huge waste of resources and time will be prevented.

Serious question why doesn't Turkey buy Retail Nvidia Graphics Cards and build a cheap supercomputer with them.
It would be best to have several of these in Goverment, Universities, Research Institutes and Defense Companies and to network the computing capacity.
And the actual special supercomputer for the armed forces shown above.
The Chinese do it all the time and the Americans are totally pissed off about it.
This allows you to build supercomputers really quickly without Limit and very cheaply.

 

[Heartbang]

The Americans also completely banned the export of graphics cards to China.

As if that stops them, what is the black market for?
These are retail graphics cards, i.e. freely accessible technology 100 here 100 there ordered via a middleman somewhere in the world and you have thousands of graphics cards.

You do have a point, but that's not the complete picture.

It is a cat and mouse game. The noose keeps tightening for those who employ such measures.

You can't stop it, the second you order through Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, South Korea and some European countries via middlemen it's almost impossible to stop it. It gets even funnier when they even have the purchased own goods stolen from the warehouse, using their own people as a Coup/Heist and bringing them into the country through dark channels.
Then the tracks are covered anyway, they really think they can stop the Chinese Goverment .
Iran has been doing this for years, by Dual Use Goods otherwise they couldn't even build a microwave there for a kitchen .
Let alone drones, cruise missles und High Technology.

 

[Nilgiri]

These are retail graphics cards,

They really aren't. Each A100 chip costs 10,000 USD. To go anywhere with them needs clustering of many and the interconnect architecture which bumps the cost in 6 figures at least....large networked servers then cost in the millions of dollars.

They are technically graphics cards but really their use is not for graphic processing but for AI design and high scale simulations.

These all have lifetime support/warranty costs from Nvidia frontloaded into the price too....so that makes middlemen loopholes for these price levels both cost prohibitive (since you forfeit that cost by re-selling), restrictive and easy to monitor (unique ID of the chips etc) and bring WTO clauses to bear if any country systematically found engaging in it or shielding companies engaging in it.

The US recently banned export of the nvidia workarounds around the A100 ban (for China export) like the A800 too.

There is a service field that is flourishing far more than the blackmarket (i.e simulation with these chips simply offered for Chinese companies to rent, i.e China's own AI development etc. is largely unhindered), so the results were always limited w.r.t denying application of these chips.

Rather they are to keep the node and interconnect tech away from PRC for some period of time and force PRC to deploy way more HR there and funding there more than it otherwise would have. That's why its packaged with export restrictions on capital machinery as well regarding the new 7nm node.

We produced the first quantum integrated circuits in our Research Laboratory KUANTAL. Our quantum research will add advanced technologies to sensors and devices in existing products. We will transform our country's knowledge in quantum technologies into national systems.

Ahmet Akyol ASELSAN CEO

First step in quantum from ASELSAN: • First quantum integrated circuits were obtained at
aselsan's Quantum Research Laboratory • Thanks to products based on quantum technologies, capabilities in fields such as communication, perception, information systems and cryptology will increase further. • The laboratory also plays an important role in stopping brain drain and reverse brain drain in an area where trained human resources are quite limited.

Behcet Karataş is appointed as the manager of ASFAT.

This is one of the better pieces of news I have heard recently, as the previous manager was (pretty much) incompetent.

Behcet Karatas has a long history in Aselsan and was director of Naval systems.

Yes it's not meaningful to expect people to fly 44 hours without sleep, toilet and food surprisingly. Wouldn't wanna be in the place of U2 spy plane pilots though
