Just guessing here since no details are given but normally (excluding special equipment used by govt/banks/etc) the type of lock used on computer cases is low security, it's only really meant to prevent opportunistic theft. The keys are easy to get. It could also be talking about a laptop, which can be opened with a screwdriver. To me the description sounds like a disgruntled employee or an employee who was bribed by a competitor. A serious espionage attempt would be more sophisticated, for example using a special tiny USB key which doesn't even look like a USB key, and only needs to be plugged in and can automatically image all the drives onto itself.

If i recall correctly, no peripherals (except permitted like keyboard etc.) work on those computers.

That's good to hear, it means Baykar is taking security seriously.

Fun fact for readers: the reason motherboards with PS/2 ports are still made is because of this. The USB ports are completely disabled for security reasons so only PS/2 mice and keyboards can be used.

"President Erdoğan:

Now they are conducting the final tests of the Kızılelma. The challenge we have to overcome is to produce our own indigenous engine...

Aselsan has a burden here: camera production. Unfortunately, engine production takes five years. In this process, we have to import engines"

Full rate production for TF6000 confirmed as 5 years?

I think TF-10000 for KE, not TF-6000. If KE's testing is nearing completion, I think that's great news. A period of 5 years is foreseen for the TF-10000 Engine to enter mass production. This is an achievable goal, but still an ambitious one.

I'm not so sure. We know that TF6000 will be on the KE. TF10k is not even brought up yet in regards to its milestones.

especially if we consider the fact that TF10000 is TF6000 with afterburner... spending 5 years mainly for afterburner section can not be tha case I guess

 

[Zafer]

5 years is in a slow pace which is the norm. You can put it on the fast track and count months. TEI have already left some years behind in this engine development.

Please don’t forget that, although TF10K shares its core with TF6K, these engines are quite different.
When a 6000lbf thrust is augmented suddenly to 10000lbf as afterburner kicks in; that 4000lbf sudden thrust will crush the engine. Therefore the TF10K has to be built to better specs to withstand the sudden jolt.

There is however no reason to build the TF6K to the better specifications due to cost issues.

You are correct that as the TF10K is a derivative of TF6K. Hence it shouldn’t take too long to muster. But nevertheless it is a new engine and has to be tested as such.

I have a question (that I probably could google), but when you turn on the afterburner, you're talking about sudden increase in speed and thus higher pressure, but is it possible to gradually turn on the afterburner in steps to minimize the sudden thrust ?

Yes. You can gradually increase the afterburner's thrust. But if your engine is not designed to withstand that increase it is still going to be a problem.

"If it takes 5 years for a 6k lbf engine, how many years do we have to wait for a 35k lbf engine?

With this statement, our dreams have entered the black bag. We are eagerly waiting to see how the MMU will fly with a domestic engine in 2028."

My thoughts exactly.

Yes. You can gradually increase the afterburner's thrust. But if your engine is not designed to withstand that increase it is still going to be a problem.

As per @Afif ’s explanation , you can introduce afterburner in stages. The fuel spray nozzles can be adjusted in say 5 stages in the case of f16s to increase afterburner level in increments.
When the fuel air mix is burnt in the combustion chamber to the full it would create too high a temperature for the innards of an engine to withstand. Therefore a cooler air is introduced by the compressor to the airflow before it goes through the turbines. So when the hot air exits the turbine it has a good deal of oxygen in it. When you spray this hot air with fuel, it will use this oxygen and reheat the exhausted air, increasing thrust.
During dogfight when you are in full dry thrust and suddenly need extra power to get out of a sticky situation or you find there is a missile on your tail, you are not going to think about staged afterburner.

TF 6000 is supposed to be used in ANKA-3 , isn't it?
ANKA -3 doesn't need afterburner.

 

[Zafer]

The engine in question may not even be one of TEI's

Bro in fact afterburner is not the most favouable thing nowadays for any platform but just a scientific trick as we all know. ANKA & KIZILELMA may never need a sudden thrust increase...

Isn’t it most useful for increasing take off weight and or reducing distance

On land they probably won't need it but if we intend to use them on naval platforms, it is needed ! TCG Trakya
