I don't know because that is not what I experienced here. Everyone is cheering when something delivered. Saying something might be wrong or raising their concerncs doesn't mean people don't like the defence industry. People doing that because they want it to get better or getting furious...

Wasn't the point though. Point was you can't take his timelines as certain. There was no doubt about the delivery, the doub't was on the dates. I am fine about the delays though, I am not fine about the lack of transparency. Off course they can't share everthing but acting like there is no...

I’m wondering whether we could turn this situation into something that would work for our need for a 5T frigate as well. At the moment, it seems like there is a bottleneck in terms of cost, but if we could develop a ship designed from scratch to meet U.S. Navy requirements as well(like cabeling...

So TCG Kınalıada replaced with TCG Oruçreis. Wonder if it is done to get better air defence or some problems with TCG Kınalıada? (Or maybe testing TCG Oruçreis's new capabilities)

"Thank God we added TCG Istanbul to the Anatolia DGG and snatched it away before it was sold. 🤷🏻‍♂️"

If they say something, you can always hit hem back with this 😁; Yes this was a T629 concept but technically this is attack helicopter version of Gökbey as well :)

Sadly, Mahmut Aksit is alone in this regard. I don't remember any other company as open as TEI regarding the problems during the processes. We only pick something might going wrong when there is concurrent delays or some abnormality during the development progress.(And usually had to pick up...

Maybe, but on the other hand, during the baklava man era, TUSAŞ employees couldn’t see their families for long periods of time probably due to the pressure of meeting his deadlines.(to be fair, this choice always reflected as voluntariliy, not forced) Yes we need KAAN as soon as possible and...

That actually make sense now. During the process probably he exaggerates and later belive that his exaggeration is the truth as well.

Are we sending TCG Istanbul with Hisars? Did the Navy find the Hisars' performance sufficient, or is the fleet's defense left to Gökdeniz and RIM 166? This is like a new ship tour. I mean I like that the task force has been formed by these ships but I think it is early to do that if the VLS'...

"Meanwhile, as I mentioned earlier, approval/licensing has been obtained for the T70 TGMHP second package, and it can be said that 2026 will see the production and delivery of the second batch of T70s... May it be auspicious...." So it seems that the second batch licensing issue for the T70...

I am just wild guessing but is it possible that the drone we "pulverized" was the big one that act as a relay for these Orlans? Once we shot it down, these ones also get downed by themselves as well?(after a little bit of time off course) This might explain the range question. (If I am...

Actually I am more leaning towards to mixed fleet with CN295 and C27. I think they will complement each other well. CN295 is longer but has less height, while the C27 is shorter but has greater height.(Also there is a slight MTOW difference as well) This could strengthens the air force’s hand...

Wonder if we also consider the C27s after the C130Js? They use the same engine (different variants, though I'm not sure how different they are), we have good relations with Italy in the aviation sector, and they can reduce the C130's workload for loads that are just outside the C235's capacity...

No. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For a while, and possibly in the foreseeable future, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ will be the answer to all questions related to Air Force procurements.
