It's not that I don't trust my country, your country, or our country... it's just that this is cutting-edge technology. You need LUV systems, suitable clean rooms, and manufacturing processes with a good yield rate that are roughly on par with TSMC. They do this commercially, unlike us, which...

Even if buyers are able to purchase the machines, ASML and the United States ultimately retain control over the technology. This is because operation, maintenance, spare parts, and software updates still depend on ASML — which itself is politically and technologically dependent on the U.S. What...

If this scenario were to actually occur, it would undoubtedly bring about fundamental changes. However, I consider it unlikely that it will come to this: Similar to the US, China pursues a strategy of not giving up its own advantages without receiving significant concessions or strategic...

I think Turkey is currently trying to diversify its semiconductor production. To this end, it is using modern manufacturers in South Korea, China, and Taiwan so as not to be dependent on a single supplier. At the same time, Turkey is apparently planning to build its own factory in the country...

It would have been strategically sound to design the Hürjet from the outset as a twin‑engine platform, powered by two TEI TF‑10000 engines. This configuration would have provided not only engine redundancy — a critical factor for naval operations — but also greater total thrust than a single...

More than half of it is wrong — but that’s just my opinion. It is wishful thinking and not based on facts. The world is driven by money, influence, and cultural proximity — or distance right? Take Armenia, for example: The country itself is absolute poor and has no significant influence as a...

Yes, the SPD, the Greens, and the Left Party are already infiltrated by the PKK. But even then, Germany does not accept an independent Turkey with geopolitical ambitions. This is a cross-party issue in Germany and cannot be attributed to any one party. They have a flaw in their understanding and...

Don't pay any attention to Harris. A key problem with the TAI KAAN's engine issue is that not just any alternative can be used. The aircraft design was specifically developed around the dimensions, weight, and performance characteristics of the General Electric F110 engine (or the future TEI...

The current US stance on supplying the F110 engine to Turkey remains in limbo. Although there are isolated positive signals, there is still no binding and clear decision – neither a clear commitment nor an official rejection. This strategic vagueness is no coincidence, but rather the expression...

We should not be under any illusions: if the US, or rather Israel, decides not to deliver the F110 engines for political or strategic reasons, or to delay delivery further, then they simply will not deliver them. They are under no obligation whatsoever to provide us with these engines. That is...

I think you may have overlooked an important aspect of geopolitics—and I don't mean that in a reproachful way. Russia and China are definitely pursuing the strategic goal of pulling Turkey further out of Western spheres of influence. This is evident, among other things, in the fact that China...

In this context, it is not a question of actively procuring Chinese or Russian engines or bringing about a strategic realignment, but solely of securing a backup plan for the worst-case scenario—a scenario in which Western supply chains remain permanently blocked and no alternative is available...

I have never understood the philosophy of the Chinese and Russians – I am talking about the governments here, not the people. They say that Iran is their ally, but they do not supply it with modern weapons or support it by intercepting Israeli missiles, as the Americans do with Iranian missiles...

The motor question is essentially a key action. The US/Israel do not want to deliver, because this would promote Turkey's independence even more. They do not want to strengthen Turkey. However, they are in a dilemma because they are in a bind. The US also does not want Turkey to manufacture...

Then there will be other possibilities to get engines elsewhere as an interim solution, you act as if there are no more alternatives on the market. The Shenyang WS-10 Block C or D, for example has FADEC (this is based on the CFM56 engine which is essentially the core of the F101/F-110 family) it...
