I suppose there aren’t any flight today 😢?

Happy Republic Day 😊

In principle, yes – Europe is paralysed by the war in Ukraine and cannot help Greece. Should a war break out between Turkey and Greece, the following things would happen simultaneously: the Russians would launch a massive attack on Ukraine in order to force a decision. Europe would be torn apart...

I doubt that Ivchenko Progress can conjure up 80+ engines (plus spares) while the war rages in Ukraine. Apparently, TAI and TEI have progressed so far with the TEI TF-6000/10000 turbofan engine that they are close to beginning flight tests with several prototypes maybe? Ivchenko Progress could...

A typical Western or Fail Analysis from Wannabees Expert's: when Turkey expands culturally, economically and technologically and asserts itself on the global stage, people speak of ‘neo-Ottomanism’; when it enters into treaties, cooperation agreements and alliances with countries in the Middle...

Who would have thought it – first they impose sanctions on us, and then they come crawling back. Ideally, we should sell them everything they need, but without cooperating in value creation, we shouldn’t reward such a countries with cooperation; we should simply view them as good customers.

How many Siper batteries do we have at present, and how many will we have by the end of 2026 – is 6–7 a realistic figure? What is the current status of Siper Block 2 – when will it be officially handed over to the armed forces? This needs to happen faster... we need at least 12–14 active Siper...

Is there any information on when the maiden flight will take place?

Hopefully

I see it differently: it is better to gain this experience now, and it should show the global public that we are a spacefaring nation – that brings not only prestige but also contracts. I still consider a localisation rate of over 80% to be a very good figure; by the end of 2030, we can...

Israel is powerless to act – in all three theatres, people are simply waiting for a flashpoint and a fatal mistake on Israel’s part, in the form of a military strike against Turkey. Should this happen, the following would occur: the US would have to deploy massive numbers of troops and equipment...

Baykar should consider developing a drone capable of carrying a payload of 80–90 kg and featuring VSTOL capabilities – our frigates and destroyers would certainly welcome this. If every frigate or destroyer could carry 2–4 such drones, the operational range and utility would be immense...

Different League more Champions League in Color Grading and presentation. I think this is the best image composition Baykar has produced or commissioned to date. The Mavi Vatan Clip It’s a good idea! But the execution is absolutely dreadful. I hadn’t used any quick cuts, but rather calm shots...

And to hell with them… as far as I’m concerned, they can celebrate it 100 times over – they’re powerless now. They can’t achieve anything operationally anymore. Like the ETA, they’ll slowly disintegrate from within. I hope our government pushes this forward; there will certainly still be...

That costs money and we have not the capacity – we’re not the US, Russia or China, which can manufacture and maintain 4–5 different types of manned aircraft on a long-term basis. For us, 2–3 aircraft is really as far as we can go. TAI KAAN TAI Hürjet TAI Hürküs That actually puts us in a very...
