    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    For sensor fusion and threat assessment tasks, I predict they will use an AI model similar to the latest trend in AI: LLM's.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    When the same shot is fired from IWB while flying with the TF-10000 engine, this project will have truly achieved its goal. This is only the first step.

    Nothing will ever be the same again. We've entered a new phase. I congratulate everyone involved.

    The UAE itself is already a proxy entity for Israel and is also the world's leading money laundering hub.

    Given that the developer is Delta-V, I’m going to take a bold guess and say they use paraffin as fuel, mixed with aluminum or magnesium nanoparticles.

    If China invades Taiwan with force, Taiwan will definitely lose?

    The USA will be never intervene directly in that war. The USA's real goal is to drag countries like the Philippines, India, Taiwan, South Korea, and even Japan into war with China, and only engage China after it has become exhausted. With an "expendable" Taiwan prepared to fight China and wear...

    If China invades Taiwan with force, Taiwan will definitely lose?

    It all depends on how ruthless China is. If China doesn't care about civilian casualties, Taiwan won't be able to resist for long.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I’m curious about something that hasn’t come up in this discussion. Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar said, “We will also produce the engine of Kızılelma,” but he didn’t say, “We will develop and produce the engine of Kızılelma.” Am I misremembering? Can someone confirm? If it’s just about...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I suggested using the TF35000 engine at lower power, but there's another risk. That's this: The TF35000 engine components contain elements like cobalt that aren't easily sourced from abroad. If we're producing these rare elements under license for the F110, we can obtain them through the USA...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    In this case, there are two possibilities: Either the WS-15 wasn't ready in 2006 and they lied to everyone, or they're so incompetent that they haven't yet been able to get the engine to the thrust level they're aiming for.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I'm not an expert, but I would suggest the same. My reference for this is Prof. Akşit's statement about the TF-6000: "Our TF-6000 engine has already achieved 3800 lbf of thrust. It is even capable of being used in its current state during an emergency." This means that engines like the TF-6000...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    They probably only grasped the seriousness of the situation during the Ukraine-Russia war, as the lessons from Syria went unheeded. Redesigning the tank would have caused delays, so they decided to postpone the changes instead.

    Breaking News Israel strikes Doha

    Of the 363 AKP deputies, 264 voted "yes." No one but AKP members voted "yes." So how could Erdoğan have blocked the passage of the parliament? And by the way, Erdoğan somehow purged from his party all the deputies who voted "no" in that vote. Despite Erdoğan's support, the 367 "yes" vote wasn't...

    Breaking News Israel strikes Doha

    NO!! On contrary, Erdoğan did everything in his power to ensure that law was passed! It was the Turkish Grand National Assembly, not Erdoğan, that denied the USA to attack Iraq from Turkish territory.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    IMO, most important announcement here was that work is underway on the "TS-3000," which will deliver 3,000 hp or perhaps more. This means that, with the exception of the first 10 helicopters, we will not be purchasing any other engines for the T-925 from foreign countries.
