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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

I doubt they'll want it for themselves. They'll need to convert the export version to its original state. On the other hand, they have a commitment to India, and since they'll be exporting it anyway, they won't need to make any significant changes to the system. If they retrieve the S-400...

IMO, a perfect name for a firefighting helicopter. However, it is too feminine a name for a military helicopter.

There is not a single "atomic-size" chance, sir! Hahaha

A very good question, Sir!! :)

"Dr" Eray Güçlüer is source? LOOOOOOLL Pathetic.

Saudi and UAE hate Qatar. Whats talking about?

-It is overhyped by the US and China itself. ------------> Probably true. -Engine still suspect. -----------------> Why? -Too big as a fighter plane.---------------------> It's debatable. I don't think it's big, especially for the Pacific region. -It’s stealthiness can be questionable...

Happy 30th August Victory Day.
