    How do we use Germany's money? Did the Germans give money to the project? Is the money left by immigrants who went there from Turkey while on holiday or their personal investments here belonging to Germany? So this cannot be the individual will of immigrant German citizens. Apparently the Nazi...

    He is a "Karamanlı" Note: Karamanlis are Orthodox Christian Turks who mostly lived in Karaman, Konya, Kayseri and surrounding areas. They were immigrated to Greece during the population exchange in 1926. Karamanli Turks have a rich written literature. These works are in Turkish and written in...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    IMO, Kaan will not be produced in large quantities like the F-16 due to manufacturing and operating costs. IMO, we need another fighter that is suitable for mass production and is cost-effective. This fighter: 1) capable of controlling drones, i.e. double seated, 2) stealth&navalize, 3) must...

    We need an armored vehicle to bring infantry closer to the enemy, this is a valid argument. But the name of this armored vehicle does not have to be "tank". A simpler, more compact and more cheaper armored vehicle can also undertake this "mobile shield" function...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    I think "the tank concept" itself is outdated! What is that concept? Tank = (armored mobile field artillery + armored mobile machine gun mount.) The main function of armor in this concept is to resist machine gun (or rifle) bullets and artillery shrapnel. The problem arises at this point. In...

    Former BMC CEO Murat YALÇINTAŞ says that i) Azra engine will enter mass production in 2024, ii) UTKU power package will enter mass production at the end of 2026, and iii) BATU power package will enter mass production after 2027. Of course, if things go as planned!!

    I think it's a normal development. The helicopter that is urgently needed is not the T929 attack helicopter. T925 helicopter is urgently needed.

    We will need thousands (perhaps even tens of thousands) of Göktuğ family missiles. The more international manufacturers there are, the lower the unit cost of missiles. I interpret it from this perspective.

    As far as I understand, both Tümosan and BMC Power could not start mass production of domestic armored vehicle diesel engines (and transmissions) on the mass production date they predicted. Then there is a problem in the domestic machinery manufacturing industry in general. This conclusion...

    BMC Power has 400 HP and 600 HP diesel engines, but BMC Poweer has not developed a domestic transmission for them. There are also 1000 HP UTKU and 1500 HP BATU engines and their transmissions. BMC Power does not have a power package (engine+transmission) in the 750 HP class.

    I don't think so. -This is my understanding, I could be wrong- The problem is that the domestic transmission produced by Ford Otosan for the Ekotorq engine has a 600 HP retarder. The domestic Ecotorq transmission cannot keep up with the engine's increased power of 720 HP. -Again, this is my...

    There is a domestic Ecotorq transmission designed and produced locally by Ford Otosan for the Ecotorq engine. But this transmission was not used in the 8x8 Arma II armored vehicle produced by Koç Group, although the domestic Ecotorq engine was used. Why didn't they choose it in Arma II? I...

    The Otokar ARMA II uses a 720 HP domestic Ecotorq engine, but the transmission they use is not domestic. If this engine is robust, IMO it can also be used in this vehicle upon the insistence of SSB. But a domestic transmission will also be required. Is there a suitable and robust domestic...

    If the BATU (not UTKU, but BATU) power package fits into the M60s, I think we should first renew all M60s with the new power package and the subsystems that will transfer its power. Then we modernize the tank step by step, starting with the new turret. If the BATU power package does not fit...

    Biden is said to be too senile to be criminally responsible

    Wonderful! The November-2024 elections will be held between the "Orange Egomaniac Madman" and the "Senile Genocidal Criminal". What I can't decide is this: Are USA citizens or rest of the World unluckier in this regard?

    Why were Gökbey deliveries delayed? Did Gendarmerie General Command dislike the first 3 Gökbey helicopters delivered and asked for modifications?
