I don't think this is legit. Doesn't look like an executive order from the official gazette and there are some grammatical errors. Orders are typeset in Times New Roman. Not to mention Calibri has a certain history in Turkish politics. From what I hear the cabinet will be announced next week.

The reason transistor counts are so inflated in contemporary CPU is that they have: 1) iGPUs with display controllers to match 2) an ever-increasing amount of L1, L2, L3 cache 3) many special and general purpose registers 4) to implement a CISC architecture (like Intel/AMD x64 CPUs) with huge...

I didn't want to clutter the KAAN topic, so here's an update on my Blender experiment. I've still not added textures yet, because I had to refine Buchmaru's model and increase its resolution for smooth shading. Modeling the thin film interference of the canopy due to its ITO coating was...

Here's their Google drive shared folder. It's a Blender file.

Trying to texture our hero Buchmaru's 3D model of the KAAN. I've UV unwrapped it, but I don't really know how to texture, so it'll be a learning experience for me. Here's a preview: Placeholder plain materials for now. KAAN's looks are definitely growing on me.

I doubt they will be using ARM. It's not open source, and licensing it for arms is risky (pun very much intended). ÇAKIL used RISC-V, this is probably an evolution of our custom RISC-V implementation.

Yes of course, I don't think any EV is ready to be patrol vehicle. Charging times are still unacceptable for actual policing. You can't just have someone bring you a can of diesel if you run out of juice.

I used to see MINI Countryman's by the Bosphorus bridge. They'll probably replace those with these. It's like Italians using Lamborghinis. It's a pride thing. The spiritual successor to Tofaş Kartal etc. is the Fiat Egea. In fact it was a joint venture between FCA (now Stellantis) and Tofaş. I...

We keep seeing the KE doing these super long landing flares for some reason. Maybe they're testing out the automated landing systems? Maybe either the operator or autoland is extra cautious to ensure a soft landing at the expense of landing distance?

G.O.R.A. tech

What's wrong with getting assistance from Ukraine? Manufacturing capability is one thing, what Swiss watchmakers call "Savoir-Faire" (know-how) is another. Know-how is accumulated, sometimes over centuries; capability can be transferred. Ukrainians have a long history of designing and...

The concave face that extends beyond the main rotor mast (thereby greatly hiding it) is quite interesting. It looks like a humpback from the side, but maybe it helps reduce RCS? I hereby christen thee: T-929 "Quasiroto" Edit: it seems Bell's 360 does this too. Never noticed it before. Maybe...

I've always felt that the Ka-50-2 "Erdoğan" would have been an awesome attack helicopter for TSK. I know it's cool to dunk on Russian hardware these days, but I never thought their platforms were bad, the inheritors of Soviet tech just failed to properly modernize, maintain, and innovate due to...

That's P&W's flying testbed (a modified B747 SP).

In the documentary, starting at 16:09: İbrahim Korkmaz, Power Pack Lead: "The first integration into the Altay tank of the [domestic*] power pack, which consists of an engine, transmission and cooling pack, has successfully been completed. This is of critical importance in the reduction of...

Excellent video with a different take on what might differentiate 6th gen from 5th gen: TLDW: Streamlined "agile" development and manufacturing, increased automation during design and manufacture, modular hardware and software architectures, incremental improvements to an evolving platforms...

I initially wrote a long write-up on which fabs are capable of fabricating GaN MMICs that are identical to AB Mikro Nano's latest process by looking through open source information. I have a good idea which fab manufactured these first round of MMICs, but I won't share it here as it could be...

That's an even better suggestion! Even down to the temporary US-sourced engine.

One thing I noticed on the GTU-0 was the lack of an air data boom. I'd guess it's for the upcoming ceremony. We'll see it with a boom before its first flight.

Does this imply that SIPER won't have anti-ballistic capabilities until at least 2028?
