Everything I wrote in about this topic still stands as I have provided all the sources for the arugments that I made. Not only that, I doubt the rumor that @TheInsider posted is true because it contradicts the timeline that happened so far regarding SSB, the problems surrounding serial...

@ 0.26 minute mark. What gun is that? The one with the thin handguard rail. Is that a Kale-556? It looks awesome.

In order to confirm the information being true and whether we interpreted the information correctly. Otherwise anyone can make wild claims, but in that we would only be shooting ourselves in the foot. Well, you have been making solid claims citing corruption and dirty dealings, which only...

The reason for tank palet was to shorten the schedule for delivery like I explained in one of my previous posts including the source. Do you have a copy of the agreement? Where it states that know-how was not included? I mean what do you base this on? How many of the Altay prototype people...

When did the BMC delegate visit tank palet and what was the reason for the visit? Do you have a source that provides more details regarding this? Regarding this, Mete Yarar (when asking Ethem Sancak a question) says that SSB tells all the defence companies to visit all of the companies under...

Since 2018 (the year the tender concluded). That tank palet would come into play wasn't known by BMC either. The original plan was to manufacture the tank in BMC's new factory in Arifiye. But because of urgent need, tank palet was rented to BMC for 25 years. The original schedule was to deliver...

Do you have a source for this? Tank palet was because TSK was in urgent need of the Altay tanks. So tank palet came into play in order to speed up the process according to Ethem Sancak. Where did I claim that there were no engines? I said that there were engine/power pack issue's, but never...

Having delays in a project does not mean that skills necessary are missing. The issue's regarding all the delays on the tank has been discussed for pages and pages on both this forum as well as back on PKD, as well as sources available from various media. It is all out there and available to us...

Altay was ready for serial production in, at least, october of 2016 according to Ali Koc (https://t24.com.tr/haber/altay-tanki-seri-uretim-icin-hazir,369990). But we were getting embargoed before 2016 (or at the very least in 2016). Austrian government blocked AVL to give technical assistance to...

The example is about how companies can earn revenue from aftermarket parts and maintenance and that can be quite significant. Boeing was used as an example of how much revenue can be made from aftermarket parts and maintenence, it is a company that earns more from aftermarket parts and...

According to this source, the upgrades for Leopard 2's will be done at Arifiye (I cited this source in my previous source as well): https://www.savunmasanayist.com/leopard-2a4-modernizasyonu-yeni-gelismeler/ I think some M60's had gone upgrade's at border area's when the cross border operations...

How BMC makes revenue from the civilian sector etc. that is all fair enough. I never argued that. Your post suggested that BMC wasn't already in the military industry before the aquisition, or it gave me that impression at least. And I stated that BMC was already in the military sector and...

According to the first AA.com.tr source, Ethem Sancak already was in talks with the Qatari investors. That meant that Sancak was going to share the risk of acquiring BMC with his Qatari partners. This suggests that Sancak had a plan and a roadmap with his Qatari investors as suggesting by this...

Like I said in my previous message, board members have a background of running a business. That's all there is to it. That is what investing and doing business is all about. You don't have to have a background in heavy industries, in order to run a heavy industries company like BMC. All they...

Sancak wasn't offered into that position, he was the sole contender in the TMSF's tender for BMC. BMC's funding came mostly from Qatar, this allowed them to take extra risks (relative to its direct competition). BMC isn't obligated to publish its annual reports, because it is not a publicly...

BMC wasn't seized by the government. BMC went bankrupt and the state saved the company from completely vanishing. Cukurova holding gave some of its assets (inlcuding BMC) to TMSF in order to settle its debts. TMSF opened a tender to sell BMC and eventually Ethem Sancak was the winner of the...

If a company wins a tender, then by default it means that they are capable of delivering what is promised within the tender. Here's why; those involved in the tender process, assess and analyze not only the offers but also the capabilities of all the candidates and select a winner for these...

There could be loads of reasons for this. We can't know for certain unless he says why he sold. My guess is, the discussions in media and politics could have had a big play in his decision. If I were in his shoe's, I wouldn't have appreciated my name being used in stupid political discussions...

I don't understand what there is to be defended? The tender still belongs to BMC doesn't it? This is how business works by the way guys. Shareholders can sell their shares to other investors and the company in question will still operate the same way it did as before. Getting a new owner does...

Was suprised that there was Turkish in there, so I assumed it was a Turkish rapper from England as he says he's from north-London but then goes on to rap in a little Dutch as well (with a solid Dutch accent mind you)? Who is this guy?
