This strategy is industry wide. The same thing happend with Atak helicopter, SOM missile's, etc. I believe it was Temel Kotil that explained this using Lego as an example. He explained that you make a final product using Lego pieces that come from various sources, be it domestic and foreign. At...

The PG-115 engine is a classified engine, as far as I know. I personally never came across any information regarding this engine. The speculation surrounding this engine was about it potentially being used in a Harop type of suicide drone. As to why it wasn't used on TB2, I do not know. I am...

PD-155 engine's are too big for TB2's if I recall correctly. From my understanding Baykar started work on TB3 using PD-170 engine's. It is believed that TB3 will be bigger or have a bigger payload. Along with that as well, the engine's for TB2 are off the shelf engine's and embargoe's don't...

Actualy I didn't know what you meant, that's why I asked. I didn't just want to assume based on a single sentence. Judging from this message I am forced to assume, you can correct me if you feel like I misinterpreted your message: Based on this sentence, it suggests that you assume corruption...

What exactly are you trying to say here? Was SSM independent back then?

SSB has been leading many projects within the industry and has a proven track record of doing things accordingly, to which our defence industry has almost reached it's goal (80% + indigineous, with all strategic components being either indigineous or at least have the know how to make them...

Why is it wrong to build skyscrapers in Istanbul? Isn't it more efficient to go vertical? If I look at Japan for example, an earthquake prone country, has loads of skyscrapers. They need efficient living due to them not having enough farmland because of mountainous terrain. Japan is in regards...

I understand the urgency and feel the same way. If it were up to me, all those buildings would be demolished and rebuilt in paralel. But we also got to consider Turkey's construction capacity. This includes all construction companies and workers within the country. I am sure they all have their...

No, I am sorry to say but journalists job is not to inform the people. It is to mislead people unfortunately. There are only a handfull of journalists that are actually trying to inform people but they are really scarce. Those that do inform properly either get bullied by interest groups, big...

The PMT is dating back all the way to 2017 (MKE MFY-71), the project's start was 2016 according to what I found on Google. There is also a video from 2017 of shooting tests conducted by MKE for MFY-71: http://www.millisavunma.com/mke-mfy-71-yerli-makineli-tufek/ Sarsilmaz's machine gun looks...

I haven't read the arcticle, I just looked at the pictures. But I am sure there are some mistakes regarding the calibre. But Sarsilmaz is working on a 12.7 mm machine gun and is in prototype stage according to this post. While the 7.62 machine gun is in serial production, this is confirmed by...

The propaganda in the west is the result of the government policies, and not the other way around. What I mean with this is, the "news" they report is a reaction and a product of the governments policies. The government is not influenced by their media, but it is the media that is influenced by...

I love the new camo. But why did they have to go with that jacket design? It is similar to Russian jacket designs with the colars and those are really ugly. Azerbaijan uses those types of jackets as well (saw it on Aliyev a couple of time). I was hoping they would get rid of those types of...

I agree with the second paragraph. Freedom of speech argument is being used to push various agenda's and narratives of various interest groups around the world in order to mislead people (manufactering consent). Though I do agree with the support of freedom of speech, there should also be...

Awesome post, thanks for sharing. I don't know about these particular products being blocked (none of the tweets made any reference to any blockades). Turkish companies aren't 'forced' to localize due to this reason, but rather it is Turkey's policy to localize and domesticly produce in order...

Polarizing and slandering in politics isn't something new. This has been inherited from politicians of old. I am not sure when it exactly started but it was really prevelant in the late 70, left vs right. Even Menderes vs Inonu was quite polarizing. I recall when I was really young (more than 20...
