One of the most informative interviews about the state of Turkish missile propulsion engines and Kale Arge. Land based anti-ship missile engine for Atmaca, KTJ-3700 is still a prototype and going through lab tests. Arat apparently would be similar to KTJ-3700 with higher compression. I was...

Kotil is ready but if you have noticed even Hürjet, ATAK 2, etc. video updates disappeared all of a sudden compared to election month. I think they will release dozens of videos in March election campaign. Most logical and prudent course of action would be to ready second prototype to taxi...

Weather will be much better last week of march. January February are the worst possible months for a critical, national pride at stake, first flight test.

Anything not on par with Greek's F-35s and American's F-22s is a no starter for Türkiye. They will just be shiny flying coffins, not fighter jets.

Low Observability In Infrared Spectrum. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit heat energy in the form of radiation. Usually this radiation is invisible to the human eye because it radiates at infrared wavelengths, but it can be detected by electronic devices designed for such a...

RF-IR Stealth (Techniques) Brief : The advantage of detecting, identifying and engaging a target while stay invisible is undeniable, thus for years designers has been attempting to minimize the ability of radar, RWR and Infrared system to detect aircraft. Aircraft with significant low...

Learn to talk like a grown up. I am probably older than you. Aselsan is bragging about having 10 billion dollars backlog due to slow production rates. STM is bragging about making only 3000 quadcopters for all these years. TUSAS doesn't even flinch when they lose a $1.5 billion already signed...

And what Türkiye is not capitalist? Even China is capitalist. You can't hide behind socialism or communism anymore to cover up institutionalized governmental inefficiency, poor work ethics due to unmonitored personal performance or overall low output, sales and profits. In a World of...

Some people in a huge company working to exhaustion is not same as that company overall being more productive. Same country, similar circumstances government owned company sells ANKA drones to a handful of nations other private company sell theirs to 30+ nations. Calling this normal is nonsense...

Nonsense? What real motivation workers, bosses at TUSAS or ASELSAN have to produce 20 times more by engaging with other 150+ nations effectively? 12 drones a year will get them off the hook with government and keep them employed until they retire. Pushing workers, resources to produce 500 drones...

What made TB2 a world best seller was videos of them RUTHLESSLY destroying dozens of Russian air defenses meant to stop them. Showing up at 1000 fairs couldn't have done that. TUSAS has no such videos therefore their foreign sales suck. Also they are lazy. Production rate target of 500 TB2s a...

I just asked Compose AI chrome extension about our future with robotaxis & eVtols. This is the AI response: 1. Shared Mobility: Robotaxis can revolutionize our transportation system by enabling autonomous, on-demand taxi services. Rather than owning a car, people can simply hail a robotaxi...

Robotaxis have infinite combinations of point A to B, not just a few like rail systems. Maglev trains are a comfortable, super fast, safe choice for intercity travel but initial investment costs are massive. Even America can't afford a network of Maglevs. Flying taxis could be best option of...

A "Very" stupid trademark to pick. Before you decide the name of your brand from a list of 20 candidates, GOOGLE them all. An unique good quality brand name should be as short as possbile and yet should return close to zero hits in google. Nowadays when you search "apple" in google, it only...

Is it too much to ask for a CHEAP chinese style iron based battery, small FSD Turkish electric car? Most of a car's cost is battery. $4000 -$20.000. So cheaper the battery, the better. https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/how-much-do-ev-batteries-cost Where is our Turkish, cheap, basic...

TUSAS can do anything even a 5th gen air superiority fighter. Speed of development is stunning, sales not so much?! Even KAAN sales to Pakistan are possibly in danger of being lost to China. Not to mention failure to secure an engine for ATAK by bypassing US and Italy thus losing $1.5 billion...

So does anyone know how many TB2 and other drones are airborne on everage? Here is a screen from Baykar Kizilelma documentary (Part-2 39:15). There are around 40-50 drones at any given time, most of them without transponders/identification as I understand it.

Türkiye is at the very bottom of OECD comparative price levels list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity Meaning to buy the same $100 supermarket goods in OECD countries Turks have to pay the least amount $36! Life is cheapest in Türkiye in a sense. Now that minimum wage is...
