    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    No, most people do not think you are dumb but maybe too young and unexperianced, a.k.a delikanli in the true sense. Let me explain; we all, including me agree that unmanned drone will dominate the future war. However, we do not know if that future is in 5, 10, 20 or 50 years from now...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    There is only so many things such as Gökbey, Atak2, T629, Hurjet, Hurkus, Aksungur, Anka 3, KAAN and ton of other projects such as f35 partnership a single company can do at the same time. All this within the last 5 years. Furthermore, how do you know that TIA is not developing unmanned...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I'm sure you are correct. However, my hunch is that it will be the decoy Super Simsek or similar super stealthy surveillance platforms which will see the target 200km ahead of any of our weapons platforms arrives. Rafeal or any other 4gen fighter will not know what launched the missile. For all...

    As cool as that sound, those cities also inhabit about 30-35M, including most of the industries, admistration and not to forget a lot of tourist visiting İstanbul.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    The whole 30 year thing is a common misunderstanding of how patents work, which typically are valid for 20-30 years depending on country. People think you can't modify your own equipment just bcs it is patented. They simply don't know that patents are only relevant for commercial use in a...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    I'm sure that you are aware of the fact that anyone can purchase semiautomatic weapons over the counter in USA. So, if someone needs cheap and darn good weapons then they go and get turkish stuff. No need or even will to give free weapons to cartels. However, if you are looking for a group...

    TR Economy & Updates

    High inflation have been chronic for at least 50 years, hence the reason to remove 6x0 in our currency. it will remain so until we actually start producing high value export products, stop our over consumption of luxury products and stop dependency on external energy. Also, everyone knows...

    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    I don't think the constitution will allow any other candidate other than KK from CHP since presidential election is personal, not party related. Sinan could theoretically be the second but i don't know the constitution too well to tell if he would be allowed either.

    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    He nor anyone else had any limit as prime minister as it was not a legal requirement. That was just internal AKP tüzük, i.e. not worth the paper it was written on since akp could change it themselves.

    TR Sensors and Detector Programs

    Others have pointed out the dynamic range of larger sensor size but the limited transmission rate at 150/300km distance probably has an influence on the sensor size. This will probably improve when we have a few thousand sats in low-earth-orbit. This is a work in planning right now.

    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    As you may know, there is an old legal requirements in Turkey that all party politics on mayor news platform to stop the day before electtion. Hence, twitter being a big "news" platform must also comply with local laws. Similar laws exist in a lot of countries to allow people to vote freely...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    This one is flying close to Turkish borders, not Russian. Also, having high resolution images of the missile, the rocket engine plume to calculate power and the launch is not the same as having radar coverage, i.e. a dot on a screen over part of the ballistic trajectory. That said, it is...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    There already more than enough bullets to kill every human. There is already more than enough nukes to kill every human. There is already more than enough knives to kill every human. The list goes on and on so you get the point. It is not possible to make swarms of drones illegal as that would...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    Anka 3 is the development project name, not a product name. Tusas is obviously free to choose Anka-3 as the product name, but their history indicates that they will select another name for the final production-ready drone.

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think you are mixing the insane unit feet with meter. I have no understanding of why Turks are using this insane unit. This is about 20km, space starts at 100km.

    TR Space Space Programs

    I don't think they got the space technology yet but intend to develop sats for various applications. They will probably need several revisions. Keep in mind even universities develop small sats. Their missile is in essence a small drone so no tech transfer should be needed. Obviously, they will...

    MTCR is only relevant for export. There is no restriction on the range for your own developed weapons. Also, Turkey already has missiles which go well beyond 300km stipulated by MTCR.

    What do you think about Ericsson, Nokia and Philips? All of them were global tech leaders of their time but are now a mere shadows. Could this not happen to any of our defence companies based on their own or state decisions? But closer to heart, didn't poor state decisions doom our defence...

    TECHINT The Importance of Intelligence Organizations Providing TECHINT Shields in the Turkish Defence Industry

    You miss the point completely. It is simply irrelevant if Özmen is Turkish or not. SNC is an American company and that is all that matters since they have to follow American laws and as such, must follow whatever decision America takes as they are in no position to take independent decisions. No...

    I really don't know him or care about him but he does not automatically become Feto because he criticizes some projects. It is his right to do so and I don't think it is right to shut down every criticism with the "wolf is coming" argument. However, he does come forwards as an old girlfriend...
