    After seeing the pictures with installed engine, I can see why Baykar start working on the twin engine version. I guess they could fit two of them without much trouble.( At least they might have this conclusion) So two engined version will be with the Ukrainian engine and one engine version will...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    Actually not really. As far as i gathered, they basically jury rigged SU-27 to launch HARM missiles. I believe the SU-27 and HARM is not communicating. They pre-programming the missiles and using tablets to launch it to believed general location of the AA site. HARM's own trackers/radar do the...

    Yes but Hisar is the exception. We are kinda building budget corvettes in the guise of OPVs.

    Army Future Soldier [Weapons - Sensors - Data Fusion - Communication]

    Even if it won't work for combat troops at first, exoskeleton has much potential for logistics and artillery crews. Hopefully it is not a scam and works as advertised.

    Yes they did. This is the best Russian Air Force can do. Considering the latest Russian technology level, probably you have to change so many things on SU57, it would be better to build a plane from scratch than trying to make the plane work. ToT you'd receibe probably be worthless in todays...

    Another year for the Istif. As much as this becames frustrating, it is understandable I guess. I just hope the systems/weapons will be ready by then and the following ship projects will be done much more quickly.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    I am just thinking outloud. Maybe we don't want to stay depended on the Germans for the main battle tanks. In the past we had problems with the spares and if the army expecting this in the future it is logical to spending money to the tank that we can actually use as we want. If this this the...

    Defence Q&A Why there is no F15 / F18 in Turkey ?

    F18 is not necesary when you have F16. It will strain the logistics and increase the maintenance costs for having an aircraft that has more or less same capacity as F16.(I am considering regular hornet.). Also you need to have different pilot pool to operate them. F15 would have make sense...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Yes probably but it is a good jab nevertheless. And contrary the Air Force and Navy, platforms are ready for land forces. We just don't buy them. Yes it will ve expansive but not as expensive as the platforms that the navy and air force should buy. Also considering the reduced logistics and...

    I believe they mentioned that they are working on 127mm gun for TF2000 during the first reveal of 76mm gun.

    To be honest for T70 helicopters it seems that we are waiting for Aselsan. I believe Tusas can easily build the helicopters but we are waiting Aselsan to finish the projects.

    More or less the price is same everywhere. Basic things like chicken and meat is became luxury food. Vegetables are also expensive. I don't even want to mention fruits.

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Yes and Gökbey's payload capacity is much lower than that. In terms of payload capacity Ka27 is on par or better than Seahawk. So can't be used as an example for Gökbey.

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Ka27 has a 12t maximum take off weight in comparison to Gökbey's 6t. It has more maximum take off weight than even Sea Hawk(around 10t and they bot have similar empty weight). Ka27 is actually very good choice in that regard.

    Also he is overly optimistic about everything. I like his attitude and excitement but in the interviews he is oversimplifying every posible problems.(I am guessing he has to do that because of politics. At least I hope so) I am cautious about his timeframes but I am also sure that he is doing...

    There is something odd happening with Mr Aksit and TEI. During the TS1400 first ignition presentation lots of weird things happened and at some point Mr Aksit says someone sabotaging the presentation. (something along this line) He is doing and saying everything to be stay relevant. I guess...

    Don't get me wrong, it is a good achivement but it is a weak argument for now. Akıncı has great successes on it is belt but saying it didn't have any accident shadows them imo.
