    Well to be honest saying it is never had an accident is bit of a strecth in marketing point. Only 6 of them delivered so far.

    Altough imo Mi-17 is a very good helicopter, NH-90 is a very low bar to pass. Any helicopter that have the ability to regularly fly will be better than NH-90.

    Good luck trying to pass that border with tanks. You know that border is surrounded with mountains right? Any fight in land border will end up costly for both sides and most likely ends up in a stalemate. You are trying too hard to make Kanal look like a sensible project. It isn't.

    I am actually impressed by the survivability of Ka-52. Yes they lost a lot but to be honest helicopters are very easy targets for enemy fire and usually get hit a lot. In Ka52's case we see lots of shot down choopers land mostly intact and crews probably survived the landing. Thats not the case...

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

    I don't think developing a passenger jet is worth to trouble. Creating a worldwide logistic supply chain for spare parts to keep the aircrafts flying is difficult and porbably too costly. Like Bombardier CSeries. Imo they created the perfect aircraft for its class but they realized they don't...

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

    If I have to guess, that would be because business jets are highly customizable. You can use them in many different configurations. Just add different electronic/radar/intellegence suits and use them as you wish. You can also use them as testbeds as well. It also may grant revenue on the side...

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Different classes really. More like UH-1 or Lynx competitor. T925 will be the equilevant of SeaHawk in terms of capacity and potential.(and that is the reason that I think T925 is much more important than T929)

    TR Turkish Air Forces|News & Discussion

    We could be trying to use two seperate weapons with our F16's. American weapons with the US upgraded aircraft and our weapons with the Özgür upgraded aircraft. This way we could minimize the risk with using our own weapons and we don't have to be pressured to produce weapons quickly.(especially...

    It is cheaper to maintain and operate than Fırtına.( It is a tracked vehicle vs wheeled vehicle thing. It is not specific to Fırtına) We allready have the guns, puting them on trucks to increase mobility is the logical step.

    These drones looks like Kerbal Space Program designs.

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    USA is oddly quiet about our AA missiles. We are literally tricking F16's(wich means we don't have a license. At least for some blocks) to fire our missiles and we are very public about it. I am expecting something from US once the missiles goes to serial production. I hope we are doing...

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

    It depends on the demand I guess. You want to keep production line open as long as possible but you also want to attract customers. If you increase the production rate you might finish your orders early and left out of job but if you decrease the production rate you might lose customers due to...

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

    I am really wondering how will our fighter aircraft force structre will look in the future. So our fleet planing revolved around uisng F35 and MMU as high-lo structre. Because of F35(both we are out of the project and F35 turned out to be expansive aircraft to maintain and operate) that failed...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I am confused. Do we have a deal with RR or not? If we do, what is the expectation for this visit? If we don't, why there were news that saying we have? There happen to be a lot of contradictions with the news lately. I am little worried about that.(in general, not for the TFX alone)

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

    Well that was one of the points of TB2. You can easily use them for high risk high reward operations. You won't mind if you lose couple of TB2 if the operation succeeds and even if the operation fails it is still much better than losing expensive equipment and manpower.

    TR Army Roketsan Karaok to enter Turkish army inventory this year

    Well that seems to be basic workplace health and safety law. You can't put untested anti-tank missile to someones shoulder and hope for the best. Testing from stationary platforms are understandable but it would be great if they publish videos for shoulder launch versions. (Both sungur and atgms)

    These are actually very solid and reliable guns.(maybe more so than todays guns) They are very heavy so it is no good for mobile units but as stationary usage they are still very good. (if you can find the ammo off course)
