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

    This is just silly, the only military that has a large advantage over Turkey in the region is Israel, and that was never going to change, since the US's foreign policy in the region is all about making Israel the most powerful country in the area. Who are you referencing by "all our neighbours...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I know that, but it is still interesting, especially the part about Metamaterial being used for 6th generation fighters, I wonder if Turkey is doing any research on the matter. Semiconductors are going to be Turkey's new Engine problem in the future unless Turkey starts to make working on a...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I was messing around and decided to ask a Chatbot about the difference between the UK and France's 6th generation jet and Turkey's 5th jet's capabilities. This is what it gave me. The UK and France are developing 6th-generation fighter jets, known as the Tempest and the FCAS, respectively...

    In 2021 4,000 electric cars were sold in Turkey. Assuming the same number of cars are sold again then that would mean TOGG has managed to get a 35% share of the marketplace with its 1,400. That is extremely good for a company that has only been selling for 3 months. For wondering the number of...

    It isn't clear whether or not they are going to operate the KAAN fighter anytime soon or not, Their entry into the project may be more about creating an off-shore supply chain to offset the cost rather than a sale. As for the risk of advanced Turkish tech getting into the Chinese hand. It Is...

    One of the problems with Turkey was that it is a democratic republic thus the political institutions were always treated as a thing that is used to make money while you are in office. the Chinese system works differently they are not a real democracy like Turkey. The Chinese government sees the...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    No matter what, the KAAN fighter was going to be compromised, as Turkey had no one to sell it to from the very start. The Gulf states are Turkey's region rivals, the Europeans won't buy Turkish fighters no matter what the same for the Western ally Asian countries. That said the may problem...

    The problem is that people's idea of success is to get in good with the government and then use the resource to become wealthy, and if the government of the day doesn't play ball, they will be taken down. Luckily, Erdogan's popularity and long rain have given him enough power to push these...

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    That is because Turkish companies prefer to avoid competing. They just want handouts; in this case, they get them by becoming part of foreign companies supply chains. I think this risk-averse behaviour is a by-product of the developed rent-seeking culture. Currently, 36% of Turkey’s...

    In the short term, it may be bad in the long term it may be good as it is easier to go against Russia as an influence in Africa than France as an institution. I should also mention now that they are breaking away from France their economies should finally get jump-started as French...

    yes, but will this be something that only the US can get or will other countries be able to develop their own quantum technology? or will the ASML monopoly stay?

    Can someone explain how this discovery will help countries like Turkey, India, and China? I know that it will make things cheaper but can it also make it easier to produce chips by needing less advanced tools and equipment? will it break up the ASML monopoly?

    1. my point was that Japan always got to choose when they are going to be in a war or not. 2. the problem with that model is that it wastes resources in inefficient industries.

    Japan started modernizing in 1868 and the Ottomans began reforming in 1839 despite this, Japan had it much easier than the Ottomans. The population of the Ottoman Empire was 27,230,000 in 1831, and the population of Japan was over 30 million at the start of the 1800s and was 34,985,000 in 1873...
