How come he has veto power there?

After this, the UK would think more than twice before having a joint military program with Germany.

Reverse engineering is not a thing anymore as things got complicated. Also, this drone was designed to be dispensable. Baykar would surely be thought about it, along with the Turkish MoD, what to happen when shot down and designed it accordingly. Also, funny that they made news like they...

Even 7000km should be acceptable compared to no tank, which is 0 km. I think using it for now in the first batch and then upgrading it with a newer version or BMC transmission (if it ever comes out) would be a reasonable choice. It is going to be a little more expensive but much better than...

The engine is not the biggest headache, it is transmission.

I find claims that Otokar would make hundreds of Altay by now absurd. Yes, BMC shouldn't be awarded this contract, but let's be honest, Germany put this embargo on Turkey, not on BMC. They didn't do it to protest against us for giving the contract to BMC instead of Otokar. They did it for our...

TB-2 is product of Baykar Makina and Kirpi is product of BMC. Baykar is a pure arms company, and BMC is not purely but mostly an arms company. Kargı, on the other hand, is a product of Lentatek. Lentatek is simply a Vestel subsidiary. Unlike other companies, Vestel has a shit load of civil...

Romania is not more prosperous or more developed than Poland. But we don't know the exact details. It is the money they asked from their parliament, not necessarily the price of drones. Also, each sale contains a different amount of ammo, tech support, spare parts, etc. Some use different...

Yeah, both of them have wings and fuselage.

This video is an old video I shared before, this one is a video the same guy published later. Oğuz Ergin works closely with many of those defense companies. Also, his graduates are working in defense companies. My messages here are mostly related to him. Technically he has solid info from...

Maybe we should ask Peter Wennink the same question, how did he lure our engineers to their company? Let's ask everyone except TUSAŞ. It was TUSAŞ itself that filled the company with someone's nephews. It was their workplaces that caused all these engineers to go away. It was administrations in...

Bayraktar Mini entered service in 2007, 9 years before that marriage. This thing is still in use. Bayraktar TB-2 maiden flight in 2014 and entered service the same year. It was two years before marriage. If you believe they had flirted for nine years, you don't know Erdoğan's worldview. As I...

So that shit is really noisy.

To understand the issues related to TUSAŞ vs. Baykar, you must watch this video. TUSAŞ being a state-owned company, has some problems within. Look at the Hürkuş, for example; how many years have passed since that thing made its first flight? They don't even bother saying the exact reasons for...

TBH, it was TB-2 itself that made its own advertisement. Karabağ first, then Ukraine. They fucking made a song about it.

They don't have enough employees, that is the point. Temel Kotil is always saying how desperate they are to find more employees all the time. They also consume government money to run these projects meanwhile, Baykar can make R&D with its 1B$ income.

I think TUSAŞ can forget TİSU altogether. They have many projects to finalize, and I think they must prioritize their existing projects. For drones, for God's sake, we have Baykar; let them do what they are best. Almost everybody with engineering capability tries to make drones; since big-size...

Is this normal? Or is it that we don't have that tech yet?

Is there any chance these guys made mods for their aircraft in games like DCS? It might get them a lot of attention, and we might have a chance to fly them, even if only on pc. What is the final decision about the engine? Does RR-TAEC involvement officially end? What radar is MMU going to use...

Their deceased fathers were visiting soldiers in prison during the Ergenekon trials. I don't think they worry about AKP losing. Even hardcore AKP opponents are silent at worst. They have quite a support from defense analysts, most of whom are opposed to AKP. Also, still respectable retired...
