Probably he had never heard of these "design review" words in his life.

What you were expecting from Mete Yarar seriously? He appeared after 15 July and made nothing except empty words to lick RTE's ass. He doesn't know a single shit about technology, let alone high-end arms tech. Just like being a good car driver doesn't make you good in car engineering, being a...

It is probably just BS, expected from that Twitter account. But it makes sense for China. What they look like is not something to reverse engineer. They lack experience, and they know it and do everything to have experience. What they got from Varyag was an experience, for example, not a...

The tricky part is that the current BMC is not the same as the BMC before. It belonged to Ethem Sancak, AKA "Sakallı". Look like he looted a good chunk of money, and eventually, he sold BMC to Tosyalı Holding. Given he was kicked out from AKP after making a speech for Russian TV, we can think he...

Testing progresses by stages, not time. This aircraft probably shares many similarities (some subsystems might even be the same) with Hürkuş. The idea was to make a secret first flight before the official one to ensure all are okay during that one. Probably they will have a very intense...

MMU itself is an F16 replacement and export. TuAF historically does not like single-engine fighters. That was the reason all retired generals kept writing about their desire for a twin-engine configuration. Power projection to where and why? The USA can do it because they have a military budget...

So Putin tries another S-400. We bought that crap and got kicked from F-35. If we accept this, Baykar will lose all the credits he built.

Dude, slow down. Making MMU should be a priority for now. All those you wrote had economic problems. 1. We will have MMU for that. 2. Why should the airforce have separate aircraft with single engines? What is specific for that, so do we need one? 3. Again, why? What makes you think that we...

Before F-35, there was X-35 as a technology demonstrator. Then, F-35 developed from that X-35 and had prototypes of its own. We can't compare these as F-35 simply had two different prototype stages. 12+2 might look too much, but we need more than ordinary numbers to reach high flight hours...

They will slowly switch to Korean-made tanks, abandoning German in the future. Seem like they got their lessons from what happened to Turkey regarding German tanks after operations. And how German behaved in Ukraine situation. Also, you need to remember Altay is derived from a Korean tank...

The Turkish defense industry has a very big problem regarding foreign components. They keep providing components during the design and prototype phases. But then refused to sell them when the project reached the mass production phase. This is what happened during Altay Project; even with the...

Rolls-Royce comes with a new engine, which was designed in 18 months. They might offer production under license in TAEC. The timeline Temel Kotil gave might be correct, depending on the perspective. We must remember he is being quite technical sometimes for the general public. The design part of...

Ok, we might not get shit from RR I can understand. But wtf is TRMotor? Why not give it to TEI, which is already developing engines for other platforms?

It depends on your definition of quality.

The problem with Kızılelma is not the specifications. If we can make TF-X, that means we can make a drone with similar specifications; in the end, the drone is a fighter minus a man in it. However, it needs artificial intelligence with near human capability. It will generate so much data from...

That would be shooting to their own leg for the USA. It just put extra law for weapon sales and can affect many other countries, including Greece, since they, too, making airspace violations. Not saying the USA won't be able to sell anything, but it would be a tremendous headache for them when...

I hope you do not think France will sell Rafale to Turkey. Typhoons could be an option, but Germany is part of the EF consortium.

İsmail Demir said it will take time over a year. I am guessing we won't see good news until 2023-2024.

The video showed it as 2721 kg, it also shows that the Korean guy was right about that. She said 3 tons, it is obvious that she rounded 2721 kg to 3 tons. Also, the same video showed wing areas as 24 m2 and 258,3 ft2. It is all between 0.58 to 1.06.

Arresting wires are required for landing, not for take-off. It needs an extreme level of thrust-to-weight ratio to take off from a ski jump. There is another problem with landing. If landing will be done with arresting wires instead of vertical landing there we need an angled deck. Because...
