    I don't know how my post ends up being in Turkish :unsure: , anyway Gebze is nextdoor to Istanbul and is like an extension of the city, so. I am talking about Qatar partnership for 65 nm chips. I would say it should be for a rather small capacity investment but still beyond prototyping. If...

    There is another effort for a fab in Istanbul that is supposed to open earlier but there is no news about it. If Aselsan is working on a DUV machine the opening of the Ankara fab maybe in synch with the availability of the Aselsan machine.

    We don't know the actual reason. It is probably because of supply chain issues rather than the maturing.

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Looking at how rapidly Hürjet is maturing a twin engine version will probably mature just as fast. Kaan is twin engine, pilots should be trained on a twin engine aircraft.

    If exports to Ukraine is in question hi-specs of Kızılelma can be delayed until large number procurement by TurAF comes up as Ukraine needs whatever is available. Also Ukraine models can be provided without Türkiye specific requirements. Same specs may apply for exports to other countries than...

    We already have a minimum of two engine makers. The second one being Kale, and they are already planning to make small jet and turbofan engines for business jets. Do you guys have objection to that. I haven't heard any. Companies want to make engines spending from their own pockets. More and...

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

    Countries want to have more than just one engine developer. USA deliberately picks two engine makers for planes like the F16. Competition is always good when the competitors are willing to compete. And it is fantastic to have a competitor who wants to compete.

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Not just for testing purposes, isn't it already obvious. You want to use the Kaan engine on other platforms too. Instead of using it on a manned fighter it makes sense to use it on a larger unmanned fighter as the future of fighters is likely to be unmanned. Manned fighters would be twin engined...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    TF35000 engine can be flown on a Kızılelma of a suitable size and you don't wait years for the engine to be useful. Once the engine runs reliably for an unmanned plane it can power a single engine unmanned plane provided that the plane is mature enough to carry such an expensive engine. Early...

    That is because a threat somewhere is an ally somewhere else. We have our own stealth, we don't need somebody else's.

    We have Kızılelma and Anka3 coming up in the stealth department. Iran, Syria and even Russia are not hard to deal with. We need weapons to deal with the hard ones and we are making them.

    The number of Starlink satellites has already reached 10240 and they are flying at low altitude above us. They can do D2C communication meaning direct to cellular two way communication. They can tap into your device anywhere in the world and do the worst thing you can expect. So no foreign...

    Seeing tiny pagers and radios exploding and taking lives imagine what F35 can do to us. There is no use to having F35 for us or any other foreign made weapon for that matter.

    I want to make a correction, while the Minister of Telecommunication talks about a first signal there is actually some 5G accessibility in Türkiye which I can tell when I look at signal maps. Turkcell Map Turktelekom Map

    I guess it is because we want to use Turkish made equipment for the infrastructure. I don't know how much of the system can be made locally but I know that there are initiatives to make them.

    Wages do not explain much. Baykar have lots of cash on hand and can experiment a lot. It sounds like Elon Musk style doesn't it, lots of cash and the will to make achievements.
