I have never been there, but we have 400.000 police and if the police by population ratio is similar they should have 1.5 million in police service.
EDIT: I don't see an up to date number for police officers but a reported 2021 number shows like 287.000. If you add the numbers for Gendarmerie...
Canik is to supply pistols and optics to the Indonesian police.

That was quick, congratulations to the company.
But we haven't even seen a flight demonstration first. Anyway, it is even better having made early sales.
It would be fantastic if the TF6000 does well right off the bat, but it does not matter if it does not; we will make it perfect a little later than sooner.
TS1400 had gone through 8 rebuilding iterations AFAIK, that's why the TF6000 being the first prototype has many more iterations to go through. However, with experience gained from previous design work, the steps may be progressed somewhat faster.
I think the Fırtına engines can be ready earlier, there is no official date I know of for the engine, but it has been at advanced stages already. So there must be a point why BMC is in the tender. Besides that, perhaps a hybrid solution can be offered too.
Türkiye has enough power to distribute rather than concentrate. It is not that we can not afford in any way. You need to seize the opportunities. Every step must be taken at the most opportune time, and that time is today.
Türkiye should foster innovation and build capabilities even faster now. We should get past making traditional systems and start pushing the envelope. It could help if we had some hydrocarbons to fuel our building strenght.
