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

    Eventually is in the future but not just yet. Complaining about lack of engineers but spreading your efforts over many projects while also duplicating similar efforts like Kızılelma is counterintuitive. TAI has lots of projects at hand which needs to be completed in due time.

    Temel Kotil should not lose his focus and leave duplication projects for after completion of existing projects.

    1 million is not the yearly capacity but the total number of cars to be produced until 2030. Planned capacity for 2030 is at 175k with room to double this number.

    Coil guns may have only been shelved rather than abandoned. See this piece of video by Fraser Cain.

    They also rack the slide back and leave it like that for hours to soften the recoil spring.

    You can go to a shooting range and use your gun and it is advisable as you should practice with your gun to be able to use it well.

    Shotgun maker Ermox comes out with a pistol. Tenth Turkish pistol maker as far as I could count.

    Well, there are few prodcuts that we can compete well one of which is drones. And the defence industry is likely to grow a lot bigger. We are doing our own thing there. If you can focus on science and technology you don't need debt. Another 5 years and we can possibly have taken a big leap; from...

    I would rather have organic growth than growing on debt. Not all countries develop technology. Greece for exemple, nada. Same olive, same feta, same donkey, same Onasis, nothing added. Not to stir a debate but good example. Türkiye has low debt, developed industry, high quality real estates...

    Totally depends on exchange rate which can fluctuate depending on international politics. You shovel a good interest rate to lenders mouth and currency rate stays low and you seem to look good while you can only produce tomatoes and you are in endless debt. Türkiye has low debt and $33k PPP GDP...

    I've found this IMF GDP PPP estimates made on April 11. I scaled them by China on the fourth column and by Türkiye on the fifth column. I see that while Türkiye holds the 11th position now, 8th place is not very far away. I think we may see that in 5 years. 1 China 33,014,998 100.0 924.1...

    Baykar's capabilities stacked up rapidly. Their intial success fueled their confidence to move faster. But they are not the only ones. Predator drone inventor Abraham Karem had told that in their early days they could put a drone togather in just 3 months. Standards at those times were non...

    I don't want the 40 F16, I want the Kızılelma on fast track. And the TF6K engine to come online to power the following supersonic KE and Anka3 and possible others.

    Maybe 2 Kızılelma and 1 Hürjet can do the jon of an F16 I guess. We haven't yet seen their capabilities.

    It is the work toward mass production that is starting. The first Kızılelma to join the air force will probably be ready in a year so. In recent news we know that American companies could make a new manned fighter in less than 3 years. So it is not unexpected to see Kızılelma progress rapidly as...

    TB2 is compact and easier for ground handling while Anka is large and cumbersome for handling which matters for quick turnaround. Also Anka needs a ground radar for landing while TB2 doesn't afaik.
