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

    Alright I’m a little confused now. the original KE clip released by Baykar said that the aircraft completed its first autonomous taxi and pre take off roll. Yet, some sources now say it completed its first automated (even some used the term automatic) taxi tests. Are different sources using...

    Oryx corrected (replied thru twitter to be precise) the so called supply of Sungurs to “to be delivered”. Makes sense now.

    And in an ideal world together with diplomatic corps (known to be “able guys” of any state) which we have been neglecting for the last two decades and almost totally destroyed by nobody else but us unfortunately. That’s why said I’m curious of how TR will handle it without the mentioned tool...

    At this point I’m curious myself how will Turkey steer between, like you said, two brotherly countries. Or will Turkey just say “hey, you can’t make omelette without breaking eggs”? I wish they find a middle ground

    Fuzuli please believe me when I say I’m aware of most of the points (not all of them tbh) you wrote and I got nothing to counter argue them. Also I must admit that it helped me chill out a bit now. But again, any cooperation between any TR government and with such fickle countries that...

    Have been reading and following some sad developments for the last couple days for this UAE deal. First, I strongly recommend you to read Fuzuli NL’s post by Ali Bakir. Very insightful and even foresighted piece that explains what’s happening and why in detail. Secondly, I feel nothing but...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Thats what I’ve been talking about. The Western hypocrisy. i mainly watched the main Western media coverage on the recent Taksim bombing in Istanbul and the main conclusion is that Turkish government will begin hunting Kurds (not exact words) as retaliatory measure as they supposedly did back...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Alright, by “usable loot” I assume you mean a takeover of an enemy territory after a nuclear attack by friendly forces which naturally will be risky for the latter as well due to radiation level. However, if you are suggesting what I think you are suggesting on the last part, let me remind you...

    That’s correct. Every internet source will emphasize its service in Janissary corps, the elite Ottoman guard infantry, however it‘s a little romanticized and Hollywood-ish version since historians would point out that it was also used by both Anatolian and Rumeli regular infantry corps. The...

    Actually this is a yatağan, a unique Ottoman sword form. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/yatagan-sword-ottoman-ad0b79e358f24b96a44fd7cf3b89f71d But you’re not really far off as the Mameluke form goes way beyond to Persian Simshir and was widely used by Ottomans as well in different forms...

    So by presenting this Yatağan to Indonesian dignitary, Mr. Demir might be implying them to cut the - as @Anmdt put it - “paperwork“ and do businesses :p
