I will be excited once we have our own.

Politics go hand in hand with technology acquisition. For the Altay if we had gone for development of a domestic engine early on we would have shown our hand meaning we opted to go full independent with the tank. This would have consequences. With the domestic fighter engines the fully domestic...

Chinese drama have a large fanfare around the world. You can post your Chinese drama picks and share information here. I had watched the title "The longest day in Chang'an" a while ago. Historical drama: The whole 40+ episodes happen in one day, preventing a terrorist attack on the city. Now I...

A clean and easy to manage nuclear power can even be used in space propulsion. This can give us the much needed power to up our game in navy propulsion which is the only missing element in our endeavors. A 20-30 MW power source can power 10-15 thousand homes (2kW per home but with more efficient...

I am so happy that our folks are undertaking such novel technology initiatives. But I would rather put the exoskeleton legs inside rather than outside.

What do you mean militarized, is it wielding a pistol or an assault rifle, wearing armor and all? I guess militarized only means it can continue lubricating the necessary parts while also turning a somersault.

Police! Freeze! You have the right to remain silent.

I don't think a Turkish company or any other company can sell Turkey anything at premium prices anymore. But the true deserved prices need to be evaluated by professionals not by the common man. Also making a big gap between domestic sales and the international market is not viable. Turkey has a...

Only a careful analysis can reveal the true value of Akıncı after it shows its true range of capabilities in the field.

I don't think that there is a blanket IP rights ownership in everything SSB orders. The prize of a product is determined based on a multitude of variables mainly determined by the effectiveness of the system and the cost of alternatives. It will definitely cost less for Turkey but not any less...

And your calculation is based on what?

The cost also depends on the number sold. MQ-9 Guardian is sold in smaller numbers (?) whereas Akıncı can be sold in higher numbers as it is not as strategic at this stage. Also the number and effectiveness of the systems on board multiply the value and can not directly be compared with others...

I would judge the plane by the pound as they make every pound count. Fully equipped and armed top model should be no less then $35mn per plane not including peripherals.

Nuclear weapons don't have to be big, they can be made smaller to take out a small town or a place like a large airport or an industry zone. Being smaller they can now be used more frequently if the enemy will not be able to respond with nukes or with a similar capacity assault.

Do they come with no strings attached or do they come at all.

US would give the F35 to Turkey dirt cheap if they could as it is a Trojan horse which would defeat Turkey from inside. One US general once said "We desperately need to give the F35 to Turkey".

Talking about hooks mean it is classical runway landing as the hooks are used to stop the planes horizontal movement. If they want a real vertical landing plane somewhat smaller than the Hürjet they can take my suggestion to use the TS1400 together with a small turbofan like the TF6000 to make a...

TS1400 has radial compressors which are not suitable for thrust generating engines. However different configurations were to be studied in the development process one of which may be suitable for turbofan development. The next time industry officials talk then we ask.
