    Turkey has gotten past that stage and now admired by our expats due to superb governance and brilliant results seen everywhere.

    Possibly a sabotage under the disguise of a drunken failure.

    It would be fantastic to have a good info-graphics that shows where each potential element of our future air defense system functions. I guess nobody has the full picture yet (?)

    An İstif Class escort would be a better fit than an Ada Class.

    FYI: Gurbetçi means expats (expatriate), particularly Turkish expats in Europe.

    Probably not just yet. They have a new leadership and probably a bigger vision now. Turkey needs a fast CIWS beside Korkut and Gökdeniz and the gun is the bigger part of the project. Adding Aselsan into the mix down the road shouldn't be an insult to Aselsan, after all they are both public...

    They should of course give their best but if it is ground based they can as well employ multiple units to target the same target and double or triple the firing rate if they hit a bottleneck in packing all the power in one unit.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I think the Hürkuş project was also a learning project for TAI. An easy piece of project that they can experiment with rather than deliver quickly. I had once met the person heading the project on an occasion. He said that they developed an airfoil from scratch for the wings and that the F35 had...

    I lost my ID card today and found it back in an hour. I had placed it in my pocket carelessly because I didn't get to wash my hands after a leak job for a test at a clinic. I suspected that I dropped it on the street and went back looking for it in half an hour. I looked and looked and came by...

    Being acceptably capable in a multitude of industries can get a country over the middle income level I believe. We are targeting to be in the top 10 largest economies list which means we need to be in the high income nations league to achieve it with our 85mn population and some hinterland.

    It totally depends on your motives; if you feel the impulse to step into and move up in an industry you can possibly move up the ranks an get somewhere respectable in a reasonable time-frame. In Turkey's case we need to increase self reliance level in many industries simultaneously as we want to...

    Naturally we were expecting ramjets for later and not just yet. It would be too good to be true if they are announcing/teasing it so soon. Perhaps the pace of development can be sped up when wise steps are taken and we can really expect ramjets soon, who knows.

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    The kind of use totally depends on what the enemy can do to counter your action. If the under-armed enemy can not detect your heat then you can very well use a propelled munition like in the case of the US in Afganistan. There maybe opportunuties for the Turkish military to use a glide-able...

    MAM-L is a drop bomb and it only glides without propulsion. I wonder what kind of range L-UMTAS can give from altitude as it is propelled.

    There is this news in Turkish saying that engines that are to be used in oil and gas pipelines have been developed. "Petrol ve gaz boru hatlarında kullanılan motorların yerlileri geliştirildi." Can anyone shed more light on this? As far as I know these kind of engines are turbines.

    Space conditions require hardy chips against cosmic radiation, so they will have to do more with less compute power. But when you want to use AI on the fly you want it quick to employ more brains before taking action. There are trade-offs between reliability and quick response power and both has...

    TUA chief Serdar Hüseyin Yıldırım suggest the name Fezagir for the Turkish astronaut which is not too bad but I have got a better one. He said he heard thousands of names but not a brilliant one just yet.

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    It is an international project with US engine and some other country's airframe and also that airframe is indigenous to that other country. International only means involving more than one country and does not necessarily mean the product is made for more than one country.
