If I were to give my opinion, if a country puts its money and bears the cost and risk of a variant and capacity expansion of a platform on which they are already making money for the partner countries in question, it is not pragmatic to be against it, and it would only be the product of...

Just thinking out loud: If the purchase of EF for the air force is finalized, can we become an industrial participant of this aircraft by undertaking the development cost of the STOBAR variant of EF, which has been prepared for several tenders before but has not received an order and therefore...

The design and classification of the ship, the building of the hull and superstructure blocks, all the systems, the installations, equiping, (except for the ship propulsion systems) and all weapon systems and the air platforms it will carry will be the product of domestic companies and...

I think KAI's development of a single-seat variant for the FA-50 is also ongoing, not canceled. Of course, I'm not sure how reliable the internet sources are, my assurance is wikipedia (lol). Still, there is no reason why they shouldn't continue, they can further improve the range and payload...

The questions that are usually asked are the difficulty of acquiring the catapult system, its high cost, the fact that it increases the cost of shipbuilding, and the expert workforce, know-how and time required to develop it if it is a domestic solution. However, if we assume that we will not...

Ultimately, it is an organization's coat of arms, not a state flag, and will continue to change over the years. What is important is that the Union is beginning to lay out a comprehensive integration roadmap and started to walk on that - economically, lawly, politically and culturally. I used...

The Bishkek Declaration adopted by the Heads of State at the 11th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States held on 6 November 2024 is avaliable at the below link: https://www.turkicstates.org/assets/pdf/haberler/bishkek-declaration-3476-291.pdf There are very important agreements in the...

IMO, Fly BVLOS's VTOL capable fixed wing UAV was a very good approach for naval platforms, and the platform could be further developed and expanded with the support of SANs if navy consider it. I also wish that Kemankeş, which rocket-assisted take-off is being currently testing, had a...

Except for some conceptual demonstrations (one of which have created serious debates in the past as to how feasible is) and some classes that the former head of the institution mentioned but we have not even seen concepts of them, so we cannot count them. So we have 3 programs that are concrete...

I definitely agree, there could be an obvious clue about the missile's apogee zone. Or from which platform it will be launched. I think most of the confusion is because we can't scale it. Although, at this stage, the comments are just speculative, it is a missile that is kept very well...

TAI shared this poster on social media with the following note: "We proudly delivered Turkiye's first indigenous and national helicopter, the T625 GÖKBEY, to the Gendarmerie General Command. Displaying outstanding success in critical missions such as air ambulance, search and rescue and...

After the change in the TF-2000 weapon configuration, I was hoping that guided missiles could be launched with a vertical launch system in the TTHB project too, and perhaps the Hisar-D could be integrated into these corvettes in this way. But as expected, the canister launcher was not abandoned.

ASSAN continues to do great things. They have started to play a role in a very important production area for Azerbaijan, and perhaps in the near future for the African and Central Asian Turkic states to become more independent from Russian military logistics. ASSAN is now capable of producing...

How many countries in the world, other than China and the United States, have so many simultaneous aviation engine programs?

++ Additionally, a turboprop is planned over the TS1400, and an afterburner variant for the TF-6000.

When I see these types of posts, the meme ban on formal threads puts me in a very difficult situation, I might get banned one day. :) All joking aside, it's definitely MRBM.

Emergency medical intervention and ambulance variant for the Ministry of Health, traffic control and air observation variant for the Ministry of Interior, Search and rescue variant for the Coast Guard, I don't know, maybe fire intervention variant, VIP transport, almost 7-8 configurations can be...

I can't decide whether you are making fun of me or you serious. Even if TAI reaches the targeted production rate of 4 T625 helicopters per month, we will only be able to replace the old UH-1 and its derivatives in 5 years (recently, another one of these helicopters crashed and we lost our...

It would have been a mistake not to produce an AW159 equivalent helicopter at home when the Navy's need for helicopters was so acute and the production line for the T-625 was already set up. An AW159 equivalent helicopter may not provide maximum capability, but it can fill the urgent gap until...

It is possible for heavy aircrafts with a wing area of less than 13-14 meters to land on roads in many region of Turkiye, but especially in the inner western Anatolia. I don't want to give details here, but this is something that is already taken into consideration in the projects of the...
