Full Bloomberg article: ASML, Europe’s Most Valuable Tech Firm, Is at the Heart of the US-China Chip War The low-profile firm has become crucial to a half-trillion-dollar global industry. US President Joe Biden holds a semiconductor before signing an executive order at the White House in...

There‘re many obstacles IMO to steal this kind of tech. It‘s not a technology that anyone can simply reverse engineer with stolen blueprints. Guestimates are that in a decade or so, the Chinese will master EUV lithography finally. Would like to recommend this very insighful Bloomberg piece about...

Yes, SMIC tweaked existing DUV litho machinery (ASML, Nikon or Canon) and tools for a 7nm process in low volume production and with high yield loss on the wafers. Practically copying older TSMC 7nm node process for simpler designed Bitcoin Miner SoC. Just highly unprofitable but a way to further...

Ah ok, I‘m on my smartphone right now, will try it later on my desktop ;)

Have you any direct link for that document? Did you Google translate it or do you speak Malay or Indonesian? Can‘t auto-translate it from JPEG. Thanks in advance.

Using simultanously Russian, French, US, Korean, Brazilian and British fighter aircraft platforms is insane. Often each model in miniscule numbers like a dozen. Operational readiness goes down the drain, regular maintenance becomes a pain in the ass. KA-1 or KT-1 just like FA-50 and T-50 are...

Lately Indonesia also bought 12 Mirage 2000 from Qatar. Erratic procurement plans: Flankers, Rafales, Mirage 2000, F-16, T-50i, Hawks, Super Tucanos. Their air force is a nightmarish hodgepodge for mechanics. Guess Korea will never see full payment and Indonesia will never get a prototype or...

Speaking of a not so well going cooperation … Indonesia yet to notify Korea of payment plan for joint fighter program Jakarta has settled only about a quarter of scheduled payments while signing separate deals to buy fighter jets with France, Qatar The KF-21 prototype #6's first flight on...

I don‘t get the fuzz about Kpop boy groups either. But calling them out as gay sissies is insulting. Their schedules as idol trainees are packed and tough. They serve their country and do military service. And surprise surprise, the average Korean guy in the streets doesn‘t look like dieting...

You nailed it @Yasar Exactly what I meant with my post. Why not join forces and create win-win-solutions in times of dwindling R&D budgets? Many development projects besides aerospace aren‘t with US involvement like L-SAM air defense, AESA radars, missile and submarine tech etc. There‘s great...

Chinese banned Kpop as a retribution against THAAD deployment in Korea. They still stream illegally Korean dramas, music and TV shows and have the biggest fan base. Their pop industry 1:1 replicate the Kpop industry, so they have their own boy groups, LOL Superiority? You‘re the one here...

That doesn‘t mean they can‘t cooperate, when both countries work on similar projects to cut time and budget.

You should enhance your reading comprehension. Nothing I wrote was against Türkiye but against a small minded, prejudiced fellow lik you.

Banning influence like Kpop in Türkiye based on your personal taste? Good luck with that, the youth doesn‘t ask for your permission. Never talked bad about Turkish armed forces but laugh at big mouthed guys like you talking smack about Kpop stars.

Typical exaggerated Youtube/Tik Tok bullshit. The „celebrity unit“ was dissolved 10 years ago due to preferential treatment for some „ pop stars“. The unit was founded to protect celebrities from harassment and hazing in regular military units. All these wild specualtions how much money BTS...

Many of these Kpop boy group guys do their mandatory military service in special forces and ROK Marine Corps due to their physical fitness. They‘ll probably rip your standard masculine dad bod bellies apart in knife fight training ha ha ha

South Korea's defense industry concentrate it's interests on European NATO members, especially Eastern European nations like Poland. In the backdrop of the Ukrainian-Russian war these re-arming, modernizing countries offer the best defense market opportunities nowadays. Korea wouldn't trade...

Not sure if it was desperation or more a way to get the 1+ billion $ back for Turkish F-35s. A gap maybe if Ozgur upgrades for F-16 Block 30/40/50 would fail or deemed insufficient. Murad AESA radar is still not fully tested and installed afaik. Older F-16s without modern AESA radar and BVR...

Would it really make sense? I think chances are from pretty low to zero. Türkiye clearly has chosen an independent path with TFX Kaan, Hürjet and Kizilelma. They would fill a possible fighter gap with other means than acquiring brand new KF-21 which could be restricted by US and UK. From a...

Love the Abramski nickname. Who had thought, that one fine day so many US and SK weapon systems would fly and cruise in Polish airspace and on the ground. Abrams and K2, HIMARS and Chunmoo MLRS, FA-50 and F-16 side by side protecting Polish territory.
