    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    He nor anyone else had any limit as prime minister as it was not a legal requirement. That was just internal AKP tüzük, i.e. not worth the paper it was written on since akp could change it themselves.

    TR Sensors and Detector Programs

    Others have pointed out the dynamic range of larger sensor size but the limited transmission rate at 150/300km distance probably has an influence on the sensor size. This will probably improve when we have a few thousand sats in low-earth-orbit. This is a work in planning right now.

    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    As you may know, there is an old legal requirements in Turkey that all party politics on mayor news platform to stop the day before electtion. Hence, twitter being a big "news" platform must also comply with local laws. Similar laws exist in a lot of countries to allow people to vote freely...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    This one is flying close to Turkish borders, not Russian. Also, having high resolution images of the missile, the rocket engine plume to calculate power and the launch is not the same as having radar coverage, i.e. a dot on a screen over part of the ballistic trajectory. That said, it is...

    There already more than enough bullets to kill every human. There is already more than enough nukes to kill every human. There is already more than enough knives to kill every human. The list goes on and on so you get the point. It is not possible to make swarms of drones illegal as that would...

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

    Anka 3 is the development project name, not a product name. Tusas is obviously free to choose Anka-3 as the product name, but their history indicates that they will select another name for the final production-ready drone.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think you are mixing the insane unit feet with meter. I have no understanding of why Turks are using this insane unit. This is about 20km, space starts at 100km.

    TR Space Space Programs

    I don't think they got the space technology yet but intend to develop sats for various applications. They will probably need several revisions. Keep in mind even universities develop small sats. Their missile is in essence a small drone so no tech transfer should be needed. Obviously, they will...

    MTCR is only relevant for export. There is no restriction on the range for your own developed weapons. Also, Turkey already has missiles which go well beyond 300km stipulated by MTCR.

    What do you think about Ericsson, Nokia and Philips? All of them were global tech leaders of their time but are now a mere shadows. Could this not happen to any of our defence companies based on their own or state decisions? But closer to heart, didn't poor state decisions doom our defence...

    TECHINT The Importance of Intelligence Organizations Providing TECHINT Shields in the Turkish Defence Industry

    You miss the point completely. It is simply irrelevant if Özmen is Turkish or not. SNC is an American company and that is all that matters since they have to follow American laws and as such, must follow whatever decision America takes as they are in no position to take independent decisions. No...

    I really don't know him or care about him but he does not automatically become Feto because he criticizes some projects. It is his right to do so and I don't think it is right to shut down every criticism with the "wolf is coming" argument. However, he does come forwards as an old girlfriend...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Think Genghis Khan for historical connection. Others have translated Khan/Kaan but the full name translates to brave/strong/unbeatable leader/Emporer/ruler in Turkish. Both Cengiz and Kaan are very common names in Turkey, although the combined Cengiz Kaan is unusual.

    Honestly, most of these claims are childish. He seems to lack strategic thinking on a lot of levels. 1. A tax exemption that applies to anyone who does an investment, is not a financial support of a company. It is simply the law applying to anyone. Also, Tusas having idle production capacity...

    I don't know and don't really care as long as we have an up-to-date defence instead of trailing the world for another century due to irrational politics aimed at dividing the country. But if you are that interested then you can always apply for one of the open positions at Fergani or Baykar or...

    He did not invent 7th gen fighter jet yet but he is LITERALLY inventing 6th gen air-force in front of your eyes right now. What do you think Fergani Space Technologies is aimed at? Some internet connection for some poor kids in Africa or real-time control over his 5th gen drones? When this is...
