Well good luck. No country with an open border conflict can join NATO and than of course good luck in convincing us to let you join. But I see this is an opportunity to solve the Cyprus problem. We would finally have some leverage of our own.

Not someone to be taken seriously in this context.

Repkon opening factories left and right, I hope they get a guaranteed number of orders per year to justify the investment. On the other hand, how much I wish that our regular industry and companies would have been more risk taking and export & growth oriented, instead of focusing inwards and...

Because TAI and Baykar do compete with each other, and TAI will (rightfully) not give away that space and the potential loyal wingman project away without a fight. If every KAAN gets 1-2 wingman, that would be at least 100-200 pieces and probably 3-4bln € worth of orders.

Food for thought, UKs upcoming / ongoing projects:

NATO must stay resilient and strong for the upcoming 4 years and beyond.

Any Island nation really with undeveloped short and rugged runways imo.

I dont know whats next, but it looks like they got the same editors as Turkish channels for their telenovela teasers.

Makes no sense to me. UAE is actively supporting Somaliland in gaining independence, why would they invest in Somalia proper and why would Somalia accept UAEs investment if they are supporting separatism?

Not sure how coordination works but Delta V and Roketsan (obviously) are state enterprises. I dont like resources to be wasted, so I sure hope that under the hood they cooperate. But from outside it appears to be similar to how Tübitak Sage and Roketsan sometimes developed competing products.

I think with the upcoming government change in Germany, and with most likely the CDU running the show, they will be lifting most if not all restrictions on weapons exports.

I honestly dont know what the endgame here is. We don't gain anything about being the loudest opponent of Israel. We just lose.

They have also raised the KRG flag in Ankara during Barzanis vist if i'm not mistaken.

Its the flag of the KRG after all. Did you expect him to remove the KRG and Iraq flags and pledge allegiance to Turkey? Barzani Junior is very useful to Turkey.

30% of the Turkish economy are assumed to be informal and evade taxes. Compared to i.e. Germany with 10%.

I think the tax evasion is one of the reasons why Simsek is pushing for more card payments, especially the higher the amount. During my last vacation I have received receipts and could use the card terminal everywhere.

Who the hell is behind Repkon? Anyway first the 2 production lines to supply 30% of US shells and now this, great business.

I think I've read before that F35 paint has always be shipped back to the US. That was not a Turkey specific thing.

What are the chances that kit production could also be outsourced to one of the contractors in the Turkish industry?

Not sure what you're going for but plating your room with lead will most likely not be good for your health.
