China can produce thousands of these. There should also be a heavier 50-55 tonne class version with a 120mm cannon. While we are losing time with the 70-tonne Altay, China comes up with mass producible next-generation tanks.

Another high treason from the AKP government.

The economy is bad, and it will be even worse. No amount of fake numbers can save the Turkish economy. Turkey ranked first among OECD countries in terms of food inflation. Unless you solve food inflation, inflation is there to stay. Instead of fixing this, the government tries to fake numbers by...

I did some digging about MSB ARGE and came to the conclusion that they want to be the R&D center of ASFAT. As you know, all military factories and shipyards came under the ASFAT company. ASFAT is owned by MOD, MSB ARGE is also owned by MOD and wants to be advanced R&D center of that structure so...

ASW and ASuW are complicated operations. The Navy will deploy USVs, UUVs, UAVs, sonobuoys and manned patrol aircraft with anti-submarine capabilities so a manned asset armed with a 100km torpedo is not dependent solely on its own sonar and can still use a long range torpedo with the data...

Yes. Erdo will get a third(or more) term. The PKK will get autonomy. Political prisoners of the CHP will be released, and Özgür Özel will stay as the president of the CHP. The state is rotten to the core. All of the personal data of all of the Turkish citizens is stolen from e-devlet (the state...

SEYMEN GPS/GNSS Jammer.

Not for long. They have a debt problem. For now, it is manageable, but they are on the verge of a population crisis, so I doubt that debt can be managed forever.

There is a mafia-style structure in the Turkish Defense Industry. Unfortunately, Assan is their target. First, they fired Gürcan Okumuş from Tübitak SAGE, now they are trying to destroy Assan. Assan adopted a strategy of growing with exports instead of the Turkish market because Assan knows this...

TEI continues testing TF-6000. The test crew gradually increases the working envelope of the engine. I expect it to produce at least %15 more dry thrust compared to a similar Ukrainian engine (Al-222/322) when tested at full rpm due to technological differences between the two. TF-6000 might see...

Do you read posts? Someone mentioned lifecycle costs. It doesn't matter be it's flyaway cost, lifecycle cost, or manufacturing cost; whatever you want to compare doesn't change the fact that you can't buy, manufacture, or maintain 10 Kızılelmas for the price of 1 manned fighter.

You just can't accept your idol is outright lying; there is no debate here. We don't debate whether the Earth is round or flat. You can believe whatever you want. The Earth is round, independent of what you believe, and I'm not here to change your mind. I'm here to write a note to correct...

Akıncı costs 25-30 million for the TAF, and it is without systems like MURAD AESA radar. Baykar says they are not making a lot of profit from sales to the TAF, so it has to be close to the manufacturing cost. That is why the Turkish Armed Forces don't have hundreds of Akıncı in the inventory...

Cost to manufacture, lifecycle cost, whatever you name it. You can't buy or manufacture 10 Kızılelma drones for the cost of 1 manned fighter. You can't even buy 5. He is selling snake oil. You buy 10 Kızılelma, you need 10 hangars, 10 ground crew teams. You need to expand the infrastructure to...

No, I don't need to prove anything. The burden of proof falls to whoever makes a claim. He is claiming something logically impossible, so he needs to show proof, not me. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You guys are all emotional because, over time, he created something like...

20 million dollars is impossible for the current Kızılelma, let alone an improved Kızılelma that can offer similar capability compared to a manned fighter. TB2 goes for 5 million for god's sake.

He is outright lying.

Unmanned fighters that are on par with today's modern manned fighters won't be a magnitude cheaper compared to manned fighters. This is selling snake oil. A Kızılelma with a 20000 lbs engine, AESA radar, EOTS, DAS, improved production quality, stealth coating and supersonic flight capability...

Selçuk Bayraktar lost me when he said you can buy 20 Kızılelmas instead of 1 F-16 with the same money. Even if we factor total life cycle costs it is impossible. IMHO he doesn't need to talk bullshit.
