Yes, that is true. Those companies sell us our own gold at international market price. This is also one of the privileges of Canadian companies, not ours. They pay %4.81 of the gold as an extraction fee but get it back through subsidies and tax cuts.

This means serious delay. He cited logistic chain problems. It seems we have an embargo problem. End of 2025 is basically 2026 there is no way to complete all the tests (kinematic tests, combat system tests like BURFIS, TOYGUN, KARAT etc, weapon integration and weapon tests) in 3 years to...

Typical American values? It looks like Marxist utopia values to me.

Really bad for us. Canadian companies pay %4.81 of the gold.

Polls show good results for whoever finances it. That is why when I try to get a picture of Turkish elections I use multiple polls from different companies and consider the polling company's track records.

Meanwhile Canada either owns, operates, or co-owns nearly all gold mines in Turkiye. 🤷‍♂️

Trump has donators and backers. Those guys pushed Vance as the VP. Trump wasn't on good terms with Vance. Even a monkey will win against Biden or Harris. Trump is not needed. It is like hitting 2 birds with a single stone. Vance will become the candidate and you can blame Democrats for the...

TAI is trying hard to conduct the first test flight of the second KAAN prototype by the end of 2024. The second prototype won't have combat systems at the first flight of the second prototype but those systems will be integrated as the tests continue. Combat system integration will be completed...

IMHO failed assassination might be related to a clique inside the Republican Party. I guess they wanted to eliminate Trump and push VP candidate Vance up. It seems the Democrat candidate will lose no matter who the Republicans nominate. Vance is a shady figure.

I have no concrete written source. This is what people told me when i spoke to people in the past. The number might not be exactly 624mm (it is what i remember) but i doubt it is anything higher than say 670-680mm because when i saw the engine mockup up close it was smaller than F-404(I have...

What is the fan diameter of TF-6000? I'm not talking about 3 dimensions which include auxiliary systems like oil tanks, gears, etc. As far as i know TF-6000 has a fan diameter of 624mm. For comparison, F-404 has a fan diameter of 890mm.

Why didn't the Secret Service secure the nearby rooftops before the rally? It is a basic procedure for such rallies.

Nope. It is related to the helicopter capture and transfer system.

There are no embargoes but there are delaying tactics for example when the Turkish side asks for something to change a week becomes a month. There are many German subsystems and components and they are being heavily tested. German side is taking really easy when it comes to make necessary...

According to President Erdoğan Germans are blocking machinery (probably related to propulsion) for Turkish frigates, turbines for the Akkuyu nuclear plant, and the Eurofighter deal. Germans are also slowing down the Reis class submarine project.

It doesn't matter we won't get any F-35 apart from the F-35s waiting in the hangar before 2028-2029. I don't think Biden can do anything about F-35. It will be Trump's decision and I think Trump will use it as leverage. I don't think we should buy more than 40 F-35As. Instead of 40 new F-16Vs...

We are lacking nowhere it takes time. Let's assume TAI needs to do 100 tests and EASA can only send experts for 2 tests per month. It will take 50 months.

We can produce and sell a lot of 76mm guns for our use and for export purposes. How many 127mm guns do we need? Not many. Investing a lot of resources in a 127mm gun project seems like a waste.

The initial Turkish plan was to acquire an immediate 100 F-35 and 140+ Kaan in the long term (hi-lo mix). F-35 deal fell through and now 100 Kaan is an immediate requirement that is why TAI is trying to deliver the first Kaan in late 2028.

He talks about immediate needs. Turkiye plans to acquire 240+ Kaans.
