They did the right thing. Get the free money and create dependencies with the EU. They can change their policy towards TRNC and officially recognize it a decade later. This also benefits us.

Those two things are not related. Kargı has problems because of disagreements between SSB and Vestel and it doesn't look like those disagreements can be resolved.

Turkiye should produce at least 4 full batteries of Siper per year (1 battery every quarter), including missile load. The demand for air defense systems and missiles is extremely high. We should deploy full layered air defense complexes to our bases in foreign countries starting from...

Gökhan is years away from serial production, but airborne tests with seeker will start in 2026. I expect SSB to release some kind of footage in 2026. 2026 is the big year for Gökhan. I expect LRIP to start by the end of 2027.

I believe monthly defense exports will pass the 1 billion mark this year. Total yearly exports will probably reach 8+ billion.

Interesting... Baykar bought furnaces required for the casting/production of directionally solidified(dx) and single-crystal (sx) turbine blades. My guess is they will start with production of dx turbine blades from Ukranian origin but i don't rule out a possible single-crystal move as the...

Yes those are the specs of the new prototype.

Ottoman Empire officers like Ataturk and Ismet İnönü fought for the Ottoman Empire like most of their careers and sustained injuries; those badmouthing them didn't put in a quarter of the effort Ottoman officer cadres did. If there was any other solution Ottoman officer cadres would have done...

Nope. This is about Turkish terrestrial and satellite networks. Erdogan has big leverage on the owners of those TV channels. He is throwing his weight around, and those channels "voluntarily" choose not to report. They are not forced for anything, but every one of them is smart enough not to do...

CHP is holding a huge rally at the center of Istanbul, and none of the national TV stations are reporting it out of fear of the government. That's Turkish-type democracy for you.

Good political insight which i %100 agree.

I asked around, and this picture was taken after the engine stopped and while it was slowing down. In this picture, there is no combustion inside the combustion chamber. It takes a while for fans and turbines to completely stop and a small amount of thrust is produced.

You are right. I was too preoccupied with the current situation(reading news about the Imamoğlu protests), and I confused newton with lbf.

Red is thrust; green is RPM. Even though this is not a mature engine, it looks good. I expect the TF-6000 to max at 25k RPM. According to a simple calculation, the TF-6000 will generate 6800N @ 25k RPM. TS-1400 showed good gains in the maturing process. Let's see how it will go this time for...

This is not about Islam, sharia law, or whether Turkiye becomes a better or worse place without Erdogan. Turkiye is on its way to becoming a one-man dictatorship. It is not even a single-party dictatorship because in single-party dictatorships, there are various checks and balances inside the...

The government authorized an investigation against 33 concerts in Ankara Metropolitan Municipality for public damage allegations. Lol, fucking muppet show. This is the best they could come up with against Mansur Yavaş. We are practically a dictatorship now in which the dictator can eliminate...

Witness statement ‘’...I have not witnessed any irregularities in a concrete way, but I have some rumours since I am in the sector.‘’ By the way, most of the charges are based on "secret witnesses" the same method as Ergenekon- Balyoz (Sledgehammer) cases. Anyway, I have zero doubt that...

Balyoz-Ergenekon cases reloaded. Watch AKP flooding media with "proofs", "voice recordings", and "videos".

Unfortunately, we are heading in a completely disastrous direction. We are in a dictatorship territory now.

Baykar and TAI will deliver x amount of Kızılelma and Anka III this year to TurAF. Airforce will test and experience the UCAVs and provide feedback.
