Well, it is not that easy. Greek lobby, Armenian lobby, most of the Israeli&Jewish lobby, and Indian lobby is against us but it is true that GE has big interests in Turkiye and will defend us. BTW the US asked us to pay depot/storage costs of Turkish F-35s. This tells a lot about the current...

Long-term acquisition of GE engines is a risky business. We should get something like 50-60 engines while we can and as soon as possible. We should stock them. Those will be enough to reach 2030+. The first TFX will be delivered in 2028-2029.

I disagree. An incident with Greece or an operation in Syria is all it takes for the Senate to pass a resolution to stop engine deliveries to Turkiye. GE can't do anything but obey under those circumstances.

Really bad if true. Prepare for sanctions for TFX serial production.

We should also get Russian oil for a good price. We should offer a price above 60$ something like 70$ and call it a day.

I heard that 40+ engines will be bought for the first 20 TFX aircraft.

No. 710 billion cubic meters are proven/announced reserves. Reserves in the Sakarya gas field are bigger than this number. At this point, you can ben %100 sure that the Sakarya gas field has a reserve of over 1 trillion cubic meters and it will be announced as more wells are drilled and more...

BTW TPAO works with DeMac (DeGolyer MacNaughton) company for reserve evaluation studies. IMHO 1 trillion cubic meters of gas is proven at this point(from the first discovery everyone in the TPAO estimated this) and I think there is a good prospect for more discovery.

A famous foreign company did the reestimation studies with the data collected from 13 wells. Earlier studies were done with the data from 3 wells. As TPAO drills new wells more data will become available and further revisions should be expected.

+170 billion cubic meters is not too shabby. IMHO we will achieve 1 trillion cubic meters in 2023.

KSA will invest 3.3 trillion $ all around the world. We don't know how much of this money will make its way to Turkiye.

As the expected nose is slightly shorter but wider and overall bigger to accommodate the big radar antenna and all of the electronics. We can clearly see IRST and EOTS at the top and bottom of the nose. Air inlets are different compared to the mock-up. This is expected as no one shows their real...

Close to 60 billion cubic meters somewhere between 50 and 60.

Not yet. Drilling activities continue at the Taşucu location. It will probably take around 45 to 60 days to finish drilling. After that ship will probably anchor at Mersin Taşucu port for maintenance. Info mostly become available when the ship is in port.

Some sources quote 200-250 billion cubic meters. Anyway, we will find out tomorrow and most of the time Erdo announces conservative numbers not to be embarrassed later. At this point everybody knows Blacksea reserves will hit over 1 trillion cubic meters according to seismic and well data.

This was the last info I heard approx. a month ago. There might be another finding and upward revisions can be expected. There is a huge prospect in the area and it is very likely to find more gas at least as big as the 110 billion discovery at Çaycuma-1. In time Sakarya Gas field will reach...

Turkiye can sell Barbaros shore defense system. It will cover the entire area. Turkiye can also build corvettes and FACs for Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. Turkmenistan bought Turkish corvettes(Dearsan C92) in the past.

It is a different reserve in the Sakarya gas field. The gas is discovered at the Çaycuma 1 location. 110 billion cubic meters of gas is found and there is a big prospect for further discovery in the area.
