Another news is the discovery of 8 billion tonnes of shale rock in the Konya-Ereğli and Nigde-Bor areas. Probably no one ever heard of this. It is estimated that the shale reserve is around 2.6 billion barrels to 8.3 billion barrels. Of course, we can't extract/recover every drop of this oil...

Bad location to drill. Low chance to find meaningful reserve. The previous drilling location was also bad but interestingly crew encountered a trace amount of gas so TPAO decided to conduct seismic studies around the drilling location. The big red dot is the previous drilling location. IMHO...

Probably. I expect some announcement on 7 December as SSIK is planned for that day.

Again like the oil found in Adana/Çukurova this news is true but don't expect this reserve to magically halve the price of the fuel in TR. Those reserves are very small on a global scale. An optimistic estimate of 20k barrels per day is nothing. It translates to a yearly production of 7.2...

I disagree I think Russia should join Turkiye as Turkiye is the stronger country other than nukes.

"At least 30". I know that Baykar wants to gradually increase production capacity and the end target is to hit 46 TB2s per month. That is roughly 550 TB2s. Now having the capacity doesn't necessarily mean the company will produce at full capacity all the time. The monthly production capacity...

As of June 2022, there are 466105 Syrians who can vote in the next elections. Note that citizenship giveaways to Syrians increased a lot in 2022 and we can expect 1 million Syrian voters in the next elections. This is Syrians alone, there are a sizeable amount of voters from other nationalities...

Currently, that missile is not on sale and I don't expect it to be soon. Turkiye doesn't sell some of its defense products. SSB president only mentioned it once or twice.

I'm not an expert on this but probably delivery there might also be some upfront payment maybe.

Yes. If you want the complete package with a 5 year guarantee :) this seems to be the new price. Of course allies likes Azerbaijan will get different deals.

Baykar will produce 500 TB2 and 40+ Akıncı next year as stated by the CEO of the company. TB2s alone are worth a lot. TB2 has a flyaway export price of 5+ million. A package with mobile and fixed ground stations, signal relays, training, and maintenance&test equipment costs a lot higher than...

There is also one other Kayseri-based company that has the same capability. Kim Teknoloji. It has the production capability of C/C and C/C-SiC composites. https://www.kimteknoloji.com.tr/teknik-seramikler/

The correct question is which version of the Akıncı? Release altitude is the most important parameter release speed is secondary and only has a limited effect. Tolun can reach 100+km when released from 40k altitude with a speed of 0.9 Mach.

Baykar exports will skyrocket next year. I expect more than 4 billion in exports.

No plans right now. I don't know if the turret can be modified to fit any ATGM in the future. Karaok can be carried inside the vehicle and maybe OMTAS too. APS can't be integrated into ZMA-15 as there are not enough spaces to put Akkor and Pulat APS is dangerous for the nearby infantry. You can...

That is your lack of sight.

A package deal that includes brand new 40 Eurofighters T4 costs around 6 billion (150million per fighter). We can buy the same amount of T1&T2 and upgrade those for less than half of this budget.

Özgür project will be a long one TAF is planning to upgrade all block 30-40-50 fighters before the FOC of the first MMU squadron(2030). The project will gain pace starting from 2024 after Murad AESA, FEWS, and national AA missiles are integrated into F-16.

For a unit price of 360k $, those old tin cans are completely remanufactured. This is a good project to cover urgent needs. Armor protection also increased from NATO Stanag 4569 level 2 to level 4. Level 2 7.62 AP bullets @30meters 155mm HE fragments from an explosion 80 meters away...
