Yes. IMF will dictate a return to the orthodox monetary policies. We will see how Erdo reacts to this demand.

The studies in the Adana oil field will be widened. According to TPAO current proven oil reserves in Adana stand at 7.5-8 million barrels. There are 4 more identical fields in the area with good prospects. The total reserves might reach ~70 million barrels. 2D and 3D seismic studies will be done...

AKP wants to borrow 50-60 billion $ from the IMF but I think this won't save us if AKP continues unorthodox monetary policies. I fear that they want this money to win the elections.

Turkiye pays a %10+ interest rate when it borrows money. We can borrow money from IMF with way better terms.

The chart is not wrong. It shows the total reserves of China after the ore is processed and turned into REE oxides. And it should also be either estimated or possible REE reserves. Proven Turkish reserves are around 15MT if we calculate it in REE oxides. BTW China has the Bayan Obo area but...

The ground phase of the operation will possibly start after Eid Al Adha. Some sources also hint at August as the possible start date for the ground phase. IMHO August is more likely.

We have a thorium molten salt reactor project. If it fails we can directly procure reactors from China. Chinese are very close to a commercial thorium reactor.

I'm leaving another bomb. AKP is in secret negotiations with IMF. After days of discussions, AKP higher cadres managed to convince Erdoğan to hold negotiations with IMF. Erdo only gave permission to find out the terms of the IMF.

Price of diesel has nothing to do with the economy it is tied to the price of oil in the international market and the TR/USD exchange rate(currently 17.21). Minimum wage increase, state worker's wage increase and pension increase will fuel inflation. I expect TR to throw the towel this fall. We...

Only 10 out of 17 can be recovered from the ore as the ore only contains negligible/trace amounts of the other 7 elements.

Kara(Land) Atmaca is heavier(890kg vs 750kg) has more range (officially disclosed as 280km, estimated ~500km), and has an engine with more thrust(KTJ-3700). Coastal(Kıyı) Atmaca is the same Atmaca missile with an IIR seeker.

Now this one is big. Secretary of NATO mentions FETO Terrorism but again no YPG. YPG and FETO should be mentioned in official NATO documents as terrorism threats. We should aim for that. If it happens that will be a big gain. Gulen is reportedly on his death bed. May the Tengri grant him a...

It might be but the classic Turkish battery structure is 3 launch vehicles per battery. Hisar-A, Hisar-O, modernized AAA cannons, artillery, and SPA all of those have 3 vehicles per battery. Besides Atmaca coastal is built on a distributed architecture similar to Turkish air-defense batteries so...

It is a loss for us YPG and Gulen movement is not designated as terrorist organizations. Anything short of that is unacceptable. SDF is not even mentioned. As expected, the western press is selling this shit as a victory of Turkiye.

Turkish artillery is bombarding YPG targets and a big convoy of reinforcements entered the Euphrates shield area.

Atmaca coastal is the same Atmaca missile with an IIR seeker so I don't think there will be any problems when using those on navy ships. BTW Atmaca coastal batteries will be supported by Çakır coastal batteries.

TAF will buy 7 Atmaca coastal defense missile batteries from Roketsan. Each battery will have 3 launch vehicles with 4 missiles each which means 12 ready-to-fire missiles per battery and 84 total ready-to-fire missiles. I expect an order of 168 missiles(84+84 for reload) plus several training...

Yes, but the area was discovered decades ago. The discovery has nothing to do with the current government. The importance of the reserve grew exponentially with the increase in consumption of rare earth elements and a possible switch to thorium as nuclear fuel. As our boron reserves, this won't...

Fingers crossed for this to happen. Let's see who will guarantee the debts of EU countries.

The recently discovered reserve in Adana is not shale oil. It is a small shallow reservoir.
