Even individual projetcs such a Turksat 6A has local input rating that falls into 81-85 % rating that I predicted for the Turkish defence industries, nice.
I belive Turkish engine industries' engine projects will encompass the entire spectrum of engines in the long term and current projects are only the high priority ones.
I wouldn't call drone sales irresponsible, consider the consequences in the case where they were not there. But I would agree that we need to keep our eyes open for cases of taking shortcuts and misuse of them. They need more reliable intelligence before hitting targets. We don't want shame but...
I only see a few claims that lack proof. This latest Somali claim is the only one that holds significance as it came after the hotel attack that killed high ranked government officials and provoked retaliation that may have led to a hasty first opportunity attack.
You are making a personal accusation which is not accepted in this forum.
I defend Türkiye's position because I approve of it and actually ask for more rather than simply defending its leaders. Ak Parti and Erdoğan do what I want while I actually ask for more of it.
It is saving lives by...
We don't have direct evidence but its length went from 19m to 21m and wing area was also increased. TFX is meant to use Turkish made weapons and they are still in development so weapons bay requirements would be expected to change accordingly.
There is no such statistics for any country, it is all gross estimations refined over time. It is always better than no data, that's why the world uses such estimates. I am guessing you have a better source for it.
What makes you say that? Can it not fly, is it disposable or everything that is expected to be learned from it has already been learned and it is done?
We should hasten TF35000 development to eliminate skepticism and focus on local development rather than looking at foreign products. Kaan has already flown and has shown that he is viable, now the engine needs to be built and ignited. We should start counting down to it with patience.
We will see; we saw a different picture than predicted for the TFX project which is now Kaan, we may as well see a fast lane progress in this field too as funding issue can be solved quickly given a clear path to success is proposed by developers.
