Space launch activities of Türkiye goes hand in hand with missile development activities so there is a dual drive in this field. I wouldn't compare Türkiye's efforts of today with past decades of other developers as industry tend to move faster today than before. Rapid prototyping and realistic...

It maybe gut feeling but I did study statistics. After all who can say that the domestic contribution is not between 81% and 85%.

83% ± 2%

We absolutely need to be watching from the sidelines. We don't want NATO in Ukraine, we want Ukraine to hold tight. The best we can do is to provide them with Kızılelma and her ammo. Europe will not even pay for artillery shells if we provide them, what the heck.

You are full of questions. I don't collect and calculate numbers. I look at what components are made locally and what percentage of the whole they should constitute. The only substantiated number can come from the SSB itself but even they do not go into much detail. Even foreigners now say it is...

An overall calculation, some think it is 85%. And by the time when the TF35000 engine becomes operational it is expected to be 95%

This design is more aerodynamic and will enable higher speeds.

The next big disclosure should come from space launch, damn it.

TCG Anadolu, TCG Trakya and 3 aircraft carriers. I don't agree to STOBAR, we can develop a modern UCAV focused CATOBAR in a reasonable timeframe and cost and make 3 of them.

We probably need planes for 5 ships. 12x5x1.3 = 78 + exports = 100+ for each navalized plane type in peace time and more if we enter a war.

We need jobs for our engineers, we can't afford to buy foreign products anymore. We need to busy ourselves trying to find good names for planes and all as the audience.

Considering we want to use a domestic engine to be developed locally it would cut on development costs that is.

We probably have gotten past 83% self reliance in overall defense industry as of now.

Engine commonality is critical, if we can fit the same engine to both cargo and passenger planes it will make the cost affordable.

We need a twin TF10k powered Hürjet/D LCA for the Turkish aircraft carrier. A second iteration of it can be stealth as well.

Erdoğan can be vice president.

You seemed to have caught something that I missed but apparently you didn't.

That's probably because the engine is not giving enough power to what kızılelma evolved into. So we have no clue why no more flights?

You should not compare a first engine make of a company to its second make, it would take half the time. Also the fact that Kızılelma is uncrewed makes it acceptable to power it with an unproven engine. I would say it should take 2-3 new builds before TEI is confident that the engine will fly...

I am guessing we may see TF6 on Kızılelma in less than 18 months.
