@ADMusa I suggest you get familiar with the rules of this forum, otherwise your stay will be a brief one.

Everything for the elections.

German source, I'd like to highlight one thing: Investment of 1.8 bln € for the entire offshore platform, onshore production and pipes. Dont know if exploration costs are included. But expected to pay the initial investment off within the first 6 months of production...

Both the EastMed Pipeline and the Grid Connector will be less expensive and more feasible through Turkish waters and with Turkey onboard. I think everyone knows this. They were over eager to use the Anti-Turkish momentum for their own gains but you cant change hard facts such as geography...

Personally, I'm on team Ismail Demir, play it safe. Dont oversell. But I understand why Kotil is the way he is. It's his management style, his character. Nothing wrong with it tbh.

This, among other things, is why GEs and TEIs ongoing partnership is still worth it. Mentioning this because it was discussed a couple of pages back.

Greece's maximalist demands didn't bear any fruits. But regardless, this is foreign policy after all, I think its positive and good that Dendias is showing their willingness to cooperate.

@ADMusa Take this as a formal and public warning to refrain from using insulting language towards Turks and Turkey or secularists in general. 80% of Turkish people if not more do support secularism and I will not sit iddle and watch you insult them as apostates, hypocrites etc.

Polling is a science for itself. Many factors such as how they ask the questions, on the phone or in person etc make a big impact. Just to give an example, Hillary Clinton was polling better than Trump, but Trump won because many voters or polled people didnt want to publicly announce their...

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/biden-administration-advance-small-f-16-equipment-sale-turkey-sources-2023-04-17/ The smaller package is supposed to be a positive signal and a first step. I believe the bigger one will be approved too, the question remains when it will be...

I've been watching their videos on Youtube. Good channel.

None of the countries you mentioned are even in the top 5 of Titanium production. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_titanium_production

One more interesting thing Kotil said on Habertürk was that they have stocked up on tons of titanium in warehouses, just in case they hit any supply issues.

Bundeswehr hopes to introduce it in 2024 earliest! In development since 2008 at least. But financing has been cut apparently. Runs like your average German defence project, behind on schedule and probably way over budget.

So why do we not scratch the MMU engine tender? at this point its unncessary and late anyway. Give some work share to Kale and everyone's happy.

Now we know why Aselsan licensed the wind turbine designs of the German engineering company. https://www.dailysabah.com/business/energy/turkiye-aims-to-produce-electricity-from-domestic-wind-turbines-in-2-years Kalyon and Aselsan will apparently form a JV and aim for production start within 2...

Promoting an electric car in countries with little to none infrastructure for it. With even less buying power or potential target customers, I dont know seems more for domestic consumption and PR. I'm not aware of any big EV push from the Uzbek government. But please feel free to correct me.
