Just basic economics, demand and supply. High demand, few suppliers = higher price High demand, but more suppliers = lower price. Nothing extraordinary about it. What is remarkable and actual news, is that he said that there are other engines that are already in use that they can not talk...

Everybody keep your personal beef out of the threads and be civil.

1/8 of a F35A in 2022 would be around 10m €. If one TB2 is approx. 4-5m € as reported in media, Kizilelma can't possibly that cheap. Has to be way higher.

A decade ago or so Hyundai Rotem was supposed to locally Co develop high speeds trains in Turkey. But I guess that deal never sent through.

Dont be like that, best days are yet to come.

Government funded Intellectual property and R&D should not be given out for free to non government companies. We should not encourage companies to neglect their own R&D. I hope TÜBITAK at least earns some patent / license fees to fund further development in these kinds of deals.

My 2cents: Iran has their proxies with or without the sanctions. Iran with or without sanctions is not really a threat for Turkey. However economically speaking, lifting the sanctions with help cross border trade and benefit both countries. What happens every time the sanctions against Iran...

I am not so familar with Spains economy, but they had invested a lot in renewable energy which might come handy now. Also Turkey is still stuck with many expensive take it or leave it gas contracts that are very expensive.

I saw this being posted on the internet. If there's one thing we have learned in the Ukraine war, it's that time to deployment and how fast you can scoot away can make a big difference against opponents with equal-ish artillery and with counter battery radars are very important. So my question...

No Information on the timeframe as of now, but knowing its Germany, its going to be slow.

No personal attacks, no offtopic posts or its going to rain warnings and bans. We've been through this a dozen times.

Germany will deliver 255 Vulcano artillery shells with a range of around 70km to be used in the already delivered Panzerhaubitze 2000. https://soldat-und-technik.de/2022/08/bewaffnung/32586/praezisionsgelenkte-vulcano-artilleriemunition/

"We didnt get the F35 because of the S400, but even then they would not give it to us because of (insert some random mumbo-jumbo)" is such a weak argument. No substance at all imo. Its a deeply apologetic argument in defense of the (bad) decision makers with no meat on the bone. It's entirely...

This was always my favourite option, but was never really considered AFAIK: https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2017/02/08/new-terms-offered-for-a-turkish-meads-missile-defense-system/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_Extended_Air_Defense_System
