    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    For space launches we can probably use İğneada for up to 1500kg 700km launches. For bigger launches we can use shipborne platforms of the coast of our province of Muğla or of Libya across the sea. For the largest launches we will probably need locations near the equator like Somalia or...

    Of course not. It is only that you want to start with easier to exploit places and move to hard to exploit ones. From land and shores to offshore locations; from nearer locations to far locations.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    I would add to that possible co-exploitation of some overseas resources like in Libya and other places which can effectively take our energy imports bill to zero in a 7 year time-frame. I expect a bright future in energy in the medium term.

    Production is expected to rise to 20% of consumption by the end of this year AFAIK. And a further rise to close to 50% can be expected in 3 years optimistically speaking. Electrification of cars will decrease consumption too in the long run.

    For one thing I haven't reported anyone of your posts to be deleted. I may be mad at you four your badmouthing of our defense industry heroes but I didn't see it necessary to report you for it. I wish you come to your senses and stop the hostility.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    The predecessor of V-280 the Osprey has been around for ages already. There is a big aviation community in Türkiye now and people know what is what largely thanks to Teknofest and current helicopter projects.

    All of the above projects that you have given pictures of are dead projects. Temel Kotil has already said that after finishing development of classical helicopters they will look into compound helicopters. TAI have been behind Helicopter Design competition of Teknofest events. I personally...

    Maybe in 15-20 years from today once both TAI and Baykar are cashed up and experienced in what they are making they can be in full competition to get government tenders but today they are like teenager humans they need to be nurtured and supported to get to success. This should not be hard to grasp.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    TAI is a state company, the military chain of procurement orders TAI to make the products and TAI make them. While Baykar is a private company; its owners have a vision and they make the plane in their vision. Turkish military foresee the future within confines of what is achievable with...

    You need to allow private companies to thrive otherwise you get the MKEK of the old times which makes state companies unproductive. SSB is doing a good job at keeping the defense industry vibrant.

    Ski jump can possibly be used to slow down planes without even having to use a cable to catch the plane, uphill climb will help slow down. Given that the runway is emptied for landing of course.

    Do you want TEI to Crush Kale Arge in turbine development? Field allocation is a policy of SSB. We can not waste our resources by duplicating work. Only when companies have a superior technology can they be allowed to duplicate but not for technologies that are no better than the other.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    That's a little further down the road. Manned planes are manned because unmanned planes aren't reliable just yet. Also those planes are expensive and need to be trusted to an onboard pilot to be taken good care of. They will get smarter by the day and be optionally piloted at some point...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    We don't want our companies to compete for similar platforms. Baykar is all about unmanned. TAI can make planes unmanned to backup for pilot failure and they most likely will.
