Why?

Without the oil/gas imports we would already have a trade surplus, probably near to 0 in the last couple of years too. The easiest solution to this is massive investments into renewable energy. The profits of the Gas in the Black Sea need to be invested wisely and in my opinion renewables...

I have received my first car ever, its full electric and has officially a 600 km range but in the winter, and realistically I'm getting around 450kms out of it. There's a decent grid already here but in remote areas it will still be a struggle. Nothing to do with TOGG, just wanted to share my 2...

In that case I am one-celled, because I will always compare Turkey and Turkish citizens to the best or one the best in the world. Because thats what the people and this country deserves. Comparing wages in € and Lira of course is very one-sided and not the whole story. Btw minimum wage in...

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/erdogan-faces-uphill-bid-woo-turkeys-large-alevi-minority-2021-11-25/ How many times did Erdogan try to buy Alevi votes and failed? I lost count.

I dont know why, but off-shore wind has not been tapped in Turkey at all. There's so much potential though: https://www.evwind.es/2021/04/20/turkey-holds-75-gigawatts-of-offshore-wind-energy-potential/80431 https://www.emo.org.tr/ekler/b97cd6e268f9d0b_ek.pdf...

Dont know about that guy, but Russia has always tried to meddle with NATO countries to keep them busy and out of focus. Makes total sense. See Hungary, or pretty much every other country in Europe where they use i.e. anti-refugee sentiment and their Propaganda machines to cause hysteria and to...

Once again, I'm asking you to use the existing threads and to check if the news were already posted. https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-defense-exports-updates.143/page-67

Really curious why they choose to use two different PLM Systems one from Siemens for Ataks and the other from Dassault for the TF-X.

Just for comparison, did some quick research: 12 German PzH 2000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerhaubitze_2000) cost Croatia 2015 (https://www.czdefence.com/article/new-self-propelled-howitzers-for-acr-what-would-be-the-cheapest) around 3.5m € per piece. I know that PzH is a older design...

This is going to a very hard landing for everyone. Those responsible, who made their money and filled their bags will soon all leave, say goodbye and enjoy their lives probably in one of the Gulf countries.

Didnt know where else to post this: https://www.tusas.com/en/corporate/about-us According to TAI / TUSAS the company still holds 5,6% in Airbus Military. However, Airbus Military was reorganized and merged with another company to form Airbus Defence and Space...

I'm all for selling and supplying anything we can, but directly getting involved - thats only something that should be done with the umbrella of NATO or at least the big countries together.

This is literally the back garden of Russia, you think they will sit silently and watch?

Any news on the Turkish Pantsir that was announced not to long ago?

- energy heavy industries have been moving to Asia over the past decades - their economies are not growing as fast as an emerging country, no need to grow as much in energy generation. 2% growth p.a. was more than enough for a large economy such as Germany (pre-covid). - focus on efficiency...

That casus belli threat has been there since the 90s, nothing new. @Timuçin Please use the Geopolitics Thread in the future.

Sometimes I think that we're not living in the same reality with regard to Turkey defending Ukraine vs. Russia. Power aside, we shot down a Russian aircraft and our government bend backwards to mend ties incl. buying a very expensive air defence system and jailing innocent soldiers.

They should put some solar panels on all those flat roofs.
