The "-lan" suffix is used with wild animals and it comes from Old Turkish. But the origin of the word is unclear. Some suggests that the suffix originates from the Chinese word "lon"(龙), which means Dragon. I'm basing this explanation on "Nişanyan Etymological Dictionary". Other animals with...

No. He clearly said that they are working on a "space tug". It's a vehicle for transporting satellites from transfer-orbit to their operational-orbit. I can definitively say that they're not working on a launch vehicle.

There's a doctrine of "Mutual Assured Destruction" I'm sure most of you are familiar with. It states that if both parties of a conflict have nuclear weapons in their arsenal, use of an atomic bomb from one side will ensure that the attacking side will also be destroyed by the receiver of the...

to what end? Edit: A more appropriate question would be, are you actually suggesting to use biological, chemical weapons on civilians dwelling in the buildings? Women, children, elderly alike? Just casually bomb them with chemical or biological weapons?

You think you can loot a place you bombed with biological weapons? And what would you "steal" exactly?

Why haven't they spoiled us with SOM launched by KTJ3200 yet? It bums me out to think that we're still dependent on the French for the production of our cruise missiles. We can't produce thousands of them even if we wanted unless the French provided the engines. It's been over a year since Kale...

But why did they commission the ship before any fighter-jet landing? What did they test during its sea-trials? Helicopters can land on OPVs too. This is an aircraft carrier. It's main purpose is to carry fighters and they put the ship in service before it has any aircraft to carry. I mean what...

I couldn't find any video of aircraft landing on the ship? Wasn't it shared with the media?

It may sound counter-intuitive but producing cheaper cars are much harder than producing premium cars. TOGG is following Tesla's path in this regard. After having sufficient experience in manufacturing, having the capital, mature supply chain, perfected quality control, and hundreds(if not...

It's typical of the Europeans. Everything is being run like an academic research. No emphasis on hardware. No urgency. Too much bureaucracy. Too many chefs in the kitchen. They take ages to decide even on the specs of the aircraft. I'm pretty sure the project will be shelved before it makes its...

It's good that they're pushing the team to make it to that day even though it's not very likely. We shouldn't be obsessed with March 18th. It should fly when it's ready. I would still be very pleased if it flew towards the end of next year. You gave excellent news about TFX (y) 👏

What's the likelihood of Hürjet making its first flight in March, in your opinion?

Yeah. Many times, deleting code is more productive than adding code. Elon is right. "The best part is no part" 😅

“Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.” - Bill Gates

A tiny correction. This info is from 2019. Although I'm not a fan of quantifying code's capability or quality by how many lines of code it has, it's likely to have much more functionality and LOC now, three years later. And a nice tidbit, in his same article Mr Sunnetic wrote that the half of...

It will be an incredibly tough job to speed the line up. There are just too many processes and the line can only go as fast as its slowest piece. You speed up, some part of the line will burst, you investigate, solve, validate and then increase the speed a bit more and repeat. Reiterate this...

The only foreign country we would be going to war for is Azerbaijan. And that's because they're not foreign for us. We talk a lot about other brotherly countries, friendly countries etc. but we wouldn't get into direct conflict for them. We'd help them by supplying whatever they need, be it...

Haluk Görgün(CEO of Aselsan): "We're about to deliver Early Warning Radar" (EIRS)

But in your post, it reads like TISU has 7tons payload capacity or in the opposite case it implies X47B has only 6 tons of MTOW. These are not comparable aircrafts by the info we gained of them so far. 7 tons of payload will not be in our reach till the end of this decade(because of engine...
