    TR Aircraft Carrier & Amphibious Ship Programs

    Kızılelma, TB3 and some other UAVs and possibly Hürjet will be flown from this ship. It is only natural to call this ship a Plane Carrier ship. I bet more weapons dropped by the planes flow from this ship will hit their targets than many other larger Carriers.

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    That's because attacking every market niche come with a political cost as well as financial. We have GE as a partner in TEI and also there are other makers that we have relations with. Your every move makes a dent on somebody else's market share and they may want to resist. We take it nice and...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    Did you guns know that there are 35 plies of cloth in the thickest part of the F35 composites.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    We ditched the F35 because we will have our own. Our own planes and our own sovereignty.

    Reshuffling of cards in the global economy can bring opportunities to get some modern chip making technology to Türkiye. This is wishful thinking for the most part but it is not groundless. We do not need the cutting edge technology as we do not intend to compete in the high end consumer market...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    I have no doubt the Altay tank production and every project that is being conducted will be delivered in a reasonable timeframe and with an unbelievably high national input rate beyond the wildest imagination of naysayers. Those wishing for our projects to fail will be sorry as always. Those...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    You can always salvage parts from retiring planes. I guess some of those engines were partially made in Turkiye too.

    Hacking takes effect immediately while sanctioning parts may never take effect as in the case of TAI making upgrades to F16 themselves.

    So the Korean pilots were complaining for nothing or they were not complaining at all? Completely groundless false news?

    TSMC is doing it under pressure by the US government and it is not certain that it will happen. It is not only to flatten the employee bubble that happened in the media companies caused by the pandemic but also in preparation to a major recession of the entire economies after the war in Ukraine...

    It is not that money can not be found for engine development but that the ideal way of doing things causes some tolerable delays.

    TEI engine will be able to take the TFX to a sustained speed of 1.4+ mach without an afterburner. This is a tad under what some air superiority fighters can afford but very acceptable for an agile multi-role fighter like the TFX.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    F35 is a stilborne fighter project, a zombi fighter. Customers expected a baby but they got a doll instead. One that needs to be charged by the vendor everytime you want to play.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    One or two engines most likely but I would say ideally two engines. Safer against malfunction, carries more load and leaves the planes belly empty for large pieces of payload.

    TF6000 is a little oversize for KE I guess. Baykar's plan A is likely to be sticking to initial engine plans with Ukraine and TF6000 can be plan B.

    In the worst case scenario TEI makes the TFX engine a few years later than planned in which case we may have to fly some of our planes with underpowered engines. What I am saying is before we can pull off 35k lbf we can probably fly 30k. I think the more likely scenario is TEI efforts will be...

    Tech companies abroad are laying off their employees en masse. 10.000 from Amazon, 10.000 from Meta and from every tech company in preparation of an impending collapse. Yet our people are keeping their jobs and growing in numbers. So lucky for us.
