    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    YIHA-III is an extremely cheap drone. It is basically a pipe with wings, and it has the cheapest pipe, wing, and propeller you can get. I wouldn't be surprised if unit price is something like 5k USD.

    TR Turkish Defense Industry Companies

    Arca should have invested a lot more in R&D. No advanced explosive production, no fuze production, no new product development. They are just producing vanilla products. Assan invests heavily in advanced capabilities and develops new projects. ASSAN Group continues to fill explosive materials...

    TR Turkish Defense Industry Companies

    Someone is really concerned about Assan improving in a lightning fast pace. After Assan acquired Dynaflow, Assan can now produce both the bomb, filling (RDX, HMX, TNT, PBXN, composite explosives), and fuze. A direct threat to MKE and another newly found company Arca. Arca has serious influence...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    BTW, it doesn't matter how much you pay, no one transfers armor technology. Korean technology transfer angle is bullshit. What they transferred is base technologies that are used for developing your own armor solution. Developing cutting-edge armor is really difficult. You need many...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Composite armor consists of several different layers, like Al2O3 (Alumina), B4C (Boron Carbide), SiC (Silicon Carbide, TiB2 (Titanium Diboride), etc. Roketsan probably outsourced either raw materials or tiles for all of the layers at the beginning, and one by one nationally developed armor-grade...

    According to the latest polls, CHP is far ahead of AKP. Somehow, AKP managed to make it worse with peace process 2.0 and Ekrem İmamoğlu trials. Who would have thought? Erdoğan should hang the advisors who advised those genius moves. It seems like Bahçeli will destroy Erdogans political career...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Hurjet will also have an armed and a naval version. IMHO, armed Hurjet and naval Hurjet need a stronger engine ,either F414 or EJ200 can be candidates in this regard, until Baykar's 20000lb engine comes into the equation.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    This is a known issue for those who follow the Altay project closely. T1 was never supposed to have the Turkish armor. It seems like they are sticking to that. Roketsan demonstrated its own armor solution via live firing tests, but demonstrating that capability is one thing; mass producing...

    Correct. Özdemir Bayraktar helped many commanders arrested in the scope of the Ergenekon and Balyoz trials. Baykar still employs some of them.

    He is getting ready to abolish parliament. His approval rating is around %30 neither imprisoning his political rivals nor promising autonomy to the PKK changes that. The last option is a coup, and he is seriously considering that. He thinks that with Trump at the helm of the USA, he won't have...

    Lol We have seen this movie before. They can't do it, even if they can do it won't work, it will be worse than this that... etc. The funniest one is Turks have been working on that for 2 decades. Sure mate whatever makes you sleep comfortable at night.

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    I think some kind of EMALS will be installed on QE. It is a miracle to sustain 30-40% readiness with F-35B. F-35B is not a Harrier. It is a failed product; even the US Navy can't maintain them and is fed up with problems and malfunctions. It basically breaks down. F-35C is decent and has a...

    I think F-35Bs will be retired. It is a failed product. UK will continue with F-35C.

    Blacksea gas reserves will eventually reach 1 trillion cubic meters. I think it is time to start drilling for oil in the prospective area off the coast of Rize.
