Hopefully that will also bring about a nuclear armed Turkiye. Also, this must be the worst illustration of a submarine in history...

Turkiye needs its own version of the 358 asap. They have shown themselves to be highly effective in the hands of PKK and Houthis. Requires very little ground infratrucutre. Currently, israeli drones are flying unchallenged in Syria's airspace and also conducting attacks on government forces...

My bad. I meant an EO like Aselflir

This tiny EOTS is not the real deal. They are just using it for these initial tests

Thank! The useful EOTS is still missing. I think we can expect a PT-5 with EOTS for weapons tests.

The "payload" Selcuk is speaking off seems to be this sensor. Anyone know what it is?

Also worthwhile to notice that all take-off are happening in headwind. Interesting to see if it can take off in non-windy/tailwind conditions.

It is not like that TM100 will take all og Rotax’s market share. There will definitely be a segment for TM100 be it due to price, quality or geopolitical.

Relax. It was merely said that is could become a civilian product as well. Which is something Baykar has said that Türkiye needs to leap into in general. It will not be tomorrow. But if Baykar desires it, they will make it happen.

I agree, but for Turkiye to continue massive R&D investments in the field of engines, it would help if the developed engines becomes cash cows.

Hopefullty TM100 can grap a significant share of the civilian market as well. If it can outcompete Rotax by being better and cheaper it could over the next decade become a huge export success for Turkiye.

Do we know the specs of the engine and how it compares to the competition?

Why does Turkiye allow RAF to use her airspace when flying missions in support of the PKK? This aircraft was ferrying 2 Typhoons to the location from Cyprus.

What is the message here? Hisar O having ABM capability?

EU folks here acting like the union is eternal. Even in the most critical hour (Ukraine, US tariffs etc.), the EU states cannot agree on anything of importance. It is a matter of decades before EU countries will start killing each other again.

I think it is both. Can be used as a cruise missile on a pre-defined target or can be sent into a theater to look for targets. Doesn't have to be either or.

Because a private-led company is (1) more open to talk about projects that can be considered important/sensitive (2) move faster than public companies.

So Turkey is selling drones to Haftar now? What the hell is going on in Libya?

Sanctions will be removed and they do have some oil and gas reserves under their control. In the near future, the PKK problem will be dealt with and they’ll get control over all the oil. in the medium-term, their pre-war industrial base will be revived and their economy will boom. of course...

Believe it or not, the destruction of Syria's existing equipment is a blessing in disguise. Turkey and Syria can now focus on developing a truly modern and professional force from a blank sheet. No resources will need to be dedicated to keep useless Russian jets/air defence/EW operational. It is...
