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...

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...

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.

According to this, Roketsan will only provide add-on armor for T1.

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...

Erdogan says Turkiye is on the market for new seismic and drill ships.

I agree. Many tarikats have close ties with foreign intelligence.

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.

There will be a total of 44 wells. It is roughly 1 million cubic meters per well.

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.

The UK might consider a limited amount of Hürjet naval for training purposes.

All F-16s will be modernized, and there is no appetite from the US side to stop us. If that was the case, the US would have done it long ago.

Aselsan released less information than expected in the activity report. Still, one good news is that F-16 Block 30 is getting FEWS (Fighter Electronic Warfare System) in the scope of Özgür 1/2 projects. This means block 30s will undergo a serious modernization.

I think TUSAS should go for F414 engines for the Hürjet light fighter version. When Baykar 20k engine becomes available switch to Baykar's engine.
