    Just as expected. Expect Ümit Özdağ to declare support for Kılıçdaroğlu (or stay neutral if KK doesn't make the offer he wants) tomorrow. They are playing a well-known game. Kurdish tribes in the southeast push their own candidates from multiple parties so it doesn't matter who wins tribe always...

    Sinan Oğan is expected to announce support for Erdoğan. Ümit Özdağ might declare support for Kılıçdaroğlu. They are playing a good cop bad cop game. They are supporting both sides to maximize gains.

    We should make peace with Assad on the conditions of crushing YPG, securing our borders, and sending refugees back. We have no mission to bring democracy to other people. We shouldn't be involved with internal matters of other countries, we shouldn't try to topple bloody dictators. It is none of...

    Don't be so sure. After the election, AKP will put a constitutional change on the table in 2026 or 2027. AKP will start negotiating with small parties that will leave CHP(SP, DEVA, Gelecek) HDP, and IYI Party. AKP will offer the release of Selahaddin Demirtaş for support of the changes. Similar...

    True but Kılıçdaroğlu should have respected that. People warned him over and over again. He was so sure that a combination of melting economy, earthquakes, and votes from the southeastern Turkiye would carry him.

    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    Democracy is not what people want. It is what people want within rules and regulations so what people want doesn't derail a democratic state. Laws that guarantee the separation of powers, ruling term limit, free judiciary, etc. are what make a state democratic on top of free elections. Erdogan...

    TAI is not overworking its engineers some engineers do overwork voluntarily these two things are not the same thing.

    An elected autocrat can better fit his position. As there is no other leader in democratic countries that is running a country for 20+ years. Putin is also elected, that doesn't mean he is a "democrat". Winning elections is only one side of democracy. Free elections don't mean a country is...

    TAI knows best if the engineers are overworking or not or if the aircraft is fit to conduct its first flight. I doubt any SSB bureaucrats have any detailed data about the airworthiness of Kaan.

    An air-launched long-range cruise missile will probably have a weight similar to an Mk 84 bomb. An appropriate turbojet engine can carry such a missile over 1000km easily. No need to go for a turbofan unless we aim for even longer ranges and Kale stated that they have plans for a dual-use...

    Owning the rights to the end product doesn't mean running the project. SSB has no right to declare a first flight date. According to the signed MMU protocol design, development, production, and any activity related to those is the responsibility of TAI so engineers of TAI will decide if the MMU...

    TAI is at the helm of the project. The decision of the first flight is TAI's responsibility so we should take TAI's word when different announcements are made.

    I see no problem with fuel consumption. Note that consumption is given for the full RPM and maxed-out state of the engine that means at %100 RPM and 3200N thrust the engine will consume 384kg of fuel (KTJ-1750 will consume 210kg) in 1 hour. This is already a really good fuel consumption rate for...

    Roketsan changed the name Yatağan to Mete after Mete Gazoz won the Olympics in archery. Mete ( written as Mo-du in Chinese) was also the emperor of the Hunnic Confederation and the inventor of whistling arrows for battlefield communication.
