    Did you guys remember the olive farmer in Manisa who found an oil-like substance? TPAO set up a pumpjack and started trial production from a shallow(200-300m) reservoir. TPAO will drill another shallow well 500m away from the first well and TPAO will conduct gravity and seismic surveys in the...

    It was not my point. It is possible to mount PT-6 instead of PD-170 especially after TAI starts using stronger wings on Anka-Aksungur. 550hp version of PT-6 might be a better fit. Aksungur is a big UAV and will be able to carry enough payload to high altitudes with PT-6 engines. PT-6 also...

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

    There is a turboprop UAV project it is alive and kicking. Aksungur performed better than expected so there was an internal discussion should we just mount a TP engine and call it a day or should we use one of our existing studied designs? PD-170 performs better than TAI expected but those two...

    Approx. 1.5 million votes have been cast so far in foreign countries. According to ballot box polls, Erdogan leads. The opposition is leading by several percent and is closer to winning the first round. Erdogan closed the gap a lot but winning more votes will be extremely hard as there is...

    Development and missile unit costs. It is calculated that using existing RF and IIR missiles and using them on different target sets is more cost-effective. You can't just put existing RF and IIR seekers together and call it a hybrid seeker. It is like developing a new seeker from scratch(well...

    You are wrong. AESA radar of KAAN is roughly 2x bigger than MURAD AESA.

    AKP gathered a huge crowd but that doesn't automatically translate to a win. In 2018 AKP gathered an even bigger crowd but lost Istanbul.

    If you read some scientific papers released by known Turkish scientists who work in this field and follow earlier projects like the Maske series of projects, Aselsans studies, and Turkish institutes working on the matter you can deduce a good picture. We are giving a lot of clues to intelligence...

    True they are bitter rivals and enemies but that doesn't mean they disagree on everything. They agree on an autonomous(later independent as they use autonomy to reach the real goal) Kurdistan. Hudarpar wants an Islamic Kurdistan while PKK wants a commie one.

    The project of Kılıçdaroğlu bypasses Azerbaijan and makes Iran a key country. This is in line with the Chinese and European agendas. I don't think Israel will be happy. We should either use the Zangezur corridor or use existing Tiflis-Baku road. Setup two big ports one in Kazakstan and one in...

    We are not the US it is not our duty to "save" people from dictators or Kings. Democracy comes from within with the will of the people and can't be dictated from outside. It is not our job to tell how countries shall rule themselves and who should run a country. If people really wants Aliyev...

    KAAN will have a comparable frontal RCS to F-22. I can't disclose the details but we are at a very good point in both RAM paint, RAM coating, and auxiliary items like RAM putty. The geometry of the aircraft and production quality already speaks for itself.

    It seems like the hybrid seeker sub-Atmaca project is axed. Sub-Atmaca will come in two versions (similar to surface variants) IIR and RF but there won't be a hybrid seeker(IIR+RF) version.

    Land launch. Roketsan always quotes conservative range figures. Atak-2 can climb to 20000 feet. Umtas-GM will have a longer range when launched from that altitude.

    Sorry, but there is a limit to how much intelligence you can gather with space-based sensors or long range radars. There is nothing that beats on-site intelligence.
