Canal Istanbul is a bad project for Turkiye unless we have money to burn.

Those VLSs you see on OPV are just single-cell small VLSs. They are the same as the launch vehicle of the land-based Hisars. This way we can cheaply and easily integrate Hisar SAM into the OPV. There is probably more space around that area for another eight similar VLS for a possible future...

So what is the problem with that? MKE produces G3, MP-5, and 120mm L55 cannon under license too. TAI produces T-129 under license from AW. It depends on the type of license. MKE bought complete rights to Oerlikon 35mm autocannon. A new national 35mm cannon would be very good but it is not urgent.

Note that the main radar is the MAR-D Mk2 with an improved 120km range and guidance support for active RF guided SAM.

F-16 ESM/Electronic support (EHPOD) and ECM/EA pod (EHPOD) projects move to the qualification phase. The first pods will probably be delivered this year.

Both Imran Khan and Shahbaz Sharif are corrupt though I have to accept that Shahbaz is on another level as he is literally elected PM with a court bailout. Imran Khan was in a very difficult place before he is removed from the office. If let alone he most likely would have lost the election in...

It depends. What kind of compressor is used axial or radial? How many stages the engine has in the compressor or turbine. We can't compare them without knowing more.

Imran Khan will probably come back even stronger in the next elections and the next elections are right around the corner.

TB2 has 150kg payload capacity. It is enough for CATS(55kg)+4x MAM-L(22kg*4=88kg).

CATS weighs 55kg in the newest batch. It is 6kg heavier than MX-15 which is not that important.

We should sell TB2s to Serbia. It is our product and we know it very well. If they use TB2 on Bosnians we can cut the support and we will probably directly intervene if they step up their shit. In that case, NATO will also be on our side.

Akıncı uses Canadian engines, Hava-SOJ project will benefit from Canadian expertise. We are not dependent on them it is not vital for us but things will move more smoothly and faster with Canada on board. In the end we will achieve our goals with or without Canada but we will struggle less if...

The price is not extremely high. I guess 4x2 200HP with 300km range will be priced at 25000$ (does it include tax?). If this price includes tax then it is a good value.

It is probably limited to something like 180-200km/h. Wait until someone makes a software patch to remove the limit :D

True. Erdo is also gaining another leverage against the EU by hooking up another regional energy source to the Turkish infrastructure. But wait until some other player uses PKK/YPG to attack the pipelines. KRG has no room to maneuver anymore and has to take steps against PKK/YPG. KRG can't turn...

1) I don't care. It is not an obligation to use the reply button. 2) You said nothing at all. You said everything is normal. It is technical, Turkish subsystems cause delays because of testing requirements there is no malicious intent from the German side. This is not true the project was in...

So according to you, everything is normal. Another 1-year+ delay is an expected outcome of an already massively delayed project. Germans have no malicious intent and covid delays(force major nothing can be done), and technical/testing delays(legal actions should be taken for those) are the cause...

Today Yavuz drillship left the harbor to attach the production valve called Christmas tree to the first well of the Sakarya gas field. Now 3 of the 4 advanced drillships of the TPAO work in the Blacksea gas field. Fatih drillship is drilling a new exploratory well at the Gökçebey-1 location...

I hope it does but nearly everyone I know speaks about huge delays even for the first submarine and gives 2023 as a likely date for commissioning.

Yes, it does, but it is in development for MILDEN submarine project. Milden is planned for the 2030s. This is so important. I can understand a delay for the second third fourth submarine but I can't understand a year delay for the first submarine. It was on the verge of starting sea trials...
