    Air-Force Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force

    Yes, the production rate will be 2 TFX per year for 10 years. The longer the serial production line stays open the better it is. Though I'm sure if any country puts orders for TFX we can double the production rate.

    Air-Force Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force

    Well, there is a little problem with that. Sweden won't sell us Gripen-E. There is an arms embargo in effect. Our weapon trade with Sweden is even more problematic than the US.

    Neither heat nor energy will be a problem. Brits try to mount a laser and high-powered microwave on that bird. Aselsan AESA for the Akıncı draws around 10-15kw of power at most. Even if we add all the gadgets I doubt total power consumption will pass 20-25kw. Akıncı is designed from scratch with...

    He said "Bozdogan RF+ guided BVR missiles".In the next several years Sungur, Bozdoğan, Gökdoğan, Akdoğan and Gökhan will probably be integrated to Aselsan AESA and Baykar mission computer combo. IMHO integration of Sungur, Bozdoğan, Gökdoğan and air to ground weapon integration will be completed...

    This is big. A-A Weapon Integration on MIUS will be a piece of cake. All of the hard work will be done on Akıncı as a testbed.

    Every state has corruption in varying degrees. Good states fight against it and try to keep it at an acceptable level, a bare minimum. The problem with AKP is AKP institutionalized, organized, and monopolized corruption. It is sad, this is what one-party banana states do. Sorry to hurt AKP fans...

    I already wrote what will happen to TL a few pages back when TL/dollar rate was around 8.5 and the trend was TL gaining value against dollar. Lira/dollar exchange rate will be 10 in the short term and will be 12 in the mid-term. The interest rate will come under %15 in phases. This is...

    Air-Force Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force

    Well we don't get 5 billion free money from the US yearly. One thing everyone misses here is MIUS will come fast. By 2025 we will have a supersonic unmanned aircraft that is very stealth, has an aesa radar, can launch Gökdoğan, Bozdoğan, Akdoğan, Gökhan A-A missiles, and will come with smart...

    Air-Force Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force

    It seems like F-16 deal is going through unless congress stops that. Biden admin is completely ok with the deal in fact the US officials encouraged this. If this deal won't happen Türkiye will look for alternatives whatever the cost is and I expect an extremely harsh stance against the US. 40...

    Hydrogen wins at nothing batteries are the way forward. Renewables+ 4th gen nuclear reactors(thorium molten salt)+ fusion reactor after 2050+batteries is the way. Producing hydrogen is problematic, storing it is problematic, using it is problematic. EVs have very simple logistics chain, they are...

    There is no risk. It is simply existing Li-Ion tech with a different anode chemistry/material. Current Li-Ion battery factories can produce those batteries in mass in a year or two. That is what makes this so valuable. Other battery research like solid-state batteries needs a lot of time until...
