For the last 50 or so years, assimilation or you could also call it nativization of Turkish Kurds worked pretty well. We have millions of hard working, patriotic Kurdish citizens that do not see the necessity to live anywhere else. PKK numbers around at what 20-30k in Turkey and Iraq combined...

I think it might be a collapsible crane for the engineer version. I'd expect that version to carry the Tamkar but it is what it is.

Highly doubt TF-X will ever be cheaper to produce than F-35. It's 80mil a piece now because they built 800 and keep building more. What keeps F-35 from being the most produced modern jet ever is US not selling it to anyone.

Adding a buddy buddy fuel tank to drone is easier than adding a probe to a drone.

Is this because of the latest American back and forth or as a means to get ready for it? Did Armenians fire back? Questions, questions.

Saw a BMC Power chief engineer who says she works for Batu the other day, she was defending her life's work over on twitter against naysayers. Mid 30s woman, İTÜ or ODTÜ grad, liberal leaning, feminist. Good luck asking her to stay when YRP talks about removing rights of women and speaking about...

Probable infighting between heads of TAI and SSB. Related:

Not with that nozzle, but it should be in the right direction.

looks as if the engine nozzle is standing on a carriage. Bet you can't see the nozzle from below say unlike the Okhotnik prototype. Interesting design choice.

Can't make up the turret on the fourth vehicle. Tamkar launcher seems to be carried inside, so not that.

Raptor means a bird of prey. Eurofighter is the name of the consortium and EF-2000 is known as the Typhoon, Rafale means wind in French, other two are SAM systems. Naming a fighter plane after birds or weather phenomena is pretty standard. I'm pretty sure that they will call it the Anatolian...

"A production capacity of up to 100 tanks per year is planned at the Ankara Production Facility. 20-30 of these are considered for the export market. The mass production speed of the New ALTAY AMT, which will start with 4-5 units per month, will increase depending on the learning curve and will...

I was actually thinking about that yesterday. Afaik, in the current Altay production program of 250(251?) tanks, there is a separate branch on training tanks for tank schools included in that number, but i am yet to see someone mention tank based recovery vehicles in that number, less so with...

I really couldn't comment on that. From other unmanned turret prototypes we know that both AbramsX and T-14 weigh significantly less than tanks of their class. M1A2 was 68tons, M1A2 sep v2 comes at above 72 I think. GDLS advertised AbramsX with having a 60ton standard weight, which would make it...

I like how you arranged these possible outcomes where you put Öcalan's photo next to Atatürk and then added the others because you thought portraits of Öcalan and Atatürk didn't bring the point across enough and needed juuuuust a little more. I'm not trying to stoop to this level of propaganda...

Until now, the reason for the early first flight was touted as a learning experience for the engineers to see their design in the air and outside of their computers, so that process would be faster. Kotil also previously iterated the cold war method of building jets. Fast and numerous. He...

Icarus stays as a possible name for TF-X. Steady now..

K21 is more like a 25 ton vehicle, no? And they solved the buoyancy issue by adding floats to the poor thing. It had some mishaps where some prototypes just sunk, i remember reading about it few years back. It is actually pretty innovative, how they solved the floats but making a design...

Tulpar or Kaplan MT for that matter both weigh more than 30-35 tonnes. They aren't going into the water anytime soon. Tulpar S and Kaplan 10 on the other hand... They were built amphibious capable from ground up.

Knowing what the F-15 is and can do, that'd be the greatest leap forward for HvKK since F-16 was introduced. 104 to 0 baby. If MMU can be a 2030s LO F-15 with all the avionic goodies, that'd be more than what we could want and some more.
