Timing is critical, ideally we want an AC that we will want to make more than a few of but making a high quality AC with EMALS catapults and nuclear propulsion can be challenging. Therefore a first step basic AC with conventional propulsion and lower throughput can be acceptable. We need to look...

You can not stop ships from sailing in international waters.

A few weeks ago I shared that MKE have established a company in the US, seems like they built a production line there but the news avoids saying it is a Turkish company making America's munitions. I don't think MKE is just selling production lines.

You totally lost the chance of being on good terms with Mr. Temel Kotil.

One of the Anka3 drone's roles is air interception, of actually what? Drones, helicopters, freighters, other slow planes and cruise missiles are a given but can she intercept 4th and 5th generation fighters. I don't see why not owing to its stealth character I would say she is "ambush master #2"...

Tank lover armies will wise up at some point, it is not easy to give up on an iconic piece of equipment overnight after all. There is economies around it and cost of ownership of the technology is high, so there is a big barrier to entry into the technology which keeps small players out of the...

We don't want supply chain problems.

Hybrid or electric alone options for older stock tanks, why not?

GE put the T901 engine development to back burner with the latest move towards abandoning FARA development, there are few prototypes available for projects. For what its worth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_T901

We can't afford to make something we will regret, we need to make sure we are making the right thing.

https://www.defensenews.com/air/2024/02/08/us-army-spent-billions-on-a-new-helicopter-that-now-will-never-fly/ US is reshuffling their helicopter programs but we can't?

Export market is probably the primary market. There is merit to having all systems in one portable platform too. If the system is quick in reacting then the disadvantage of all guns pointing in the same direction can be minimized or better turned into an advantage by not having separate sensors...

You don't get it. It is perfectly OK to be behind schedule when you don't have all the ecosystem elements locally made for many years. Mind you we are at only 80% local made at this point. The remaining 20% can drag you quite a bit. You need to navigate your way around obstacles and make the...

Not when this helicopter can be remade to operate on a carrier ship. There maybe issues about how many engines you can procure in a given period of time and the maker may want to keep those engines for some other customer while the domestic replacement engine is being prepared for the task. I...

While there is so much intricacies around defense sector it is only natural to be selective in what you make known. Every move you make is closely watched by enemies and also friends. Impatiently.

Whether it is or not when it comes to having a big punch they may not want to provide engines for such systems. I am not sure if they can avoid it but still a possibility. In that case you want to see what you can make with what you already have. A twin engine plane or one with a smaller output...

The TF6000 has better fuel economy with a relatively high 1.08 bypass ratio compared to the F110 with 0.87. if the power output targets of IHA-SOJ and IHA-AWACS match the engine the TF6000 is a prime candidate to power those systems. They can probably consider multiple options with various size...

I will happily redo the visualization of his data if he does.

We want 100% locally made everything if possible, we can wait if it will not take too long to make.
