Interesting where Turkey is. Yet it is not enough for our own use.

I guess too busy exporting them!

What China is doing in Xinjian to the Turkic Uighur minority is abhorable. Xinjian is an autonomous region of China. Yet the Uyghurs do not enjoy any rights of an autonomous region under the heavy handed Chinese oppression. No matter how much our pro-Chinese members will defend China and reject...

The first paragraph, throws a spanner in the works of what Tusas/Aselsan have been doing all this time with respect to “Özgür” modernisation. If this were the case, why were they so verbal and loud about this modernisation? Heck! They even used a plane to modernise it to the right specs. And...

It can be tested on a F16 as well. But it is cheaper to test it on a platform like Akinci to start with, that has much cheaper per hour flight characteristics. Once initial hurdles are passed and the radar is good enough to go on the F16 , then it will be tested on the f16 and integrated.

Although it would be a definitely positive albeit expensive asset for Akinci, I am not really looking forward to Akinci having an AESA radar, apart from it being a test bed for the one to go on our Ozgur f16 planes. What is urgent and vital at the moment is the fact that our f16s need Ozgur...

The idea of yours is sound if it were as simple as learning what they are doing and applying some new ideas to our own production techniques. But in this situation it is quite different. In combustion engine terms; We are dabbling in producing an overhead camshaft engine with variable valve...

Let’s put cat among the pigeons! There is a likelihood that any large scale program like an A/C, LHD - Trakya or TF-2000 will be shelved or at least put on the back burner post 2023 due to limiting extravagance and financial constraints. In all honesty, in spite of the fact that it would give...

You are 100% correct. They are stuck in time of Soviets. Their engines’ annular combustion sections are a good deal shorter than the western equivalents and they have a centrifugal nozzle . This, although improves combustion envelope of the engine, it causes their engines to give out black smoke...

If the booster they are talking about is this contraption under the bottom, it can only give it initial off the land take off speed. The plane still has to climb and overcome gravity. As well as take off using 9-10% of fuel, landing uses 5% of fuel too. So the cruising has to be done with the...
