We had discussed this before. Actual cost is irrelevant. What you can pay and how much you can sell it for or how much the buyer is prepared to pay are the important points. @Combat-Master has asked a very relevant question. What was the actual cost of the total t-129 project? And how does that...

The way I see self propelled artillery guns is a bit like tanks. It is becoming more and more evident that the tanks are becoming easy targets to ATGMs and to aerial drones. So their use and design in the battlefield, is in the process of being reconsidered. They will not cease to exist; but we...

If and when we start selling T-929, our selling price will be very high as well. It all depends on what the buyer needs and can afford to pay. Also if they need spare engines and parts or not. If they ask for training costs to be covered. There is also the issue of weapons. Any weapon local or...

I think the last 6 word portion of this statement is important. We could not have fired an a2a missile whilst at supersonic speeds for the “first time”. Aim120 amraam missiles are supposed and designed to be fired from jets flying at supersonic speeds. So firing our indigenous a2a missiles at...

Although no source has been shown so far, there is probably a contractual non tampering clause in the purchase of F16s for 30 years. Same contract would also cover non-sellability of the planes to third parties without US consent. Heck! Even Israel couldn’t sell their old planes to Croatia..

Ozgur means totally free! Hence all mission computers and flight computers are of Turkish origin in Ozgur. There is a time limit on F16s, before being able to interfere with their upgrades locally. Block 30 planes are all past beyond this time limit. Some block 40 planes too are and gradually...

Great news! Will have the icing on the cake when they integrate the indigenous Aesa radars on our Ozgur F16s.

To produce a gas turbine engine that would yield a turbojet, a tuboshaft, a turboprop and a turbofan from the same core, whilst using the same parts in most of the engine, is a dream of all engine manufacturers. Unfortunately due to different end use parameters and required specific thrust and...

Original Adour Turbomeca IS an old design. But this engine has gone through well over a dozen different modernisation and renewal programs. In it’s current guise it has FADEC, totally new fan and a combustor, and new HP turbine and LP turbine stages. It’s dry thrust level has gone up to 6500lbf...

Correct! Turkey IS a “ Developing Country” Yet The CIA classifies Turkey as a developed country. Although Turkey has its own economic struggles it is not a “third world country. The best way to describe Turkey is developed/developing. According to the CIA Factbook, Turkey is a developed...

Question: Couldn’t TEI build motorsich engine of mius under licence? Before such a question can be answered some facts regarding the details of “license agreement” have to be clarified. There are license agreements where it is no more than putting together foreign parts. There are license...

As discussed before, should Ukrainian engines prove to be unattainable, then for subsonic flight, Honeywell F-124 or for supersonic flight, F-125 version will be ideal. Even the RR Adour turbomeca is an alternative should US would cause problems with the Honeywell engine; until TF6000 becomes...

If you mean Kizilelma; that is the given name of the MIUS unmanned stealth plane, meaning red apple. It apparently has some sort of Turkic mythological connotation.
