IMO, no. Only one Akıncı is new. (6+1)

Both of them. They crushed the German economy with heavy war reparations so that Germany would not start war again, at the end of World War I. However, they experienced bloodily that this situation still did not prevent the war. So they floated that "Germany ship", but at the same time they...

OK. Shall we bet? This is what we will see in Ukraine 3 months after. Russian soldiers dying or starving gathered around the highways.

You are very wrong. Contrary to popular belief, democracies are much much more stubborn. Russia cannot win this war. Never ever.

True. But even if that news is certain, I don't think any journalist can announce it in the current political environment. "The government's favorite company BMC could not even make the simplest diesel engine." If this is heard, the opposition will use it to the end as the elections are very...

I don't know about that right now. However, one of my cousins is a senior testing officer at FNSS, and I will ask him about this if I meet him during the Eid-al-Adha holiday. Because as far as I know, FNSS would use a Tümosan engine in a solution.

According to İbrahim Sünnetçi, BMC failed in 400 HP diesel. So BMC just stumbled on the first rung of the ladder. It's very frustrating.

I think this is highly unlikely to happen. If it does, this happens because the MIUS will be manufactured as navalized&cheap from the very beginning. As far as I know, Australia's project (MQ-28) is for a land-based drone.

If they mean FIAT money Yuan, it won't work. Since it uses the US/EU dollar and the SWIFT system as weapons, every country that attaches importance to its independence is now opposed to the dollar being a reserve currency. But that doesn't mean they will replace the Dollar with the Yuan. IMO...

Good.

True. Therefore, unlike the Howitzers, which are not expected to be in constant motion, 2.8-liter generator will not be sufficient for MBTs. Much more powerful generators will be needed. IMO 850 HP and above will be required for MBTs. On the other hand, even MBTs do not require continuous...

Countinously supply mostly. The main function of batteries in serial hybrid system is a kind of "buffering". In other words, electric motors need very high current during the first start. The current produced by the diesel (generator) engine is insufficient in those first moments. Batteries...

As an interesting note, the power of the generator and the power of the batteries are inversely proportional here. For a powerful generator, not so powerful batteries will be enough to do the job. There is probably an optimum point between the ratios of these powers. I wonder how MKEK will choose.

No need a long charge time. The main function of batteries in a serial hybrid system is buffering. In other words, electric motors need very high current during the first start. The current produced by the diesel engine is insufficient in those first moments. Batteries fill this gap. In a...

I am answering you, but it will also be the answer to others. Our current problem is not in the power source (mean engine). The problem is in the transmission of that power. For this reason, I suggest a serial hybrid system that bypasses mechanical transmission.

I'm not surprised by this. The hardest part was always the transmission part anyway. If we had faced such a problem 20 years ago, "The 1500 HP domestic power pack project is effectively dead." I would say. However, thanks to the advancement of battery (and serial hybrid systems) technologies...

IMHO, i disagree. I think our air power will be based on UCAV's in a shorter time than we expected. TFX will remain a kind of luxury and the workhorses of our air force will be drones like MIUS/TİSU and Akıncı./TB3/Aksungur. (Not F-16 or Hürjet) From this perspective, the aforementioned...

Very good. But IMO TEI little bit slow.

They put satcom and datalink but not E/O, huh? I hope there will be E/O on Kargı taken into inventory. Both RF Seeker and E/O should be in use. E/O should not be optional. It would be very unreasonable to use something like Harpy when there is something like Harop. The high rate of...
