How much is the worth of the deal? How much does Indonesia pay????

No, not pricetag but capabilities! There are 2 (main) matters You have to see that Turkish defense industry made an enormous growth in the past 10 years. When was Milgem developed? It started in 2008 (if I recal well), the tech level we had 13 years ago and now is not comparable anymore...

What exactly are we looking at? Rain drops?

As much as I critisize sometimes BMC, I agree to the fact to use BMC trucks for our projects. Why use Mercedes, MAN trucks while we have our own company.

Well keep fingers crossed, I hope for my country that huge cashes of oil / gas can be found But at same time I'm sceptical, we've seen these type of "news" before, coincidentally whenever Turkey is in the wake of a huge crisis we magically find oil and gas everywhere, that turns out to be gaz...

Rubin was a pro-Turkey jewmerican until the "one minute" episode, later he turned anti-Turkey I should better say he is not pro or anti Turkey, he is pro-Israel

No VSTOL is very short take off and landing STOVL is short take off Vertical landing Hurjet cannot do vertical landing with some modifications, the design has to change from scratch. A complete new design aircraft would be needed. I do not know if it is possible though to modify the Hurjet...

They have conflicting interests. We do not have problems with German companies, they are eager to sell us what we want. Our problem is with German politicians, they want to block whatever they can (and they do, it is not MTU decision to stop engine deliveries)

Bence VTOL olamaz, VSTOL belki

Submarines are different, they are financed by German banks. And payment is over a long period If Germany cancels the subs, than there will be no payment to the German banks, is a shot in own foot!

Drones like TB2 though vulnerable are usefull any time, they are good scout's with high resolution day and night camera's they can take out supply logistics, they can take out tanks and give CAS (Close Air support) to ground troops. It is always better to have them, than not to have them

That's a bit strange to put it this way as Tubitak is not a production company but an R&D company / institute. Tubitak develops, companies like Roketsan, MKEK will produce. They are not competition but cooperating companies.

Good news comming soon tweets Polish defense minister (I wonder what news :) )

So are the Aksit's! Mahmut Aksit is prof. dr. and CEO of TEI. A nephew of his is professor at a Dutch university (prof. doktor engineer Mehmet Aksit), I've met and spoke with him on several occations. A very brilliant professor who has finished 2 Universities if I remember well, he is leading...

Hard to say, to be honest I do not think that the UAE exports much so the bulk of the income has to come from the UAE army. To a certain extend that can suffice but a company that cannot expand will in the end crumble (South Africa's Denel is a good example, a very good company suffered when it...

I have been chip designer at Philips Semiconductors, later I worked for a Japanese company (Yokogawa) and designed the pre-amplifying parts of instrument (circuit board design etc.). At Ericsson I've designed test setup's for DECT telephones, DECT = wireless phone in house and offices, it did...

Depents on what type of chips, you have all type of chips, logic chips, general purpose chips, op-amps. Unless it is a very specific chip I think most chips are imported, it is very easy to replace chips with some modifications to the printed cirquit board when a certain chip is not available...

Best advertisement of drones is real use in battles. (actually this count for most arms but not every arm can show itself so good, thanks to bombing vids on youtube / twitter) Just a couple of years back the world had only seen US drone actions against insurgents and being used for...

I know all of that, but a jet offers much much more versatility than a drone to make a one on one comparing anyway. If you compare drones you have to compare it against other drones in her class and if the drone is already at half price of a fighter jet you have to rethink seriously if it is...

On common logic. It makes no sense to have a drone at half price of a fighter jet. Your citing of US drones are completely wrong, the US uses her position in Nato to push their weapons upon "allies", utilizing CAATSA treaths. If Turkey want's to have a chance in drone market that drone has to...
