1800 smart ammo is a lot. Roketsan probably charges 100k $ per MAM-L. Baykar sells naked/flyaway TB2 for 5 million $. Roketsan is making a huge profit from that deal.

According to some sources Russia sells oil to Turkiye priced at 37 $ per barrel. Big if true.

TCG Anadolu is supposed to be delivered in 2022, and CENK-S is planned for the I class after it became evident that the I class will be delayed a lot. CENK-S will be ready late Q1 or early Q2 this year so you can see there is a time gap between the two platforms. The good thing is switching...

TF-31 means the first of the three (MMU, Kızılelma, Anka-3). Kızılelma should be TF-32 and Anka 3 should be TF-33.

I think we should name it TF-31 Yaraq which means "weapon" in old Turkish.

There is big money in mobile gaming. It is easy and cheap to code games for mobile phones and profits are huge.

30 F-35 costs around ~7 billion. Greece has to pay that amount as Greece needs to invest heavily in the infrastructure to operate F-35. 40 F-16V+ 79 upgrade kits+ an insanely big weapon package will cost ~13 billion if every clause is exercised. You guys can bet that cost will come down to...

Inside Sakarya Gas Field. Currently, all drilling activities are inside the Sakarya Gas field (light blue highlighted area).

A new gas discovery in the Blacksea will be announced in February or March.

BIST will bounce back long-term looks promising. BIST was 2400 points in June 2022. Now it is slightly under 5000. It doubled in 6 months. All people see is the recent 800-900 point loss because people buy a stock today and want to be rich tomorrow. And people buy at a high price and expect it...

https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmanl%C4%B1_padi%C5%9Fahlar%C4%B1n%C4%B1n_anneleri_listesi You claim 30 out of 32 had a christian background. Here is the truth. Don't take anything you read on facebook at face value.

BTW 2 squadrons+ prototypes+ spare engines mean we need around 100 engines. I hope TEI produces those engines in Turkiye.

Atak-2 is designed as a naval chopper and the navy will buy Atak-2.

I think Turkish-US relations will stay at the transactional frenemies level until the US understands there is a big power competition out there and the US might risk losing it by making an enemy out of Turkiye. Once the US loses its hegemon power status and the US dollar loses reserve currency...

Yeah, this is old news. TAI has to deliver the first MMU in 2029 at the latest according to the contract. This is the airforce requirement but that doesn't stop them to deliver the first fighter earlier. I think TAI will deliver the first fighter earlier than 2029.

Fleets? Do you mean squadrons?

I disagree. Turkiye will order something like 40 Atak-2 for the land forces and will call it a day. 120-140 Atak choppers are enough we have a huge UAV fleet. Specs ops, navy and air force might also order in small numbers. The Navy will probably eventually reach 16 choppers (8+8), spec ops...

The US doesn't want to be seen like the US authorities are helping the opposition and anti-US rhetoric is high in Turkiye a harsh report will likely contribute to Erdogan's election campaign.

Upgrades on Faz 2 is Faz 3. It is not named Faz 3 as there will be no new production but in time all Faz 2 choppers will be upgraded to whatever it will be called.

Yeah, we also probably want to show them the level we are at so that they can understand the situation better.
