Price of diesel has nothing to do with the economy it is tied to the price of oil in the international market and the TR/USD exchange rate(currently 17.21). Minimum wage increase, state worker's wage increase and pension increase will fuel inflation. I expect TR to throw the towel this fall. We...

Only 10 out of 17 can be recovered from the ore as the ore only contains negligible/trace amounts of the other 7 elements.

Kara(Land) Atmaca is heavier(890kg vs 750kg) has more range (officially disclosed as 280km, estimated ~500km), and has an engine with more thrust(KTJ-3700). Coastal(Kıyı) Atmaca is the same Atmaca missile with an IIR seeker.

Now this one is big. Secretary of NATO mentions FETO Terrorism but again no YPG. YPG and FETO should be mentioned in official NATO documents as terrorism threats. We should aim for that. If it happens that will be a big gain. Gulen is reportedly on his death bed. May the Tengri grant him a...

It might be but the classic Turkish battery structure is 3 launch vehicles per battery. Hisar-A, Hisar-O, modernized AAA cannons, artillery, and SPA all of those have 3 vehicles per battery. Besides Atmaca coastal is built on a distributed architecture similar to Turkish air-defense batteries so...

It is a loss for us YPG and Gulen movement is not designated as terrorist organizations. Anything short of that is unacceptable. SDF is not even mentioned. As expected, the western press is selling this shit as a victory of Turkiye.

Turkish artillery is bombarding YPG targets and a big convoy of reinforcements entered the Euphrates shield area.

Atmaca coastal is the same Atmaca missile with an IIR seeker so I don't think there will be any problems when using those on navy ships. BTW Atmaca coastal batteries will be supported by Çakır coastal batteries.

TAF will buy 7 Atmaca coastal defense missile batteries from Roketsan. Each battery will have 3 launch vehicles with 4 missiles each which means 12 ready-to-fire missiles per battery and 84 total ready-to-fire missiles. I expect an order of 168 missiles(84+84 for reload) plus several training...

Yes, but the area was discovered decades ago. The discovery has nothing to do with the current government. The importance of the reserve grew exponentially with the increase in consumption of rare earth elements and a possible switch to thorium as nuclear fuel. As our boron reserves, this won't...

Fingers crossed for this to happen. Let's see who will guarantee the debts of EU countries.

The recently discovered reserve in Adana is not shale oil. It is a small shallow reservoir.

Those reports are highly doubtful. Reportedly regime forces are retreating to Raqqa.

BTW the recent discovery of 1 billion worth of oil reserves covers the needs of Turkiye for 12 days maybe 15 if we ration it well. Most of those reserves are known locations and closed in the past due to being not economically feasible to develop.

TAF electronic warfare systems are deployed to the Euphrates Shield area. It seems like we decided to play hardball against Russia.

At 694 million tons, Eskişehir Beylikova rare earth elements reserve is the second largest reserve after the Chinese rare earth element reserve of 800 million tons. Turkiye will be a colossal player in the rare earth elements business. Pilot production will start this year and results will be...

SAGE did the first ignition of the continuous-wave detonation engine prototype a few weeks ago. If there is a scramjet engine it has to be a prototype geared toward scientific studies, unlike the SAGE ramjet engine prototype which is an industrial product.

No later blocks will have lower RCS but it won't ever be a stealth aircraft comparable to the F-35.

KFX won't ever be full stealth that is why Korea is getting F-35.

Note that even though Austria put an embargo on Turkiye for Rotax engines it couldn't manage to enforce it in practical terms due to the nature of the product. Baykar continued producing TB2s with Rotax engines. Procured those engines via the open market. The issue with PT6 if it ever happens...
