    Both Imran Khan and Shahbaz Sharif are corrupt though I have to accept that Shahbaz is on another level as he is literally elected PM with a court bailout. Imran Khan was in a very difficult place before he is removed from the office. If let alone he most likely would have lost the election in...

    It depends. What kind of compressor is used axial or radial? How many stages the engine has in the compressor or turbine. We can't compare them without knowing more.

    Imran Khan will probably come back even stronger in the next elections and the next elections are right around the corner.

    Canada suspends exports of military drone technology to Turkey

    TB2 has 150kg payload capacity. It is enough for CATS(55kg)+4x MAM-L(22kg*4=88kg).

    Canada suspends exports of military drone technology to Turkey

    CATS weighs 55kg in the newest batch. It is 6kg heavier than MX-15 which is not that important.

    We should sell TB2s to Serbia. It is our product and we know it very well. If they use TB2 on Bosnians we can cut the support and we will probably directly intervene if they step up their shit. In that case, NATO will also be on our side.

    Akıncı uses Canadian engines, Hava-SOJ project will benefit from Canadian expertise. We are not dependent on them it is not vital for us but things will move more smoothly and faster with Canada on board. In the end we will achieve our goals with or without Canada but we will struggle less if...

    TR Casual Discussion TOGG - Türkiye's Automotive Joint Venture Group

    The price is not extremely high. I guess 4x2 200HP with 300km range will be priced at 25000$ (does it include tax?). If this price includes tax then it is a good value.

    It is probably limited to something like 180-200km/h. Wait until someone makes a software patch to remove the limit :D

    True. Erdo is also gaining another leverage against the EU by hooking up another regional energy source to the Turkish infrastructure. But wait until some other player uses PKK/YPG to attack the pipelines. KRG has no room to maneuver anymore and has to take steps against PKK/YPG. KRG can't turn...

    1) I don't care. It is not an obligation to use the reply button. 2) You said nothing at all. You said everything is normal. It is technical, Turkish subsystems cause delays because of testing requirements there is no malicious intent from the German side. This is not true the project was in...

    So according to you, everything is normal. Another 1-year+ delay is an expected outcome of an already massively delayed project. Germans have no malicious intent and covid delays(force major nothing can be done), and technical/testing delays(legal actions should be taken for those) are the cause...

    Today Yavuz drillship left the harbor to attach the production valve called Christmas tree to the first well of the Sakarya gas field. Now 3 of the 4 advanced drillships of the TPAO work in the Blacksea gas field. Fatih drillship is drilling a new exploratory well at the Gökçebey-1 location...

    I hope it does but nearly everyone I know speaks about huge delays even for the first submarine and gives 2023 as a likely date for commissioning.

    Yes, it does, but it is in development for MILDEN submarine project. Milden is planned for the 2030s. This is so important. I can understand a delay for the second third fourth submarine but I can't understand a year delay for the first submarine. It was on the verge of starting sea trials...

    Patrol ship my ass. This ship has a heavier weapon load than a Milgem. 76mm MKE naval cannon, Gökdeniz, Atmaca, Hisar-O+, Yalman turret(UMTAS,L-UMTAS, Cirit, Sungur). We can see the classical Turkish "we want the best of everything" approach here. Ok, let's construct a ship for patrol duties...

    %100 agreed. This is not a big problem for us as Blacksea, Sea of islands and Mediterranean are obviously smaller than Pacific, Atlantic or the Indian Ocean. Total underwater time is less important. Arguably a Turkish Li-Ion U-214TN can be better than a German AIP U-214 under those...

    It is too late for both of those. We got what we wanted from that project. We got ToT and we can complete those subs on our own albeit with delays. The new German government really hates Turkiye. There are openly hostile figures like Cem Özdemir in the German government. They won't miss any...

    BTW the president won't say we will look for other alternatives if you take it easy just for "technical" or "covid based" delays. https://www.yeniakit.com.tr/haber/baskan-erdogandan-almanyaya-sitem-isi-biraz-gevsekten-aliyorlar-1580373.html

    Covid is a "force majoure" Germans are pushing it forward to stall the delivery of the submarines and not to be sued back by TR. Even Erdo and defense minister Akar pointed out the games played behind the curtain in the past. Nobody in Turkish admin buys the covid excuse. It is surprising to me...
