This is not true. The US sells ESSM to MoD but not SSB. Similarly, the US sells VLS to MoD but not SSB. SSB projects are embargoed, MoD projects are not.

2500 Nm suggests that they aim to provide a transmission solution for IFVs and APCs up to 40 tonnes.

PKK/YPG youth organization Ateşin Çocukları (Boys of Fire) calls for action.

One of my acquaintances was in the delegation that visited tank palet.

This is wrong BMC knew it before the tender. A BMC delegation visited Tank Palet factory before the tender.

3 people were caught redhanded in Prince Islands/Istanbul before they can start a fire. One of them is Australian and two of them are Turkish citizens. https://www.aykiri.com.tr/istanbul-adalar-da-3-kisi-benzin-bidonlariyla-yakalandi-teror-orgutu-baglantilari-cikti/13223/

They successfully sold the issue as racial hatred. In fact, the feud between families goes back to ten years ago for various reasons(land, animal disputes, kid fights etc) and multiple court cases continue.

Eco-terrorism continues.

Arrows point out Syrian intelligence Al-Muhaberat, PKK/YPG, the youth organization of PKK/YPG Ateşin Çocukları(Boys of fire), DHKPC, and Acilciler(Radical communist terrorist organizations) co-organizing some of the recent forest fires. 98 forest fires started in several days, 88 of them are...

We are looking for an engine in the 150lbf class(confirmed). Initial Kuzgun will use Pratt-Whitney Tj-150-3 engine(rumor).

True and in the latest iteration of the TJ-300, the diameter of the engine was reduced from 240mm to 224mm without sacrificing the thrust(1342N). Those values are world-class. I heard a rumor that initially, Kuzgun will be powered by a Pratt-Whitney TJ-150-3 150 lbf engine. TEI has no engine at...

Hourly flight cost of Turkish drones. Bayraktar TB2: 925 $ Anka: 1.565 $ This is extremely cheap compared to manned aircraft.

Damn, we are ahead of the schedule. Development is farther away than my previous data. The first complete cooled MCT HD sensor package (ROIC, FPA, Cooler) will appear in 2022 which means there is probably something in the lab as of today.

AVL signed a technical assistance contract, not a commercial procurement contract. Both types of contracts come into effect after the company gets an export license from its own country. The contract was terminated by Tümosan after Austria put a lot of strings to the possible export license so...

They have ready off-the-shelf engines that belong to the Soviet era. Some of them are decent(Al-322, TV3/VK-2500, I don't like Al-450) and can be used if no western alternative is available. Other than that we can outsource some work packages to them. We might get design help. Maybe procure...

I don't know what Ivchenko-Progress will provide us when we are ahead technologically.

Order and delivery are not the same things. You put an order and get the export license first. Once the export license is granted revoking it will be harder. As there will be a commercial contract with MTU. Buying MTU engines from Germany is not the same as signing up for F-35. They can't stop...

Lira gains value because of diaspora Turks and tourists. 1+ million diaspora Turks are inside TR for the summer holiday and they are spending Euros and dollars but this won't be enough to save TL. It is like drop in a bucket. Once the tourism season passes dollar will gain incredible value...

Technically we can but I don't think it is in the realm of the possibility. We can use other UAVs, Navy warships (stationed in the international waters), or Peace Eagle as relays(signal repeaters) to operate TB2s.

The real important thing is production capacity. Producing an electric car is easy. Mass-producing electric cars is hard.
