    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    And Mrs Akşener was thinking KK is unlikely to win, shame on her. The truth is although RTE won all the elections he entered and KK lost all the elections he entered there is something different this time and KK wins against RTE by a 10% points margin. Lets just wait and see then.

    Türkiye has more interests in places than its continuous waters alone. You want to transfer your technological capabilities to your power projection abilities. We are not afraid of troubles when we need to protect our interests.

    I am thinking HMS Queen Elizabeth's 65.000 ton weight is as far as it goes with an aero-derivative petrol burning engine readily available. Beyond this point you would need nuclear propulsion. She is using 2x 36 MW turbines for power generation if we follow a similar path we can power a 55k ton...

    President Erdoğan says "one times bigger" which means twice the size. TCG Anadolu is 27436 tonnes so we are talking about 55000 tonnes. I take this as a balpark value and give it 10k tonnes which gives 65k tonnes which is the weight of HMS Queen Elizabeth.

    There was work going on with PEEK composites and the officials should know the value of it. I believe there is work on 3D printing of PEEK too. They should bring it to light when it is ripe.

    I have such a script that I had coded many years ago that I used to calculate my patent application fees. With one click it adds groups of countries on the map or wipes them clean and also recalculates their total population and share of world economy and such. But it uses pure java script and...

    Any engine can be tested. TF6000 and TS1400 should be first and TF10000 should come after. Please note that TF6000 is not ready yet.

    We have many years of rail gun development work already which uses similar technology. We also use land based arresting gear already, I am not sure who developed that but we have MRO experience as a minimum. Türkiye can make a 5 gen fighter but can not make arresting gear, that is absurd.

    Who gave that technology to the US and to China ? Probably their hard work which we have plenty of ourselves.

    There is no telling that a similar scenario to what SK went through will work for us. We need to put more effort in to developing our own technology without waiting for someone else to initiate us to it. There are scientific work going on in the world to convert heat directly into electric power...

    A nuclear submarine is only viable when we have a good reactor technology already fully developed for our power generation needs. Once you have the technology it is only natural to use it for marine propulsion, Molten salt reactors is our best bet yet.

    As they are not meant to be built at the same time they will reflect the capabilities of their time. I would say they would be on average 5 years apart over 20 years. They should cover operations in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, around Africa and reaching Indonesia.

    I have been wishing for 2 LHD and 2 full size carriers but it is all about realizing the potential. If things go well you can go for more if not you chose the affordable. Our technological development and requirements to protect our interests along with budgetary possibilities will play their...

    As projects get completed they fall off the calculated budget I guess hence the $60bn.

    Not the defence budget but the projects volume.
