What if some fuel is saved to reignite in re-entry. It maybe harder to pull off but then you would not rely on weight to gain speed.

With self driving cars car sharing can become a thing which will reduce the number of cars on the road. Many people will even take electric scooters and all. Other transportation options are also rising like air taxis. So number of cars will come down.

We are entering the electric car era, our petrol consumption will probably be cut by half in a decade.

I bet some smaller missile can do a similar job at a shorter range, for the sake of ease of ownership. We need ranges of 1000km, 2000km and 3000km to deny the seas around our region to hostile carriers. And surely shorter ranges for smaller ships.

We need ballistic missiles that can take out carriers, not necessarily by sinking but by de-capacitating the fight deck.

When Saudi Arabia goes dry that $1 bn number will mean a lot. If we can find a couple of dozens of similar reserves we will be good.

We will steamroll the enemy.

What happens when cheap petrol flows in from across the border.

Ukrainian engines for the T29 project will be produced in Türkiye. Most probably TEI will make them.

There was only a post on the web stating that and there was no objection to that post. That's why I included a question mark in my post meaning that it is not certain. Mind the next posters post that claims TEI have license for almost all the engines, like I did.

That is like some confidential piece of information I guess as we have not been informed publicly of such a deal.

Motor Sich have an agreement with TEI (?) to produce the Atak2 engine in Türkiye. As such they do not need a production facility but only an engineering presence in Türkiye.

What do you do if you can not pull something off immediately, do you just give it up and kill the effort or keep on trying. What makes you think BMC has failed the effort. I highly doubt your allegation that BMC did not carry the project through to success.

With all the enmity Erdoğan faced from foreigners and from some of his own people what he delivers is way beyond anyone can ask for.

@Oublious Map updated with Burkina Faso.

Everything looks real but the bottom part of the cockpit front is flat and looks unreal.

Why should they make a new mockup while the actual prototype is counting days to emerge. Must be for ground test as it does not have a pitot tube on the nose or anywhere.

The cost of transporting gas from a longer distance must be born by the vendor country, meaning less profit for them. Their other option is selling gas to Russia at cheap prices which they do.

Detonations engines and scramjets come to mind. Now that the ramjet work is ripe we can expect progress in these two areas. It may still be at a very readiness level but once you have your one foot in the door you can as well get both of them before long. I am wishing for detonation engines for...

What if they manage to make it such that it does, it is a small plane, anyway.
