Russia sold gas to Türkiye through a barter trade agreement.
Other countries came in to the picture only later when we already had long term agreements with Russia.
Aero derivative marine turbine from TF6000 and tank derivative piston marine engines from BATU , but what are they good for? Fast attack boats and USVs, what class can they power?
I would call Altay a fiasco if there was no BATU engine in the making.
Actually it is 10 -14 years that is mentioned by Mr Akşit. And they have already made their preliminary studies.
TF6000 might be the best kept secret by our industry but there were engines being developed from TS1400...
It started with the Syrian civil war which sent refugees through our borders.

One wants to fast forward time and get to past ramjets and space launchers when we have caught up with the tech leaders. I wish we enthusiast will all see those times in short order.

Turbines used in hydroelectric power plants are wastly different from turbines used in thermic eletric power plants. They don't even look like the turbines in the picture. It needs to be checked if the picture posted is accurate. There must be work underway for burner type turbines too as I...
MIUS / Kızılelma has a monocoque shell body while Hürjet has rivets all over it. I wonder if it is just because it does not need to be stealthy and rivets are better otherwise. AFAIK although it is riveted the skin sections are composite all the same.
