There are supposed to be two more nuclear power plants planned but they will probably get going with the second one before they move on with the third one. Also the possibility of Thorium based nuclear can play a big role if the project advances to a mature state. I believe traditional fission...

Turkish Fighter 2023 (an English name marking first roll out year) / Andolu Kartalı (eagle) (name Ana+dolu / mother+full/filled , derived from Anatolia)

The production of TFX only needs to be completed before 18 March 2023 when it is planned to roll out of the hanger for show. The statement "the TFX engine will work in 2022" (which I had not heard before) should mean a static run of the engine installed on the plane at best (as opposed to an...
These latest news are inline with the timeline of the Malaysian LCA tender which is supposed to be finalized by end of March to early April. The progress and validation demonstrated will be a testement that our Hürjet will deliver the promise which in turn will give a better hand to it as a...
It is a positive thing that the prospect of our getting whole planes and update kits from the US is getting bleaker, we should only look into getting engines for our development planes and we will do the F16 upgrades ourselves.

Turbine engines are also internal combustion engines but TEI do not make them for planes.
And Ukrainian firms do not make piston engines currently.
(As opposed to external combustion engines which is basically a Sterling engine)
We don't need to stop Iran, if we do other problems will arise.
Iran can not get too strong as they are technology deprived, manpower alone does not make a big difference. We can not offer political support to Israel as Israel is a problem itself being expanSionist.
Option number 2 pretty much;
Although Türkiye and Iran have some friction in some areas we do not want to see Iran weakened as that invites instability in the region. On the other hand helping the Arab nations feel safe by offering some of our defense systems and providing them with the outputs...
This is ridiculous, US$ 263 mn per F16. How can a government agree to that. This is enslaving the population, making them work all their lives to pay the never ending debt that is spent to something that does not even have a reasonable return.
When they see a problem I am sure SSM will step in and iron out the kinks, weed out the weeds.
In the end our defense industry in in the flourishing phase and it is good to see that it is attracting more investment from private sector.
