The igniter is likely to be in the role of a spark plug used to start the combustion and does not have anything to do with providing air for the combustion, so ram air is still required. By the way Akıncı's top speed is mach 0.296 and SOM has capabilities to start at various altitude and mach...

I don't think Akıncı launching SOM is a myth.

Because the turbine engine is started by the ram air coming through its inlet the plane has to be fast enough to provide enough pressure. Akıncı tops at 362 km/h.

The reality unfolded before our very eyes, there is no room for speculation. Israel asked F35 not be given to Turkey and so happened. When you explicitly activate a kill switch that is the and of your weapons sales, you can not sell your products anymore.

This ultimately happened because of Israels pressure that F35 shouldn't be made available to Turkey. This worked for us as we knew that F35 would only give us trouble and nothing else. We only made it easy for them to make a decision buying the S400.

The situation with the F35 has a lot more to do with us being a player at several conflict zones and making rapid progress in defense industry than buying the S400. This would happen regardless of the S400 purchase.

Keep in mind that in the case of the US such an approval mechanism worked against American interests many times. We can not bond our hands with a strict mechanism. But we will do due diligence for every sales case.

The navy that wanted the F35 is no more. F35 is an American plane and will not work against America's wishes. We want a plane that will fulfill every wish of ours.

We don't need F35B. we will operate our UCAVs from our runway ships instead.

Higher altitude and higher speed is probably more valuable.

OK, I understand that FNSS will stop using Tümosan powerpack but why? Pardon my ignorance. :LOL:

I haven't watched through the whole video but at some point he says the vehicle is completely indigenous with all elements made locally (including engine and transmission).

They can customize their engine to your application.

Raise your hands and surrender and you will build very good relations with western suppliers. But then you don't need an army at all, go ahead and disband it which is what a different government will effectively do.

We rock! We are only getting to the position that we deserve as a nation; fitting for our population, our relations and our past.

Demand does not explain the whole picture about trade numbers suppliers competitive advantage also plays a role hence the resulting unforeseen higher number for exports.

The pandemic didn't hit Turkey as hard as it did other countries. Our exports is at all time high expected to exceed targets reaching $210bn. Our unemployment is down 2% at 10.6% (?) Our economy is ticking

Risk and profit are siblings, you need to be willing to take the risk to earn the possible profit. One need to be happy that it is a private company situation rather than a public one. Isn't it unbelievable how infrastructures of the nation are still being built while viruses ravage the world...

Turkey is a maker of helicopters and we get to buy engines at maker prices and not export customer prizes. Each engine should cost around $1mn for us. We are not having capable machines because we are rich but because we can make them cost effectively. People should be thankful that the...
