I am so happy that our folks are undertaking such novel technology initiatives. But I would rather put the exoskeleton legs inside rather than outside.

What do you mean militarized, is it wielding a pistol or an assault rifle, wearing armor and all? I guess militarized only means it can continue lubricating the necessary parts while also turning a somersault.

Police! Freeze! You have the right to remain silent.

I don't think a Turkish company or any other company can sell Turkey anything at premium prices anymore. But the true deserved prices need to be evaluated by professionals not by the common man. Also making a big gap between domestic sales and the international market is not viable. Turkey has a...

Only a careful analysis can reveal the true value of Akıncı after it shows its true range of capabilities in the field.

I don't think that there is a blanket IP rights ownership in everything SSB orders. The prize of a product is determined based on a multitude of variables mainly determined by the effectiveness of the system and the cost of alternatives. It will definitely cost less for Turkey but not any less...

And your calculation is based on what?

The cost also depends on the number sold. MQ-9 Guardian is sold in smaller numbers (?) whereas Akıncı can be sold in higher numbers as it is not as strategic at this stage. Also the number and effectiveness of the systems on board multiply the value and can not directly be compared with others...

I would judge the plane by the pound as they make every pound count. Fully equipped and armed top model should be no less then $35mn per plane not including peripherals.

Nuclear weapons don't have to be big, they can be made smaller to take out a small town or a place like a large airport or an industry zone. Being smaller they can now be used more frequently if the enemy will not be able to respond with nukes or with a similar capacity assault.

Do they come with no strings attached or do they come at all.

US would give the F35 to Turkey dirt cheap if they could as it is a Trojan horse which would defeat Turkey from inside. One US general once said "We desperately need to give the F35 to Turkey".

Talking about hooks mean it is classical runway landing as the hooks are used to stop the planes horizontal movement. If they want a real vertical landing plane somewhat smaller than the Hürjet they can take my suggestion to use the TS1400 together with a small turbofan like the TF6000 to make a...

TS1400 has radial compressors which are not suitable for thrust generating engines. However different configurations were to be studied in the development process one of which may be suitable for turbofan development. The next time industry officials talk then we ask.

Grab it by its wings. This approach requires no alterations on the deck and on the plane. The two coordinated, AI supported stoppers calculate the runway available for landing, the planes landing path and positions themselves to counter the plane across its wings. Also the pressure that will be...

In a recent video TEI announced that the TJ300 and PG50 engines are being upgraded to longer maintenance interval specs opening the doors to them being used on reusable drones. Very good news if you are planning on making such drones or want to partner with or invest in a startup doing just...

This plane seems to be like an armed unmanned surface boat turned into a missile. That means it can float on water surface for a long time and can be deployed from there when needed. It is like our ULAQ and Atmaca combined.

It includes those mentioned bulletless systems but it does not consist of them only. Looking at the pictures there is a CIWS and a rocket system involved too.
