Dear members: 1. Watch your language when addressing your fellow members. 2. Refrain from writing nonsensical posts like Turkey condones on the spot executions. 3. This is your last warning. Those behaving contrary will be banned.

Actually I read it well. Also looked in to TUIK graphs in local currency expenditure which were given as an alternative. My point was to do with TUIK’s results being in TL over a ten year period not showing true %ge values. I took google’s dollar inflation value compared with today’s. It gave...

Who says US healthcare is better than ours? %ge of GDP spent is the better criteria. That is all. Read before making untrue statements please. Spending more doesn’t necessarily mean better. Having said that although it is a very fragmented and layered unequally set up system, the US...

These TUIK graphs are no more than self satisfaction and self gratification graphs. 1 dollar was 2.86 TL in 2011 1 dollar was 29.00 TL in 2023. Also dollar lost 43% of its own purchasing value during that time. So if you take 1/10th of the TL spending in 2023 multiply it with 0.43 ; you will...

Why do you think with blinkers and in two dimensions. Think wide and in 3D. What you are suggesting is for Turkey to be producing f16s. Not F35/F22 equivalents. In KAAN we have done the latter. Increase country’s educational level. Produce more scientists not clergies. Educate masses in the...

The additive technologies are not currently used in the manufacturing of HP turbine blades. These are the blades that are subjected to extreme heat. Hence need single crystal tech. The conventional fabrication process for single-crystal nickel-based superalloy materials is directional...

I agree with your second paragraph fully. My only addition would be the introduction of a EJ200 engine as an alternative. Since ITP of Spain has been instrumental in the development of a single engined and TVC version of this engine, it could be an alternative to F404. But it would still delay...

That being said, the real issue still stands; where is the guarantee that these engines are going to be delivered?

So you are either saying that : 1. they are lying to us and they won’t intentionally produce more than 4-5 per year. Or, 2. they are lying to us because they won’t be able to deliver the first B10 planes in 2028. Or, 3. They intend to sit on their laurels with respect to serial production until...

Demiroglu’s and Kotil’s own comments. 2 per month production level is what they have been boasting. Then over 4 years … You do the math. Yes we know there is going to be at least 20 KAANs with F110 engines. And in reality we don’t want anymore with those engines. But if they are going to start...

From 2028 till 2032, until first domestic engined KAAN is delivered in 2032, there will be 40-60 KAANs produced with F110 engines. That is 90-130 engines from US (including spares). Those engines need congressional approval. Hurjet for TurAF needs at least 100 F404 engines. They too need...

One thing I would like to know why none of these interviewers ever ask the guy : “You are planning to serially produce Hurjet and Kaan. But have you guaranteed Supply of engines for these planes?“

Big problem with Ukraine is that the PAC-3 missiles they use that successfully intercept the Iskander and Kinzhal missiles are running out. US cant produce enough of them to meet the numbers needed. Russians are saturating the battlefield with these so called hypersonic missiles. They are...

As per the insinuation of the top Russian military man, Sergei Shoygu; it is more important to build weapons to sink aircraft carriers than actually building them. We should take a page from that statement and look in to any new aircraft building programs we are aspiring to endeavour. By the...

With 10.6 million population and 290 billion dollar GDP they are similar to Greece in population and 20% richer in GDP. I guess their naval security is not amongst their priorities. But being a NATO member country and having to spend 3% to 5% of their GDP on defence, they are “expected” to spend...

Bro, @Anmdt had clarified few years ago that Istif Class had found its natural size and weight limit in TCG Istanbul. So anything bigger and heavier is not going to be Istif Class. Portuguese are looking for various classes of ships from 4000 tons up 5000 tons to 6000 tons; probably 2 each...

Is it worth to spend all that money to propel 6-7kg of HE round for a further 35-40km when you won’t be able to expend them as easily as conventional 155mm rounds? (300-400 dollars vs in excess of 100000 dollars at best)...

@BaburKhan , Whose carrier strike group you are planning to locate to attack? Around the world below countries possess these strike groups: USA, UK, France, Italy, China, India. (Russia only has one carrier that has been out of commission for years) All of these countries apart from Italy are...

This is the level of democracy in China. One party rule is not democracy. One man rule is dictatorship. China has got a lot to learn from Europe. If it weren’t for the cheap labour that attracted Europeans and western companies, China would still be struggling at the fringes of Asia. The very...

Exactly. I love his Symphony No 41 Jupiter. Somehow there is something about this and Beethoven’s 1st that sounds where classicism and romanticism overlap. Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony Eroica , 6th the Pastoral and the 5th The Fate and the 9th the Choral are real monumental masterpieces in amongst...
