Everybody wants to screw everybody else, but the uncouth childish diplomacy language and attitude of AKP, along with its attempts to build soft power in middle-east by showing teeth to the west, has lead to a tarnished image of our country, which helps form public opinion abroad and make it...

I immediately ignore any video that has these words in its title as pure junk: "Turkish", "American" (instead of Turkey and U.S., for instance they write: "Turkish amazes the world". :ROFLMAO:), "shocked the world", "amazes the world", "US surprised" , "finally", "incredible", "unbelievable"...

This was a really lovely documentary; recommend it to everyone, showcases the idealism and patriotic spirit in a more genuine and personal way and harbors many messages for some of the young generation of this country who have an injudicious sense of hopelessness and passivity.

goddam it, journalists are an illiterate bunch.

Can this potentially be a Chinese front operation to examine the drones?

Don't wanna get too political but as it pertains to Bayraktar, I just want to add that what Babacan said about competition and government's equal treatment of defense companies is pure bs btw; it's just a very naive laissez faire way of looking at the world. Big technological companies are...

Yeah well, Elon Musk is going to be on Mars back in 2021. As someone who is very well-acquainted with the history of AI and its nature, I'm very skeptical of claims on General AI. But limited AI assistance already happens in 4.5, 5th gen fighters and ground control is something planned for all...

The Bayraktar brothers answer questions regarding Kızılelma, what the first flight of a first prototype means, its capabilities and how it compares to an F-16 or even F-35 in an unfortunately disingenuous and exaggeratory ways to appeal to laypeople. They have also created this perception...

Possibly a prophylactic move to pressure them to walk back on concessions they may think Syria is going to give to Turkey. But apart from that, both Iran and Syria are in horrible conditions internally, this is the best time to get the utmost amount of concessions and if they don't give it, then...

There was very much a sense of urgency in the testing phase as they were done before Soviet collapse, as can be seen in the ASMET procedures and making of 14 testing prototypes and the required facilities to test 14 prototypes simultaneously. I very much doubt TEI has the infrastructure as of...

That is also almost impossible as I state here:

The first F404 is on its way and will be delivered in a couple of days for the Hürjet prototype, as stated by Tolga Özbek here:

That's fake news. She is Ivanna Plantovskaya, just a normal secretary in the press service of the Southern Regional Directorate of the State Border Service of Ukraine, not a military personnel. She's also a model. If you look for the name Ivanna Platovska, you'll see that only dumbass Turkish...

Anka (عَنْقَاء‎‎) is the Arabic version of Konrul from Turkish mythology (equivalent of Greek/western Phoenix, Persian Simorgh (سیمرغ, lit. thirty birds). So Anka would be a really bad name for a Turkish fighter jet. Konrul on the other hand I can understand. But I still think you can just name...

I don't think TF is necessary. Just call it F. F1 in fact, as our first fighter, disregarding Hurjet which is a later project anyway. You can have a name for a potential series like Kartal or something, to differentiate from Mirage; TAI Kartal F1.

Mahmut Akşit has stated in multiple interviews that the preliminary schedule for the first TF6000 prototype was the first half of 2023, but that will probably be delayed into late 2023 (due to supply chain issues, not embargoes per se) and that for them to start on the production of TF10000 they...

Kızıl Elma and Hürjet in terms of their engine needs are absolutely incommensurable. Hürjet is a trainer and trainers do crazy hours and need very sturdy engines with regards to their repairability (and we know how Soviet tech fairs compared to western engines in this respect). Another issue is...

There were like 14 prototypes I think made for EJ200 for accelerated simulated mission endurance testing, helping compress thousands of hours of testing to a couple of years and this was one of the fastest engine development programs afaik from a company with the kind of pedigree we all know and...

Some of you guys have bad taste; the prototype looks 10x better than the bland mock-up. I love Su34 because of its duck nose, and the nose is a bit similar here; it's obviously much more like F-35 but the top is a bit flatter which I like aesthetically. Size-wise, it's all about the camera zoom...

AFAIK there's only a small group working on that, and it's done using internal funding. It's like Hürkuş and the people who compare it to MMU and predict the same lengthy development woes, not considering like there's literally just 2 guys testing that thing.
