    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    What do you think about Ericsson, Nokia and Philips? All of them were global tech leaders of their time but are now a mere shadows. Could this not happen to any of our defence companies based on their own or state decisions? But closer to heart, didn't poor state decisions doom our defence...

    TECHINT The Importance of Intelligence Organizations Providing TECHINT Shields in the Turkish Defence Industry

    You miss the point completely. It is simply irrelevant if Özmen is Turkish or not. SNC is an American company and that is all that matters since they have to follow American laws and as such, must follow whatever decision America takes as they are in no position to take independent decisions. No...

    I really don't know him or care about him but he does not automatically become Feto because he criticizes some projects. It is his right to do so and I don't think it is right to shut down every criticism with the "wolf is coming" argument. However, he does come forwards as an old girlfriend...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Think Genghis Khan for historical connection. Others have translated Khan/Kaan but the full name translates to brave/strong/unbeatable leader/Emporer/ruler in Turkish. Both Cengiz and Kaan are very common names in Turkey, although the combined Cengiz Kaan is unusual.

    Honestly, most of these claims are childish. He seems to lack strategic thinking on a lot of levels. 1. A tax exemption that applies to anyone who does an investment, is not a financial support of a company. It is simply the law applying to anyone. Also, Tusas having idle production capacity...

    It can, Turkey rejected the limitation and manufacturer where forced to remove such limitations.

    I don't know and don't really care as long as we have an up-to-date defence instead of trailing the world for another century due to irrational politics aimed at dividing the country. But if you are that interested then you can always apply for one of the open positions at Fergani or Baykar or...

    He did not invent 7th gen fighter jet yet but he is LITERALLY inventing 6th gen air-force in front of your eyes right now. What do you think Fergani Space Technologies is aimed at? Some internet connection for some poor kids in Africa or real-time control over his 5th gen drones? When this is...

    The first time I see him but he absolutely seems to belong to the lower spectrum of the Dunning–Kruger-effect, deliberate or not. It was kind of fun to listen for a few seconds but please spare us his next video.

    Most likely as they would have done their homework about Turkish drones before deciding on a specific platform. However, I think 2-3 TB2 initial purchases would be a good deal for them before choosing the bigger platforms. 10-15 million on a good test bead is peanuts for them. Also, I think...

    It could simply be for testing their capabilities for surveillance with the end goal of purchasing TB3 when it is ready. But I agree, Aksungur should be their best option.

    Turkish war doctrine is based on 2.5 simultaneous war theatres as we know that neither arabs, greeks, armenians or kurds will sit it out once the shit hits the fan. They will all try to grab as much land as possible in a potential war in Turkey. The 0.5 is internal dissidents supported by the...

    TR Baykar - News

    The simple answer is that there will always be other peoples code to control anything from camera, engine, mission computers or just about anything in today's world. It simply take 100000s of people to develop "everything" in an air-craft. It is simply not possible for ANY company and would be...

    It is not like they lack Sterling coolers as they are not to difficult to produce. It simply is a design choice. Some of the benefits are lower mass, no need for a battery for the cooler and less electronic noise. On the other hand, it is a lot more cumbersome to handle but a liter of N2 can...

    There is already an innovation in plain sight on this subject. It is called Starlink which allows gigabit communication, very low latency and to top it of, you have a AESA radar in the sky rendering all 5th gen fighters fully visible. From Mr Sunnetci's article today, it seem like Ukrainians...

    Where did you get these numbers from ? I hardly think that neither Russians or the Ukrainians are going to share such information and any guess work from Twitter is utterly useless. Also, what does the number represent? Is 50% of engaged targets destroyed or 50% of all fired Russian missiles...
