    Well, there are few prodcuts that we can compete well one of which is drones. And the defence industry is likely to grow a lot bigger. We are doing our own thing there. If you can focus on science and technology you don't need debt. Another 5 years and we can possibly have taken a big leap; from...

    I would rather have organic growth than growing on debt. Not all countries develop technology. Greece for exemple, nada. Same olive, same feta, same donkey, same Onasis, nothing added. Not to stir a debate but good example. Türkiye has low debt, developed industry, high quality real estates...

    Totally depends on exchange rate which can fluctuate depending on international politics. You shovel a good interest rate to lenders mouth and currency rate stays low and you seem to look good while you can only produce tomatoes and you are in endless debt. Türkiye has low debt and $33k PPP GDP...

    I've found this IMF GDP PPP estimates made on April 11. I scaled them by China on the fourth column and by Türkiye on the fifth column. I see that while Türkiye holds the 11th position now, 8th place is not very far away. I think we may see that in 5 years. 1 China 33,014,998 100.0 924.1...

    Baykar's capabilities stacked up rapidly. Their intial success fueled their confidence to move faster. But they are not the only ones. Predator drone inventor Abraham Karem had told that in their early days they could put a drone togather in just 3 months. Standards at those times were non...

    I don't want the 40 F16, I want the Kızılelma on fast track. And the TF6K engine to come online to power the following supersonic KE and Anka3 and possible others.

    Maybe 2 Kızılelma and 1 Hürjet can do the jon of an F16 I guess. We haven't yet seen their capabilities.

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

    It is the work toward mass production that is starting. The first Kızılelma to join the air force will probably be ready in a year so. In recent news we know that American companies could make a new manned fighter in less than 3 years. So it is not unexpected to see Kızılelma progress rapidly as...

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

    TB2 is compact and easier for ground handling while Anka is large and cumbersome for handling which matters for quick turnaround. Also Anka needs a ground radar for landing while TB2 doesn't afaik.

    Curious if abundant electric power can negate the need for natural gas power for home use; for heating, cooking, bathing which is powered by gas at the moment. What is the math?

    What are you saying? You don't find the space program of Türkiye realistic or what. Going to the Moon by crash landing a piece of equipment on the Moon is a lot cheaper than sending a man to the Moon's surface. The soft landing will come in the next step after the crash landing.

    A spaceport that consists of floating and land-based elements may be ideal. In Somalia a location with a port can be used for launch and ships can bring in critical elements like the rocket and fuel before a launch making the vulnerability of assets o threats minimal.
