I guess that will happen in due time.

They are just entering Navy service this year but their days as the only marine capable assault chopper in our possession are counted. I hope they get a well deserved retirement when they are done serving.

Finally a jet plane for Turkish modelers and other fans to model after proudly.

In doing what? People may think it is a good way of achieving national goals while pitfalls may lie on the way. I don't like to involve RR in engine development either as they may cause our engine independence to be put off while ensuring engine availability. It is a selection between two...

This kind of cooperation should not be allowed to block the way of totally indigenous development.

Being in the heart of defense industry SSB Chief Ismail Demir reportedly wants one big engine company rather than many small ones. Probably like MTU of Germany that makes all kinds of engines.

You also need to invest big money on a number of ICBM size rockets or better use reusable first stage. Or try lasers from high flying jets.

They do but they pass through the same spot 16 times a day and you can arrange your timing based on this information.

You are dismissing the possibility of a lesser rocket than an ICBM being able to hit a satellite. ICBM rockets are made to go to a distance as well as to a height. So the flight path is longer than that of a rocket that needs to go to a height but not a distance. If the satellite killer rocket...

Evidence to the claim that it takes an ICBM class rocket engine to shoot a satellite.

Any source or evidence to this?

We shouldn't involve foreigners in or engine development, it can have negative effects in the future. It is OK to get a good indigenous engine several years after the desired time frame. We can have UCAVs with domestic engine before too long which will likely cover 80% of our needs already.

Lets see if they can find and neutralize sea mines.

That slogan does not involve making every component in Türkiye but making the components that you don't have access to otherwise at home. Making everything at home means you fall behind those that utilize foreign components. Who in their right minds would do that.

Privatized ! ?

Probably a larger SOM (air launched cruise missile) based on Gezgin can be made for extended range, as there is no reason why not.

There is no way we accept F35 to be operated from Turkey, neither any that can be in our possession nor any in possession of other countries. F35 is dead in our region. S400 gives us that power. No amount of begging by the US will change this.

If the TF6000 is designed as a compact-power engine it should have a high compression ratio with 12-14 compressor stages. Considering TEI is good at blisk work this makes sense. This approach lends itself to engine cores that can power engines with a range of power levels. I am guessing it will...

As an outsider I have personally seen a turbojet model of an engine alongside the mockups of TS1400 at trade shows in Istanbul. That engine is supposedly evolved into a turbofan engine. So the time frame starts at the same time as the TS1400 or close to it. Look for images of TEI stand at...

İsmail Demir personally said so.
