It doesn't make sense for TAI to import engines when there is TEI. Baykar on the other hand is not a state company and can act like a private sector company can.

I heard many things but what I heard this SAHA EXPO tops it all. They said that they will sell threaded barrel pistols to civilians, I didn't believe that and I told the guy that I found it unbelievable. But he has the credentials to say the truth.

The picture 2021. Top 15 countries for their Total PPP GDP (in blue) and PPP GDP per capita (in orange). Turkey ranks 11th. Turkey has the potential to rise to 7th position in the medium term. An average American is twice as rich as an average Türk. To be able show very small and very large...

No, that's only until we can make our own, the threat comes from the US. EDIT: I was out in the cold when I made this post when I read the word "definitely" as "indefinitely" but the response holds its own for both cases.

How can you prove that it is useless when other countries are also buying them, you are simply bullshitting as you do not have any basis for your claims.

You know very well that they can be deployed in a matter of days anywhere you want to chose where and when they are needed. There is no need to deploy them before time.

Give up national production? That will not make any gains as the US has no interest in helping Turkey grow its power anyway. We can use the money to beef up our production and diversify our systems.

How did you want to cover the airspace in the 4 years until 2024 if it happens by then? Seems like you would just keep Turkey defenseless and crippled.

Temel Kotil was saying that a 60 passenger plane is the best fit for a new plane introduction as there is a vacuum in the market for such a plane. A plane that size can possibly be modified for patrol operations as well as tanker operations and possibly for some cargo operations be it civilian...

We should have our hands in quantum computing as well as optical and transistor based. I believe this can happen once we have become energy positive with our hydrocarbon and renewables investments and have some extra cash to invest in these technologies.

Yes of course as long as yo are on the positive gains you are good, but prices fluctuate. Several years back industry experts were saying that 65$ is the minimum that will make drilling profitable, today it is probably at $75.

You can't expect every bet to pay good dividends, that is how the world is.

Actually I am more interested in what components we will be using that are imported and if it can be made totally in Turkey. Looking at the specs it may very well be totally Turkish made I guess.

So, who is making this STM-500 Small-Size Submarine and what timeframe? In other words what foreign components are we using if any?

Pro Probably decisions were made by different powerhouses living in the same country.

80 million Americans have German descent.

Planes use lesser power in cruise than in take off, some of the power can be allocated to the radar during cruise. There needs to be a bigger alternator or some pre-charged battery capacity to supply power to the radar. Radar may also be used intermittantly to save power.

A bomber for delivery of precision missiles to long ranges. You never know what is enough and wether you need more. It maybe more suitable to carry missiles halfway before you release them for the rest of the way to fly on their on power. It differs from a drone in its payload capacity and speed...

A variant of TFX with two engines can be optimized for bomber tasks however one with four engines will be more capable carrying probably missiles as well for long reach. Looking at American, Russian and Chinese bombers.

It is probably just you being skeptical. The counterpart wants to make it easy and just deal with one party selling the package rather than many. So the vendor of the main platform acts as the main contractor and coordinates the delivery of the peripheral components that go with their product...
