    On TAI twitter account it says 60 hours in the last 72 hours which means it may not be 60 hours continuously but a total of 60 hours. I think they wouldn't write 50 hours in the brochure if it has actually flown 60 hours straight. Needs clarification.

    On the Aksungur brochure that is served on TAI website the flight time is written as 50 hours. There is no evidence that Aksungur has flown 60 hours straight. In previous interviews TAI officials have said that the 49 hour flight time is expected to be increased to 55 hours. In another...

    Why was/is the British army so capable?

    Money and minds supporting the Brits found it useful to make their bets on them.

    That's off the top of my head. The founder Gökhan had given an interview with the Airmap company a few months back. The guys name means Skylord.

    Fire departments have a very hard time putting out electric car battery fires as far as we see from news. But the risk level of fire hazard and battery energy density can be traded as it varies by the amount of Cobalt in NMC/Graphite batteries that Aspilsan is producing.

    There isn't a publicly known price for Firtina either AFAIK and the ammunition is provided by the Turkish MKE munitions enterprises. Pricing should be somewhere between Western and Chinese makers' prices. The Firtina hasn't been sold to foreign buyers yet because of the German engine sanctions...

    Hisar A+ is good for the purposes you mentioned but I have no idea how it performs compared to HQ-7B. Also there is "Korkut CIWS" for very low flying targets up to 4km to complement Hisar A+. HQ-78 is only used by China, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Bangladesh and Algeria despite the 30+ years...

    Because we don't know what the price is. You need to tell what exactly you want to buy so that they can make you an offer. Price changes by the amount of the purchase. Also earlier customers get a discount I believe.

    But how fast can the 2.8lt engine let the Fırtına speed when the batteries are depleted? A tank is a different beast, while the howitzer can sit in the same place for extended periods of time a tank needs to move faster and longer. Altay can have the 1000hp to 1500hp engine and add electric on...

    That possibility is there and it is a good thing it will ward off F35's from our skies. In the meantime we are developing our own systems and once they are done we can pack away our S400 systems for occasional resort.

    The past 12 months is $207.5bn. But this period is not between the beginning and end of the year, so that figure will be a little different.

    Aeroderivative marine turbines typically have 80% commonality with their aero originals. I reckon some of TEI's engines can branch off to marine if it is convenient considering also the GE marine turbine deal.

    Kind of. If the plane is fully loaded and its altitude is not high and the airport is far away there may be a risk that the remaining engine gets overworked and fails. Therefore it is good to have more airports. Passenger planes can glide for more than 120 kilometers even if both of their...
