I would be one of the least on this forum wanting foreigners to rule us. SSB certainly make things that make us proud, but that should not lead to a blind eye to less acceptable practices. 100 good's does not wipe away one wrong. The wrong remains too.

Looks like Aksungur has the same type of SAR radar dome on the belly as the ANKA. With SAR the situational awareness and tracking of targets will increase immensely. That could mean that one SAR drone can find targets and a bunch of other drones following, be it ANKA or TB2 take out those...

You know exactly what I mean, and yes SSB is not as independent as it once was. Murad Bayar isn't wasted just for nothing

SSM did that, but since a few years it is SSB. Not independent but tied to the big boss, doing what big boss want to

What about armor, endurance, strength? I too want a 99% if possible 100% Turkish armor, but let face it Otokar and FNSS both have had their vehicles on tests for years and successfully exported them, meaning they are good! If there would be a real tender with real testing them out, than yes of...

In numbers also the amount of shipping is declining, one of the arguments is / was to relieve the straits from increasing shipping (it is not increasing but decreasing!)

Not sure whether this is posted before, but it is the best description of what Montreux is. I recommend everyone the watch it

TB2 production continues, as far as we know the Rotax engine is still used. Apparently no problem in deliveries.

Get 3 more Ethem's and you kill the whole Turkish defense industry

Looks like a normal TB2, but probably TB3 will not differ much

Invite her to the forum, I have already a good nickname for her: Angel of death

I see a lot of your arguments that is like out of the blue, without explanation how 1) It will bring in riches from foreign countries. One of the key points that is doubtful as it is build next to a free gateway called Bosphorus. Hoping that captains are generous enough to take the Paid way is...

I do not require a long list, give me 5 solid benefits is enough! Putting myself into the shoes of other side is again a partizanship thing, my side it the Turkish state and I do not give a fuck about all the parties. For me this is not a party issue, but an existential benefit or burden for...

No you cannot calculate everything, if I knew the world will end in 5 months I would quit my job, take a huge bank loan and live the rest of my days like a king. We cannot calculate everything but we have to calculate the basics, did you see any calculation I am not aware of? What we...

Again assumptions, no calculations. Just betting that things go 100% favorable. And yeah forgive me if I do not have the highest expectation of our government leaving very little profit margin to contractors (who guarantee their investments with minimum passage clauses, that makes Turkey pay...

Why would charging cause a que? Payments go automatically by bank transfers, all ships who want a passage transfer beforehand the fee, it is not like a gate where cars stop and pay cash. I think this argument is invalid. 2) continues traffic, yes that is a positive thing but why would it be...

That is also said when building the bridges and highways. Yet there is a reality, no any foreign investor invest money without "guarantees". They will only come and invest when the state takes away risk and guarantees (like with the bridges and highways) a minimum amount of passages and that the...

What I personally fear (aside the environmental damage, several lakes will be salt water contaminated and Istanbul has already a huge water scarcity problem) this canal will be build by foreign investors who will demand (like with the bridges) a certain amount of ship traffic. All ships that do...

Seriously who thinks a canal is a good idea? I know there are ideas to alter maybe the Montreux, but why do you need a Canal to alter Montreux? And if Montreux stays than you have a canal where you ask passage toll while a few kilometers further there is a free entrance, doesn't make much...

That's not only the case for Baykar, no one will have a flying car before 15 years. It is not about the tech to make it fly but all the regulations to ensure safe flights that are non existing. Otherwise the demonstrator of Baykar is already flying
