This is sad, even Iran has a 1500hp engine

physics may remain same but there is a thing like aerodynamics, the shape of a plane determines whether it is a fast plan, stable plane, unstable plane or a slow plane with huge lift properties. Think a bit like the paper planes that we all have made when we were kids, fold a plane in a bit...

I don't know but your "calculations" don't look like calculations but estimations. You assume that TB2 will be more or less the same as TB3. How would you know whether TB3 has not more wingspan and wing area? TB3 which is 2x the weight of TB2 must be different, where does that weight come from...

None the less Baykar company has of course some advantages and foreign (example Ukrainian) companies prefer to partner Baykar cos they know there will be some political benefits attached. But that is OK, any company uses political leverage, US companies have complete lobbies in the senate. Some...

That's a childish Greek origine infographic to make themselves feel good. It is not a secret that Baykar used also OEM products in their design. I mean how smart is it to develop a light bulb instead of using a light bulb that you can buy everywhere. In all products there are some OEM products...

Oh stealing is OK as long as it is not more than Otokar. and than we ask what is wrong with this country, with this mentality we simply deserve it.

It was ASFAT producing the Firtina for $4.2mln. Now they do not even tell at what amount BMC is producing the Firtina, why? It has suddenly become a secret? Same factory, same personnel is producing it under BMC. Can any of you with straight face tell the price is nearly the same or with some...

I wonder what these "defenders" of BMC has to answer that a factory of ASFAT is taken en given to BMC. And that factory is producing now the howitzer and tank. What is the plus value of BMC here? They are investing 50mln into the factory while eating up billions, wow what a good deal!

Why are defenders of this non transparant issue always bringing up Otokar, is there no FNSS and or ASFAT? Is Ethem going to tell what kind of robbery he is doing? SSB is the responsible institution who has to be transparant here, they are the institution who are the purchasing department. Not...

Oh smart calculus without tender, just to defend a whole process without any transparancy. We have to trust the words of Ethem the saint.

Why should the price be secret (unless a robbery is going on)

So it is Ethems job to announce the tender revelations. Why has SSB kept mum, never announced the tender results? A bit shame perhaps? The whole process stinks from all sides. One thing you are correct, there is indeed a robbery going on

$18mln per tank is not for free. and Rheinmetall did not drop out because of the price, they did so because Germany did not allow. Why are you pretending the Germans left because of price, which is freakishly high

BMC with her Israeli products is everything anti to what SSB stands for, that's why I have a dislike otherwise why would I be against the company as I have no stake in any of them

I don't believe the design belongs to BMC. Kirpi and Vuran are Israeli designs. It makes me unhappy that Otokar and FNSS are victimized for this company who is against everything SSB is standing for (nationallization / independence)

Don't want to sound mean but did Baykar buy those jackets from BIM?

True, the flight deck is shorter but check out the flight decks of the Aircraft carrier, they do not use longer landing and take off paths.

Could it be that pilotless Hurjet = Goksungur?

This is what Russia plans the new aircraft carrier Varan Varan = 250m long, and 65m wide compared to TCG Anadolu = 232m long and 32m wide The main difference is being wider and having more space to land, I do not see reason why this problem cannot be solved by using OKIS system for...

These are technical details that can be solved (by using for instance 2 different arresting systems, one for Hurjet, one for drones) Hurjet and Harrier have approximately same size, just to have an idea the picture below
