https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-05/turkey-in-talks-to-sell-izmir-alsancak-port-operating-rights-to-gulf-investors Alsancak is being sold, not even a tender this time. The price was 1.2 bln € in 2007, let's see how the terms will look like today and for how long it will be...

1. Not sure if its a statement in the direction of Turkey to kindly supply them or if they are actually getting them, based on that statement. 2. Engine and Transmission problems probably wont affect an order for Ukraine because they are going to Ukraine. All gloves are off as you now, when it...

Dont expect companies to do any favor to anyone if its not worth it to them. Don't confuse them with our state enterprises.

Koc is working with multiple car OEMs and wouldnt risk their existing partnerships and cash cows for it. Understandable from their POV. I hope they join forces on chips.

Copying ASML, means copying decades of research and operational excellence not only at ASML, but the optics from Carl Zeiss or Lasers from Trumpf. In the past China (and Taiwan, Japan, S. Korea) bought foreign technology in the west and went from there, building their own industries and...

Firing 600k missiles at a 50k drone is insane. I hope that our own products will be cost-effective.

Solar at 4.7% is bad, way to low.

Let me ask a somewhat related question in here: How was India's involvement / invasion perceived by Bangladesh and its citizens during the independence war? Welcome, or were people irritated because they didn't know if they were coming to stay? @Isa Khan @Afif What is Pakistan's stance on the...

This could have been so much better, the ending was worse than season 8 of Game of Thrones. How will Prigozhin ever feel safe in Belarus? Putin is heavily damaged too, they basically marched into the Moscow region with barely any resistance. Biggest losers are the Wagner mercs who will now...

This is the second shitty deal in Germany within the last months. First selling Viessmann to the Americans was approved and now this. And this one isnt even making the news.

Unnecessary discussion that we already had a dozen times. But feel free to continue. However, I will not tolerate any baseless conspiracy accusation of foreign interference at TAI.

Food for thought and no this is not a single event, it's everywhere in Germany and NL. How would it make you feel?

Simsek wont change anything as long as the Central Bank is not independent and he knows that. Either concessions were made or Simsek lost his mind and will lose his reputation too.

Live on TV, a bit late but still on. They brought the entire entourage this time.

Not sure if that was on purpose.

Stumbled up on this, its in German but Ukrainian officials said that NASAMS had 100% success rate on all targets within range. 100 targets, 100 hits. Propaganda or not, it looks like IRIS-T and NASAMS are performing very well compared to the last generation of Air defence. Source in German...

@Terrain Your opinions are welcome and constructive criticism is very much welcome, dont let anyone suggest anything otherwise. We value all input from all sides, we dont want this forum to turn into an echo-chamber. And please report posts that break the rules.

In the case of Kosovo, I wouldn't be so sure if all of these products were indeed paid exports or donations.

@Terrain I see what you're trying to say and I do hope too that TAI is getting the best products in the market. It is the number one company in Turkey in aviation and will stay so. No offense against Baykar but Czeri or space tugs will not change that. Baykar is still as of now a 2 or 3...
