I missed that news piece, thanks.
Further in this case; if one of the six is Kaan, which of the 3 with question marks you think would be left out? My guess goes with Anka-3.
In this case, I would put Kaan instead of testbed in the list of 6. We know two prototypes are in the system integration phase.
Btw, do we even have any testbed aircraft?
Why are you trying to make my point look different than it is? I already said it was my personal opinion to see the upgraded Altay as another project. And I clearly stated that the overall Altay project is a mess. Ofc it's a fuckup. Who says else?
I won't answer you if you bring the old Altay...
Depends. (For a family of four with the income of one experienced teacher and no spending for rent) You can eat steak 30 days a month. But you shouldn't have extra spendings and should track for the cheapest prices for that. If there's someone in the family who loves keeping their wardrobe full...
As I said, I'm talking about the new Altay. Not the one which was supposed to enter mass production in 2016. That one has a lot lot to criticize about.

I join @Zafer abi on this. We are finally getting Altay's and yes, there are a lot to criticize about Altay project from day 0 but today is not the day for it. Today, let's be happy for having the Altay as a top tier mbt and congratulate our engineers. Think about it, would you be happy if you...
That's what I've been expecting from our industry for years. Did we ever have any news regarding this?
Edit: I'm not asking for a fully stealth uav. Just minimizing the RCS with the same design.
Overall ratio is also around ~4
Again, I'm not saying economy is good at all. Neither my knowledge in economy is. But such things can't be relied on one reason. @Yasar_TR abi mentioned some.
I never said economy is perfect or it is the best ever for companies.
But your argument shows you lack basic economy knowledge. For starters, you can check start-up to bankruptcy ratio in the industry. Which is currently pretty good for our defence industry. If there was a factor big enough to...
