We don't do whatever we want but we can, just like how India all of a sudden ended the contract of the Turkish company operating Indian airports after their so called "operation sindoor". Now they are suffering from airline collapse. And Netherlands nationalized a Chinese owned microelectronics...
Bridges have indirect benefits to the economy other than the direct revenue shares. Leasing the operation of the bridges is a finance model to allocate money for investment in other fields. Türkiye has a budget deficit of under 3% so it is actually not an urgent need but when you want to invest...
Are you aware that we have already done this in the 1990's, it is naive to oppose such a move, if you can find a buyer that is.
Also note that all our new bridges are operated by consortiums which mean the same thing.

not a short path to readiness, Türkiye can afford it now but not ideal
if it was a short path to a pilot you can deploy many more in many locations
We need Somalian, Libyan and other nations' pilots to fly them in an affordable timeframe...
Yes he is, meaning simulator flight made him ready to fly Kaan very well.
My point is Kaan pilots should be fast tracked to Kaan skipping traditional lengthy training. With the Kaan smarts a healthy / fit individual can be trained to fly Kaan in a much shorter time than it usually takes for an...
With all the drone force we already have I was surprized to see F16 be deployed in Somalia. Probably it is not just for a few targets in our area of interest but the entire country that gets coverage. In any case Somalia is in talks with Pakistan to buy fighters and the Anka3 is likely counting...
If you are an entrepreneur looking to make a serial hybrid power train flying car you maybe in luck as TR motor APU systems can be repurposed to a serial hybrid power train without much rework. Anyone ?
With the TF6000 engine it didn't take too long to get to the edge of the targeted thrust power value. It is not flying yet but it is supposed to be close to flying. The next test to confirm that TEI is learning fast from experience is the TF10000 scoring some points. That's when we will know how...
Foreign certification of aircraft is an arduous process which may not end up successful as the certifying bodies are institutions of established aircraft manufacturing countries. Every new aircraft they certify will take away business from them. It is a conflict of interests and they may drag...
They should lie if they want to, it is part of the power game to look bigger than you are.
However Tayfun is not just one missile, it has 4 types as of now. Most likely the early versions are already way past being stocked up while the latest versions are just entering production.
Wonderful news about TF6000, I would be happy with an interim 4800 lbf, now 5900 lbf made my day. As the force go up durability comes down surely; once they have a reasonable time on TBO hours they will probably want to fly already. I would give it 3 months at this pace before they will have no...
