An elected autocrat can better fit his position. As there is no other leader in democratic countries that is running a country for 20+ years. Putin is also elected, that doesn't mean he is a "democrat". Winning elections is only one side of democracy. Free elections don't mean a country is...

TAI knows best if the engineers are overworking or not or if the aircraft is fit to conduct its first flight. I doubt any SSB bureaucrats have any detailed data about the airworthiness of Kaan.

An air-launched long-range cruise missile will probably have a weight similar to an Mk 84 bomb. An appropriate turbojet engine can carry such a missile over 1000km easily. No need to go for a turbofan unless we aim for even longer ranges and Kale stated that they have plans for a dual-use...

Owning the rights to the end product doesn't mean running the project. SSB has no right to declare a first flight date. According to the signed MMU protocol design, development, production, and any activity related to those is the responsibility of TAI so engineers of TAI will decide if the MMU...

TAI is at the helm of the project. The decision of the first flight is TAI's responsibility so we should take TAI's word when different announcements are made.

I see no problem with fuel consumption. Note that consumption is given for the full RPM and maxed-out state of the engine that means at %100 RPM and 3200N thrust the engine will consume 384kg of fuel (KTJ-1750 will consume 210kg) in 1 hour. This is already a really good fuel consumption rate for...

Well, who could have guessed?

Roketsan changed the name Yatağan to Mete after Mete Gazoz won the Olympics in archery. Mete ( written as Mo-du in Chinese) was also the emperor of the Hunnic Confederation and the inventor of whistling arrows for battlefield communication.

Akbaba, Gökhan, and Gezgin images are placeholders. BTW Mete looks like a perfect missile. Now we need something larger to be an RPG alternative.

Lol. I agree there is no place called Dersim but they are naming themselves this has nothing to do with me.

KK has no chance unless a miracle happens.

CHP can't be a reliable party overnight. It needs monumental changes and reforms. It won't happen. İmamoğlu will takeover but Kaftancıoğlu will have reins over the Dersim group inside the party. At some point, I can see those two colliding. The political career of Mansur is gone he won't be...

He is selling lies again. We need at least 30 billion $ for this project and this amount is a very optimistic estimate. Now we know why we have an FX problem.

Opposition can't win any election for the next 50 years with this logic and we are witnessing it.

%10 MHP %1 BBP and %6-7 nationalist AKP voters voted for Erdogan. Not everyone in AKP is an İslamist. Those people have no issue with Atatürk. You think that everyone who voted for Erdogan must hate Atatürk which is a big prejudice.

After the elections, there will be a big bill to pay. The economy is going from bad to worse. There is and incoming price increase and devaluation.

MHP got %10, İYİ got %10, Sinan Oğan got %5 and if we add AKP, BBP, and some Kemalist votes there is a huge %30 nationalist vote block in Turkiye right now. That is the new reality of Turkish politics. Nationalists have never been this strong in Turkish politics. A candidate like Mansur Yavaş...

In the event that one of the candidates entitled to participate in the second ballot does not participate in the election for any reason, the second ballot shall be held by substituting the vacant nomination according to the order in the first ballot. However, the substitution may be made until...

The second prototype is also coming out faster than expected. There is good progress with part production and CDR.

The first flight of KAAN might happen slightly earlier(November instead of December) than expected.
