I hadn't seen this bird until yesterday in an old movie. It may not be competitive in this new world of twin engines with its double twin engines it gave an additional capability to its makers at the time. It is Vickers VC-10 first flown in 1962 and until 1981 taking after the Soviet Ilyushin...

You want the season's final skipping the intermediate episodes, not happening.

Who knows maybe China catches up or maybe Airbus grow bigger. Boeing losing deals left and right puts them in a tight spot. Delays of several years is pressure enough to make them compromise.

Passenger plane order to Boeing can be in the hundreds if the US plays well.

Export prices are always higher, twice the local price is probably very cheap and it could probably sell for more. A price that is more attractive than a competing product's price is a good price also comparing quality of products.

$2 million

Once the several engines in development are made more plane variety will emerge. A catapult upgrade will also boost capabilities justifying more planes. A carrier has many decades of life it will be used to its maximum.

Turns out that TB3 is using a 200hp engine moving up from the 170hp PD170 as their first engine. However as the hp goes up engine life becomes shorter.

We only need to make sure we can have an early crop of engines that can satisfy basic requirements while they still fall behind the best quality foreign engines. Like an 80% quality engine will take us to where we need to be in the short term. Can we do this by 2028, I believe we can. We should...

We have them because we need them. Somebody must be thinking of a way to stop Türkiye from developing the Kaan by freeing the US from sanctions burden and selling the F35 to Türkiye so that we don't push Kaan hard. Nobody is buying, the world will be a different place after Kaan.

They should not share video from Tayfun4 tests, probably only to show that it hits the target, secrets need to be kept until you hit a high profile live target.

2024 exports was $7.154bn, if the 45% increase is kept through the rest of the year it makes 10.37bn, passing the $10bn barrier.

I think they want to expand maneuvering agility envelope incrementally, why risk a crash rushing testing.

I counted 26 in the same picture, they are just cast engine blocks. Probably a component that is safe to make early in the process.

Making chips in millions is a challenge but making them in thousands should be easier. There is talk about a 3nm chip factory to be setup in Türkiye by 2027 in cooperation with a Taiwanese company by the drone company Fly BVLOS Technology to make drone autopilot computers. They plan to make...

Would it be like six TB3 on the TCG Anadolu, probably they will adjust the count to the mission requirements every time it sets sail. They should also put some add on VLS launchers on the ship.

You want to have the latest and greatest, once you have all the components already available for a tank you get to choose how to configure a tank to your heart's content. Do we want to have a hybrid tank or a fully combustion model or do we want a bigger bore gun with it, it is all in our hands...

Türkiye is making the state of the art Altay tank from zero prior experience and zero industrial base now with 100% local input. This is brilliant.

War is in the air.

Enough with badmouthing, making the tank is neither important at this day and age nor a priority. Turkish industry has matured to make a state of the art tank and what day you get the deliveries is not anything critical. You get the tanks within a comfortable delivery schedule and always up to...
