They are talking about very short term. In the medium to long term we may very well be the best. It only depends on how hard we work on it other than potitical stability.

Wait a minute: I was thinking Aspilsan battery has 220 Wh/kg energy density but seems like it actually has 243 Wh/kg gravimetric density which puts it in a usable value for VTOL applications.
For space launches we can probably use İğneada for up to 1500kg 700km launches. For bigger launches we can use shipborne platforms of the coast of our province of Muğla or of Libya across the sea. For the largest launches we will probably need locations near the equator like Somalia or...
Of course not. It is only that you want to start with easier to exploit places and move to hard to exploit ones. From land and shores to offshore locations; from nearer locations to far locations.
I would add to that possible co-exploitation of some overseas resources like in Libya and other places which can effectively take our energy imports bill to zero in a 7 year time-frame. I expect a bright future in energy in the medium term.
Production is expected to rise to 20% of consumption by the end of this year AFAIK. And a further rise to close to 50% can be expected in 3 years optimistically speaking. Electrification of cars will decrease consumption too in the long run.
For one thing I haven't reported anyone of your posts to be deleted. I may be mad at you four your badmouthing of our defense industry heroes but I didn't see it necessary to report you for it. I wish you come to your senses and stop the hostility.
The predecessor of V-280 the Osprey has been around for ages already. There is a big aviation community in Türkiye now and people know what is what largely thanks to Teknofest and current helicopter projects.
All of the above projects that you have given pictures of are dead projects.
Temel Kotil has already said that after finishing development of classical helicopters they will look into compound helicopters. TAI have been behind Helicopter Design competition of Teknofest events. I personally...
Maybe in 15-20 years from today once both TAI and Baykar are cashed up and experienced in what they are making they can be in full competition to get government tenders but today they are like teenager humans they need to be nurtured and supported to get to success. This should not be hard to grasp.
TAI is a state company, the military chain of procurement orders TAI to make the products and TAI make them. While Baykar is a private company; its owners have a vision and they make the plane in their vision. Turkish military foresee the future within confines of what is achievable with...
You need to allow private companies to thrive otherwise you get the MKEK of the old times which makes state companies unproductive. SSB is doing a good job at keeping the defense industry vibrant.
