I would rather pay 420 million and have 100 Fırtına-Is than paying 420 million and having 60 Fırtına-IIs increase in capability doesn't justify the increase in price. Fırtına-II is basically an upgrade of Fırtına-Is. We should have upgraded existing Fırtınas than paying %60+ more.
There are three bidders for Phase-II of the National Fighter Engine Project
1) TEI/GE
2) Kale/RR
3) TRMotor/Ivchenko Progress
SSB will evaluate the main offers and will decide to go on with one of them after that work packages will be distributed between companies so this is not a usual...
The price is 7 millions per Fırtına II howitzers. Note that the price of Fırtına I was 4.2 million while the TL dollar ratio was much lower. BMC robbed us with Fırtına II.
TEI is developing a bigger engine. Bigger than TF-6000 but it is in the early phase and it might be related to TF-X rather than Hurjet. TEI has a plan to come up with an engine family.
He believes low-interest rates--->more and easier investments--->more jobs and production--->less inflation and more exports. At first look, this looks like a solid thought process but this whole chain won't work if you don't control inflation first and let inflation run rampant. This is...
Probably we heard the same things :) but i don't know if it is the same source.
TF-6000 is a new design. It is a low bypass turbofan engine. It will have at least 6000 lbs of dry thrust. It will have a multi-stage axial compressor. We will see something in 2023.
CATS now is on par with MX-15D which is enough for TB2 class UAVs. It is already exported to 5 countries. CATS was already performing good but it was still worse than MX-15D. Potential buyers were waiting for optimizations and improvements. As soon as those improvements are done customers signed...
This is smart. Penetration to the deck is minimal. 16x VLS is a good capability. A possible Milgem modernization with Hisar missiles and Nazar laser hardkill system will add real depth to those ships and I class can possibly have 32x VLS. 16x VLS for Hisar missiles and 16x Midlas VLS for a...
