    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Better be late than be with foreign components. We have the UAVs existing and coming to cover a lot of bases so some delay in TFX and tank developments is tolerable. We are also not paying for off the shelf whole systems anymore so the money saved there will be pretty much enough for...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    The engine seems to be the hardest part to make but in a discussion made a few years back about the plane Japan is making somebody brought up that the Japs will have the hardest time pulling off the sensor fusion. Any ideas how we can cope in that department?

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    I often see videos of mods made on foreign army rifles. I wonder if Turkish soldiers can make mods on their rifles or do they have to go with factory configuration issued pieces. It may also be possible to configure a whole rifle from different sources, technically speaking.

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    Not sure but I believe soldiers are issued the right caliber for their mission. It is not that the 556 is not in stock. Turkish army operations are generally in the open field where range is more valuable than ammo count.

    They should upgrade the rifles that are already in use in the army not just the new batches.

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    Refining of the butstock made the rifle more handsome. The more slender the looks the better. I hope some upgrade to the pieces in the field can be made to make soldiers happier.

    If we don't sell them somebody else will and we will lose a friend as they will be closer to you when you sell something and will be farther when you don't.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    I need to know if several engines turning a common belt works well for a personal project. I have only seen it on amateur systems. The way helicopters work is a good example for tanks and ships though as it has been in use throughout the industry. I believe it is the reverse of how differentials...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    Coupling two engines is a curious thing which I personally want to know more of. Helicopters often use two engines turning a common shaft and the stopping of one engine does not effect the operation of the other. It should be pretty much the same thing for tanks. I am more curious whether two...

    If it was Vestel we should have heard about export news. If Vestel is renamed under a Saudi name then it wouldn't be called Turkish. Confusing, it can be some other maker.

    It is actually very good that somebody buys what you want to sell.

    Çavuşoğlu meets Saudi FM Faisal bin Farhan in Niger

    Arabs must prepare for the post-oil era and they need to lean on foreigners for military tech, for food and good life where Turkey is resourceful at. They have less than 2 decades.

    My statement is a forward looking statement seeing into the future. We are at the beginning of a transition from fully combustion to hybrid of electric and combustion powertrains. Coincidentally I am working on a private civilian aviation project in which the only solution to the problem is a...

    Fantastic news again. A big, modern upgrade with national resources, I am really proud. Keep up the good work, keep making us proud.

    He is talking about chip making machines but erroneously calling them nanometer CNC's, so not actually this kind of machines. The process of making chips, particularly etching the chip pattern on the silicone is called lithography.

    They have to open that ship to visitors and showcase those weapons ASA they are in use. We haven't been cheering for nothing.

    You keep looking for the wrong and you don't see the obvious right. Nobody in this world that I know of has come anywhere near that level of performance.
