I have no doubt they will. BMC is the major partner of TR Motor, I have no doubt they will deliver either. I have no doubt they will go beyond that. You don't have faith in Turkey's ability to achieve? Wait and see.
We built F16 fighter Jets in Turkey in the 1980's and that didn't make the US cheap at all. If we don't share our technology to some degree somebody else will.
On the I other hand I have noticed that the max range for CATS is given as 25km while the range for MX-15 and DASS are 20 km. So there is a difference there too.
This is not clearly stated by İsmail Demir but it makes sense to develop a smaller turbofan engine for Hürjet and possible UCAVs that may follow later.
Kale having developed the KTJ3200 and TEI having developed TJ300/TJ400 and TS1500 Turkey has all the industrial base to produce such an engine. Understandably there still is some work that needs to be done to make a low bypass turbofan like this AI-305. This engine being single shaft seems to...
I have actually visited several European countries in the past for business but I don't plan to even visit Europe ever again. Although I have a neighbor who went to France to see what he can do and came back with no further attempts now talking again about going to Germany. The visa exemption is...
Istanbul's previous governor Kadir Topbaş's son in law was with feto and it costed him an early retirement from his third time in office. He was removed from his position at the cost of losing many of Boşnak support to AK Parti. Which was a bold move. People had relations with feto at various...
Let the foreigners try to understand our mindset.
GC if we hadn’t allowed them to join EU. Like we could do anything about it. LOL
force EU to put soldiers on the ground in Syria. That's not what we want, we want our soldiers there not foreigners.
And beware, there was that...
How would you handle the refugee deal? Don't just say better. Erdoğan has advisers who do the homework for him to come up with the best course of action. Mind you though even the best course of action falls short from being satisfactory at times. Tenders ? What's wrong with them?
This ratio has been around 67% for ages. 90% is a dream come true. Of course we want better but we also need to remember where we have been before. Turkey also has revenue from tourism, construction work abroad, expat money transfers and such to make ends meet.
Once I came across to Haluk Bayraktar and I asked him if there is any work towards electrification and he simply answered "electric has 30 times less power for the same weight". It is as simple as that.
For people who are considering multicopter type VTOL vehicles for military operations I want to point out a few things to make the situation clear.
1- They are more silent then a helicopter which is their main benefit.
2- They run on electric which is cheaper than fossil fuel
Other benefits...
