Vestel/Lentatek has no right to speak until they deliver Kargı. They have a critical project that make them print money but so far they couldn't do that.

I think Navy would want that deployement though even the goverment didn't coordinated with them first. Our Navy wants to extends their reach and this will be a perfect experience for them and because of that I think Navy was in the decision making for this move.

If Baykar funds this, we will have a national engine for Hurkus as well.(Our very own PT-6) If Baykar doesn't fund this though, I don't think there will be a turboprop engine derived from TS-1400 in the near future. Mr. Aksit mentioning this for a long time (He said they aimed for a 1400 shp...

Both of the designs should be studied by now due to design change, but how much did it progressed I am not sure. Still this would increase the cost and time to develop, it is for sure. Navy also needs Seahawks (I am not sure how much they like navalized Gokbey idea) and this would address both...

Apparently the new design of T925. I am wondering if it is possible to make both T925 designs at the same time? Most of the helicopter would be the same and only the cabin will be changed.(like T925 with ramp and T925 without ramp) How difficult would that be?

I didn't hear that from some time. I am relieved now.

What is the latest with Altay serial production? Last thing we know that it is started but that's about it.

Does that mean replacements are also in consideration as well or additional hulls will be added to Corvette/OPV numbers?

They are like clockwork. As soon as our own projects seems to be materializing, they approved RAM's.

I think naming it was a mistake. MKE 76mm Naval Gun sounds much better. Hope to see this gun on our other ships.

And enough missile production capacity. Do we have any idea roughly how many Hisar missiles are we producing per month or year? Does Hisar missile production have been affected from long waiting times for sub-components etc?

So T925 is changing to be more like T70. I am guessing that part of the reason for that is to make it fit in the ship hangars. Navy might not satisfied with navalized Gökbey idea and requested a Turkish Seahawk.(Navalized Gökbey's still can be used as a stop gap( with Lynx like configuration)...

F35's weren't supposed to be this expensive though.(Even if the initial price is lower now, operating costs are still much higher than F16) We might still have ended up getting new F16s whilst reducing the F35 order.

Erdogan is his first name.(It can be both first and last name) Erdogan Karakus is full name.

Altay mass production started? Did he misspoke(Maybe he was speaking about the test deliveries) or did Altay serial production really started silently? (In this case, I'm not sure which would be more surprising, the fact that Altay has started mass production or the fact that some no name...

For just a couple of days, we've had 1 Mig-29 at Trabzon because of a Soviet defector but other than that I don't remember either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Zuyev_(pilot)

It does seem like something else happened behind doors or Hyundai agreed to price cut(77mil to 60 mil) and Otokar didn't.

Also the pensioners. They got the short end of the economic recovery policies. They reacted.

Speaking from experience, don't do this to yourself.
