I support all kinds of investments in exo atmospheric vehicles and launch vehicles, but the choice of Atatürk airport for this is, in my opinion, a very populist and cheap discourse. More than 1 million people live around the airport. I am in favour of the utilisation of this airport as a giant...

The whole process, starting with the reform proposals on local governments, ECHR judgements and, related regulations on emergency decrees, has already been carried out in close contact with HDP. They even risked almost pushing the Iyip below the threshold just for this.

So that, Labor Day will be a TAI's big trunk show. I hope it becomes a tradition in every Labor Day. Btw, a huge stage and ceramony area will need to be set up for the simultaneous presentation of so many platforms.

In a nod to the F-35 rollout ceremonies, a large spectacle showcase combined with some of light shows may be in preparation. So the MMU is probably being prepared for transport to the ceremony area. Rather than the possibility of moving to Istanbul, a more suitable point within the TAI...

In 2023, the first concrete step can be taken regarding the Sinop NPP. Also The location of the third power plant will probably be finalised. What we know now is that the third power plant will be located in a region close to the Bulgarian border. There is also the SMR issue. There is...

The reason why I am surprised by the 30mm cannon integration target is not issues such as CAS or anti UAV. Let's take a longer perspective: A twin-engined KE variant with afterburners may promise capabilities in terms of air combat manoeuvring that exceed those of current fighter jets. Within...

A very valuable interview. Rather than the May 1 surprise, what pleases me the most is that one of the most authoritative people in the project emphasised that Super Lightning(yeni Şimşek), MMU and ANKA-3 are parts of the same programme with a holistic approach. The other issue is that probably...

30mm cannon on KE? Guys, this is a big, big deal!

I think this KAGEM will be a family of ammunition consisting of several types. Maybe even a model without a warhead. I mean it will be in the ultra-light group, but there may be two different main body, for example as 30kg and 45kg. I think that this type of ammunition will be a very valuable...

Technically, TB-2 can carry 4 of this type of ammunition. In fact, let's expand the example as follows, 3 TB-2s can carry 4 KAGEM, 4 MAM-L and last one with electronic warfare pod in the same area. The level of capability being achieved with UCAVs in the tactical class is really moving towards a...

Probably the MAM-L warhead will be used in it. Users are more than satisfied with this little beast. I estimate that the targeted cost for BAYKAR's loitering ammunition is around $20,000 maximum. One of the most decisive criteria in this class is low cost and low weight.

Housing sales to foreigners in Istanbul have been in the 5-10% range for a long time. However, the main reason for the increase in house values in the last two years is that the public has been deliberately pushed by the state to buy property and real estate in order to prevent their assets from...

It's not a field I know much about, but with amateur eyes, the X-47's front section radar optimization seems to be better. I think there will be some minor changes in the silhouette of the aircraft until the ANKA-3 is ready for service. However, in general, an unmanned flying wing that is so...

Erdogan's joint broadcast for tomorrow cancelled. He will also not attend the opening of the Akkuyu first reactor. Some sources state that official programmes have been postponed for the time being. With the elections just around the corner, there are various speculations about Erdoğan's state...

Yes, this illustration. As I know, Cabatli and Combat Master üstads have a complete series of these images in their archive. There was also a road map vision document from 10 years ago. I reviewed that document last month, and I realised that, surprisingly, TAI in line with this roadmap, and...

True 6th gen fighter aircraft. I can't look at the document right now, but if memory serves, the next step is jets with agile, more-stealth and swarm autonomy.
