The Otokar ARMA II uses a 720 HP domestic Ecotorq engine, but the transmission they use is not domestic. If this engine is robust, IMO it can also be used in this vehicle upon the insistence of SSB. But a domestic transmission will also be required. Is there a suitable and robust domestic...

If the BATU (not UTKU, but BATU) power package fits into the M60s, I think we should first renew all M60s with the new power package and the subsystems that will transfer its power. Then we modernize the tank step by step, starting with the new turret. If the BATU power package does not fit...

Wonderful! The November-2024 elections will be held between the "Orange Egomaniac Madman" and the "Senile Genocidal Criminal". What I can't decide is this: Are USA citizens or rest of the World unluckier in this regard?

Why were Gökbey deliveries delayed? Did Gendarmerie General Command dislike the first 3 Gökbey helicopters delivered and asked for modifications?

Do not worry. Anka-4 is the last platform included in the informatics above, but the prototype of which has not been produced yet. I think TAI will not announce another platform other than Anka-4 for many many years.

I think they are planning to produce a drone (Anka-4) that uses single F110 engine, is very agile, and is customized only for aerial targets. Anka-3 will be customized for ground targets. Anka-4 will be customized for aerial targets. Both of them can be Kaan's loyal wingman.

Possible. At least for temporarily.

After seeing what kamikaze drones&drones and Javelins did in Ukraine, I began to think that spending on land vehicles, except for i) artillery rockets, ii) 155 mm howitzers and iii) armored personnel carriers, was unnecessary! What are armored vehicles used for? They basically have 2 purposes...

Better late than never!

This is because the F35 and F22 fighters cannot offer the US army the long range advantage in the Pacific at low cost and in a short time. Both remain short range for the Pacific. Although NGAD was developed for this, there is a time and cost problem. There is no need to even talk about other...

I think Kaan's airframe, (I said Kaan's airframe, not Kaan!) is needed right now by both EU countries and Japan and even USA. This is the only 5th generation airframe that they can add to their inventory as soon as possible, which is both long-range, multi-role, and affordable. Don't let them...

In my opinion, Mr. Kotil's statements are not motivated by politics. He makes such statements to create public pressure on TAI employees. I'm sure he also knows what reasonable timeline are for projects.

IMO, we can solve the power package problem of the T925&T929 with the domestic engine and domestic transmission we have available. We can use 4 x TS-1400 engines. We can position 2 engine on the right side and overlapping each other. The engines are interconnected by the existing domestic...

I guess I missed something. Are you sure the GTU-0 will fly?

If the domestic engine is produced by that date and operates with sufficient reliability, yes, it will be tested by installing it on the one of prototype KAAN together with the F110.

IMO USA haven't made any sales yet, for now. If the sale goes through (I won't believe it until I receive the equipment, by the way), I think it would be good for two reasons: i) Maintenance of the existing F-16 fleet would no longer be a problem. ii) We will gain time until we can produce...

Here we go! ;)

What is your personal estimate of the delay time?

Yes, possible.

Safer? I actually doubt it. In mechanical systems, the increase in the number of moving parts also increases the risk of failure. Since a transmission operated by 3 engines would be more complex, I think this power group would not be safer in total. However, since our engine companies are busy...
