    Why Are Muslim Countries Poorer?

    Because they reject science. Also they reject freedoms, person's base (fundemental) rights, etc, etc. People in Islamic countries demand justice and mercy from their leaders. They never, ever demand freedoms and fundamental rights. They do not realize that there is no justice without rights and...

    IMO, a very very good question.

    I think, "It will be the second largest engine in terms of size among Western-style fighter jet engines", he said. I don't think Dr. Akşit mean thrust value.

    I think TF-10000 for KE, not TF-6000. If KE's testing is nearing completion, I think that's great news. A period of 5 years is foreseen for the TF-10000 Engine to enter mass production. This is an achievable goal, but still an ambitious one.

    +1 There will be 3 ways to thwart drones in the near future. 1) 35 mm Atom-style programmable ammunition, 2) Directed energy weapons and 3) Anti-kamikaze drones.

    I think this situation was already expected by us. On the other hand, I think the Germans were just looking for an excuse. Both sides, Germany and Turkiye, have already agreed to end their "marriage" in military technology. The sooner it happens, the better for us. It should not be like the...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    If a) the Ukrainians have engineers who are experienced and competent in the problems of turbofan engines, and b) if the Ukrainians come up with plans for a 35000 lb turbofan engine from the time of the Soviet Union, then OK for me. We first modify the Ukrainians' turbofan engine plans...

    OK. I get it. But, we can not an engine with 3000 SHP power with an axial compressor be designed that uses only the first stage hot sector turbine of the TF-6000?

    Classic APCs are also designed to resist machine gun fire and artillery shrapnel. However, nowadays they even fire ATGMs at infantry! I watched a video I can never forget from the Saudi-Houthi war. 4-5 Saudi infantrymen resting under a rock were attacked with the Kornet-E ATGM. They all died...

    Unless we give up on the classic tank concept, funny images in this style will continue. What is that concept? A mobile field cannon and mobile machine gun mount that is resistant to machine gun fire and cannon shrapnel. Why has this concept become obsolete? Because the threats to tanks are no...

    Yes, of course. But by flying unmanned, you get a lot of flight hours. That's why I think tests will be done with unmanned aircraft.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    In fact, I think that the TF-35k engine will be integrated into Kaan immediately after the first ignition and the Kaan prototype that will fly with that engine will be flown as Kaan unmanned. Since our schedule is very tight, I think both the TF-6k and TF-35k engines will be integrated into the...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Only (and maybe) tested in the next 5 years. No certified and no put into production. It all depends on the developments in the TF-6k engine. IMO, If TF-6k engine produces at least 4500+ lb thrust on its first ignition and the TF-6k program goes very very smoothly, then the TF-35k engine will...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    What makes the engine challenging is not just the desired 25.000 lb level dry thrust. While giving this thrust level, this engine will blow out as much cold air as possible and will also be a "mini power plant". The weight of the engine that can do all this should not exceed 1800 kg. It's a very...
