Which deal with Indonesia was bigger than the 2.3 bln € deal with India?

Regarding Saudi Arabia, let us hear the numbers. The biggest deal in defence was so far the export ships to India worth 2.3 bln € if i'm not mistaken. If Baykar is telling the truth, it has to be a massive deal. We're talking hundreds of drones...

Have you seen the margins on Laptops and Smartphones? There are only like 2–3 players in the world that make a profit out of Phones. Apple being the obvious champ.

Story time. Don't know where you live, but Berlin is full of them, easy to spot. Usually Erasmus students that stay for jobs in the so called new economy. In Stuttgart, where I'm also frequently for business, plenty of them in Engineering positions at Bosch, Mercedes or even Mahle. Here in my...

The issue is Germans move abroad, are replaced by Eastern Europeans and Turkish academics and skilled professionals. Our citizens move to Germany but we dont pull any talent from anywhere. Just refugees that would like to leave to Europe too.

Let's get back to topic. F16 procurement is on topic, but lets try to keep the surrounding politics in the politics thread. Thanks.

Marketing wise and to avoid confusion, that would be a good idea. Not everyone is going to agree with me, but: - certain products should have some sort of theme or family of names: Germans name their vehicles and tanks after (big) cats - names should be Turkish but easy for foreigners, like...

All the developments and announcements were obviously scrammed in time for the elections. Going to take a while for new announcements.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-05/turkey-in-talks-to-sell-izmir-alsancak-port-operating-rights-to-gulf-investors Alsancak is being sold, not even a tender this time. The price was 1.2 bln € in 2007, let's see how the terms will look like today and for how long it will be...

1. Not sure if its a statement in the direction of Turkey to kindly supply them or if they are actually getting them, based on that statement. 2. Engine and Transmission problems probably wont affect an order for Ukraine because they are going to Ukraine. All gloves are off as you now, when it...

Dont expect companies to do any favor to anyone if its not worth it to them. Don't confuse them with our state enterprises.

Koc is working with multiple car OEMs and wouldnt risk their existing partnerships and cash cows for it. Understandable from their POV. I hope they join forces on chips.

Copying ASML, means copying decades of research and operational excellence not only at ASML, but the optics from Carl Zeiss or Lasers from Trumpf. In the past China (and Taiwan, Japan, S. Korea) bought foreign technology in the west and went from there, building their own industries and...

Firing 600k missiles at a 50k drone is insane. I hope that our own products will be cost-effective.

Solar at 4.7% is bad, way to low.

Let me ask a somewhat related question in here: How was India's involvement / invasion perceived by Bangladesh and its citizens during the independence war? Welcome, or were people irritated because they didn't know if they were coming to stay? @Isa Khan @Afif What is Pakistan's stance on the...

This could have been so much better, the ending was worse than season 8 of Game of Thrones. How will Prigozhin ever feel safe in Belarus? Putin is heavily damaged too, they basically marched into the Moscow region with barely any resistance. Biggest losers are the Wagner mercs who will now...

This is the second shitty deal in Germany within the last months. First selling Viessmann to the Americans was approved and now this. And this one isnt even making the news.

Unnecessary discussion that we already had a dozen times. But feel free to continue. However, I will not tolerate any baseless conspiracy accusation of foreign interference at TAI.

Food for thought and no this is not a single event, it's everywhere in Germany and NL. How would it make you feel?
