Welcome to forum. I agree war should never happen and have happened very unnecessarily in the past....and exactly to breakdown in peaceful reasoning, logic and discussion.

From 2011 - 2016, the average foreign loan (gross) intake by Turkey was 65 billion USD per year. From 2017 - 2019 it was: 2017: 88 billion USD 2018: 69 billion USD 2019: 59 billion USD works out to an average of about 72 billion USD per year intake (2017 - 2019). Again I ask wouldn't this be...

TFX is too big and important to fail. The baby is getting delivered one way or another. I think we also need what definition or scope constitutes a failure in first place. Engine? RCS characteristics? Something bigger? A combination of issues can still be improved upon....even if there are...

This is relatively minor issue all in all...and related to MRO (fairly downstream issue). These issues become more steady-state and reliable/baked-in (intrinsic numbers wise) only with a decade or more (from my experience in the industry on commercial side). It pops up in newsfeed because of...

Again if this were really the case/philosophy of the last 10 years....Turkish govt would not be going for loan buffet from the same countries. They gain far far more leverage on you that way compared to FDI...given who is holding/managing the risk in the end (and gets burdened with cost later...

Nasty business that, being in contact with the ground and totally reliant on it for your propulsive effort hehe. Us in the flyboy business take more things for granted in this regard. Far "easier" to ramp up power in this context when you just need to consider the air going whoosh around you...

https://theprint.in/defence/india-working-on-next-astra-missile-with-160-km-range-as-mk1-is-integrated-in-iaf-navy/566699/ New Delhi: India is working on an extended range of the indigenous beyond-visual-range (BVR) air-to-air missile ‘Astra’ (Sanskrit/Hindi for a launched weapon), which will...

Yeah it has come across my mind before (especially having enjoyed both cay bahcesi in earlier place and here and also warkop in INA section here). I think we need a solid+large number of members etc (if you see numbers that turks and indonesians have respectively for it).... so we have...

Hey its *that* russian song. :D

It makes sense. In India case, if we make final advancement....it will not be GTRE (design agency) that makes the engine....but likely HAL (which makes turboshafts already for helicopters w.r.t ToT etc from Safran)...or something like HAL. Very often RnD phase and production phase is delineated...

They did pretty well under Red Bull though.

Of course it is not a 1:1 fit, I am just saying learn what is applicable and implement. There is lot of first principles stuff that Turkey govt has missed out on this decade. (Same goes for India btw). It is not saying the 2nd , 3rd , 4th principle stuff downstream is all the exact same at all...

Well sure, but the philosophy doesn't follow what Turkey govt has been doing on foreign debt then. I am simply saying if you want to orient the foreign flow in capital account (given current account will always have some reflection here), the hierarchy is roughly: 1) FDI 2) FPI 3) Private...

I can go into what is wrong with what IMF does and has done.....but I am just talking from common sense view here given Turkey does participate in USD system globally. It has to be seen as equity, asset and flow pressure like any other. You think the PRC got from A to B by not doing this stuff...

RIP to the fallen and may the injured recover speedily.

Oh yes, vastly diminishing returns when you pack so much power/weight heh. There is basic math/science involved in this....people always thing why not just put the biggest engine in the smallest weight/volume possible....without considering other factors.

It gave a glance of NATO tech vs NATO tech from about 30 or so years of development (with vietnam war in between too) in a certain way yes. So the many firsts etc were to be expected....scaled to the objective relevance. British didn't take it lightly, they did send a carrier group task force...

Fiscal tightening of last few months till now has been appreciable by Turkish govt and was correct move to help stave off the immediate crisis that was gathering muster. The interest rate was jacked up from around 10% (in november 2020) to about 17% by 2020-end. Turkish Lira likely will settle...

Was more the situation if they called out the gamble in rhineland re-militarisation at that time.
