Could TB3 take-off without a ramp? trying to determine the export potential.

True - but the ASP is much higher than what is offered to other countries/close allies. Also true

While the deals cannot be compared one to one due to many variables, it is clear that Baykar is milking the European countries.

15 mUSD per unit. Not bad

Frankly, this source is known for spreading BS.

Are you crazy? What evidence are you talking about? baykar has their own plans and roadmap, no outsider has detailed insights into these. Looking at their track record, they know what they are doing - so let them do their work. After all, they are not begging for government funds, they will do...

I think this is just the beginning, so they are ok with taking a hit on payload to orbit in order to learn re-entry and landing. I think the following rocket will be much bigger and probably in the medium lift category given the company’s ambitions

I believe it to be plausible. Aselsan is an R&D focused organisation and like TAI have a hard time scaling production. Baykar is a mass-production focused organisation.

Could also be that they are unhappy with Aselsan not being able to scale production fast enough. Maybe the EOTS is a bottleneck and they are solving it by doing it in house

They must be getting something important in return to make such a pointless plant in Ukraine.

Cruise missile? what?

Apparently it was hacked and redirected towards Ukraine (like Iran did with the US drone). The russians quickly shot it down. Doesn't look good at all for Russia.

They only start offering these systems when they know Turkiye will soon have its own alternatives. They are trying to kill Turkiye's domestic projects. Don't fall for their scheme. Stick with the F-16 until KE, ANKA 3, Hurjet and KAAN is ready.

The most North Korean truck in the market. Damn it is ugly.

In Istanbul the next 10 days. Any non-obvious recommendations of things to see and places to eat? 🇹🇷

Az MoD started posting videos of heavy equipment training again. Every time they've done that intensely has been before an operation.

Roketsan is being painfully slow. Hopefully Fergani Space can accelerate things.

A 50 ton launch vehicle would be able to deliver approx 1000 kg to LEO if comparing it with Firefly or Relativity Space. That would be a good start!

T-625 delivery? 😯

I think Armenia is preparing itself for a round 3 of proper beating. In recent weeks, Putin and the Russian government have called for the corridor to be established. This week, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan stressed that the corridor must be established. Today, Aliyev stated that...
