    Korea Socio-economical affairs

    I think this isn't really something only limited to Korea. Marginalization between different social groups are taking place within every developed nation around the world right now it seems. Cancel culture and the word itself is not even born in Korea but fits perfectly to what David is trying...

    Azerbaijan Pakistan sold JF-17C Block-III worth 1.6 billion USD to Azerbaijan

    Oh wow, I think those are some interesting assumptions. Though, only going by what is actually known, it already is interesting that a program of sort called PFX exists. We'll be able to figure out what it is and how much it coincides with your guess in the coming years. Thanks for the heads...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    Talking the talk with no substance, in typical Russian fashion. In other news, Russia is still not deploying T-14 in Ukraine despite being "operational", same with Su-57. They've got some nice 1:1 real size models sitting on the ground. All the while being supplied with munitions and missiles...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    My question is, why are some of you guys so inclined to rejoining the program at current stage? To me, it's quite clear that there's zero chance that Turkiye get's as much of industrial participation in the F-35 supply chain as it used to even if the door reopens, and that wouldn't happen before...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    No, F-35 is hovering 140 aircraft a year and that is the expected full capacity with current infrastructure. They have a long-term plan for CAPEX to more than 200 a year but that is far into the future. Also most production constraints during and after the Covid period were down to, you guessed...

    TR Space Space Programs

    Nice progress. Igneada was the only option in Turkiye for West-East launches to be honest. Though does Turkiye have any concrete options on how they'll launch SSO or Polar orbit? I've seen others talk about sea launch and I know there are some stuff going on with Somalia, but I wonder if any of...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    Actually delusional to think that US has even a single reason to include Turkiye in F-35 supply chain now.

    Azerbaijan Pakistan sold JF-17C Block-III worth 1.6 billion USD to Azerbaijan

    Continuing from this, details about the development cost and workshare agreement for the block 2 and 3 aircrafts seemse to be very scarce. Can someone fill me in here as well? On top of that, are there any indigenous efforts to develop critical avionics? For example, T-50 and ita varriants in...

    Azerbaijan Pakistan sold JF-17C Block-III worth 1.6 billion USD to Azerbaijan

    Regarding the possibilities of integrating Turkish weapons and avionics (which would basically mean replaing the Chinese counterparts) onto Jeff, can the Pakistani members, or any memebrs in general in the know teach me some details regarding the cooperative framework between Pakistan and China...

    Seeking Authentic Experiences in South Korea

    Ah, yes, although I am ignorant of Islamic rules and the do's and do nots, I think I recall that travellers are not subject to, or not subject to as strict of a restriction of what one shall and may not eat. Though I also know that people from countries of predominantly Islamic backgrounds don't...

    Seeking Authentic Experiences in South Korea

    Some other small recommendation would be Danyang or Gochang, but I'm not sure how interesting these places would be for foreigners. Danyang especially has a lot of domestic tourists, so if you hate that, it's a no-go.

    Seeking Authentic Experiences in South Korea

    As Chocopie pointed out, finding Halal food in Korea is a hard thing. The good thing though, is that there's plenty of sea food anywhere in the country. As with my response to GalaxyRider, I could give you some specific recommendations if you can give us some details. Though Since Turkiye is...

    Seeking Authentic Experiences in South Korea

    As for the reccomendations, I like being specific and my answer would vary depending on your travel preferences (eg: if you prefer visiting historic landmarks or exploring nature, or want to experience Korean urbanism like shopping or night lift), as well as your preferred activity (as in, the...

    Seeking Authentic Experiences in South Korea

    The thing is, lesser known location in Korea are not really that suited for foreign travelers. Lot's of things got lost throughout the modern history of Korea so most of the so-called hidden gems are hard to reach, are spread out so not so much to do in one place, and are not that...

    TR Space Space Programs

    Like I've said above, new MUFS is no longer dual use technology anymore since it changed to cryogenic liquid propellant rocket. That was only true with SR 1.0 and the older MUFA/MUFS design. Turkiye is basically starting from scratch and is embarking on developing civilian only launch vehicle...

    TR Space Space Programs

    Before the problem of rocket size, SIMSEK is simply unsuitable to be used as a missile in today's military environment since it is going to be cryogenic. There's a reason that liquid fueled military rockets were all powered by hypergolics once the rocket, aircraft and reconnaissance/surveillance...

    TR Space Space Programs

    So if I am understanding it correctly, Turkiye originally planned to develop a solid rocket small-sat launcher called MUFA first and then proceed to a bigger, 1.5t to LEO launcher called UFA/SIMSEK powered by liquid fuel engine after that in 2030s, but have since then updated plans and scrapped...

    I respect your composure. I should curse SpaceX because if not for them, I wouldn't have read this thread and all the wonderful opinions here. I kinda envy how some people here have so much confidence while being so ignorant. None of them have been players in the field of space, whereas ISRO...

    India AMCA Program

    Okay, so the plan to get private industry itself is not dead yet, right? Though, does that mean that the private sector involvement is scaled back? If it's just a mere "involvement", I could see it being less significant than the joint venture scheme which was supposed to be set up.

    TR Nuclear Energy Program

    So it's probably a 3-way competition between Korea, China and Russia. I'd still expect Russia to be most ahead. Despite the war, due to Rosatom's position in worldwide nuclear industry, they were left intact, a complete opposite of their MIC. China was putting in a lot of effort in UK projects...
