    I know he did not say this; this comes from me. There are huge (6 billion barrels of estimated reserves) untapped shale oil reserves in the Diyarbakır Raman basin. This is unconventional oil. TPAO will extract it together with Transatlantic Petroleum and Continental Resources. There are also...

    IMHO Chinese ground based EMALS will be used to launch drones similar to Kratos MQ-58 Valkyrie. A small crane can lift the UCAV and put it on EMALS without a problem. I would be very surprised if Chinese launch anything heavier than 4000kg.

    TPAO has a goal to increase oil production to 500k barrels per day(approx. half of daily consumption) in 3 years. Lions' share will come from fracking operations in the Diyarbakır Raman basin.

    Baykar wants to have in-house datalinks because 1) They design their own avionics accordingly. 2) They have their own plans/performance goals for their assets that require datalinks tailored to match those goals. If you want to develop an unmanned fighter that can operate autonomously and create...

    Development of IVDL is at a similar level to MURAD AESA and Toygun. It is not in serial production, but it is being tested actively.

    Chinese EMALS and American EMALS are different applications of the same principle. The Chinese use EMALS with huge success. Reported launch tempo and reliability is top level that is why they developed a land version for small UCAVs. Most of the time such UCAVs comes with rocket assisted launch...

    This is not the first time Baykar has done this. TB2 and Akıncı don't use Aselsan products as datalinks.

    Those UCAVs don't need an airfield to land. They can land on asphalt roads. With this EMALS, you can launch those UCAVs from inside buildings, you can dig tunnels to a mountain, and launch them from there.

    It seems like it is not as important as you think, since Baykar is using Azra datalink instead of Aselsan products, and SSB and TAF look to be okay with this. BTW, both KAAN and Anka 3 will have Aselsan datalinks; there is no ambiguity on that front. TAF and SSB may ask Baykar to integrate...

    It doesn't matter. Kızılelma is a Baykar project. Baykar has the right to decide which subsystem will be used on its platforms. Tomorrow, Baykar can remove Toygun and replace it with a Leonardo product. It is their platform, their choice. On the other hand, Turkish Armed Forces might ask for a...

    It is available, but Kızılelma is Baykar's platform, and Baykar may choose to develop a new datalink on its own or use a datalink from other sources. On the other hand TUSAS has to use Aselsan's datalink as Aselsan is an official partner of the MMU project and is responsible for electronic...
