Have you ever visited MKE bro? I mean we all knew collectively how bad MKEK was but the fact that they are this far gone is kind of surprizing. If its that bad then it should be atleast partially privatized if not completely because this is just sad. A company and institution with this much history going all the way back to the Ottoman Empire should not be in this piss poor of a state. Fucking depressing stuff if this is true.
I don't want to go into details but yeah. I'm not making up stuff or relaying stuff that i have heard from another person. I'm only talking about things which i saw with my eyes. Also working in the private sector, it is really easy for me to spot what's going wrong in the state institutions.

I dont see why MKE cannot be at least partially be privatized. We need these companies to be competitive and not bureaucratic. Of course the state should always keep a controlling stake.
Simply no one would buy it. Because if you are privatizing it the investor would seek profit.

My solution would be;

First give some production responsibilities to other companies. Like, Let Roketsan produce explosives. Give private companies with the task of producing firearms.

Than kill the beast.

MKE will be successful because now it can contract Aselsan for FCS, Anova for the water cooling system, another company for servos, etc. This is how 76mm naval gun is successfully developed.
You are saying as if they were not been able to do so as if someone barred them. They are and were using sub-contractors.

Wait a minute. Why don't you google "MKE R&D" and see what returns?

Nope state institutions can't use subcontractors easily. They have to open tenders which is a lengthy process. Sometimes it takes more than a year to select a company to design a cooling mechanism. Moreover, MKE was a state-owned institution now they are similar to "-SANs" in how they operate.
