    Featured Mehmet the Conqueror: Genius emperor of Ottomans

    This is actually a mashup, the part you noticed is the Fetih Marşı, which you had asked for earlier. The other part is a famous semai from Turkish Composer Dede Efendi. Check it out if you are interested. This is Ottoman music at its finest :-)

    Featured Mehmet the Conqueror: Genius emperor of Ottomans

    This is written by Arif Nihat Asya, a Turkish poet; afaik it was written at 500th anniversary of the Conquest. The poem was also featured in video games Civilization VI, which I will include at the bottom of this post. Fetih means Conquest btw, Fatih is what you are looking for. It means the...

    U.S. Will Not Let Iran Buy Arms When U.N. Embargo Ends: Pompeo

    Well that is correct, it is actually very frustrating because there is no possible way to stop a modern air force if you lack a very expensive suite of complex tools. We have this Turkish folk poet who once said: "After gun had been invented, bravery died." :-)

    U.S. Will Not Let Iran Buy Arms When U.N. Embargo Ends: Pompeo

    No offence but I would take a modern Flanker over anything available in Iranian fleet rn.

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    I mean, this can be answered by asking the correct questions like does Turkey produce its own airborne EW suite? There was a study conducted by Aselsan quite a few years ago but it they claim there is a lack of funds and Tübitak got the project afterwards. ngl before drones let's see if we can...

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    What Anka-I and the MQ-1C does are completely different.

    How Turkey got LUCKY with the F-35?

    I think contrary to Koreans we are more willing to tech sharing / transfer of technology. Any Indonesian cooperation with Turkish Aerospace would end up with a design team of Turkish and Indonesian engineers, and that helps because you can also shape up the doctrine the aircraft comes with. I...

    Turkish Economy - News & Updates

    Automobile industry can't thrive without subcontractors and production of several components for EVs such as batteries are still in infancy in Turkey, hence Tesla's preference for developed countries.

    Turkish Industry, Science and Technology

    Aselsan doing foundry work is really interesting. They used to outsource the stunt work to 3rd parties, I guess that might also mean an in-depth, in-house FPGA production line as well. I think it is time for them to establish a civilian arm, similar to what they did with ULAK AŞ. They are also...

    Turkish Air Defence Programs

    I think we also screwed the possibility of getting SM-2 with the S-400 purchase. TF-2000 packed with SM-2ER and Gezgin could've dominated the entire Mediterranean.

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    I wouldn't think this project like that. See, both of these companies are first and foremost ISA designers. An ISA can be described as a set of specifications while designing a new microprocessor. This is not the case here because if I understood correctly they are going for an existing ISA...

    Turkish Air Defence Programs

    Posturing high and mighty while waiting for allowances from distant governments is quite a logical fallacy now don't you think? The same situation applies with the Russians and the S-400, if we think with your logic, sure enough Russians should be along with us in Libya instead of opposing us...

    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    If my memory serves right, Çakıl was supposed to be based on RISC-V ISA, I guess it would be quite logical for them to go for the embedded subset of the architecture since main applications for such a microprocessor would be embedded systems. I think it is fair to say for companies who are just...

    Turkish Air Defence Programs

    yeah sure. Never have I ever contradicted to whom TSK serves or never have I ever argued against the democracy in Turkey, yet here we are. Since you try to non sequitur hijack my arguments, you are either braindead stupid since you didn't understand any of my points in a very Dunning Kruger way...

    Turkish Air Defence Programs

    Turkish purchase of S-400 was about Eastern Med. and Eastern Med. only. If you look at the current situation of the Libyan and Eastern Mediterranean theaters, you would see France is against Turkey , so Aster was never considered for T-LORAMIDS to begin with. Turkish policymakers wanted...

    T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

    It should also be noted that some of the recent developments in Turkish economy might stall several of these projects. I think T625 (and maybe the 10 tonnes utility helicopter project if TEI can broaden their product offerings) will be realized since it has wide range of applications and can be...

    Russia starts development of a new medium-weight frontline fighter

    F-35 is cheap because of the economies of scale though. And even though there are at least hundreds of orders, it is still not that cheap. I don't think any Russian plane can achieve that kind of scale in the foreseeable future. I believe the Russian doctrine advocates frontal stealth with a...

    Which stop gap fighter would you prefer for TurAF?

    No. When Turkey bought F-16s, the sole purpose of her air force was to delay Soviets long enough until the arrival of USAF and other related US commands. That being said, Turkish doctrine changed so much as did Turkish geopolitical goals since those days. What THvKK needs more than anything is a...

    Turkish Industry, Science and Technology

    You can't actually sell an IP related to an idea as trivial as polar codes. You can sell design descriptions for several hardware components though, check their work if you are interested: products.html

    Turkish Industry, Science and Technology

    I think we are on the same page. My argument was against funding an entire ecosystem of integrated circuit manufacturing instead of finding niches like you described.
