Kok group owner of Karsan maybe?

Unknown as of yet, for the TF-X project. TAI (producer of TF-X) hasn't confirmed anything yet. TAEC will compete with TR Motor (Joint venture from BMC, Tusas Engine industries (TEI) and SSM (state entity), with technical support from Rolls Royce). So either way, Roll Royce is involved. We don't...

Even the Chinese had to start somewhere. And sure they are struggling, and I'm sure we will struggle as well. Murphy's law. TR Motor will enjoy TEI's experience and technical assistance from Rolls Royce, so the base is there. If it would fail, it won't be due to the lack of experience. The...

No offence but judging from your post, it seems rather ironic that you call others sheeple, and here is why: You seem to have a heavy bias towards one or the other end of the political spectrum. This is probably compounded on by the one sided media you follow, compounding on biases (I don't...

The company hasn't been established yet (as far as I know). So of course they aren't going to have any experience, same goes for TAEC. That doesn't mean that they will fail, we have plenty of examples of companies doing well in area's they had 0 experience with prior. Experience isn't needed...

TR motor company is going to be a company on it's own. The shareholders behind this company isn't really relevant. And you may hate BMC, but you gotta applaud their attitude, they have ambitions to grow as a company and are actively and aggressively trying to expand their business in especially...

According to the first slide in the tweet, it says the Leopard 2A4's are being modernized with the Rheinmetal solution. Didn't Roketsan or Aselsan have a Leopard 2NG solution? I wonder why they didn't go with the NG. I do remember the armor for NG was supposed to be imported from Germany and...

The director of MKE said they completed these tests in january of 2018, and it failed the -40 degree's test. And that they fixed this issue and will test again in the following weeks. Quote from source (as posted on twitter by Turan Oguz): "Sonuc itibariyla, yil basinda Pakistan'da yapilan...

Media outlet Sozcu is not a reputable source and they always add their own twists to sway the readers opinion, even the headline is clickbait and trolly: 'an 8 year long friend trap' or 'a trap of 8 years in the making by a friend'. The Turan Oguz twitter posted the facts without judgment or...

Which company is making this? And Advantech (the maker of the the killer drone in the video) isn't a Turkish company?

Haha, nah the center of the world was wherever Nasrettin Hoca was standing. I remember this because I really liked that joke when I first heard it. And I guess technically it is Konya since he lived there.

I prefer Izmir over Kocaeli even though Kocaeli's stadium is pretty nice (Istanbul, Kocaeli and Bursa are pretty grouped together). And it would've been great if there was an Aegean city like Izmir in there. Would've made it easier for Greek supporters to enjoy the games as well.

It's says Indonesia, not Malaysia in the twitter post.

Temel Kotil said 2025 for first flight in a conference. So I think they revised maiden flight date from 2023 to 2025.

Nope. It is a Turkish company (same goes for FNSS, etc). They do business and pay taxes in Turkey, they support and supplement Turkish industry and economy. The financiers behind the company is irrelevant. But lets talk about the financiers anyway. Sure you can say the profit goes to foreign...

I think the acceleration is more because of urgent need, rather than development schedule for Altay. If they start delivery in 2018, than that probably means it will be implemented in the current inventory of tanks (Leopards and M60T's). But I'm just guessing here.

Camouflage in Turkey is always a hit and a miss. Gendarmerie's new camo is great, but the recent woodland type camo that will be implemented (hopefully not) is hideous and it is a step backwards. New camo's should be digital type pattern, like our army currently has (if it ain't broke, don't fix...

They should also make a 6.5 or 6.8 caliber version and get it over with. Might have a bigger chance for export as it has less competition in those caliber ranges.

I'm pretty sure Korhan is just the turret? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the armored vehicle, is not called Korhan? Is the armored vehicle just a placeholder or is it an actual Aselsan project/product?

The financiers behind the companies is irrelevant. What is important is to whom the rights to the tank belongs to. The rights for Altay belong to SSM. They only give a company (in this case BMC) to manufacture and assemble the tank (not design it). If SSM was so inclined, they could decide to...
