Doesn't TX trainer refer to the American trainer jet program? BAE and Northrop Grumman also have a bid on that program.

Governments of Turkey have been secular ever since the inception of the republic because the law and systems of the government dictate it. When it comes to closing off factories, everyone blames each other in Turkey. Right wing blame the left and left blame the right. The actual problem here...

BMC is Turkey's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and partially (they own about 50% if I remember correctly) Qatar's GNP (Gross National Product). Investors of a company only take their fair share of the overall profit the company makes. All other spending like employee wages goes to where the...

What kind of rifle is that?

Don't trust this translation, or rather, don't trust that writer. If you want to read the Turkish translation proper, read the Diyanet version or Elmamli Hamdi Yazir. He translated the Koran in the early days of our republic for Diyanet at the request of Ataturk. If you see Koran being recited...

Guys is there a way to search this topic? (Wanted to search for every post mentioning 'engine' or ej200') Looking for info about the EJ200 engine. I'm reading conflicting things about the engine and whether or not Turkey has made a deal and if transfer of Technology is involved. Wikipedia...

Tumosan has already been working on the project for years now. If they gave it to Ford Otosan, they would have to start from scratch. Instead of Tumosan finding a foreign partner, they could partner up with For Otosan instead.

They may have built up on the know how gathered from the ToT and experience of the Atak helicopter project. And as far as I know they have been working on a domestic helicopter since 2011: https://defence.pk/threads/indigenous-turkish-helicopter-arikopter-has-been-introduced.110249/ Not sure if...

If they win or lose this T-X competition, maybe they should produce it in Turkey for TAF? TAF also use T-38 trainer aircraft right?

I heard they used an anti-tank mine during that attack. Are MRAP's (Kirpi or other models) resistant against anti-tank mines? I would assume it's not, but maybe they are?

What you wrote about Islamism aplies to any idoelogy that is willing to take it one step further. This also applies to Marxism or any other leftist ideology's. I don't fully know what's going on in XinJiang, but from the little I got exposed to is, that the Muslims aren't allowed to fast and...

Don't you think it's ironic that you call others despots and sheep, while you yourself leave an insulting comment about other's, exposing your own despotic opinion about them?

Was hoping a local company would've owned a percentage of the subsidiary TRJet as well. But still good news though obviously. I have a question, who owns the rights to the planes? SNC? Turkish governmental institution? TRJet? Is it a similar deal like the T-129? What are the specifics here...

Most projects Kul had listed were projects from the last decade though, which was AKP's government. He didn't really say anything about company's and when and by who they were established. Turkish political party's can be 'fesat'. Other party's could just cancel projects, just because it was...

I don't know that for sure. It depends on from what side you are looking at it. If you look at it from the opposite side, then the polarizing statements are more clear. It's harder to catch those types of statements from one's own side because of certain biases that we all carry. But it doesn't...

The polarization of Turkey doesn't only come from Erdogan. It comes from all political party's including it's leaders. Their politics are about demonizing each other all the time. They barely debate about an argument at hand, it's always about how bad the other one is. For instance: AKP is...

Calling other's cahil or ignorant for their opinion, only reflects badly on the person using it. Just makes the person look like a bigot, among other things.

AKP had 35% percent in their first term, and it wasn't a coalition. It has to do with individual provinces, and how many members they are able to get out of them I think. The division and polarization doesn't come from AKP or any single party. It comes from all the political party's, who are...

Ergenekon wasn't proven false. The 'Danistay saldirisi' is part of the Ergenekon trial. However, they did try to add other people and organizations to the Ergenekon case as well, with (probably, not sure) fake evidence. Currently the people behind the fake evidence behind all these cases are...

@Mert_Ank @Combat-Master When is the project deadline? And when can we expect these turbine's to be active? And when are these expected to installed in the field and sea?
