If I recall correctly from and interview, Pindad is responsible promoting the tank in Asia, while FNSS is responsible for promoting it in Europe. It is devided something along these lines. When it comes to production and export, I am sure they will go with wichever way is more pragmatic and...
During the early days of this conflict in Libya, when I first read about it. I read that Turkey was backing the junta in Libya (or that's how I misinterpreted back in the day). LNA, GNA I still don't know which is which before checking. Anyway I thought Turkey was backing Haftar and I was so...
TS1400 is going to be delivered to TAI this year. So it is safe to assume that TAI will integrate the engines into helicopters soon. However I do not really know how certification etc. works in the aviation industry and how long such a process takes or what is required. I dont recall reading or...
I think we are missing one of the most significant conclusions regarding TJ-300. According to TEI director (when informing minister Varank), they started work on the engine two and a half years ago, and that the engine fired in the video was the second TJ-300. The first engine was tested a...
It's like beating a deadhorse at this point as this topic has been discussed many times over but Altay project was not delayed due to corruption. That is all rhetoric that is of political origin (sad to say, our political level is pretty low. Attacking the character rather than discussing the...
It's also about what engine Indonesia wants since they are the end user. Indonesia will probably not want an engine change at this point due to logistics and maintenence. Going with a new engine would be risky for them, unless they make some sort of deal in which the benefits outweigh the...
Marhsall plan started in 48 till 52 in Tukey. Menderes came to power in 50. Inonu was in charge when Marshall plan started.

It is easy to critisize the Marshall plan and those in charge back then because hindsight is 20/20, but we got to consider it in...
As far as I know there was only one tender for the serial production of Altay which started in november 2017 and conluded about a year later.
Not counting Otokar's exclusivity rights to offer a price for serial production. The acceptance tests for Altay was passed in february of 2017. Somewhere...
Can you provide a source for this? The city hospitals and bridge.
We also got to consider the long term effects of these investments as well as the reasons for why these investments were made. An investment can lose money in it's early stages or short term, but usually infrastructure projects...
Is Aselsan going into the armored vehicles business? Or are they just focusing on the sub-systems for armored vehicles?
They did have an original IFV on display at IDEF 17 (also seen in the picture, left middle but in a different configuration), but I thought that was just to display Korhan...
Didn't he say that TEI was going to double the horsepower to 3000hp for the engine. I assumed that would be the engine for Atak 2 and maybe even the heavy lift helicopter?
Edit: At the 34 minute mark he is saying that Atak 2 prototypes will use foreign engines, but TEI will work on increasing...
You seem to know your stuff, that is why I hope you can answer these questions. What is going on with the Pardus project? In the previous post it basicly said that the project failed due to some decision like pisi and debian (no idea what these are btw) based. But you are saying it continues, to...
You missed the point of my post, read it again please. I was explaining flaws of the source you posted and the negative consequences that follow from it (the replies on the tweet). It makes people fear, distrust or even hate the opposite side of their own political opinions. I used the source as...
The media article tries to shame by saying that he posted tweets, then deleting it, it attacks the man but does nothing that adds anything of value to the table (thus showing it's true colors (policy) with only one article). Meaning it is subjective not objective. This is a common tactic to...
Mass production will be at Karasu tank palet factory. BMC's own factory which is being built in a newly developing industry zone is still ongoing. I don't know the details of whether BMC will shift production from Karasu to the new plant when it is done though.
Baykar and TAI are strategic companies. No ruling party, doesn't matter which one will come in the future, would let any harm come to these companies. If they were to harm any of these companies it would be straight up treason.
Baykar's advantage is its company vision. They are one of the...
