Turkish Aerospace: High Tech and Growing

The Turkish aircraft industry is on a roll. With the excellent performance of Bayraktar TB-2 drones in Ukraine, and the development of the larger, more capable Akinci twin engine high-altitude drone, Turkish military aviation is moving into systems that are comparable in performance to industry heavyweights from America, China and Russia.

The new TF-X program will take Turkish aerospace to the next level, with the production of the first stealthy, fifth-generation air superiority fighter from a non-superpower. And it’s not just the airframes. The Turkish industries are capable of supplying a wide variety of munitions, sensors and critically, advanced active electronically scanned array radars. Stealth fighters are very expensive for smaller nations, but if the Turkish program can deliver fifth-generation fighters at something approximating fourth-generation prices, the global market will be enormous.

A turkish saying quotes: "A bad neighbor will make you a house owner".
After decades of embargoes from so called allies Turkiye began developing it's own defence industry. And it actually paid off

[rifenossimple]

Full support for Turkey from Morocco🇲🇦🇲🇦❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷 on the way to full independence from the West.

[sal.]

More power to Turkiye from Pakistan. May you keep soaring and be a source of strength and hope for the oppressed like your forefathers were.

The reason for the US embargo was never the S-400 missile systems. It was just an excuse for us. There are more than 25 issues of disagreement between Turkey and the US, and the US is not willing to compromise on these issues. For example, it provides free weapons to a subsidiary of the PKK called SDG, which is a terrorist organization in the south, and provides training to terrorists. those terrorists are killing Turkish citizens with these weapons. instead of turkey, which is a nato ally and has one of the strongest armies, it allies with terrorists.
Similarly, Turkey, which is fighting against Russian expansionism in Libya and the eastern Mediterranean, is left alone by its NATO allies and an embargo is imposed on it.
US generals and politicians write the history of stupidity.

It's crazy, this video is only 3 weeks old and since then Turkey unveiled and or test flew half a dozen new even more advanced drones and planes since then.

Bir TÜRK vatandaşı olarak güzel yorumlarınızdan ötürü ve bu güzel video için teşekür ederiz. :)

[Turgineer]

We are proud to see the development of the Turkish defense industry.

Should have also mentioned the TAI Anka, TAI Aksungur and Lentatek Karayel drones (and the upcoming Baykar TB3, TAI Anka-3 and STM Alpagut drones). And should have mentioned the fact that every Western European state with the exception of the UK and Spain have arms embargoes against Turkey and so does Canada and to a large extent the US, all due to anti-Turkey lawmakers and lobbyists. As a result Turkish weapons are as indigenous as possible, more than most countries, and therefore foreign countries have little control over export permits.

Even weapons where foreign engines were relied upon such as the T129 Atak helicopter and the Altay battle tank, have led to ongoing development of domestic engines. Germany sabotaged and delayed the Altay program for years before finally slapping an informal embargo in 2019 thereby preventing sale of their engines. Their informal embargo against Turkey dates back to the early 2010s and even prevented small arms transfers, which directly led to Turkey turning inwards and led to the boom of the Turkish small arms industry, quickly propelling it to one of the world's largest small arms exporters.

I'm impressed, great job Turkiye.

[Janniserie]

Hello to our Polish friends from Turkey 🇹🇷🇵🇱💪🏻

[tunc]

As Turkish Defence Industry Manager Ismail Demir states, "we don't need to comment on who is more powerful, if it ever gets to that which we don't hope, we will show the world who has the military power"

[Shockwelle]

as a Turk i hope the west put more embargoes on Turkey, coz evry embargo makes Turkey to develop its own. Turkey produces already 80 percent of Military need by it self. an indepent nation needs an indepent military, and thats what Turkey is going to achieve

[iroglxd]

You should have touched upon the ongoing stealth UCAV projects - Bayraktar Kizilelma (first flight - last december and mass production in 2024) and Anka 3 (first flight in coming months)

[theancientsancients]

The next generation successor of TB2 will be more stealthy and have a longer range and load. The Anka 3 was recently revealed a stealthy bomber drone by TEI and Kizalema a unmanned fighter drone by Bayktar

[brettk]

Glad Turkey is in NATO same with Poland they are the next two European superpowers in my opinion.

[mcelik]

Congratulations on the analysis that is much more accurate than other western sources.

The Turkish-made TB2 is by far the world's best-selling MALE drone. The surveillance system used in this aircraft was Wescam cameras manufactured in Canada by the USA's L3 Harris. The global Armenian diaspora demanded an embargo on the grounds that TB2s were used during the Armenia-Azerbaijan war. A group of ultranationalist Armenians demonstrated in front of L3 Harris' factory. As a result, the L3 Harris Wescam ceased to be sold. A few months after this event, the Turkish electronics company Aselsan launched its first camera. In 2020, one was produced per month. Last year, the average monthly camera production increased to 10. Currently, more than 10 countries are using TB2s with cameras carrying Aselsan products. The number is increasing. Because Wescam is a camera suitable for general use. However, the cameras produced by Aselsan are special for fighter drones. In this way, it has features such as targeting from a distance. As a result, the Armenian lobby and the politicians it financed opened up a good job for the Turks. L3 Harris has lost one of the fastest growing markets. In today's world, if embargoes were successful, countries like Iran or North Korea should never have existed.

[timestorm]

These are just a small bright beginning(tip of the iceberg) from a great nation! Their top secret projects will be even above and beyond of those superpowers' imagination!

[ordanburdan]

We owe a big thank you to the anti-Turkish American senators. We have made progress in the defense industry.😂

[simplebutcomplicated]

Keep bringing more embargoes to Turkey. and they will create even stronger defense system on their own. Bear in mind all weapons and defense system developed in turkey are in constant field test because turkey is always in a conflict. they are using this advantage to fine tune and perfect all of their systems.
