According to the CEO of TEI, when the Anka started serial production, the foreign supplier of the engine stopped the supply. A week after TEI developed the PD-155, the supplier reversed their embargo and lowered the price by 40%!

LMAO, Many such cases of short term gain for long term pain!

Canik arms CEO Utku Aral:

We are about to purchase 80% of AEI Systems, a British defense industry company that also produces 20mm, 25mm and 30mm cannons. We are waiting for final permissions.

Together with the purchase and the investments we will make, it will be an operation worth approximately 1 billion liras.

Aselsan better speed up their Aselflir-F500C and -600 and whatever the new MEROPS is. They are literally missing out on hundreds of million of $ annually.

Fun fact, with a wing area of ~34 m2 (not official, guesstimated by me by adding 16% to the wing area of a Gripen B/D which has the same length as the Kizilelma but smaller wingspan (by 16%)), the Kizilelma will have a wingloading of mere ~180 kg/m2 at MTOW.
I wonder what the take-off/landing speed is...

LERX will boost lift during takeoff as well.
