Maybe I am wrong but it appears to me that Turkey is attempting to reignite it's Ottoman ambitions, exerting influence around the Mediterranean and Red Sea. It's already involved militarily in Libya, with Tripoli being ~1300km away from Turkey, as well as Somalia and Sudan.

I do not get this obsession both native and foreign people have over the Ottoman Empire. It is long gone and Turkey getting more adventurous on the international stage has nothing to do with it.

Comparing Turkish foreign policy with that of the past and claiming Turkey is deemed to reclaim the empire is just racist, lazy and click-bait journalism that tries to portray anything that doesn't submit to Western ambitions as evil and tyrannous.

And when native people do it, it is nothing more than empty chest bumping that doesn't match the reality.

You wouldn't have to type all of this if you just observed casually with proper comprehension. Anyways, you're going on a tangent; somebody said 'Turkey doesn't need an aircraft carrier' and I'm just pointing out why they might. The largest foreign Turkish base is more than 3000km away from it's soil, and the country is militarily active in overseas conflicts.

Another year, another bunch (14) of new R&D projects signed into existence:

public



A signing ceremony was held for newly launched R&D projects in the Turkish defense industry
The Signing Ceremony of the R&D Projects initiated by the Presidency of Defense Industries to meet the needs of the Forces was attended by President of Defense Industries Prof. Dr. It was held at SSB with the participation of Haluk Görgün, Turkish Armed Forces, academy and sector representatives.

SSB President Görgün stated the following in his speech at the Signing Ceremony:

“Today, we have come together for the signing ceremony of our fourteen R&D Projects, the project work of which has been completed. Creating mechanisms for the rapid industrialization and commercialization of the technological knowledge produced in our universities and research centers through these projects is another important priority that we prioritize. We believe that we will ensure that knowledge turns into both economic and competitive power with the high-tech products produced with this method. In order to build the Turkish defense industry in line with Turkey's Global Power Vision; “I wish you success in our R&D studies that we will carry out together as the public, academy and private sector, with the belief that defense industry products with advanced technology, developed in the light of science and knowledge, will contribute to leading other sectors.”

A total of thirteen contractors and subcontractors, including universities, SMEs and companies, were included in the projects created with collaborative models, and with the new R&D Projects signed, reducing foreign dependency in meeting the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces and security forces, providing original, It is aimed to implement national solutions containing local, advanced technology and to increase our country's R&D and technology competence.

Some interesting information from a user on another forum about these 3 projects:

IMO this indeed builds upon the PhD program initiated by TEI, Tubitak and Gebze university back in November 2020. So now it could've received state support from SSB to continue the studies:

The Turks wants to venture into CMC for gasturbines. A very good and necessary development indeed. The first indications of this can be found here:

Research on CMC started over a year ago.

Overall, a very welcoming development.
