Besides Aselsan, Tubitak Bilgem is also developing a whole family of EW pods for UAVs:
STM introduces the "NETA" family of autonomous underwater vehicles:
- TEI used a small engine to try out an afterburner as preparation for the TF10000. No engine specified but most likely they used the TJ300 as that was also their axial compressor test project.
- The first TF6000 ran almost 60 test, was dismanteled for inspection and is currently in the process of re-assembly.
- According to the CEO of TEI, the TS1400 and TF6000 use first gen single crystal turbine blades.
- TS3000 is in the preliminary design phase.

I always thought the TS1400 used 2nd gen superalloy...

Mark my words, those bastards from both sides of the political spectrum in power will act as if nothing has happened...
A male terrorist has been confirmed to be from the PKK and although it is yet to be confirmed, we believe the female terrorist is from the women's wing of the PKK in Syria - the so called "democratic" SDF.
It was a 3 man team with suicide vests - a common tactic employed by the PKK/SDF.
Chinese-Turkish arms development is a love-hate relationship. Started with the tug-of-war (pun intended) to allow the Varyag through the straits, ended up in a comprehensive cooperation spanning rockets, missiles, aircraft design inspiration (KE/J-20) and electronics till this day...
Take it with or without a grain of salt
Or Soviet 2k25 krasnopol. All of them have very similar layout, four fins front and back, even the shapes of the fins and deployment mechanism. I don't think similarity means anything about cooperation. FC-31 looks very similar to F-22, but that does not mean China and US worked together.
BTW, I dare say that kizilelma is very different from J-20 even though they looks very similar. TAI for some reason that I don't understand picked up J-20 layout, but does not make kizilelma having similar characteristic as J-20 as I questioned in earlier post.
