Contrary to popular beliefs Weibo doesn’t just share Chinese, U.S., or Russian gear. There is also a Weibo guy who dedicates to Turkish armament. Of late however everyone is focused on Zhuhai, him included.
"Before the domestic engine for Bayraktar Kızılelma, an engine will be developed in partnership with Ukraine Baykar. There will be 3 different engine options in the 5-year projection for Kızılelma.
With a length of 3.4 meters, it'll fit easily into the Kizilelma weapons bay. Theoretically, it can carry 6 IHA-230 (2 IWB, 4x hardpoint) and with its 2x higher speed and high altitude, the IHA-230 should be able to easily reach 200km!
Are there any availble resources where one can read about the history of aircraft and aircraft components manufacturing and development in Turkey?.
I was aware Turkey made parts for the F-16 and the F-4, as far as I am aware, but I'm curious in how they seem to be overtaking India in many projects despite the fact that the latter seemed to have been going at it longer and with more help.
