America Out Of Business
From a bullet to the most sophisticated aircraft, Türkiye is coming up with sophisticated mass production schemes. America was once master of all Türkiye can now do or does.
Where do I get a headline like this? How can I make such a general reference with any credibility? My answer would be, not to pose these questions to me. The facts are out there. America is out of business in manufacturing a bullet, but will also be out of business in providing fifth generation aircraft. Who is the culprit? First, read my previous post here!
KILLERS OF AMERICAN JOBS
The extent of American-job-loss ranges from a bullet to an aircraft. They both require tons of particular technologies.
Up until now, the US was the sole supplier of both to much of the world. Now, one is long gone. The other is on its way out too.
America Out Of Business
It is hard to imagine but in the past two decades America lost significant global market share. Two Turkish companies, basically, now control the market from bullets to guns. Another Turkish company is making great headways to put an end to the fighter aircraft business in America.
Sarsilmaz and Canik
Sarsilmaz develops bullets but also a variety of guns, including machine guns. Canik is its formidable competitor across the board. Recently it also purchased a leading British company with a particular technology.
The problem is, coupled with how Canik made progress in this field, these two Turkish companies can now supply Western Alliance members. Their products are NATO qualified and priced competitively.
Bullets and guns aside, they now also dominate in machine guns. Sarsilmaz and Canik have developed their indigenous versions to perfection. Turkiye does not need to buy them anymore for any land, sea, and air platforms from America.
Sarsilmaz
Sarsilmaz, for example, indigenously develops and mass manufactures copper and silver bullets. They require one of a kind technologies.
As a result, it is able to supply them primarily to the Turkish armed forces. After that, NATO member states will also buy the same. The third world will follow them.
Canik
Canik first made a name with a handgun. Now it is in demand across police forces alongside militaries in the Western countries.
Canik is a better gun but it is also priced competitively. Canik first replaced American brands. Now it is sure to dominate export markets as it gets brand recognition.
Turkish Aerospace Industries
The name says it all. The Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) is everywhere from sky to space. It is in the helicopter, airplane, aircraft, drone, and satellite business. It also develops and mass manufactures engines for all of the above with its sister company.
Airplanes and Aircrafts
TAI is a very competitive and the best quality in its field. For example, Boeing or Airbus cannot fly without crucial parts from TAI. Yet, TAI’s expertise is not limited with parts. It is expected to build its commercial airplane next.
TAI has already achieved a similar feat in much more difficult areas, like the military aircrafts sector. This year it plans to start the test flies of KAAN, an indigenous Turkish version of the Lockheed Martin produced F-35. Thanks to the US Senators!
