Turkish Nuclear Program (Civil/Military)

[PakAl]

I can see in 10 years time Turkey being a true regional power

they need more military satellites to keep a eye on the Israeli air bases but around 30-40 military satellites should cover Israel on a 24/7 basis

By 2040 Turkic Union will be more united and intergrated, if everything goes well, that will be the time when Turkey will become a true regional power. They will also have 5th to 5.5th generation airforce, own missiles, Stealth drones, destroyers, own submarines, 1000s of 1000m+ ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles, military satellites.

Look if Turkey wants nuclear weapons, then it needs to get out of Non-Proliferation Treaty, which it ratified.

Being in the NPT is useless. Look at Iran. It provides no protection.

You don't leave the NPT and then build the bomb, you build it and then exit it. Turkey is very far from that right now. It needs to build up it Nuclear tech first, and then enrichment.

USA and Turkiye should work on Thorium based nuclear reactors


Europe doesnt have energy sources ( natural gas , thorium , etc )
There is enough thorium in Turkiye alone to power the Europe at its current energy level for over 500 years

and Thorium is less dangerous than uranium and Thorium is future of clean energy

If USA does not cooperate, then cooperation should be made with China.

Turkiye's TUNAS, South Korea's KEPCO sign deal on nuclear power cooperation​

Turkiye's TUNAS nuclear energy company and South Korea's power utility KEPCO have signed a memorandum of understanding on nuclear energy cooperation

South Korea is seeking to take part in Turkiye's plan to build its second nuclear power plant in Sinop on the Black Sea coast, with the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) having submitted a preliminary bid to join the construction project.

Baykar is diversifying into a lot of new industries. They are really turning into a national champion of sorts, the same way Samsung and Chaebols are in South Korea or Keiretsu in Japan.

Drones, Baykar Space Launch Vehicles, GPS constellation, Baykar Engines, Baykar Nuclear, I think they have almost every high tech future growth thing covered.

When you put dozen off smart people together with money, good things will happen.

Funny stuff, its all tied together in a way, even if it feels distant, What seljuk is doing is vertical integration, something we don't usually see these days. lol

The Small Modular reactors will power the Datacenters with the hardware that needs electricity to train the AI that will power the UCAVs whose engine will also be built by Baykar, which will be connected to the satelite link which was launched from a Ferghani Launch vehicle.

Really in that entire ecosystem the only thing Baykar doesn't control is the chips in the datacenter. lol, but it would be crazy is Baykar decides to get into chips next, but honestly thats probably the hardest industry to try to build inhouse.
