The acquisition of Italian giant Aerospace by the Turkish unmanned combat aerial vehicle producer marks a milestone for the Turkish industry, according to experts. Founded in 1884, Piaggio Aerospace is best known for producing P.180 Avanti business jets, and aircraft engines. Italy last week approved the sale of the company to Baykar. “This is a remarkable development for [the Turkish aviation sector],” commented Erdoğan Karakuş, a retired lieutenant general. Piaggio is a well-established company that has a certain level of aircraft construction capability and engine technology, he said, noting that Türkiye is not currently building small-scale passenger airplanes. “One of the issues we face is engine production. In this respect, this is a remarkable development,” Karakuş furthered. “Through this company [Piaggio Aerospace], we can produce fire-fighting aircraft and propeller-driven aircraft for short-distance flights,” he explained. This cooperation will take Baykar to better places, said Güray Alpar, a retired major general, welcoming the deal as a “wise decision.” “We are ahead in some areas. It [the acquisition of Piaggio] will benefit both sides,” Alpar commented, adding that this may open new doors to cooperation between the two countries in many areas. Technology sharing is the key issue in this deal, according to Alpar, who also pointed out the problems Türkiye is having with developing engines.

Shannon Sharpe has revealed a private conversation with Kirk Herbstreit following a disagreement between the two ESPN broadcasters over college football. The dispute arose from differing opinions on the current state of the Ohio State Buckeyes , and it seems the fallout has extended beyond just football talk. Sharpe had questioned the position of Buckeyes' head coach Ryan Day at Herbstreit's alma mater on First Take. Herbstreit publicly expressed his disapproval of the criticism on First Take, leading to a heated response from Stephen A.Smith and Sharpe. Kirk Herbstreit has 'obvious' explanation for Ohio State dominating Tennessee Shane Gillis torches Nick Saban in awkward College Gameday interaction "First Take tried to fire him, they thought he was done," Herbstreit said about the scrutiny directed at Day. "So I'm excited to see what they talk about on Monday after this performance. "They had him out. They were trying to find replacements. But here he is. He's still got his hat on. He's still coaching." On 'Night Cap' with Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, Sharpe discussed the situation with Herbstreit. He shared that they had spoken and Herbstreit had tried to explain his perspective. "My point was, and I don't know if he was talking to me, but I did not think the commentary was warranted," Sharpe said. "Yes, the Buckeyes won. Everyone knows Kirk Herbstreit was schooled at Ohio State. "I believe you can stand up for your friends and alma mater without taking a shot at your teammates. And I felt he was taking a shot at First Take. That's why I'm glad that Herbie reached out.

I know he is happy that Ohio State won and is good friends with Ryan Day. However, being good friends and then taking a shot are different situations. I just needed clarity: Are we teammates or not? That is all I needed to know. Because if we are not teammates, then let's throw caution to the wind." In response to the ex-Ohio State quarterback's statements, Sharpe had previously defended himself on First Take: "I am going to be a teammate. I will let it slide since everyone's at ESPN, especially because you have not taken the rocks you have taken. "I would have lit them up," the three-time Super Bowl champion declared. "Congratulations, Ohio State. You won. However, if we are going to be on the same team or work on the same network, then don't do that. "Kirk, Chris Fowler, I promise you, if you ever mention anything about any platform that I am on again, talking about, I wonder what they are going to say in negativity. I promise you ESPN doesn't have enough bosses to keep me off y'all for what I am going to say." Smith also responded fervently to Herbstreit following his remarks, as he too refuted the accusations against him: "Kirk Herbstreit, 'First Take tried to get him fired.' That is not true. I did. Not First Take. That was me, Stephen A. I'm going to own that," Smith asserted. "And what did I say specifically, Kirk Herbstreit, because you've got to quote me accurately, my brother. I watch you on College Football GameDay. I don't misquote you, don't misquote me. What I said was, this man Ryan Day, if he doesn't get a national championship he should go, even with a 66-10 record."
