TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

Does anyone know if two seater Kaan will come?

I don't believe that a two-seater variant could exist either. At least according to the statements of Mr. Gorgun and Demiroglu, they leave no room for thought...
But, you know what?... In fact, if we think about it carefully, with the integration of AI in KAAN and with the pilot's smart helmet, then yes, we can say that
"it will be two-seater"...

 

[Strong AI]

What we should do is give Kaan ability to fly semi autonomous so pilots cognitive load will be reduced and they can focus on mission systems rather than flight and have their arms and hands free

That's just an Autopilot.

Yes but imagine you can leave things to autopilot during engagement

Do you need the pilot at all then?

I found an article from April discussing how the FCAS Fighter Program is experiencing difficulties, as Dassault Aviation appears to hint that it is satisfied with the way the program is progressing. We might see a repeat of what happened when the French left the Eurofighter program. I'm wondering if perhaps Spain's interest in the Hurjet can be a way for it to dip its toes into the KAAN project, just in case the FCAS falls through.

What do you guys think? Am I reading too much into this, or what?

Every military project involving France and Germany(together) is doomed to faill or end.
And then there are the costs,each system would probably cost 500 million euro when the French are involved.

the comments lol:

I'm not sure theres any nation that gets away with as much as the French, even here in Canada they have a ridiculous leeway.

There are difficulties with canopy and launch seat design, we adhered to F35 shape to keep it simple. Redesigning would be too major for now. What we should do is give Kaan ability to fly semi autonomous so pilots cognitive load will be reduced and they can focus on mission systems rather than flight and have their arms and hands free

Who said we have difficulties with canopy and ejection seat design?
For flying semi autonomous, we have developed AI engine. That’s why we don’t need a second pilot.

There might be a news about Kaan in tomorrow Indodefence expo

[what]

That begs the question, why Kaan now and not KF-21 back then when Indonesia was a full partner?

SSST claims Turkey and Indonesia will sign a G2G agreement for Indonesia to join the program and order 48 Kaans.

So now people realize the importance of making Kaan at once rather than taking a long time; you've got to prove to the audience that you can make it so that they can join you rather than joining someone else.

Indonesia will purchase 48 KAANs. The 10-year project is worth over 10 billion dollars.

Confirmed! Massive for Turkiye's defence industry.

I would like to share with the nation a very important and beautiful development regarding our national combat aircraft KAAN...

Within the framework of the agreement we signed with our friend and brother Indonesia, 48 KAANs will be produced in Turkey and exported to Indonesia.

Indonesia's local capabilities will also be utilized in the production of the KAAN.

I hope that this agreement, which demonstrates the development and the point reached by our domestic and national defense industry, will be beneficial for Turkey and Indonesia.

I convey my greetings and thanks to my esteemed counterpart, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who played a major role in the signing of the agreement with his will.

@SavunmaSanayii Our Presidency and @TUSAS_TR I would like to congratulate all the organizations that have contributed to the production of KAAN and the signing of this record-breaking export contract in Turkey's history.

I wish the continued success of all our companies, which we have provided all kinds of support for the further strengthening of our defense industry and which we will support with determination from now on, and I express my gratitude to all my brothers and sisters working in the defense industry.

Kaan order book opened with an entry by Indonesia. Below map is my personal guess for the near future.

Can Pakistan order KAAN after receiving J-35?
Can Turkey provide a loan so that Pakistan can buy KAAN?

Why not?
Pakistan,

F-16 USA
JF-17 China/Pakistan
J-10 China

So,why not?

Will be too many expensive jets, they are buying 40 new 5th gens, awacs and air defense form China, they seem to have realized the immediacy of their weaknesses after recent incident and won't wait for Kaan and won't have money for it any time soo. Maybe in the future
