To me it does not make much sense to compared APG-81 with ECRS MK2. One is fielded in thousand of aircrafts while the other one still in testing. In fact, it is more accurate and fair to compare APG-85 with ECRS MK2. Even though, APG-85 is delayed by two years, (originally planned to be fielded...

Aselsan has come up with many variants of its short to medium range air defense solutions. I wonder if there will be truck based version of SIPER system. (Specially radars, power vehicles, and launchers) At least for export offering. Currently it is all trailer based. Because for countries...

AIM-260 BVRM.

Bruh, 65 KAAN would cost something around 13 billions. That's two third of their current forex.

So the this engine is a separate project than TF35000?
