I agree that with all my heart. We need cheap (3-5 million $), no expensive or difficult to produce sensors and somewhat expandable/attritable drone. It has to be cheap, that is the key for so it can be produced at industrial scale. Also capable enough to can not be ignored, lets say "trouble...

Today is a groundbreaking success and each one of the followings are historical turning points for us: First, OUR RADAR is matured enough to lock to an aircraft from a flying jet Second, OUR MISSILE is matured enough to engage an aircraft and eliminate it by getting signal from our radar...

Of course aircraft leaks oil. But there are limits for that, depending on engine. I remember maintanence guy counted the drops, if it is (lets say) under 15 drops a minute while the engine running idle, the aircraft is good to go for (lets say again) 2 hours of flight and inspect further after...

EF will be our first non US made fighter jet after the participation of NATO. Also the first dedicated air superiority fighter our Air Force ever has. These two factors extremely important and turning points imho. BTW, Meteors are also coming

A lot of people here have answered your question. We can enhanced and discuss more of course, but since you imply F35s, one of the most crucial vulnerability of our airforce is we have always dependent to one source so far, even one type of aircraft. We have seen the consequences, black mails...

It is refreshing to see some realist decision making unfolding these days. - F-16s are not enough to protect our skies against F15s or Rafales let alone F35s, even with AESA radars - We need twin engines pure air superiority aircraft - We cannot rely on neither single type of aircraft (F-16s)...

The rumored and potential Spain situation and British position is not the same thing. Lets remember a bit: We called British to get help for engine development. IP rights were going to belong two countries. We could sell the engine other countries too, without restrictions. Year was 2017 by the...

Some reasons: - Time: If a competent company get involved, overcoming technical difficulties would be much faster - Money: Development costs will be divided - Economics of scale: The more it is produced, the lower the price becomes. - Marketability: Sellling countries like Spain can open...

Of course he is. That is the basic cost analysis in anywhere in the world I think some of us mixing up what KE cost to Baykar or us as a nation. He is an aircraft manufacturer, he does not take into account radar or sensors, they are for users. And yes, an empty KE could be 5 or 10 times...

If you explain things what he says is impossible, it would be a much productive argument. Instead, you just saying he is lying. We are tired of that kind of attitude.

Agree that , he also explicitly said that 5 or 10 times cheaper than 5. gen aircrafts. If you count all the expenses 20x 30x cheaper he outlined But you know, media is always tend to exagerrate things to get more views. If one doesnt watch entire program, headline or fixed subtitles can be very...

Half of Europe united and created 1 ramjet AA missile, we on ourselves created 2 ramjet AA missiles: Gokbora and Gokhan This is not small UAVs like Baykar and Tusaş making almost identical ones, like Kalkan and others. There may be export consideration. But we are talking about extremely...

From this stage, there is no turning back, otherwise noone would do business with them. Eurofighters are coming

That is almost a new missile. Original Tayfun is 2300 kg, 610 mm and 6.5 m length. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/uploads/docs/kataloglar/TR/2024/1726595739_tayfun.pdf

And has to be a ramjet 💪
