M88 Engine (Rafale’s Engine). Rafale has been shot down 100%.

Rafale is a pile of shit. Overhyped and overrated French junk. Can’t wait until we jam Rafale with HAVA SOJ over the Aegean Sea.

What engine does it use? Is ARAT even finished?

They said TF-35000, will have: Low Observability Thrust Vector Control Supercruise Will they do this in steps or all at once?

Why update the brochure when the jet's dimensions will change again in one month? The brochure dimensions are for P1, not P0. And they do not take into account the height of the cockpit when measuring the height of the aircraft. They take into account the vertical stabilizers. If they dropped...

I think P0 was rushed for the elections. I expect major design changes, and the significant changes to dimensions are an early proof of this. Another proof is they will reveal P1 at the end of 2025, not in the middle. Meaning more changes have been done rather than continuing on with P0.

Those photos are from P0, not P1. No official photos of P1 so far. Parts manufacturing for P1 started 1-2 months ago, that photo was released January 21 2025. It's very likely that the vertical stabilizers have been moved to the sides because Kaan's height has dropped by 1 metre.

Could the Kaan carry a missile similar to ASM-3 inside weapons bays? Weapons bay of Kaan is not like F-22 or F-35, more like SU-57 with the weapon bays between the engines. Allowing for longer length missiles/bombs. Could it carry a 6 metre ramjet missile in stealth configuration?

I would much prefer F-35 over Eurofighter, F-35 can easily counter Rafale. But the likelihood of us getting F-35 is slim. Israeli lobby wouldn’t allow it. The reason they are getting eurofighter is for diversification of fighters and access to meteor missile.

This was the image circulating, they called it Anka 4, and said it will fly alongside Kaan. I can't find the infographic maybe somebody can.

I read somewhere that TAI plans to develop a manned stealth bomber like the B-21? Using the TF-35000. They say after Anka 3. Or is this incorrect?
