The agreement between TUSAŞ and GE covers not only trainer but "future" variants.

It is a uae Rafale. Akıncı the Rafale Hunter.(y) We are writing history in sudan.

You know aselpod is not cheap either. Just get rid of second pilot and you have tons of space.

A better option would be integrating Toygun eots and Karat irst so you dont have to waste precious hardpoint for aselpod.

I am pretty sure we will see Kaan naval on Mugem.

During the interview with Tolga Özbek when talking about TF6000 Mahmut Akşit said "This is a simplified, first version of the engine." Many commentators said TF6000 is as big as F404 so it needs to have higher thrust . Hopefully much powerful versions (8000-10000 lbf) will arrive. A 10.000 lbf...

Som-j could be used internally for anti-ship missions. My biggest complain is that it can't carry antiradar missile (Akbaba?) internally. Thus sead/dead missions are dangerous when you carry missiles externally.

Super şimşek is a great platform for different tasks. But it has to be made to fit internal bays of anka3 and Kaan so it could be used effectively without giving up stealth.

Even Erdoğan said 57 naval gokbeys for navy are planned. https://gdh.digital/haber/turkiyenin-ilk-yerli-genel-maksat-helikopteri-gokbeyin-ilk-teslimati-tamam-vdrmlt9azbb So despite some like it or not naval gokbey WILL come.

No. Gokbey with its 6 ton mtow enters mid-weight, general purpose heli category. And I did not say it has to carry torpedo under its belly. I say it could carry torpedoes with wingkits.

Wrong. Chinese z-9 Naval heli with 4 ton mtow is able to carry torpedoes. Naval Gokbey could easily carry torpedoes with 6 ton mtow.

Kemankes is a mini Cruise missile. İt would be too expensive to use it as a drone Hunter.

IMHO 3xts-1400 should be enough. But it would make transmission complicated and expensive. Also TUSAS has no experience with 3 engines. So they probably did not want to enter unknown territory.

So they gave spoilers. It is TF-23 ISTIKBAL.
