Just take a look at the platforms in the image. They each look absurd. Can't you tell?

Not real, AI.

we already have Ku-band terminals for stealth communication. ASELSAN has displayed them in this year's defence fair

They should make a deal with RR and equip the drones with EJ200 engine. That airframe screams for more power.

can we please get past this verbiage and focus on the real product? i don't think these lengthy discussions about its nameplate provide any value to the thread and to the readers.

why are we talking about tf6000 and tf10000 as if they're different engines? is TEI developing another core for TF10000? to my knowledge, TF10000 is an add-on with its afterburner section. the engine will need some structural reinforcement for the increased axial loads but the engine, in...
