Okay, but why do we need these F-35 aircraft strategically and militarily? There is no question that Greece and Israel need them, and the likelihood that they will use them against us to exert pressure is real. But what do we gain from this? Israel's QME is guaranteed by the USA, which means...

Assuming we get the F-35, I wonder who we can use it against? Greece? The US would probably shut down both countries' aircraft... before a conflict arose, and would even sell it as de-escalation. How clever and forward-thinking they are as Americans...😂 Against Israel? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don't need to...

So there is nothing official, and we can assume that this is fake news. We have not made any statements in this regard, let alone held a meeting between the Turkish and Moroccan defence ministers, which is usually how strategic matters are clarified. Therefore, the truthfulness of this report is...

Yes, but probably only with +-1000 operating hours, which is the problem. An engine stands or falls with series production if it has to be completely overhauled after 500-600+ operating hours and is completely worn out after 1000+ hours, then it becomes really expensive in Twin Engine FIGHTER...

BÄM welcome to the next Generation of Aviation in Turkey

No, please don't, apart from the fact that they have to kiss Israel's arse forever. Are they taboo in Eurasia for key projects? Even the French insist on getting almost all rights to FCAS, not only to lead the development of the aircraft but also to market it. There's no need for a US/Israeli...

The Kizilelma drone literally cries out for a 16,000 lbf Engine with a dry thrust of 10,000 lbf. It is incomprehensible why one would develop a 6000/10000 lbf engine... instead of an 10000/16000 lbf engine. Ultimately, Hürjet also needs an F-404 equivalent. With an 10000 lbf core and 16000...

What nonsense, neither China nor Russia could save their friend Maduro in Venezuela. Nor are either of them willing to help Iran or save it in any way. They have no global reach in the form of alliances, and more importantly, they are unwilling and unable to build something like NATO. What...

At least one year, as we are talking about a significant amount of manual work. Therefore, we can only expect the first tests in the middle/end of next year, assuming they decide to start building the prototype in the next two to three months.

The ground tests alone are expected to take at least two or three years. Realistically, the first airworthy prototype is not expected until 2029/30. Extensive validation and testing will then be carried out until around 2032+ and beyond, followed by an additional phase of certification testing...

Stop thinking you're Country is centre of the universe. Your big talk only works because you're hiding behind the military and economic power of stronger EU countries and the US/Israel, and even that's fading day by day. Without this protective shield, you'd be totally insignificant...

A large-scale procurement of more than 60 Eurofighters would be a strategic dead end. The goal must be interoperability and operational sovereignty – not the transition from one dependency to the next. Together with the F-15EX, the Eurofighter is one of the most powerful 4.5+ generation fighter...

I wondered whether a so-called "ring exchange" between Turkey and South Korea would be possible from around 2035 onwards – specifically between the KAI KF-21 Boramae and the TAI KAAN. South Korea is currently pursuing a similar strategy to Turkey by gradually replacing US subsystems in the KF-21...

Today, it hardly makes sense to develop a classic heavy combat helicopter. Turkey primarily needs light and medium combat helicopters that are agile and dynamic, not expensive heavy gunships based on the Apache or Ka-52 models. The war in Ukraine has clearly shown that heavy combat helicopters...
