Just another madman caught up in yet another piece of his “Wunderwaffe” (miracle weapon) obsession.

+1. If you combine the roughly 25 kW from the standard alternators on the Aksungur with the about 60 kW generated by the TRMotor's APU60, IMO it should have more than enough power to run that radar with ease.

Nothing. The large drone was already spotted over the Black Sea; if it had slipped in unnoticed, that would have been a real concern. Don’t be misled by the fact it was brought down over Çankırı-Elmadağ. As for the small drone, small drones are tricky to detect unless they’re close to critical...

You're right, but as a country that produces radars with AESA technology, we can still more or less estimate the true capabilities of these radars. If our pilots are satisfied, then the MURAD 100a AESA Radar is good enough.

I’ve come up with an idea you might find amusing—I figured out a way to replicate the vertical stabilizer’s function without relying on air brakes or movable nozzles. This thought struck me while studying the Kızılelma’s fuselage. By operating without air brakes, it can keep its stealth features...

Structurally, it sports a tailless design and a highly stealthy airframe, features that weren’t possible in earlier generations. Beyond that, there’s nothing the 6th generation offers that the 5th couldn’t, including variable-cycle engines. Another big plus of tailless design is the altitude...

Let everyone think Kaan is "one step behind". It's actually much better for us.

As far as I know, there's an RF seeker. So, it doesn't have AESA technology. Maybe they added IIR to make it safer, but I don't think they did that.

We need a seeker based on AESA technology, and ideally, it should combine AESA with IIR capabilities.

For sensor fusion and threat assessment tasks, I predict they will use an AI model similar to the latest trend in AI: LLM's.

When the same shot is fired from IWB while flying with the TF-10000 engine, this project will have truly achieved its goal. This is only the first step.

Nothing will ever be the same again. We've entered a new phase. I congratulate everyone involved.

The UAE itself is already a proxy entity for Israel and is also the world's leading money laundering hub.

Given that the developer is Delta-V, I’m going to take a bold guess and say they use paraffin as fuel, mixed with aluminum or magnesium nanoparticles.

The USA will be never intervene directly in that war. The USA's real goal is to drag countries like the Philippines, India, Taiwan, South Korea, and even Japan into war with China, and only engage China after it has become exhausted. With an "expendable" Taiwan prepared to fight China and wear...
