Happy 30th August Victory Day.

If that tank factory does not start mass production within 2025 and 3 prototype tanks are not delivered in the configuration of the mass-produced tanks, then I will be the ONE talking with badmouthing! Enough is enough!!!

Of course, if we are not going to use the TF-10000 engine on the Anka-3 then you are right.

From what I understand of the Plaza Accords, any US president would certainly implement this approach. Even if Obama were president instead of Trump, the US would force Japan to purchase the F-47 and withdraw from the GCAP program.

In this case, your sources contradict @orko_8. I assume both are correct. I think things will unfold as follows: 20 Unit Block-10 Kaans will be produced in 2029, but they won't be equipped with the F110 as expected. Instead, they'll be equipped with the immature TF35000. In 2032, the mature...

Everybody knows already, huh? OK.

I'm not correcting you, I'm just clarifying. Delivery will be in 2028, but it will be at the end of 2028.

End of 2028

There are two conditions for this plan to work. 1- The immature TF35000 engine must be capable of delivering the thrust values of the F110. In other words, we must be able to obtain at least 18,000 lbf dry thrust and 30,000 lbf wet thrust from the immature TF35000 engine. 2- The immature...

@Yasar_TR If the F110 engines cannot be procured, I believe we will have to resort to a rather risky course of action. That risky course is this: Delivering the Block 10 Kaans using immature TF35000 engines, which offer F110 thrust values. This would save the Kaan program from a complete...

Thank you for answers.

I have a question. Approximately how long would it take to derive a turboprop engine from the TS-1400? I assume there are no problems with financial resources and trained manpower.

There should be almost no foreign components left in the SOM missile, including electronic subcomponents. I believe that the localization rate, especially in electronic subcomponents, was achieved thanks to the gains from the Hisar HSS project.

I have no proof and this is all my own feeling. I feel that the South Koreans, just like the Germans, will feel ashamed when they buy anything other than ammunition from Türkiye. So I think that South Korea will not buy a sophisticated weapons system from Türkiye unless it is absolutely necessary.
