Which AESA radars have our pilots had experience with so far?

I hope necessary steps will be done and an American company can be acquired. NuScale Power seems a valuation between around 5-6B $. It will be definitely hard to acquire such a company but since there are a lot of company like this, Baykar can have possibility to acquire one of them. NuScale...

I guess it is mostly about radar cross section not performance.

Is there any news about TF-6000 and TF-10000? :) @TheInsider :)

Let me share 2024 profit of the TUSAS which might solve some issues. https://iso500.org.tr/tusas-turk-havacilik-ve-uzay-sanayii-as?yil=2024&birinci500=1 Their profit around 50M $ before tax. :) What we are talking is really small amount of money. It is approximately 40M $ . This is roughly...

So what is the point of having another company in addition to TEI in this project? Why are they creating a sister company for such a thing? If they will not get assistance from UK, what is the point of having another company? What are they trying to solve?

@TheInsider Is there any significant contribution from RR?

1. TF-What does a scaled version mean? I guess it was already said by Mr. Akşit a few months ago. 2. Is there some information about TF-6000 as well? Mr. Akşit also implied that its power is around 3500 lbf and in each test iteration they try harder. I guess they must be around now 4000 lbf and...

The - Insider :)

It is actually based on communication system they used as you said. Bayraktar TB2: LOS link ~20–50 ms, satcom mod ~600+ ms Starlink based UAVs: 20–60 ms Iridium Certus: 30–100 ms If Uluğ Bey will be used in communication as well, it will be great.

I usually accept your words as reference :) Is there a reference about 2 seconds? It is really too much in this era. I was expecting around 100ms round trips.

When Baykar promised to start production in 2026 I was skeptical. I am really a big fan of their agile methodologies. It was just early 2023 when Kızılelma had its first flight. After that time Baykar upgraded their Ukrainian engine 2 times I guess, used first time AESA radar, Karat and Toygun...

It will be not a big surprise to develop relationship UK and UK related countries such as Canada. I guess strategically Türkiye made a decision to approach UK. It was already obvious for a long time but some concrete steps made clearer.

Is there any information about previous one, FGN-100-D1? I guess they look very happy and results must be promising.

Is there any other need than TS-3000 for helicopters. He implicitly says like there are more projects apart from TS-3000.
