TEI continues testing TF-6000. The test crew gradually increases the working envelope of the engine. I expect it to produce at least %15 more dry thrust compared to a similar Ukrainian engine (Al-222/322) when tested at full rpm due to technological differences between the two. TF-6000 might see...

Do you read posts? Someone mentioned lifecycle costs. It doesn't matter be it's flyaway cost, lifecycle cost, or manufacturing cost; whatever you want to compare doesn't change the fact that you can't buy, manufacture, or maintain 10 Kızılelmas for the price of 1 manned fighter.

You just can't accept your idol is outright lying; there is no debate here. We don't debate whether the Earth is round or flat. You can believe whatever you want. The Earth is round, independent of what you believe, and I'm not here to change your mind. I'm here to write a note to correct...

Akıncı costs 25-30 million for the TAF, and it is without systems like MURAD AESA radar. Baykar says they are not making a lot of profit from sales to the TAF, so it has to be close to the manufacturing cost. That is why the Turkish Armed Forces don't have hundreds of Akıncı in the inventory...

Cost to manufacture, lifecycle cost, whatever you name it. You can't buy or manufacture 10 Kızılelma drones for the cost of 1 manned fighter. You can't even buy 5. He is selling snake oil. You buy 10 Kızılelma, you need 10 hangars, 10 ground crew teams. You need to expand the infrastructure to...

No, I don't need to prove anything. The burden of proof falls to whoever makes a claim. He is claiming something logically impossible, so he needs to show proof, not me. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You guys are all emotional because, over time, he created something like...

20 million dollars is impossible for the current Kızılelma, let alone an improved Kızılelma that can offer similar capability compared to a manned fighter. TB2 goes for 5 million for god's sake.

He is outright lying.

Unmanned fighters that are on par with today's modern manned fighters won't be a magnitude cheaper compared to manned fighters. This is selling snake oil. A Kızılelma with a 20000 lbs engine, AESA radar, EOTS, DAS, improved production quality, stealth coating and supersonic flight capability...

Selçuk Bayraktar lost me when he said you can buy 20 Kızılelmas instead of 1 F-16 with the same money. Even if we factor total life cycle costs it is impossible. IMHO he doesn't need to talk bullshit.

The first picture is soft tracking (square around the target), and it is over 150km. Second picture is a hard lock and engagement tracking. Look at the yellow dots around the target. The target is engaged over 125km.
