BMC could have produced the Batu powerpack faster, but the transmission part was delayed around nine months, so it slipped to Q4 2026/Q1 2027. Currently, endurance tests are continuing on the BATU prototype. Being serial production-ready is one thing, and actually getting the product with the...

Eurofighter is not just an interim solution, as many suggested. It will replace F-4s. F-35s were supposed to replace F-4s and form a high-low mix with Kaan; now Eurofighters will do that. The second-hand part of the Eurofighter deal is an interim solution. By the mid 2030s, Kaan will be an...

Here we go, Türkiye will buy 44 Eurofighters. 20 T4 from the UK , 12 T3 from Qatar, and 12 T3 from Oman. There is also an option for another 20 Eurofighter T5. Total cost is up to 10+ billion $ if all options are exercised. Typhoons from Qatar will be delivered immediately. Omani Eurofighters...

There is too much speculation regarding this issue. There are a ton of numbers and scenarios.

Currently, Baykar is considering its options on twin engine Kızılelma. Baykar might shelve twin engine Kızılelma in favor of a single 20000 lbf class( ~12000lbf dry, ~20000lbf wet thrust) engine. That is why they are willing to develop a 20000 lbs engine. Baykar is aiming for 10000-12000kg MTOW...

That news is spot on. The target is to upgrade all block 30-40-50 F-16s till the end of 2030. This includes weapons like Gökhan/Gökbora, air-launched gezgin, self-protection suite, and EW/Targeting pod integration. Basically, Özgür 2+ configuration.

The foundation is based on that, but it is a new product developed exclusively for Kızılelma.

Turkiye wants to buy 24 Tranche 3A aircraft from Qatar and 16-24 new Tranche 4 from the UK. There is simply not enough money to buy brand new 40 Eurofighters.

Aselsan will provide RAM materials for Kızılelma. Everything is ready on that front.

Engines can be optimized for the generator role. Transmission investment is dead as hybrid propulsion is right around the corner. 1500hp engine can be used as a marine engine for small vessels and a generator for big vessels. A 1500hp engine will be overkill for ground vehicles.

WS-10 is an upgraded/modified AL31 with CFM56 technologies. As you wrote, WS-15 is a different engine. WS-10 has better overhaul/MTBF period compared to AL31. WS-15 is comparable to Western engines, such as the F-110.

It means BMC is blatantly lying. We have photo evidence. They are not isolated ammunition racks. The first 40 tanks will probably be delivered without those capabilities in line with existing plans.

Erdogan bought another term for himself.
