We should use T-625N with coast guard ships, OPVs and corvettes and Seahawks with frigates and TF-2000. TCG Anadolu and Mugem can have both, but overwhelmingly Seahawks.

There is not enough time to complete both external and internal weapon testing before the delivery in 2028. It is a race against time. TUSAS has around 2 years to deliver the first block 10. There will be nose and cheek radars (%100 confirmed). I heard conflicting rumors about aft radar. Some...

Overall it will be similar to F-35 block 4. Raw capability of radar will be better; F-35 doesn't have a dedicated IRST and DIRCM, F-35 EOTS will have a secondary IRST capability in that regard. F-35 will have more mature software and sensor fusion. F-35s EOTS and DAS might have an edge. IMHO...

A total of 20 block 10s will be delivered in 2028-2029-2030 Deliveries of block 20s will start in 2030 (2030-2031-2032) 20 block 20s will be delivered A total of 40 Kaans will be delivered between 2028-2032 Internal weapon bay tests will start in 2028. Block 10s will be delivered with...

Kaan roadmap P1 first flight very likely in September (August 30 is included) P2 Q4 2026 P3 Early 2027 As I said earlier, delays are due to subsystem integration The logic is we will conduct the first flight when the fighter is ready. For example, Tusas doesn't want to use the initial flight...

PDR phase is completed for TF35000. The PDR closing meeting will convene soon. The CDR phase has started, and it is expected to be completed in 1.5 years, which means it will be completed by Q1 2028 if no delays happen. A technology demonstrator prototype will be assembled and tested. Later, in...

40 KAANs will be delivered till 2032. Some of the prototypes will be converted and delivered. There will be 2 or 3 prototypes at the TUSAS after 2029. TUSAS can always buy small amount of engines without going to congress.

Trainer is the baseline version and has priority. It is the usual development cycle Trainer---->LCA---->Naval. Naval version will probably be available post 2030.

I think TUSAS will switch to F414-GE-400 for Hürjet-N and maybe LCA. F414 has ~%18 more dry and ~%24 more wet thrust compared to its predecessor. Hürjet-N and LCA with F414, MURAD radar, MUM-T capability and long-range air-to-air missiles like Gökbora, can beat any existing 4th gen aircraft...

Orbital tracking radar is not useful for the detection of F-35. Its purpose is to detect and track items orbiting Earth. Passive radar can detect F-35 from several hundred kilometers in favorable conditions. But it is an inherently different sensor compared to active radars and has caveats...

Yes, they are probably the final ground-based sensors together with the passive radar system and STR-800G orbital tracking radar. There will be satellite-based early warning and SAR sensors. I guess we can also count UAV and airplane-based early warning radars, they are all interlinked.

ALP-400G will have a more modern AESA antenna similar to Chinese JY-26 radar. The conceptual design phase is probably completed, and it is moving to the detailed design phase, which is why we are seeing a different design. ETA is 2029 for ALP-400G.

S-400, F-35, CAATSA, Avrupa ile silah ticareti üçgeninde ilginç duyumlar var. Türkiye S-400 konusunda adım atmak için CAATSAnın kaldırılmasını şart koşmuş. Amerikalılara S-400 aldığımız için F-35'ten çıkarılmamız bir noktaya kadar anlaşılabilir, ancak CAATSA'nın uygulanması hiçbir sebeple makul...

Currently IPO process looks to be on hold/stopped but not cancelled. Kalejet started IPO process in December 2024. The IPO should have been done by now. Kalejet is not Mahmutoğulları İnşaat that waits years for IPO greenlight. Kalejet wanted to raise capital because of piled-up debt, but their...

%99 negative unless we don't know somethings but this was from the stock market public offering document. Kalejet Engines stopped its stock market public offering process.
