Turkiye is negotiating a maintenance deal worth 600 million pounds.

Aselsan has an 80 MB/s link to send sensor data. For example, FLIR footage. Its name is Trustlink. https://www.aselsan.com/tr/savunma/urun/3520/trustlink-10pp-10-net Aselsan also develops an exclusive data link for KAAN.

SABR, CAPTOR, RBEE (RAFALE), Chinese AESAs (Pakistan)

I believe this is a psyops and negotiation tactic. First, he will demand a lot of things later; he will give up the most ridiculous ones to push others. Every item in this so-called wishlist is treason.

Murad-100A AESA performs better than expected. Seasoned F-16 pilots couldn't hide their astonishment after seeing what the radar can do.

Yes, but there is significant pressure from the government, and I think delivering two batteries is possible. Aselsan is trying to increase production to 1 battery per quarter.

Terrorist Apo's demands.

100 vehicle delivery will include all layers of the steel dome including EW systems, so I don't expect more than 2 batteries of siper and 4 batteries of Hisar.

I agree i think wingman needs its own sensors. There should be IRST and passive RF sensors at the least. Radar and jammer adds another layer of capability distributing active sensors. Wingman can get closer and jam enemy aircraft better as jamming is more successfull when the jammer is closer to...

There are ramjet PhD research that goes back 15-20 years in time. Similar story with UAV. There were TUSAS UAV studies 25 years ago. It gave birth to Turkish UAV roadmap and the rest is history. A similar thing has been happening with turbine engines and will happen with combined cycle engines...

Having a lot of acoustic sensors in the sea and networking them is more important than the capability of a single sensor. DUFAS or our hull mounted sonars might not be the best in the world, but deploying a lot of them together with a lot sonobuoy and networking them will net better results than...

Turkiye plans to adopt adaptive/combined cycle engines for 6th gen. Now I understand why DeltaV is developing a ramjet.

Turkiye plans to adopt adaptive/combined cycle engines for the 6th gen.

Unfortunately, it does prevent next-gen stealth. It is called physics. Neither the Chinese nor the Americans are stupid. The UK adopts a tailed design because it is what they can do. Tailles designs are well known and simple enough, but making a supersonic Tailles design as agile as today's...

Kaan will be a testing bed for many 6th-gen capabilities, but KAAN won't be a 6th-gen system ever. These are cross-sections of the B-2 Spirit and the F-35A from the front and side There is a reason why real 6th-gen aircraft are without a tail. 6th-gen aircraft require better 360-degree...
