Bro, Bayraktar TB2 had it's first real military encounter in Syria during Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016.
İt had no real impact as a tactical UCAV. İt was used as an intelligence gathering UAV more than a UCAV. Even then it had problems against enemy's ground AD systems. Where as TUSAŞ 's...
This was discussed here before. If you read the old posts you would not have asked this question .
If you google it you will find the answers yourself too.
Take SOM; in 2018 it was estimated to be in excess of 1 million dollars.

Bro,
Your timelines are a little off. Apparently before KTJ 3700, it was the KTJ 3200 that was produced for SOM and Atmaca missiles.
KTJ 3200 engines’ serial production started early 2022.
Then it was KTJ 3700 serial production in January 2024. These were for Kara Atmaca missiles.

The option clause of a further Typhoon order being activated is among those rumours. Also regarding the 40 units of F16 V70 order is still...
Thanks for sharing this. But their info on T70 helicopter engines is totally wrong. The engines are T700TEİ701D manufactured by TEİ under licence with more than 65% local parts including the hot sections. TEİ has produced more than 65 of these engines according to unconfirmed reports.

Please stay on topic. Do not divulge in to unnecessary discussions.
Administration found @OPTIMUS ’s German post of value and had it auto translated and he has been informed to make sure posts are in English.
Bro, not necessarily!
We don’t know the details of this situation in full.
There is a post by @OPTIMUS that is as it stands -no disrespect to our member- no more than hearsay. But it is a valid technical concern that such a big stabilator will be difficult to manage and will be subjected to...
Those flaps primarily help control pitch; if the nose is to face upwards or downwards. Also gives aerodynamic stability to the plane.
Stealthy planes are inherently very unstable anyway. So they need very good fly-by-wire computer control programs to fly straight. To do that they will need very...
Well! It is good that they are helping eradicate Islamist terrorists. But their presence close to Libyan border can give the jitters to Libyan Haftar regime as Algeria supported Tripoli.
There is a lot of work Türkiye has done to bring both Libyan regimes to see the Turkish view positively.
