It is interesting that Baykar, on their KE site clearly state : TAKING OFF AND LANDING ON SHORT-RUNWAY VESSELS Bayraktar KIZILELMA’s capability to operate on short-runway ships, such as Türkiye’s TCG Anadolu, provides a strategic advantage in overseas missions and in the defense of the Blue...

I fully agree with you. If the intention is to sail our flag in blue waters, then İstif class is a limited platform. Long endurance and open seas performance capable 135+ metres long 4500 to 5500 ton frigates are needed. The aircraft carrier will need at least one may be two tepe class...

Bro, as it is, KE is probably is as stealthy as the Kaan today. Without RAM paint application and non stealthy engines, both can not be put against any fully fledged stealthy plane like F35. But that doesn’t mean that they will be like that all the time. KE is designed as a low observable...

Anka-2 aka Aksungur is being upgraded. According to Demiroglu’s last statements the new version will have a 1250 kg payload and 60 hours flight endurance. I wish they also made it clear how high these platforms would be able to fly at, with 1250kg payload and 60 hours flight endurance. An...

Stumbling block is TEI with their tf6000 and tf10000 engines. We need those two engines being produced in quantity like yesterday. They are too busy with tf35K at the moment

That video looks like the old one that was discussed here in detail about “moving target” issue. But nevertheless it makes every Turk proud to see it over and over again. Great news that they are delivering more and more of them to the forces. Tayfun, with all of it’s blocks, is a weapon that...

All very well. But does this Unmanned Sea Vessel have room for enough mines to lay in multiple numbers over a large area? In the test they have released a single mine.

I know where you are coming from. When there is a video of Anka-3 showing the same munition being tested and hitting a bulls eye, why put a video where you clearly missed the target? It is stupid! At least get help from Tusas to correct it. Then publish a video. Heck! These laser guided...

Bro, These are all questions we would all like to know the answers to as well. 1. Turkiye has started building an Aircraft carrier. So it needs a manned jet fighter. A naval Hurjet, we are hearing from officials, is the solution they have come up with. 2. A naval Hurjet will need more power...

In the case of IWB release, looking at first instance it is not a failure. The whole system of internal weapon bay release worked well. Bombs left their release pylons and the plane, without hitting the plane. They even got close to hitting the target. But the missile should have hit the target...

Certain degrees of upgrades are possible even for block 10 aircrafts as per attached file indicates. Structural Upgrades for Block 15 Initial Inspection: Airframes undergo thorough checks (such as PACER SLIP) to find and repair bulkhead cracks using methods like cold working. Falcon STAR: The...

According to unconfirmed news Pakistan is after Turkish Ozgur modernisation too. https://timesofislamabad.com/30-06-2026/pakistans-f-16-fleet-eyes-turkiyes-ozgur-upgrade-with-us-nod/ But they need US approval as neither us nor PAK can touch these planes unless US will consent. Sound like...

Had we developed a naval trainer version too, even US may have shown an interest. But for Hurjet proper as it is we have been comparatively slow in developing it. Albeit not being an urgent case like Kaan and being totally financed by Tusas resources, it was a slow growing project. But to date...

I agree that we should definitely put an offer to UK either via Airbus Spain or direct to UK even if it serves only to put the cat among the pigeons. It is a shame that BAE Systems have chosen to ally themselves with Boeing Saab for the UK trainer tender. UK want to be in control of the...
