Nonsensical, that's not how any of this works. Stealth doesn't have an on off switch that you can "add". It's a spectrum. F-15 is not useless against 5th gen fighters and Kaan have by design a much lower RCS with or without the engines being "concealed" or not.

Let's not. That man have proven only that he has a mental issue.

Wonder if we'll see those ropes and pulleys like they first shown in the future. Sending and landing a single aircraft means nothing in carrier operations. I'm very interested in how will sortie generation work with both TB3 and more importantly helicopters. Correct me but if i remember only one...

THEY DID IT.

News pieces still say it'll be equipped with Hisar and Atmaca, but in the link i've given Istanbul Shipyard commander admiral Yetkin only mentions the MKE 76mm gun and says Aselsan adds radars, comms equipment and close air defence systems. And he makes no mention of Roketsan.

First of Hisar Class OPVs, TCG Akhisar is set to start its testing phase next month. https://www.iha.com.tr/istanbul-haberleri/milli-karakol-gemisi-tcg-akhisar-yerli-ve-milli-silah-sistemleriyle-dikkat-cekiyor-146200296

They can't. Germany owns the IP as do other members. There was never going to be a Eurofighter sale without Germany's approval.

Please let's remain on topic.

And Turkey isn't as important as India for US' future plans regarding Pacific. Neither is it the second biggest country on the planet. Until the day India gets F-35s, this doesn't track.

Do you remember when Hürjet visited Konya and made a joint flight with Turkish Stars last year? Why didn't it visit Çiğli instead? Noone have confirmed so far that the 4+12 Hürjets HvKK ordered are the trainer variant, just like Hürkuş isn't. They are the aerobatics variant for the Stars.

We cannot be certain whether that's the same aircraft.

Nose mounted Flir on the new Akıncı test. A two gimbal mounted version would be very interesting for ISR missions.

Aerobatics variant have been ordered for Turkish Stars, not the trainer. So far air force have not ordered the trainer version.

Meanwhile our own air force have not even ordered the trainer variant yet and literally no official interest for the LCA.

No details on composition. Might be 2 or 3 per GCS. They have a big coastline as well.

Add one more to the list. "Croatia signs a $91 million deal to purchase six Bayraktar TB2 drones from Turkey"

Lol, hardly.

Prevalent thinking is that some very older Block 30s may be retired with just Özgür I, after 2030s, this should be less than 30 jets. With the structural modernization those aircraft received in the last few years, they will be online for about 6-10 more years. Development of Özgür II package is...

While this is a pretty nice infographic, it is very outdated. For one if I remember right, targeting pod on the inner pylons instead of a Meteor never worked, EF-2000 still carries its targeting pod on the center pylon, in place of the centerline tank. So this is how its loadout actually looks...
