    For combat, yes you are right. For test, thats questionable. IMO, While Akıncı is flying for testing purposes, the energy gap of the radar can be covered with auxiliary power units mounted on the bomb launchers. Especially the single bomb launcher under the fuselage is very suitable for this...

    The chief engineer of the Hürjet project said that in the Armed Hürjet version, the drone officer who will sit behind the pilot will manage the KE and Anka-3 drones. If this happens, I think the Armed Hürjet can no longer be considered a LIFT aircraft. Transforms into a heavyweight fighter...

    This is nothing new. We have known this since the 1990s. Some Europeans are just beginning to understand. The same is true for the USA. That is why we are taking these two "allies" out of the supply chain in our arms supply. Most of the task has been accomplished, little remains.

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    How long have we been talking about turbine engines with the British? It's been a while, isn't it? How many RR engines have we bought, never mind built under license? "0". ZERO in writing. Pretty interesting, isn't it?

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Or the Kaan prototype passed the tests and they realized that Kaan was fit to fly. But at the last minute, the politicians came up with the idea of using this first flight as an election advertisement in the March 31 2024 elections! LOL

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Our need for fighter flown by human pilots can be effectively solved with the "armed & drone commander" Hürjet. In that case, there may not even be a need for Kaan. Because the concept being considered is the 6th generation concept, even if Hürjet is the 4th generation. After sufficient...

    The main problem I see in the PDF is this: Thinking that freedom of expression is absolute. However, it is not absolute. If a non-Muslim person dies and someone writes about him saying "May God have mercy on him" and a fascist bigot comes out and says "No such thing can be said about...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    In my opinion, both unmanned Kaan and unmanned Hürjet are necessary. Unmanned models of these aircraft will be very useful, especially for intensive testing of the TF-35000 engine and Murad AESA radar.

    If there is an EF-2000 agreement, IMO we will not undertake a indigenous ejection seat development project. We order the 300 seats as part of the EF-2000 package. On one condition, the seats will be delivered all at once, not gradually.

    Even that won't happen. They will cancel the 6th Generation fighter projects one after another, and they will all line up to buy F35s, just like a cat with spilled milk.

    Why Are Muslim Countries Poorer?

    Because they reject science. Also they reject freedoms, person's base (fundemental) rights, etc, etc. People in Islamic countries demand justice and mercy from their leaders. They never, ever demand freedoms and fundamental rights. They do not realize that there is no justice without rights and...

    I think, "It will be the second largest engine in terms of size among Western-style fighter jet engines", he said. I don't think Dr. Akşit mean thrust value.

    I think TF-10000 for KE, not TF-6000. If KE's testing is nearing completion, I think that's great news. A period of 5 years is foreseen for the TF-10000 Engine to enter mass production. This is an achievable goal, but still an ambitious one.
