The higher you go, the faster you go and the more electrical power you draw from the engine high BPR engine provides less SCF advantage and at some point scale of trade-off is leaning to low BPR if you take into account other parameters. For example, the E-7T AWACS plane has CFM56-7 high BPR...

Yes, but the trend is backward due to high costs and new competitors.

It depends. It is not a simple calculation like that.

Anka-4, IHA-SOJ and IHA-AWACS are the usual suspects here. IHA-SOJ and IHA-AWACS have ambitious altitude targets on top of big power needs so an F-110 without an afterburner might be needed to reach those altitudes and TAI will probably replace F-110 with the national engine once it becomes...

Lets say there is. Who will buy drones from you when your drones start malfunctioning the moment they operate in Libya?

Wait until those drones hit GNA forces in Libya.

Nothing to say. FNSS created a piece of art with alpha.

Yeah Fatah 2 is a good system. Pakistan showing interest in a lot of Turkish products so offset deals will likely happen in the future.

True but Turkiye got Mushaks as an offset. Something similar might happen.

Nope i oversimplified things like it is easy to do but in reality creating x kw of laser beam for y second on an airborne vehicle is not easy but the main idea is simple enough.

Laser-based DIRCM is nothing new. If you increase the output power voila here is your laser weapon that can fry missiles. It is easier said than done.

Yes after the Preveze class, Gür class will undergo mid-life modernization.

That prototype has undergone full-size loading tests. Its wings won't snap under big loads. This is wrong. Kaan prototype completed ejection seat tests, full-sized loading/static tests, inertia and static tests of control surfaces, landing gear fall tests, avionic tests in the system...

I'm against Turkiye returning the F-35 project except for industrial participation. Greek F-35 is not an immediate threat. Even if the US offers delivery slots reserved for the USAF Greece won't get any F-35 before the end of 2028 and most likely get their first F-35s in 2031 like the Czech...

Hüseyin Fazla calculated the cost of the quoted items in the F-16 package. It seems total cost should be no higher than 7 billion. DSMC notice should be no higher than 15 billion something doesn't add up.

Oh we should have also asked the cancellation of CAATSA sanctions.

Understood. I want to say, in general, any AESA radar that doesn't have GaN modules is not the latest and greatest. GaN adds a generational performance uplift. This is proven both scientifically and with on-field performance experience. We shouldn't fly with anything less than AESA in 2030 and...

BTW I don't understand this deal. Why didn't we ask to integrate our own weapons and pods into F-16Vs? We should have brought this into the negotiations. This deal makes zero sense and logic.

F-15EX is a no go from the US side.
