I was really hoping you would say something similar to a mini mobese network, an AI controlled IR camera network or a mesh network is being developed :( Putting all our eggs in ground or air based RADAR basket, that west excels in destroying, seems suicidal. Unlike RADNET, IRNET would be...

Where are the 6 IR cameras of KAAN located in the picture? And what is the resolution of 360 day and night cameras compared to F-35 Is MWIS same as MWIR ? Is F-35 EOTS e Aselsan EOTS comparable? As far as I saw from very little amount of videos they showed aselsan has very outdated zoom...

DAS is 360 IR this front only IRST might be longer range than DAS but is blind in many directions, isn't it? Kizilelma, KAAN etc. desperately need another DAS like system of IR cameras to give them omnidirectional situational awareness.

@TheInsider Is there any info on theorized fully passive IRST+IIR missile firing solution. And it's range against an F-35 or better stealth targets like wider spectrum, newer stealth tech of 6th generation B-21 Raider? Also is there any info on starting a completely separate and completely...

Why we don't add a few hundred dollars worth of chaff and flares to a 10 to 30 million dollars worth of drones or use RWR to warn when drones are being targeted by radar or add DIRCMs against heat seeking missiles IIR missiles or fly at a high enough altitude (as close as possible to 50,000...

Block 30 will start in 2032. Entire 4 years after Greeks get their stealth F-35s. While our 2028 batch 4.5th gen KAANs are supposed to be at the level of Vipers and Rafales of Greeks. The moment Greeks get enough F-35s and stealth cruise missiles I am 99% sure they will declare 12 miles (19.31...

I am almost certain the F-16 deal won't be honored. Greece was going to get F-35s, and we are supposed to get F-16 parts that they should be providing anyway as the most basic rule of selling something. But they are using even that as a card to blackmail us, not just selling new F-16s. It is...

I wouldn't hold my breath on that F-16 deal either. Just like the F-35 deal they can get the cash and senate still can cancel the sale while F-16s we paid for are being loaded to cargo ship. They will have that gun to our heads forever with part sales and upgrades for decades and decades. Their...

Why are you misinterpreting what I said. I clearly said: “Türkiye had the option to stay in F-35 program and under the thumb of west but moved on with s400 instead in order to make her own, F-22 clone with that money they promised to USA.” I never said we OPT-OUT with the word OPTION. Opt-out...

Sure if we could get a few F-35s, the ones we already paid for, that would be useful for testing KAAN against them. But we had already made a strategic decision for an independent defense industry. There was an undeclared embargo against us since 90s. That is what being under the thumb of west...

It is not some big mystery. Türkiye had the option to stay in F-35 program and under the thumb of west but moved on with s400 instead in order to make her own, F-22 clone with that money they promised to USA. Even the engine thrust targets are similar. A stealthy TF-35000 (actually 38000lbf)...

I am not sure if I got what you are saying, but waves can cancel each other out as in Rafale but also can strengthen each other or change direction, steer each other. That is all beam forming. It is a science in its own right. Aselsan isn't good at that. Also, it could be the not so good...

Beam forming with AESA is not just about brute module count or peak power. If you are using more 4x 5x peak power like 100+kw peak power as stated here for BURFIS but never reaching beyond 300 km then you suck at your job. You need to compare it to what our frenemies all around us (will) have...

No one thinks that giant nose of KAAN is for tiny Murad radar, right? Also developer in video says it is the official 1to1 simulator for MMU not Özgür project or Hürjet. So I still have no idea why it merely shows 300km max range like F-16 block30s. Well at least it is 360 degrees not just a...

Found this in an MMU sim video. KAAN's radar scaler is at 40nm that puts BURFIS radar maximum at 300km. I was expecting 400-600km considering the size and power of BURFIS :( Am I interpreting this right?

Sure but that's bare minimum. TACTILE feeling is missing for 90% of flight and other controls. It is like using on screen keyboard instead of an actual keyboard on a PC. It is slower and awkward. A bad combo when milliseconds could mean life or death. And again like I said screen is too crowded...

I am no pilot, but… Even with a touch screen which is too small and crowded to operate effectively with touch, shouldn't there be a lot more buttons, knobs etc. to speed up reaction times of the pilot, especially in a dog fight and to free precious screen space? Turn rate seems low compared to...

Sheesh. How many years will it take for a 4k cockpit view of KAAN with radar and all other screens visible, I wonder. DCS game needs several clear 4k pictures to add a playable KAAN mod. Also the real-life specs for accurate dogfights. Including missiles. They have F-35, F-22, Su-57 etc. even...

That is a commercial engine. Even 1% fuel savings is critical for success, so they do several redesigns and testing. Safety tests, certifications also take much, much longer. If you get sued for causing a death by skipping a test or civil certification step that take many years, you will lose...

Isn't getting publicly searchable patents for military top secret projects is a bit..., dumb? Even if all actual info available is just a few words on a webpage. I know America does it too. But what are they going to do? Sue China if they steal a military technology idea, based on your patent? 🤷‍♂️
