    I hate, HATE, knee-jerk reactions of LAZY, stupid people "Not possible, We can't..." I complained about this centuries old inferiority complex of ours a lot. ANYTHING is possible. ANYTHING they can do we can do better if we put our minds to it as an entire nation. TÜRKİYE OFFICIALLY is one of...

    The reason why flight wasn't in December as planned is some indigenous electrical parts (PDU/generator) weren't ready then. These parts were also the same parts our so called "partner" GE didn't want to sell us even for the trainer Hürjet.

    @Nilgiri You are the engine expert here. Will any of these hypersonic 6th gen jet engines become reality? Some designs here seem simple enough that I feel like we are at the edge of global hypersonic travel era. Considering all air travel is STILL subsonic with pentagon investing in Darkhorse...

    Korea and Türkiye were several decades long partners of LM and GE. NATO and F-35 partnerships alone we have and Korea doesn't are huge advantages despite that we were behind Korea. We had no partnerships in rocket production so we are barely at the same level of children that make rockets in...

    Not just 100+ fully Turkish controlled fifth gen stealth KAANS will be free, but Türkiye will EARN tens of billions of dollars at worst and up to hundreds of billions of dollars in the following decades as well. 4,600 F-16s were produced. America does not even sell that to most nations. We have...

    NEW video: Even without afterburners only 300+ meters or so to takeoff. Thus takeoff from modified TCG-ANADOLU is possible with blast deflector, full afterburner assisted by restraining blocks plus ski-jump, landing is no big deal either titanium body can take it...

    You are thinking of costly CATOBAR that Americans and French use. STOBAR is simpler China, India and Russia uses it. Just like I said but requires high TWR like Mig-29K. KAAN can pull it off too. Not with a 10.000 kg payload but perhaps half of that. Watch the Mig-29K very short no catapult...

    Wiki - TWR Calculation The thrust-to-weight ratio is calculated by dividing the thrust (in SI units – in newtons) by the weight (in newtons) of the engine or vehicle. The weight (N) is calculated by multiplying the mass in kilograms (kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (m/s^2). Note that the...

    Hürjet or any other 4th gen doesn't make much sense on a future carrier since multiple nations now own 5th gen fighters, even today. SPACE on a carrier is at a PREMIUM. You are spending billions for a carrier. So, you must also provide BEST possible airborne protection you can muster to such a...

    Single engine carrier based aircraft is not the best idea for expensive fighters, especially for those that carry human life. Redundancy against engine problems and thrust requirements for short take off, makes single engine less desirable. F35B engines age faster because of extreme strain put...

    KAAN has a trust to weight ratio of 1.07 =2x131,000/(14.150+3500)x9.81 with a very limited 3.5 ton payload. Ratio is similar to F-18 and also Mig29K which uses STOBAR even without needing full length of the ship. Technically possible but where we will use aircraft carriers, I wonder. Carrier is...

    Syrian Army, Iran, Russia, PKK all started using FPV racing drones with RPGs attached. Drone costs $200, RPG head costs $300. Only reason there are still tanks around is because China restricts exports of drone parts. If they didn't there could be tens of millions of those. Single DJI drone...

    I couldn't find official specifications of IRIS-300 and so I used IRIS-100 as reference. If IRIS-300 is not UV only like IRIS-100 and it is a sophisticated IR imaging system, ignore this.

    IRIS is just a very simplistic missile warning system and only against common missiles since it only sees solar blind UV and filters out all other light spectrums to reduce clutter and requirement for a smarter image analyzer. DAS and dozen other systems below use IR instead of UV because jet...

    4 billion is normally too small to give away this kind of cutting edge ToT for other high end drone sellers. China requested 10 billion for this. America would not give any ToT and would charge at least 5 times per plane. But still a win for Türkiye and Baykar. Hopefully upgrades like Murad...
