I don't know if it makes sense to export High-End Reaper Class Drones to Africa. I can still understand TB2 but Akinci & Co how is that supposed to work? These countries have virtually no military navigation & communication capabilities and if Turkey allows them to access their own satellite...

It may be that Rafaele & Eurofighter Typhoon are better than F-16 Block 70/Özgür. But TAI KAAN is supposed to fill this gap to compete against F-35, Eurofighter Typhoon & Rafaele.

Source? Does this refer to all F-16 models to be tested? Or is it probably the F-16 Block 30 Özgür, as the source code is available for software modifications. The question doesn't belong here, but why doesn't Turkey buy 40 used F-16 Block 30s from the EU & Co and have them converted to the...

Perhaps the military-industrial complex should take the reins and determine Turkey's policy. This has been going on in the USA for almost 100 years, regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats are in power, the arms industry always wins and so does the USA.

So what? Where is it written that very cheap MALE drones like TB2 can permanently hold their own against modern air defense systems? Air defense systems have been constantly improved, especially against small, slow-approaching drones, both in software and hardware. You cannot send a TB2 into an...

Too expensive and pointless, but Kizilelma are there to intercept these planes and drones, and Anka 3 flies as a bomber low in the airspace with an intact air defense to drop bomb loads. There is no need to develop 20 different versions of the same type, the USA has the money, we don't. For...

How would you know that if it has never been used in a first strike? That's a hypothetical question about how you could take out a modern air defense with completely new means, like in this case the glide bomb with a solid booster, by the sheer number of these bombs. It's not as if Turkey...

Yes i think this is the way to overhelm a Country with a modern Airdefence System . You Push the Airdefence System in Maximum Stress. But with a little bit bigger Booster you can reach much more Speed, altitude and Range. How the Americans start their war with cruise missiles. We should get...

But that's exactly what I don't want, these are all really complex systems with lots of sensors that cost a lot of money Simsek & Co are also cruise missiles with a turbofan engine = costs a lot of money. You can't fire hundreds or thousands of them. Then Turkey's ammunition stores would be...

A hypothetical question: let's say we were planning a first strike against Greece. How could we do that by surprising them and taking out their air defense system, that's just the first step, without firing the really good stuff first, e.g. cruise/ballistic missiles. In my plan, I want to force...

Why doesn't the KF-21 have an internal weapons bay? That's one of the main features of a stealth fighter, isn't it? Otherwise, the KF-21 makes a very good impression, which is a real shame, it would even have been a good alternative for Turkey instead of the Eurofighter....

Question what kind of heavy glide bombs do we actually have in stock apart from JDAM/HGK which, as far as I know, are limited to a range of 28 km. The Russians are currently massively attacking Ukraine with 900 - 1500 kg glide bombs with a range of 50 - 70 km. Since they leave no or hardly any...

Let's not kid ourselves.... if we export KAAN or anything complex like an air defense system will have backdoors in both hardware & software. No country in the world would not want to use that, as a country you always have the risk that the weapons will be passed on or turned against you.

I took the liberty of asking the Google Gemini AI a hypothetical question just for fun, an extremely powerful tool I must say. The answer from Gemini about the TEI TF 6000/10000 engine thrust-to-weight Ratio with Kizilelma: The thrust-to-weight ratio of the Kizilelma drone with the available...

I don't believe it either, at least a demonstrator/prototype should be available by now and it should also work and have a few tests behind it so that the schedule is realistic. There is absolutely no evidence for this.... Just testing and certifying and troubleshooting both the hardware and the...

That makes no sense.... In the future, a drone should be developed in parallel that only functions as a refueling drone. It would then wait at a specific flight point and refuel the aircraft, which is simply much more efficient and cheaper. A very Large Turboprob HALE Drone without any special...

At Welt.de, a German news site, there are easily over 300-400 hate comments from Germans.... and then they accuse us of having an exaggerated national consciousness. They are literally foaming at the mouth with anger and envy and make claims such as that he is no good and that Turks in general...
