Mission complete: (credit: Boz) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/military-tracking-balloon-western-us-military/

Although the state of modern naval ships has largely left the need for tender ships behind, I would like to see such versatile ships reinterpreted in a way that incorporates today's new approaches and technologies. Although we used the Rhein class as a cadet ship, it was a platform with...

There is a serious interest especially on the US side, in recoverable, low-cost, maneuverable UAVs with advanced flight controls and navigation systems, and they have invested in many projects under DARPA. The project that particularly interested me was Dynetics' Gremlin concept. The mid-air...

Our veteran cadet training ship TCG Sokullu Mehmet Paşa retired with a ceremony. Probably very soon the sister ship Cezayirli Hasan Paşa will also be retired. If I am not mistaken, they were the oldest ships in our navy. They were purchased in the 1990s and joined the Turkish Navy as training...

In fact, the MALD system is one of the pioneering systems that gave birth to the loyal-wingman concept, as it enables the fighter jet in question to penetrate air defenses while on a safe course, and by jamming or decepting the enemy air defense system directly from another source, and give...

I see such what ifs on the internet, but I think KAAN's under-wing carrying pylons are there for mission range or patrol time or to carry auxiliary systems with it to the same range rather than direct munition payload. So imagine 2 XL Drop tanks and 2 Super Lightning on the pylons under the...

KAAN main subcontractors and program partners: The KAAN program involves the participation of over 200 different local subcontractors, and cumulatively involving over 30,000 labor force. The largest multidisciplinary engineering project in the history of the Republic.

While KAAN was taxiing on the runway before its first flight, the sounds of the cockpit were shared with the press.

That's a great description, it could be put in wikipedia just like that. :) Previous generational changes have always occurred because the older generation did not allow the integration of newer systems or capabilities, either in terms of structural features or power requirements.

So much so that even before Kotil gave an interview 🙃

Kotil: We built the Hürjet to accelerate the Kaan project. We are working on the 6th generation through KAAN. Perhaps one of the most important evaluation mistakes we have made is that we are referring to the traditional project development models of the western aviation industry. Normally...

It is clear that there are some developments in the background, but there is no clear information in open sources yet. TRMOTOR's post after maiden flight: As TRMOTOR, we are also working on Kaan's engine and power systems, and we look forward to seeing Kaan fly with our indigenous and...

We are mobilized to heal the wounds after earthquakes! Within the scope of the "Housing and Employment Project" of the Presidency of Defense Industries, we inaugurated the TAI Aviation Structures Production Facility in Türkoğlu district of Kahramanmaraş. We completed the infrastructure of...

aircraftupulos expertikis: But but... me: just stfu, /this gif/

This test firing was shared as the golden age of aviation, but I think the real title is the beginning of a new era in the understanding of maritime patrol. The combined machine-to-machine mission concept of UAVs and USVs seems to breathe new life into naval warfare. Instead of deploying all...

The transformation of the Turkish Air Force:

If a friend of ours can make a gif of this video, it would make it easier for us to end the discussion in a fun way by just putting this gif instead of commenting on some of them. For some time now, I have only been looking at the news and discussion topics of interest in the foreign press and...

Hi Üstad, I think we will see significantly different platform illustrations when it comes to detailed design phase. But these photos are ofc historic in terms of the message they convey to the world.

Aselpod is already certified for the JF-17 platform. Integration of the new generation will be easy. If we make an estimate based on Azerbaijan's future ammunition procurement plans, it would not be an erroneous estimate to say that the JF-17 platform will include almost all Turkish systems incl...

If the news is true, indeed the long-awaited deal has finally materialized. We will see tons of Turkish systems on the JF-17. I also don't see the recent news about cooperation on air-to-air missiles as being too far away from this deal. The Turkiye-Pakistan-Azerbaijan triangle is becoming...
