It is a designation with a single word, not a conversation starter. It's not like we ran out of Turkish vocabulary and started picking loan words.

I won't go into our issues in the region and of our needs to not derail the thread. But the idea of countering China's air force with imported, downgraded jets seems erroneous to me. You have to have your own custom hardware running your custom software to find custom solutions against different...

I hear you, but it could play out otherwise than your rational conclusion. I try to look at it from another perspective. The program managers of AMCA will get a relief once you get F35s. The engineers will say that they need more time as they will always want to optimize their design before...

What makes you think that?

And Trump is the one who kicked us out of the F35 programme. I wish a journalist asked this question to him. If he is so liberal with F35 because of his main focus on China, he could offer the jet to us as well. But even in that case we should stay away from it. KAAN is in further along in its...

Probably. All the advanced radars, missiles, eo systems, avionics, other subsystems of yours and their supply chain will become useless and won't be maintained as you won't be able integrate them into F35. Amca as a medium-weight fighter would be no match for F-35 and the generals of your air...

this post about GÖKHAN was in my X feed today. Were these figures shared before or is the guy just speculating? 20 km altitude ~350 km range 10 km altitude ~200 km range ~150-200 T/R module MMW type 26.5-40 GHz Ka band GaN AESA seeker Launch ~0.5-2+ Mach Interception ~2-4.5 Mach Snap up/down...

I think TAI's concern is mainly the helicopter and its performance under the adverse conditions as the engine(CTS800) is more mature in its development.

if it was TS1400 we would certainly know about it by now.

I don't think we can make any informed guess without knowing the extent of the ToT and the rate of local production.

Bromance? 😂

That sounds too good to be true. We should wait for the official figures

it's a rocket that will launch 100kg to 400km altitude. Fergani has higher altitude requirements. So it won't be able to lift a single Fergani satellite. And even if it did, do you reckon producing and launching 100 rockets for 100 micro-satellites? and also, the polar orbits will require more...

@Strong AI It is a contingency plan but that rocket doesn't exist yet. And I don't think it can be developed in a timely manner that would not impede the progress of the satellite constellation. Developing turbopumps, liquid-propellant engines, reusable-rockets are much more difficult than...

it's not just about the size of the satellites. BAYKAR will have to develop; - satellite bus - inter-satellite laser links - user terminals - satellite ground systems - mass production of the constellation and of course the US has to be willing to launch your LEO based military constellation...

Cockfight 2.0 😂

It's good for the country and for BAYKAR but why is TAI not receiving any love? Does the government pitch only BAYKAR's products when doing these visits? Or is TAI's drones inferior or sth?

Will Tejas line be discontinued once Mk2 enters service? And how about Mk1a?

Last month, Haluk Görgün said that TF36000 will be integrated into KAAN in 2029 or in the beginning of 2030. So 2028(for engine) date is outdated.
