Delegations from Iraq, the UAE and Qatar foreign ministries were to come to Istanbul today for consultations on the Iraq-Turkiye-Europe Development Road Project. Let's look at the situation from this perspective. While the Iraqi central government signed a cooperation agreement against...

Of course, we are not as familiar with Indian aviation programs as you are, I had only concluded from open sources that the development phase of the mk2 was quite advanced, thank you for the additional information. As you can appreciate, the Hürjet is not ready either, my ideas are more about...

Being able to produce a jet engine with a very long shelf life like the ARAT at home is a deterrent in itself. It will enable the armed forces to stockpile GEZGIN in really high quantities against all kinds of risk situations. God forbid, but in the event of an all-out war, or if the military...

As Yaşar Üstad said, Turkish-Qatari Joint air element command and permanent air base in Qatar is not the first step in the coordination of air forces and training support provided by the Turkish air force. In the public discourse, especially in the social media, the situation is interpreted in a...

Is this the final design?

I just dreaming that wing-launched, capable of carrying electro-optical sensors, infrared imagers, or electronic warfare systems (to actively jam early warning and target acquisition radars) according to mission requirement; semi-autonomous, allowing a controller in the mother-aircraft, airborne...

I think that ARAT will not only power GEZGIN Land Attack Missile. (A recoverable, low-cost UAV with digital flight controls and navigation systems that will be powered by Arat 🤞🤞🤞)

Images published on TRT News. I got the photos from Avionot. I think 'around 50 aircraft' is one of the specs that are starting to become clear. This means that I think there are at least 30 combatant jet targets when we exclude tactical drones and various types of aircraft such as utility...

'I think' even if there is such planning, it may start at very late stage. I think the most important problem with the KAAN: The Air Force is in urgent need of a new generation fighter. Moreover, the planned procurement size is astronomical, even with different blocks. Apart from the Turkish...

I think, first question is, what size of air force and sortie density is being targeted? Perhaps the naval forces may demand more than the number you speculate for training and combatants in total. Although our members who have clearly written about the risks and difficulties of the project are...

I also dwelled on this possibility for a long time, but when we scan back through the statements, from the presidency to the project engineers, the emphasis is constantly on light combatant platform. This means that will be conceptualized within the OKU/MUM-T at least, which we can think of as a...

Yesterday, the Hürjet was once again announced from the highest authority that a combat version will be developed and that this development will be a naval variant suitable for an aircraft carrier. In the light of this announcement, if we look again at the planes that were crudely compared...

A general summary of the Navy and presidential statements at yesterday's ceremony: 1- National Destroyer: (President Erdoğan) The construction activities of the TF-2000 Air Defense Warfare Destroyer will soon begin at the Istanbul Naval Shipyard Command. 2- The systems mentioned as the...

For comparison, the basic characteristics of the aircrafts known in the world in the light attack role and in service, or soon to enter the active inventory (India's MK2). It can be listed in much more detail with a little time, this is just a few datas from the wiki and referenced from...

Wait a minute, before this discussion takes a more interesting turn, let's make one thing clear: The armed Hürjet, or even the navalized development of this variant, is not the fantasy of a handful of defence enthusiasts, and please stop trying to treat it as such. Was it not declared by the...

The only thing we need for the Hurjet is an engine with a physical diameter under 90cm and a dry weight under 1200kg, that can generate around 100kN of emergency power with afterburner. To give an exact equivalent example, the F414-GE-39E developed by GE for Gripen. Everything else is ready or...

The development of end-to-end and intra-system communication technologies is increasingly unlocking the potential of distributed system architectures. For example, an airplane with a very modest physical payload can now fly with multiple loyal wing drones and use the systems and munitions on...
