    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    NO. (with big capitals) This is almost final design.

    IMO, the reason for the delay in the delivery of the Gökbey helicopter is the LHTEC CTS-800 engine, which is planned to be used in the first batches. I don't have any proof, but I feel like there is a deliberate delay in the license for that engine. I think if the TS-1400 engine enters mass...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Why didn't they take our TFX project seriously? Did they think we weren't serious or did they think we didn't have the ability? And what interests me more is this: Why did they take it seriously now?

    Think of it like an aerial sniper team. As the team's spotter, Akıncı will search&track the target as a member of the herd of AWACS-UAV. Anka-3, on the other hand, will fire very long-range AA missiles like a sniper wearing ghillie camouflage. Kızılelma, on the other hand, will engage the enemy...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I once said about Akıncı, "We will benefit greatly from the meat and feathers of this bird." I said so, and so it happened. Akıncı even became a test plane for radar, what else can you ask for? I expect Akıncı to become the "flying Gökhan launcher" within 1-2 years. Launching Siper HSS missiles...

    Yes! I am as happy as if Kaan had flown! :D We can now deliver our much-desired "love" packages to the herd of hyenas&jackals around us, of course if the TF-6000/10000 engine enters mass production.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Our geography is boiling. In this geopolitical environment, we urgently need functional air power. The only way to do this is through domestic radar and domestic engine. If we had not been proactive and developed Hisar/Siper, Hürjet, drones and guided munitions, our situation would have been...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I am more excited to see the news (TEI TF-6000 engine ignited for the first time & Aselsan Murad AESA Radar is ready for mass production) rather than KAAN's maiden flight.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I have a radar project, the details of which I will not share here. I am thinking of retiring in August 2024 (in an EYT style). I can deal with that project at Teknokent. I think that with a software update and some minor hardware changes, I can bring the underpowered radars deployed on drones...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    For combat, yes you are right. For test, thats questionable. IMO, While Akıncı is flying for testing purposes, the energy gap of the radar can be covered with auxiliary power units mounted on the bomb launchers. Especially the single bomb launcher under the fuselage is very suitable for this...

    The chief engineer of the Hürjet project said that in the Armed Hürjet version, the drone officer who will sit behind the pilot will manage the KE and Anka-3 drones. If this happens, I think the Armed Hürjet can no longer be considered a LIFT aircraft. Transforms into a heavyweight fighter...

    This is nothing new. We have known this since the 1990s. Some Europeans are just beginning to understand. The same is true for the USA. That is why we are taking these two "allies" out of the supply chain in our arms supply. Most of the task has been accomplished, little remains.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    How long have we been talking about turbine engines with the British? It's been a while, isn't it? How many RR engines have we bought, never mind built under license? "0". ZERO in writing. Pretty interesting, isn't it?

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Or the Kaan prototype passed the tests and they realized that Kaan was fit to fly. But at the last minute, the politicians came up with the idea of using this first flight as an election advertisement in the March 31 2024 elections! LOL

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Our need for fighter flown by human pilots can be effectively solved with the "armed & drone commander" Hürjet. In that case, there may not even be a need for Kaan. Because the concept being considered is the 6th generation concept, even if Hürjet is the 4th generation. After sufficient...

    The main problem I see in the PDF is this: Thinking that freedom of expression is absolute. However, it is not absolute. If a non-Muslim person dies and someone writes about him saying "May God have mercy on him" and a fascist bigot comes out and says "No such thing can be said about...
