Several hundred KIZILELMAs? Are they prepping for Armageddon?

I remember, reading online, Indians boasting Modi for his approach towards the country's "neglected" defence industry. I thought he brought some urgency to the indigenous defence programs? I'm not a fan of Erdogan but he takes this business very seriously. It's either you deliver(and deliver on...

Is it reasonable to expect the engines first flight(other than the Russian testbed) within a year?

Is Tejas Mk1a still awaiting the engines? Is there any other hold-up for its roll-out?

making and validating different versions of hardware for export is not worth the trouble. what you would do is to limit the performance of the system through software. the hardware could be the same but the output would be defined by the variables in the software.

51: Panama, 52: Canada, 53: Greenland.. Seems familiar somehow :ROFLMAO:

there are many speculations online. one is that the engine on the belly might be a ramjet engine. also the engine intakes are not DSI, which China was using extensively for its other fighter jets.

If they have an ounce of brain, they should support KAAN's development with everything they have. Especially the development of TF35K. Arab world does not realize this yet but if they want to stand a chance against Israel in the future, they have to invest in Turkish MIC. We could give them...

It's crazy

The man is wearing a tie now.

I confused miles and nautical miles. yes but the Korean one can carry 2 tons more payload for the same thrust. that is not a mere detail.

It has the same engine with FA-50 and the same thrust but it has less range, less payload capacity and less speed. Why?

If we have $6 billions to spend on a launch site in Somalia, then we should have some money to invest in a 60k tons hydraulic press, as well. We could press bulkheads, landing gears, turbine engine compressors(for TEI) etc. It's a vital necessity for an advance aero-space industry...

I still can't believe we're 3d printing the titanium bulkheads. God knows how long does it take one machine to produce(print) a single bulkhead. It saves weight for sure but how scalable is it and what happens if the US stops supplying parts for them?

That is definitely the first prototype

A few photos from the production of KAAN's second prototype was shared by Haluk Görgün. "The assembly of more than 2000 domestic and national parts continues at full speed. "
