As strategic an asset as Kaan is, think like this, we still have F16 and F4. These are planes others have and know everything about. And are now outdated. F35 is also a plane others have and know a lot about, but if we had access to it we wouldn't have too many worries about the defense of our...

Finally a more sensible version

The weakness in intelligence of iran is just as shocking, and that is the one thing I am most afraid of. If we stupid decisions are made like that where force commanders are somehow caught in the same building for whatever reason for an attack I wonder what would happen. The ongoing rapid...

Not putting all your eggs in one basket is something, but you buy like 2 different types of jet for that, not 5. Although we are also considering F16 or F35 and Eurofighter in addition to Kaan, but our situation is we don't know if any of those would be sold to us so we pursue all possibilities...

Too many projects, Rafale, F15, Kf-21 and Kaan, are you going to buy all?

Well our deliveries take priority, if planned rate is 24 per year ( and not immediately, so it will ramp up slowly) then 3-4 years only deliveries to TurAF

Will be too many expensive jets, they are buying 40 new 5th gens, awacs and air defense form China, they seem to have realized the immediacy of their weaknesses after recent incident and won't wait for Kaan and won't have money for it any time soo. Maybe in the future

Oh let's clarify this, do you think people attacking with drones will only use one type of drone? Even small groups have 358s now, they will obviously try to defend their airspace somewhat

You are making the wrong calculation. How much does hurkus cost? How can you risk it against such a cheap drone? A jet will fly too fast and high for 358 but hurkus wont, and 358 can much likely saturate the number of cirits you can put on it, thats assuming cirit can hit such a missile head on...

Even if you say anduril is expensive, irans 358? ( already being used against aksungur, akinci etc )

Manned propeller planes are obsolete. Something like andruil roadrunner or even iran's remote controller anti air cruise missiles can take them down already.

Still 0 operational fighters with aesa radar + lowest number of fighters in years

Would make sense if Turkey was involved in increasing the numbers, it would maybe not be possible to buy jf17 for Turkey but if Azerbaijan bought more and stationed them in here temporarily as a stopgap measure under a unified command, that would make sense.

Our current status is getting more and more embarrassing. We need to finalize at least one of F16 B70 or Eurofighter right away, without the signatures we can't even guarantee any delivery date and yet Pakistan and Algeria are getting J35 and Su57 this year

Azerbaijan's deal is partly funding the J35 deal as well I guess. A nice synergy

Our problem is indeed not that we don't have such systems, but that we don't have them deployed comprehensively

Milgem is uniquely complicated, sometimes first ship will have foreign systems that are indigenized on later ships

Yes but imagine you can leave things to autopilot during engagement

There are difficulties with canopy and launch seat design, we adhered to F35 shape to keep it simple. Redesigning would be too major for now. What we should do is give Kaan ability to fly semi autonomous so pilots cognitive load will be reduced and they can focus on mission systems rather than...

Until 2034 ( or 2-3 more years) , the chances of us buying approx 100 of each of those is not bad, and spain is buying 24 + 24? We have to sell 150-200 more and T7 is still problematic. Hurjet has luck in many markets surprisingly
