I have a preliminary check of what the Kizilelma PT3 drone is likely to have installed. Engine: Ivchenko Progress AI322-30F Technical specifications: Type: Two-stage low-bypass turbofan Length: 1,960 mm Diameter: 640 mm Weight: 440 kg (without afterburner), 560 kg (with afterburner)...

You are overestimating things... Israel is not as all-powerful as you think. A large part of Europe is not absolutely pro-Israeli through and through and the countries that were or are neutral towards Israel are slowly developing a certain aversion, there would be Spain, France, partly even...

That's true, but it's also true that BAE Systems did a study to see if they could make all the Eurofighter subsystems themselves, you can guess why they did that. They are no longer part of the EU and they would be fined and the threat of Germany would go into the void of infinity.

It's not as simple as that - the Germans had the gun put to their chest by the other consortium members to agree to the deal! Many billions of euros are at stake and the jobs of the respective countries are at stake. I would even go so far as to say that the consortium members threatened to...

Then you have to bet on several horses and Turkey does that too! With air defense systems for land and sea, ballistic missiles, and the Anka 3 and Kizilelma Project. If these systems are really ready in 2-3 years together with the Gezgin cruise missiles and the integration of SOM cruise missiles...

It won't be 80 Eurofighters or 200 TAI KAAN. What money are you going to use to finance that...? In the end it will be 80-120 TAI KAAN, and 40-60 Eurofighter, then another 50-60 Hürjet Marine version and the own + new F-16 together it would be 300-310 fighter jets. We would then be close to...

In general, postings with any claims that this and that happened should be deleted directly by Admin if the person is not able to provide a proper source with a link.

I don't know what other arguments to give you, half of Europe and the USA don't see the country as a partner but as a competitor. They don't want to supply high technology by any means because they know Turkey will not only use these systems to defend their hard & soft power in their region and...

To diversify the fleet to allow a transition to TAI KAAN. But mainly it is very likely reverse engineering, at least I would do it as a country to improve my defense equipment, and that is one of the main arguments of the supplier states who are reluctant or unwilling to supply access to western...

Please do not confuse the development environment with its tools for creating an operating system and its programs with the operating system itself. The operating systems of KAAN & Hürjet are Turkish, if you can call them that. The SDK is not and without SDK there is no operating system and...

That is not what I wanted to tell you, the path that Turkey is taking is indispensable and it has to take this path to get this independence to be able to sit at the table in the future when resources become scarcer in the world. But it doesn't change the fact that there is a rocky road ahead...

AI is not a panacea - how do you want to have program code analysed and optimized by AI software in order to eliminate sources of error or speed things up? To do this, the AI software must first of all know the program code and know what context it belongs to and what it is needed for. The...

You overestimate the Turkish software development a bit, Turkey is still at the beginning, the other manufacturers have been developing these really modern combat aircraft since the 70/80s and therefore also have a head start in the software development of the operating system and its...

Ok and with which engine? F-404? Hürjet has neither the capacity nor the technology to counteract an F-16 Block 70, a Eurofighter Tranche 4 or a Rafaele in the current block. The only possibility would be to make the Hürjet 20-30% larger and equip it with 2 F-404 engines so that the thrust ratio...

What about the next prototypes? It's not as if you have to send us and half the world a report, but now there's absolutely nothing more to say, even if it's a military project, I'm more worried that there might be serious problems. There should be new information by now, right?

Seems to be a win to win situation politically, both sides get what they secretly want. Opinion making

Makes no sense to detect the heat signature, you must first locate the aircraft and get close enough to fire missiles with an infrared seeker. Then you can also fire BVR missiles at the target from a safe distance and don't even have to get close, it's far less risky than active close combat...

The heat signature of an engine plays a subordinate role in the air combat of the 21st century. This is because aerial combat will take place beyond visual range, hence the development of stealth fighter aircraft by all major industrialized nations such as the USA, Russia, China and the EU...

Conspiracy crap without any real evidence here someone is just trying to cash in on his harebrained fantasies.
