Don't worry Uncle Sam is sponsoring that too thanks to the Greek Diaspora. The Americans have long had no say in their own country, either they are Greeks, Jews or Armenians who have realized they can rise to the top 10000 of the country to exert influence in the country through corporate...

They have to manage it, the background of the F-35 is and was to produce an aircraft that would provide the Air Force, Navy and perhaps even other branches of the US armed forces with a combat aircraft that would replace the F-16/F-15/F18 and partly the F-22 (it is getting its own successor...

Either an engine from Ivchenko Progress, or you start directly with the TF-6000 and build as many prototypes as it takes to make it work.

Does the afterburner even make sense for Anka 3? Especially on a stealth drone with a flying wing design? If you look at the history of all American flying wing designs, from stealth bombers to drones, they all have something in common - they don't have an afterburner, and it should be obvious...

That remains to be seen... in itself, the further development of a GEN 4+ fighter aircraft is a dead end in the long term. Apart from an air superiority fighter of the 5th generation, we actually need a low-cost workhorse like the F-16 that is both maintenance-friendly and cost-effective in its...

Could the armed version of the Hürjet replace the Gen 4+ F-16 as a fighter aircraft?

F110 is not a Yerli, most of the components, including key components, come from overseas, and the final assembly, if any, is done here. I don't know if you can still call something like this a Yerli.... To me, it's nothing more than a lukewarm fart with a slightly wet finish.... if it this...

As long as the report doesn't come from Temel Kotil himself, I don't believe anyone, neither person A or B. The truthfulness of this Tweet is absolutely and 100% worth nothing. I can also make up a name as a nickname and put the Turkish flag in my profile picture and claim that Turkey will build...

There's no need to have any false illusions here - nothing will happen before 2029/30 with a prototype engine. Don't expect the first production Serial aircraft with their own functioning engine until 2032/33. The validation and testing of a high-performance engine takes at least 3-4 years and...

Turkey cannot afford KAAN 500+ it is simply too expensive in the long term. 130-150 TAI KAANs is realistic, and I hope that right after the series production of TAI KAAN starts they develop a small stealth fighter jet as a single jet with delta canard based on TAI KAAN, which is also suitable...

A crazy theory, but what if Turkey deliberately provoked their ejection. The F-35 program costs an insane amount of money and rumor has it that they don't have total control over the aircraft, Turkey has gained very significant technology knowledge through this program without which TAI KAAN...

It could also be radar-guided missiles - the article doesn't say exactly, I may not remember, at least what was circulating as news at the time. Afif says it wasn't like that, maybe he wants to enlighten us all as to what actually happened. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I read at the time that...

The F-35 is history for Turkey, and that's a good thing, because even if TAI KAAN is worse than the current F-35 block, you still have full control over it. If I believe the rumors, the F-35 can only be launched with launch codes from the US, and the weapon systems can be deactivated remotely...

I see it the same way as you because they could fill the gap between fighter jet missions and drone missions, but I think the conversion in a drone really makes sense and should be feasible without changing the design too much. Where the cockpit is, you could remove everything and only install...

You right but regardless of this, it still makes more sense to use the Hürküs C as a drone in future combat scenarios than to fly it manned. As you know, pilots don't grow on trees - they have years of training and experience in combat missions. Putting these people in a turboprop, regardless of...

HÜRKÜS C as a converted combat drone yes, but manned I would not send anyone into a conflict or war with turboprop aircraft. These are trainers or third world combat aircraft for their needs, e.g. for patrol and counter-terrorism. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for us - the US supports the...

Again, you can't supply your entire fleet with only very expensive air superiority fighters - that costs a lot of money, otherwise the USA wouldn't have cut the F-22 Raptor. They brought out the F-35 precisely because it is a platform that is much cheaper to maintain with the same technology...

Experience has shown that the initial figures requested for the procurement of a weapons platform are never correct, regardless of the country, and are usually corrected downwards in each country. The reasons would always be the same: high production costs coupled with high operating costs, so...

The numbers being thrown around lol, we'll be lucky if we end up with 120-150 planes. Because 90-120 Million USD per plane is anything, but certainly not cheap. Even if most of the money stays at home and circulates in our own ecosystem, it's still a big number. We are talking about USD 12-14...
