That looks like Pi π to me, my calculations show 1.26 km² which is still big enough for a 2000 lb drop.

Multiple Gazaps can be used to carpet bomb a target for bigger and selective effect. Gazap is a stop gap solution before we make nukes.

You should consider German reaction to Gazap before nonsensing.

Probably but satellite transmission is probably only half of the trick, I would say possibly ground antenna transmission complements the detection process. So it is absolutely necessary to avoid Starlink service in the regions of interest to us. But this is just my guess.

A satellite constellation like the Starlink is essentially an AESA radar network with global coverage. We need one for ourselves too and we can put visual observation on top of it to zoom into movement with a smaller number of optical satellites.

Türkiye is in 12th position barely surpassed by Italy, 11th position is within reach in a couple of years considering past growth performance. While in Nominal GDP Türkiye ranks 16th going up by one compared to 2024. Note the 2.54x factor between PPP and nominal GDP. Charts prepared by Zafer.

This map shows the possibilities, take it for what its worth.

No statement yet just third party allegations.

Egypt is interested in being in the Kaan project, so do we make a gift wrap of 48 pieces.

Selçuk Bayraktar is talking about when fighter jets are offered to some buyers at premium prices like the ones custom made for the UAE. In those cases the prices go up exponentially. He should tone down his narrative to the perception capability of the audience who mixes up hypothetical talk...

You can ask this price when you sell it to foreign buyers but the cost to produce the system totally depends on how cheap you can make the product's components. A vertically integrated Baykar making most of the components from airframe to engine and to sensors and all in house can very well...

Zafer knows no idol, he gives credit to where credit is due, like anyone should. Having been involved in aviation since mid-teens I can tell a miracle when I see one.

While TS1400 has gone through 8 iterative builds, I think the TF6000 will go through a smaller number of iterations. This is about the learning process of engine making for the maker. With every completed engine the next engine should take less time to complete developing. This reality was...

Seems to be so, in this case we have no clue what the actual number is at this stage. However off the top of my head I remember that the Kızılelma would initially use a 5500 lbf engine and TF6000 would be like 10% higher. I have no clue what happened to that 5500 lbf engine. Edit: Seems like...

Selçuk Bayraktar mentioned it briefly in this talk too. Your predictions about the TS1400 is totally baseless. And stop with accusations of spreading misinformation.

TSK maybe holding off from buying more UAV because newer ones keep cropping up. A larger Akıncı with the TS1400 engine is already in the works which will be more attractive for the TSK. I don't see why Selçuk Bayraktar would be misinforming the public. He is the manufacturer, he has full...

He talks about cost to manufacture and not the sales price. If They make more of the components themselves they can do that. But the cost to the customer will be measured by the value offered compared to alternative offerings.

Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft 2.0 (MOSAIC) MOSAIC is here, Sport Pilot 2.0, aviation made easier and more affordable (for Americans). We don't have Sport Pilot Certification in Türkiye and we should as it makes entry level aviation half as costly and half as difficult yet twice the fun...

A side note: Such a plane can very well be used to launch low earth orbit space payload. Like 100-500 kg payloads can be launched with such a plane. This is feasible because you don't need range with it and all the carrying capacity can go to the rocket that will carry the payload. See the...

The only engine that should power such a plane would be a non-afterburner Kaan engine. By comparison with the B-21 Raider we can safely say a twin engine plane should be able to carry 7 tons of weapons load inside the weapons bay given a similar flight range is maintained. However in shorter...
