While it may seem redundant to have two jet engine producers/developers, it can also benefit Turkiye through competition i.e. Baykar vs TAI. Baykar has a ton of money and they need to invest it to increase shareholder value (instead of paying it out to investors as dividends). Fergani Space and...

Marketing.

Apparently the PPK shot down an AKSUNGUR. Can anyone confirm the validity of this video?

This guy is a complete fool.

" KEMANKEŞ 2 is an indigenous and original mini intelligent cruise missile that Baykar developed for the purpose of striking strategically-important targets. The KEMANKEŞ missile family was named after the legendary archers in Turkish history, who were known for hitting the bull’s eye – even...

Looks bigger and costlier. Hopefully Kemankes 1 is still being produced.

Brother, all this things are nice on paper but they don't work in reality. in 2024, 50% of USAF F-35s were unable to conduct any meaningful combat missions. on a global level nearly 70% of all F-35s have significant deficiencies and cannot be considered combat ready. The US is even...

Be specific brother. It is easy to use intangible sentences like "platform maturity across the domains" and "sensor fusion". Which at the end of the day are just fancy american sales tricks to make customers overpay for the F-35s. F-35 is not even a combat ready platform TODAY, with over 2/3 of...

The arguments made for KAAN Block 10 being a 4.5+ generation fighter is primarily related to engines. Where is F-35s supercruise? Is F-35 then 4.5+ generation as well? If I am not mistaken, BURFIS will be ready for KAAN Block 10. As mentioned, in some aspects Block 10 will be superior to F-35...

KAAN Block 10 will be vastly superior to Rafale and F-16 Block 70 - there is no question about this. KAAN Block 10 should be able to present a challenge to F-35s - from official statements it will be superior in some aspects and inferior in other. Greece would be exceptionally stupid if they...

Ramp seems finished.

Fergani Space tested their space engine for their satellites for the first time. I have a feeling that Fergani Space will make Turkiye a frontrunner in space, just like they made Turkiye a frontrunner in UAV/UCAVs.

Turkiye TFR is a serious risk to the country's ambition of becoming a world power. If something doesn't change drastically, Turkiye could be forced to import immigrants from Central Asia (which wouldn't be too big of a problem). Uzbekistan in particular has a booming population.

Folks are putting too much emphasis on F-16s. They will not make a difference. They are too few, too light, outdated and comes too late. Russia has developed the ability to strike air assets while they are on ground (Nearly all of Ukraine's Mig-29s have been destroyed on ground recently)...

What factory?

Temel Kotil Kaan being delivered in 2028 will be 100% domestic including engine and ejection seat! Sounds they are now even more confident about TF35K

Several villages (5-6) captured already during the Kharkov offensive (confirmed by both sides). Seems like they broke through the Ukrainian lines. Russia will leave this conflict victorious and much more capable to wage modern warfare than when it entered it. The dire situation in the 1st year...

What a beauty. I have no words to describe my awe.

Ukrainian defences are increasingly rapidly crumbling on multiple sectors. Doubtful if US aid can change that. Clear manpower shortage everywhere.
