it won't damage the economy, at all Current budget is around 1.1 Percent of GDP and spending is even less

There is also diversity advantage in our side, Greek jets will always be reliant on their radars and their squadrons for SEAD/DEAD and ground attack. It is not hard to think that these will be done by UCAVs and E-7T in our side, drastically increasing the aircraft number count that can fight...

You are also right in your point, just like the ones who say we need new jets. The problem is we don't know what TurAF wants. Maybe their needs at this point is stealth aircraft, then buying new jets won't make much sense as we won't be getting stealth aircraft with buying one. If it is having...

Get ready for another wave of UN reports on how Turkey uses AI fully without man in the loop for military Oof I think it is for TB-3 or Kızılelma

Are those numbers on the wall indicate prototype number?

3rd one?

I wonder if MTOW is lower because of less weapon carrying capacity or lighter materials From the info it is only 1-2 tons above F-35 MTOW. And even with F110, TWR wouldn't be bad at full load, and will be around 1 with 35k lb engines at full weight (MTOW) I just don't get how

is it still 6+2?

Yes

Wonder which prototype this one is Also I can't get a allowance for 2 months and they let high school kids to enter TAI? 🤬🤬🤬

Well yes, but if you scale it up and change some parameters, you get a Hurjet engine, you increase the diameter a bit more you get a 35k Lbf class engine. The real thing they want to do is test TVC, convergent divergent nozzle, better fuel economy, different fan structure (for RCS reduction)...

Oh I meant test of TF-6000, we will see it in inventory, just not with TF-6000 (not in high numbers to be exact) TF-6000 will use Kızılelma as a test bed, testing TVC, nozzle tech etc

i think that we won't see much TF-6000 serial production ones. Kızılelma will be used to test the engine and new tech

Probably a scaled down version

But definetly not the old one, looking at the canopy, it covers 360°, unlike the first mockup which didn't have backwards looking one

Maybe a new mockup

Didnt Bilgem already delivered the IPU and Avionics processing unit?

iirc the plan is to produce F404s in Turkey

I think that we should develop a single engine stealth jet (using only 1 engine of TF-X engine, developed by RR+Kale) to convert all of our F-16s (after TF-X introduction) to stealth 5th gen jets with superior sensors

Oof
