Spain can't really afford to buy FCAS, more eurofighters and also replace the harriers with F35B at once. But FCAS won't materialize before 2040, it is a weird position for them. I think they probably will buy F35B though, even if they care about local industry more than others( they still have...

Pointless if the war doesn't end, so I guess they are sure it is about to end, and want to use their yet ongoing stream of financial support for weapons to lay foundations of a navy they have to rebuild. 4 Ada class, more usvs and some small submarines would provide them some safety and defense...

This is a pipedream but would be cool if we built two carriers together one for spain and one for us and worked together on naval hurjet

Beyazıt karataş is retired air force general and F16 pilot so he must know a thing or two

Well I think we will do fine, but F-35 can be combined with all the capabilities of aegis ship and all the US satellites, uavs etc. as well. Near our borders we should have pretty good coverage from all sort of stuff like HAKIM and what not, and the actual sensors we can put on KAAN i am...

If KAAN can match F35 level of speed and agility thats sufficient for us. In fact at this stage being able to reach F35 for any given cabability is more than enough for us. If we have any extras that's nice to have, but not necessary.

I had also heard that they've foregone 4-5k design for more istifs and tf2000 instead

You frequent here so I thought you would know, anyways 3 ships in construction and 4 more to follow for istifs, and TF2000 has gone through a lot of design iterations but we have been hearing any day now for the finalisation of design and start of construction

Which region will be in FSA control? Wait didn't FSA dissolve into SNA? How is sdf going to dissolve into it, how is Turkey going to support something SDF has dissolved into?

second gökbey delivery

Doesnt align with body? Because they figured it will hurt the tail due to high heat and decided to install it sideways?

Why is it we keep losing aksungurs, and say not tb2, or anka? Or say not akinci?

Turkey by nature of it geography is closer to conflict zones, but we also have tankers etc. (That will need renewal in near future). A slightly less efficient engine for KAAN does not make that much of a difference for us. America needs to have a stealth fighter with enough range to take off...

Single barrel sounds ok. Won't be used too much so shouldn't be using too much space and weight. F35 still has the useless 25mm gatling that is unable to hit targets right? Did they ever fix it?

Would be great if they capture a few more and learn to use them effectively, combined with EW support, they should have much better chance defending against air strikes

If that is indeed the case, it makes sense. Özgür 2 may not be fully ready now but by 2028 it probably will enter serial production, so those kits wouldnt save time. I was expecting something like a year for delivery

Can anyone knowledgeable do a small summary of the situation so far?

Which is important sure, but at those ranges the sensors you have will probably not be enough to find the targets you don't already know about.

Azerbaijan has better systems don't they? Barak 8 etc

Well there is the possibility of doing the same for M60, M48 and unmodernized Leo
