Afaik 80 million figure for F35 is not inflation adjusted and is usd value for more than a decade ago

Using same F404 hürjet to make naval trainer and LCA and then going for something single engine using a TF35000 towards 2050 makes more sense to me. Using hürjet as a stepping stone. Then that single fighter jet can also be used to replace aging F16s and serve alongside KAAN, as well as being...

I think F16 to KAAN comparison of numbers is a bit apples to oranges. KAAN will be very expensive to operate, but it is also much larger and capable. It is better to think of it as a different class of plane. I heard about the 100~ KAAN iofficial ntention before as well. Remember we are also...

That's also the reason a lot of our equipment is capped at ranges like 280km. Khan(280km) is the export version of Bora, Som J is also limited to 275km

They are also designed for quad pack, so eventually when quad pack hissar arrives, even if it takes like 5 years or so, these ships will be serving long years so they will be quite well balanced, in time

It's really the radars and weapons that increase the price

Getting tired at 70 min mark and getting scored at back to back is our classic move

Bit off-topic but I sure do hope cooperation on defense industry is only the start of much closer relationship between Turkey and Algeria. I have discovered some stuff dating back to 1800s about invasion of France and treatment of local populace, like forcibly divorcing Turkish and Algerian...

Also need to consider future, more advanced threats in the ocean. Having more vls would give room for future developments of defensive armaments, like patriot pac 3 mse being adapted to MK41

Not a good time to be skimping on VLS cells. Our ongoing TF2000 destroyer design of similar size was updated to 96 from 64 VLS after the observations of Red Sea situation
