I found multiple sources citing F414 at 65kva or F18 at 140 total so I guess I was remembering correctly, which btw should also tell you how powerful growler is for EW. In comparison F16 has total 60kva, F16 A/B have 40kva and I think there are some of those actually upgraded to viper...

Yeah if it was F414* it would actually have more electricity generation power than F110 * One time I saw a figure of 70kva for F414 but can't find it again so might be inaccurate

Power supply and cooling

Our air force continues to be dependent on US, it is no secret. They did intend to make many nations depend on them with things like peace onyx. You can't change this dependence overnight whether you like it or not, your pride means nothing at the face of facts. We lose in diplomacy and...

You also need those cells for Gezgin don't you

Putting 16 cells instead of 16 side launchers might make it more compact

Don't let pride blind you. If you have no alternative, you manage best of what you can get. That's all it is.

From what I see OPV have a lot of cheaper, experimental and new solutions on them in general, so I think that's part of the intention? Because they are less critical and will mostly take on lower profile missions like against pirates etc. They are using it as an opportunity for development of...

I mean surely all of these developments are result of siper system maturing, if EIRS and CENK-S perform good, we shouldn't worry. Regardless of whether UMR is on same level as AN/ SPY-6, it seems to at least work on same principle.

O Can you see 32 more? I can't quite tell, but it could be 80 or 96 I guess. I didn't notice lack of ATMACA until you said it.

Is this the most recent? Aselsan Göksur is nice an glad to see they didn't give up 64 VLS.

And MEKO modernization

Gökdeniz for 6 Hisar, 3 İstif?

A mistake that should not happen for any cost

F15 EX: Weight:Empty weight: Approximately 43,000 pounds (19,504 kilograms). Maximum takeoff weight: 81,000 pounds (36,700 kilograms). Could be a useful estimate for current KAAN

This airframe was not even meant to fly at first. That it managed to do first flight is amazing, but I doubt pushing it into those circumstances is gonna be too wise. I'd imagine they would take the data here and do necessary modifications for flight of the second prototype that was the first...

Didn't they do just that? I mean without final design how much more useful data can they obtain?

I personally don't think this prototype will fly again, I think we will have to wait another year at least for next prototype.

That ship feels like it has sailed. They already bought number of ships and jets from France and rest of EU. If we had kept better relations after coup and offered them Milgem, the equation would be different.

A company does not just work by cumulation of engineers CVs sadly. Actual project experience is everything for a team to become truly productive. You can take this statement for every engineering project. For TF6000 i specifically said tech demonstrator and not ptototype.
