It is also a counterweight in the Mediterranean to France, Greece/Cyprus and Egypt. Neither Spain nor Italy want or tolerate France having or gaining too much power in the Mediterranean through its proxies such as Greece/Cyprus & Egypt. That is why they support Turkey pragmatically, e.g. through...

I am only worried about the industrial cooperation between Pakistan and China through J-17, there could be an involuntary transfer of technology from TAI KAAN through Chinese espionage.

The Hürjet, in its current trainer configuration, is not suitable for a naval version. Investing in such an adaptation would be a waste of resources, as the aircraft would be outmatched in every aspect. In a potential conflict, it would stand no chance against competitors. Deploying an aircraft...

Perhaps it would have made more sense to develop the Hürjet 20-30% larger with 2 F-404 engines.... Additionally with a small internal weapons bay for 2-3 AAMs and a bit more stealth Design. As it is now, it would always lose as a future naval version against Russia, China, India or France, e.g...

OK, you don't seem to understand 😊 Turkey doesn't have the financial means, you can't just develop an absolutely high end engine and produce it on an assembly line just because you or I want it that way. The aircraft also has to be affordable, both in terms of the purchase price for the armed...

This is just a theory of mine, I just wanted to make the engine less complex as Revision 1. TAI KAAN will probably be a bit smaller and more delicate anyway, between 6-8% reduction is mentioned, and therefore also lighter. So 90kn dry and 150kn wet is a sweet spot, isn't it? You also have to be...

How realistic is it if the indigenous engine has this configuration it is less complex than the F-110 129, it has less mechanical parts and therefore a bit more power. It has 1 less fan and compressor and 1 more high and low pressure turbine to distribute the load more evenly.

Yes...is not really better Engine then PD170 PD222 PD170 PD270? 20000ft 250hp 30000ft 170hp Would not be bad then you could carry 450-500kg payload, the TB3 would benefit immensely. It could carry 2-4 MAM-T and 1x air-to-air missile against enemy drones with dual/quad pneumatic racks + 1-2...

Is there actually a better engine than TEI PD170 for higher payloads for MALE drones like TB2/3 and Anka S?

Addendum/supplement: I even maintain that they have gone a few steps further in their considerations. They can easily use the 40 F-16 Block 70 + 40 Eurofighters against Russia and most countries in the Middle East if they have to. They can easily send them into some pointless NATO maneuvers on...

Then I ask you, what damage has the F-35 exclusion really caused that it is irreversible for Turkey? I say none worth mentioning because both Turkey with the S-400 and the U.S. with the non-delivery of the F-35 could walk this line without significant damage to either side. Both sides had to go...

For one simple reason: The Americans cannot stop the KAAN project. In fact, I am very sure that they know exactly when the Turkish engine will be ready and what specifications it will have. From the American point of view, a refusal by the US government to export F-110s would be useless and...

@Yasar_TR We are talking about only about the subcomponent Engine. You know very well that the development and production of a high-performance engine takes an average of 8-10 years, that's almost a rule of thumb. And this rule applies to every industrial nation, so unless we have special magic...

I think that the engine will be ready in 2033/34, not before.

This shot will definitely backfire because you will now see a lot more countries getting together in a working group and developing GPU/AI design and sending it as contract work to FABs in China, Taiwan or South Korea for production in a reasonably modern manufacturing facility. This has...

I know ☺️, but we are only talking hypothetically about whether there would be a benefit for Turkish industry if we were invited to join the consortium.

It's not about giving something up, but cooperation on a GEN 6 aircraft really makes sense. TAI KAAN as a GEN 5 makes sense because Turkey does not have its own GEN 4.5 fighter aircraft, and they will not give up this aircraft either, everyone is sure of that. It is simply about having an...

I'm not saying that they have to do it absolutely without ifs and buts, but if the conditions are good they should definitely go along with it, that's immense know-how they get. Do you know how pissed off Germany was when the UK & Co asked Germany to disclose the data of the Eurofighter and its...

Please don't be angry with me, I don't want to drag our industry into the mud and make it look bad. They really have achieved incredible things in just 15 years - nobody questions that, not even foreign countries. But countries like Great Britain, Japan, France and even Germany and Italy are at...

But a technology transfer always takes place somehow because you get an insight into the technology itself and its manufacturing technology to a certain degree. Through the contract work of Boeing and Airbus Cargo and passenger aircraft, license construction of the F-16 and the parts of the F-35...
