I know that TAI KAAN will not end with Block 0 or 1, but will get at least 2-3 more blocks, maybe even a very last so-called Long Term Block as the last upgrade, if everything goes well. In other words, we are talking about 20-25 years with major hardware and software upgrades at intervals of...

A serious question, how likely is it that Turkey will participate in the Tempest project after completion of the TAI KAAN project (serial machine), say in 5-6 years. E.g. preliminary talks in 2-3 years to join the Tempest project and run it parallel as a future investment + technology transfer...

At least there's something to laugh about, he reminds me of that gray-haired Greek reporter who always thinks Turkey will attack next month 😂

The angle has been photographed is strange, as if someone had photographed a Video Photo or Videoclip from the Canvas again.

What pressure? International politics works the way those who bark the loudest are like Greece/Cyprus and France. They are under a lot of pressure, if it wasn't for that they would stay cool all the time, they don't because they have no real leverage so they are looking for some. France has lost...

I doubt that they will be able to enforce this, it would end up in a war and Turkey would finally turn away from the West. But let's assume that the EU & USA are or would be behind the Greek/Cypriot plan both politically and militarily. Turkey would ask China/Russia (with a lot of concessions)...

Baykar is not World leader, the Americans are still at least 1-2 levels above us in Sensors, Radar/SAR, Composite Material, RAM and Turboprob or Jet based Engines alone. While the drone program in Turkey was still a feasibility study in the 90s, they already had the MQ1 Predator Drone.

You are right, but it analyzes your own thought processes, whether they make sense or not. Whether they ultimately correspond to the ultimate truth is, of course, another matter. It's just a thought process for future next generation BVR doctrine that very long range radar guided munitions will...

I've always wondered why the Gökdogan has a much shorter range compared to the AIM 120 & Co as BVR Missile, and asked GPT chat what could be the reason for seeking higher speed and maneuverability at the expense of range in a BVR missile as 21st century BVR doctrine as interpreted by Turkey...

This is what Turkey has to do, all the industrialized countries like Germany, Great Britain, France, Japan, China, USA & Co have only become successful because they have become an Export Country for Industrial, Chemical Goods, Military goods and Consumer Goods since the 60-70s. I have never...

What I keep asking myself is why there is still no rocket with multispectral sensors Radar/IR/TV Seeker as All in One. The TV Seeker is synchronized by comparing the images of the generic aircraft from all perspectives in advance in the memory as META files, including their possible IR...

But the technological roots are Russian or not? It's not about Pakistan and their reliability, they are reliable! But it's not the Chinese who would engage in industrial espionage in Pakistan without Pakistan's knowledge. The J-17 is a cooperation between Pakistan and China, the probability is...

I also think that key technologies should not be handed over just like that. Pakistan is one of Turkey's closest allies like Azerbaijan, Qatar and South Korea. But Pakistan also works closely with China, the problem is not Pakistan but industrial espionage by China, the Chinese are very capable...

It's not a criticism of you or your opinion, just why the fuck would I as a mission planner want to send a Hürküs C there when I have other options that work just as well..... I would never send a manned turboprob aircraft on such a sensitive mission, the time of turboprobs as manned weapon...

Ok, it may be true that with glide bombs of the HGK Series or UAV 122 supersonic ammunition between 30-100km from the target, a Hürküs C can drop or launch its bombs/missiles without coming within range of the enemy SHORAD. Who tells me or you that there aren't many smaller groups somewhere up...

I am still not convinced of the mission profile as Hürküs C Fighter Aircraft. As a Trainer this Aircraft makes perfect sense together with Hürjet. But in contrast to the armed Hürkus, Hürjet in combination with drones can give a real impact against counter-terrorism, Pirates and Drug Cartels and...

If Saudi Arabia buys 100 KAAN then at least Block 0,1 and 2 will be financed. The only question is whether they want to buy Block 0-1 or only Block 2 with Turkish Engines. Block 0-1 will be equipped with F-110 129, the USA could block it in order not to prevent their own export possibilities.

Well, that's just the way it is when not only the technological but also the political will is there. There will certainly be some headaches and alarm bells ringing in the USA, but at the same time we don't know how far NGAD is. It may be that they are at a similar stage, or even further. But...

I would not install any European subcomponents if Germany has an intellectual property right to the Engine like EJ200. The Hürjet should continue to run with the GE F-404 engine and the Aircraft should simply be further optimized in the PT3 or PT4. 45000FT -> 48000 FT Mach 1.4 -> 1.5 48,500...

That's true, but military systems are designed for stability and absolute security; they must function within their parameters in extreme situations at all costs. There is no wiggle room when component XY causes a blue screen of death in the system and the system simply reboots. For this reason...
