There's no need to have any false illusions here - nothing will happen before 2029/30 with a prototype engine. Don't expect the first production Serial aircraft with their own functioning engine until 2032/33. The validation and testing of a high-performance engine takes at least 3-4 years and...

Turkey cannot afford KAAN 500+ it is simply too expensive in the long term. 130-150 TAI KAANs is realistic, and I hope that right after the series production of TAI KAAN starts they develop a small stealth fighter jet as a single jet with delta canard based on TAI KAAN, which is also suitable...

A crazy theory, but what if Turkey deliberately provoked their ejection. The F-35 program costs an insane amount of money and rumor has it that they don't have total control over the aircraft, Turkey has gained very significant technology knowledge through this program without which TAI KAAN...

It could also be radar-guided missiles - the article doesn't say exactly, I may not remember, at least what was circulating as news at the time. Afif says it wasn't like that, maybe he wants to enlighten us all as to what actually happened. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I read at the time that...

The F-35 is history for Turkey, and that's a good thing, because even if TAI KAAN is worse than the current F-35 block, you still have full control over it. If I believe the rumors, the F-35 can only be launched with launch codes from the US, and the weapon systems can be deactivated remotely...

I see it the same way as you because they could fill the gap between fighter jet missions and drone missions, but I think the conversion in a drone really makes sense and should be feasible without changing the design too much. Where the cockpit is, you could remove everything and only install...

You right but regardless of this, it still makes more sense to use the Hürküs C as a drone in future combat scenarios than to fly it manned. As you know, pilots don't grow on trees - they have years of training and experience in combat missions. Putting these people in a turboprop, regardless of...

HÜRKÜS C as a converted combat drone yes, but manned I would not send anyone into a conflict or war with turboprop aircraft. These are trainers or third world combat aircraft for their needs, e.g. for patrol and counter-terrorism. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for us - the US supports the...

Again, you can't supply your entire fleet with only very expensive air superiority fighters - that costs a lot of money, otherwise the USA wouldn't have cut the F-22 Raptor. They brought out the F-35 precisely because it is a platform that is much cheaper to maintain with the same technology...

Experience has shown that the initial figures requested for the procurement of a weapons platform are never correct, regardless of the country, and are usually corrected downwards in each country. The reasons would always be the same: high production costs coupled with high operating costs, so...

The numbers being thrown around lol, we'll be lucky if we end up with 120-150 planes. Because 90-120 Million USD per plane is anything, but certainly not cheap. Even if most of the money stays at home and circulates in our own ecosystem, it's still a big number. We are talking about USD 12-14...

Mel Gibson not 😂

It is a strange view, the Jews have no connection to Jesus (hazreti isa) nor do they see him as the Son of God, a prophet or a saint. Instead, the Jews had him crucified by the Romans, and even then they were probably too fine to do this and let others do their work. Interesting that they would...

You need money for this.

What face has Iran been saving? With every attack on their bases, consulates, intelligence offices or anywhere else, they have more or less accepted it. Either a high-ranking Iranian general or someone else important is blown up by the enemy. The result is an embarrassing firework display that...

Who said that the provider (Turkey) and the customer (Burkina Faso) know that the satellite network is/has been manipulated by third parties? Why are there (double) agents, spies, organizations in the world that try to outdo each other, otherwise there would be no secret services in general? Who...

The military satellite network in both navigation & communication breaks down e.g. due to a virus, backdoor or worm created years before by a potential enemy state. If you were to go into the future now, and Turkey is at war with countries, for example, and the USA/EU interrupts all US GPS...

I don't know if it makes sense to export High-End Reaper Class Drones to Africa. I can still understand TB2 but Akinci & Co how is that supposed to work? These countries have virtually no military navigation & communication capabilities and if Turkey allows them to access their own satellite...

It may be that Rafaele & Eurofighter Typhoon are better than F-16 Block 70/Özgür. But TAI KAAN is supposed to fill this gap to compete against F-35, Eurofighter Typhoon & Rafaele.
