Everyone is allowed to have opinions but having a good / valid opinion based on facts and actual knowledge is an entirely different matter. You don't get to claim your opinion matters without a bit of due diligence

What is the longest range munition TB3 could carry? I think it's fair to say TB2's offensive capabilities became less relevant as war in Ukraine goes on, and the ISR capabilities are more relevant. If it could also fire some of the larger kuzgun variants that would be actually useful for navy...

Which country with a carrier that we would sell TB3 to won't be able to buy Mojave?

I mean it starts with a vision. 4th gen had a vision about agility, 5th gen had the idea of stealth. I feel like EU just went we wanna make a 6th gen fighter and one up US in aviation yet didn't have a clear vision. But they couldn't agree with each other because multiple large companies like...

Correct me if i’m wrong but , since F16 Özgür planes aren’t delivered and are still ongoing development with prototypes, and radars I think depend on the mission computer to function, wouldn’t it be easier to test it with a system software and computers of which are ours, and with a system...

It's been this way for a while, İsmail Demir is always being more careful and Temel Kotil being more ambitious with statements and dates.

Looks like Northrop Grumman designs, hopefully it reduces heat signature significantly

And sister ship TCG İnönü? :)

Don't like the excessive name talk but TF-1 İstiklal / Independence is probably the most fitting name, especially once domestic engines are made.

Won't several layers of RAM paint make the parts bigger, therefore possibly filling some of the gaps?

Significantly more expensive, significantly smaller fuel tanks and lower range, smaller weapon bays that can't carry some of the munitions F35A can. Don't know if it is even compatible with air force style refuel system as opposed to the ones used by US Navy and EU.

Isn't that counter intuitive? I'd imagine a proper stealth air to air fighter would require more sophistication and TAI would have more experience on that subject, whereas Baykar would probably make a more cost effective multi purpose drone against weaker targets. So like a drone to fight...

50km/h * 5000h = 250000 km, so it should mostly be idle

If tb3 can take off and land, Hürkuş could make a first trainer for naval aviation I guess. Sounds more realistic than Hürjet for now.

Is it really luck or is it lack of city planning?

Hürjet is not a fighter. There is a planned light attack craft version that is also not a multi-role fighter. It also has much more in common with 4th generation fighters than a 5th gen fighter. Making a twin engine naval version of Hürjet means making an entirely new, F18 A/B like fighter from...

What I wonder is if G40 can be used with a much smaller launcher from smaller ships that lack vls or have very few of them and easier to place on the deck, like a RAM launcher but with significantly longer maximum range. I imagine it would then be very useful for a large number of ships.

Now I wonder what a tank engine made by TEI could be like

Inlets don't look quite right
