He is %100 correct on this one.

It is indeed EKV and it is nothing new. One has to produce an EKV to develop an MKV. Tubitak SAGE and Roketsan have been developing subsystems and researching base technologies for years. Exoatmospheric interception capability will be introduced after 2028.

Give it a decade and you will see China has %90+ autarchy in semiconductors from sand/silicon and chemicals to lithography machines, advanced tools, masks, optics, precision measurement devices, and production processes. It is a process and it resembles the snowball effect similar to the...

Şimşek/Süper Şimşek will be a manace to any foe. I see chaff flare dispensers on the wings for the less stealthy one. Those chaff flare dispenser will probably be able to launch smart RF decoys in addition to chaff and flare. Now think about that this thing will also mimic RCS of a fighter while...

The initial laser weapon might not be a majestic 150kW laser. It might be a more conservative one but it will be enough to fry the electronics of missiles at longer ranges(5+km) and enough to destroy at short ranges (<5 km) 20 F-35 won't change the tide of war. Block 10 will have Burfis. Even...

Block 30 will have a laser weapon and a serial production variant of the national engine. Block 30 will also have an improved RCS coating (~25db). There will be early availability of the TF6000 engine for Kızılelma and Anka-3 prototypes in 2025. TF6000/10000 serial production is on track for 2026.

The exchange rate is not a problem on the contrary lira is valuable right now.

Yeah, the economy is mostly on track now. Inflation is the only problem and it doesn't have a quick and easy solution but I'm confident as long as Erdoğan doesn't stick his nose in economic affairs Mr. Mehmet Şimşek will get it under control in 2-3 years. IMHO we might end this year with %40...

EIRS is a network-based multistatic radar. EIRS radars synchronize time and frequency values when operating in multistatic mode basically the whole network acts as a single radar. This type of synchronization is an extremely difficult task to achieve. It is inherently different than forming a...

You lose ~%15 of the thrust with this type of nozzle. It is a trade-off for better stealth. 3D TVC is overkill. 2D is more than enough for good maneuverability.

I think the president was talking about stand-alone engine bench tests. This news is about the missile ballistic tests. Gökhan will be fired from the ground with an engine and autopilot probably in Q4 this year or in Q1 2025. Flutter and airborne firing tests will probably start sometime in 2025...

I heard similar things I even heard that the responsible party produced the casing of the prototype engine but there is a good time between production of initial parts and assembling the whole engine and running it. I heard the same 38000 lbf thrust claim it is probably based on detailed...

Every radar does that to some extent. You can listen to RF signals that your receiver can pick up. In that regard, the F-35 is likely better than the F-22 as its radar is more advanced. If your receiver module has wide frequency coverage it can pick up signals at a wide frequency range and if it...

More T/R modules do not necessarily mean longer range but it means higher resolution. Higher power output means longer range. Lower operational frequency means a higher range but lower resolution. Higher pulse repetition frequency means more range. A higher pulse width means more range.

Why are you blatantly lying?

Although the testing campaign accumulated over a hundred hours of engine operation time, the engine is yet to be tested at maxed-out conditions. There will be new iterative TF-6000 prototypes but there won't be as many as TS-1400. It seems that 6000lbf will be achieved without forcing the engine...

2x150 kW. There is no need for a third generator as the space allocated to current generators can house even bigger ones but there is no need as there is no subsystem to take advantage of it for the KAAN block 10. There won't be a laser weapon for KAAN Block 10 but there is a project to arm...

It is not contradictory. The daily production will increase to 10 million cubic meters in 7 months and the first phase will be completed. It will reach 40 million cubic meters in 2029 when the second phase ends.

According to conceptual studies adding external fuel tanks to KAAN proved problematic for RCS even though simulated fuel tanks have a stealth design. Drag increase for supercruise is also a problem as stealth fuel tank designs have a higher drag than legacy fuel tanks. It is less of a problem at...

There will be a bigger Anka-3.
