TF35000 first fire is likely in Q4 2026. We will see the real deal in IDEF 2027. I think they will show one of the several prototypes there.

It has an EO seeker with automatic target acquisition/recognition. Machine learning/AI algorithms are used to distinguish the target from the other objects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_target_recognition

I think it is logical to de-escalate the situation. It is crystal clear that Pakistan is well prepared for this. IMHO, India tried to get the upper hand before Pakistan receives J-35s in 2026, hoping RAFALEs and SU-30MKIs will have the upper hand and force Pakistan into some kind of a deal. This...

FM of Pakistan says J-10 shot down IAF fighters. Bro 800 vs 1200, the difference is %50. This is not a difference of few TRMs. I have no doubts about the PAF, they are better trained and more professional side in this clash.

Gezgin block 1 weighs 1130-1140kg/2500 lbs ( It is related to F-16 pylon load limits. I'm nearly certain, but it is not officially confirmed, so take it as a speculation if you will). Kara Atmaca can reach 500km and has a weight of 890kg, which roughly translates to 2000 lbs, so this might also...

What makes you think that it won't reach 1000km?

I think the Navy needs a brand new oceanographic research vessel with a cutting-edge sea bed mapping capability and new ocean going research vessel can provide this capability.

I have said this many times in the Turkish defense forum. RAFALE is not a cutting-edge 4.5th gen fighter. It has a very small (838 T/R module) GaAs AESA radar, and it can't take full advantage of the Meteor missile. Other than the SPECTRA EW system, it doesn't have any shining features. F-16V is...

Turkish Technic and Rolls-Royce are setting up an engine maintenance center at Istanbul Airport. The facility will do the maintenance of Trent XWB-97, Trent XWB-84, and Trent 7000 engines starting from 2027.

There will be a turbofan engine for one of the variants of Gezgin.

Gezgin will be in blocks. The first block is a joint cruise missile that both land, air, and naval forces will use. There is a length and weight limit due to air launch capability.

Note that Atak has both an integrated jammer and a jammer pod.

He hinted IDEF. I hope SSB gives permission to speak

New measures from CB to support the Turkish lira. Basically, capital control policies.

Permanent magnet or any kind of electrical motor is child's play for the Turkish industry. The real problem is a compact nuclear reactor that will fit inside the submarine. We should cooperate with Pakistan and any willing third party. Pakistan has valuable nuclear reactor know-how. Pakistan has...

Yes, but it might be kept secret.

AF-600 will fly soon, according to Ahmet Akyol. He compared AF600 to a telescope, which emphasizes the expected range.

Yeah, that is probably all of the A and O batteries and 1 battery of Siper produced up to now
