We have a big drillship fleet. We will only send 1 ship for exploration.

Some might be converted but I don't expect the first 3 prototypes to be converted.

I highly doubt it will be shorter than 20 meters.

It can easily travel past 300km but I think this extra range will be used as loitering capability. And note that Çakır doesn't need to travel at Mach 0.8 constantly it will probably be able to throttle down to Mach 0.3-0.4 while loitering to conserve fuel. Çakır will probably have...

Tolga Özbek says the next prototype of Kaan will be slightly shorter and smaller and the nose of the next prototype will see some changes. The current prototype will fly again soon.

1.17 kg/h/daN is sea level SFC unless stated otherwise. It is also mentioned in the infographic as SLS (Sea Level Static, max rpm) so if you put 51kg of fuel and run the engine for 15 minutes Çakır will travel 225km at worst.

I wonder why everybody visits Armerkom DPO and not ASFAT. I thought ASFAT designed/will design the TF-2000.

When you put 1152 30-watt GaN modules together you will get a better range than your competition. This is physics. Aselsan has vast experience and knowledge of producing radars. I'm not overestimating you guys are underestimating. Canadians did the same things with optics and now Aselsan...

Yes as you go higher fuel consumption decreases so do the air drag and thrust of the engine so it is a trade-off.

What we don't know is how good "exactly" it is. Like if someone says Murad detects 1 square meter target at 200km i wouldn't oppose it because when I calculate with the data I know about MURAD radar it is a realistic estimation. We know it is better than APG-83 because we know the performance of...

I wonder what will happen to the judge?

Prototype fighter takes longer to modernize serial modernization is quicker. Examples: Turkish CCIP program, Greek Viper program, etc.

Rookie mistake here. It is per daN per hour. This means KTJ-1750 consumes 204.75 kg per hour(1750N=175 daN, 175*1.17=204.75kg). Çakır has a speed of 0.75-0.85 mach. This means it can travel 917-1039km per hour. If the engine runs for 15 minutes it will have a 225km range at worst and it will...

Lol Hurjet program is different and has nothing to do with how the Kaan program progresses. Italian companies were a part of the project from the start. It is not the same thing.

You can't fly this fully digital aircraft without a flight computer and you can't buy a flight computer from somewhere and fly your aircraft with it. It doesn't work that way. Probably an early version or another flight computer that is enough to make the first flight is used while the flight...

There are around 30 F-16 block 30s in the inventory of TurAF. 8th aircraft was delivered in July 2021 so even with a snail speed of 1 fighter per month it should be finished by now.

For you yes, for me no. Anyway here is some news from 2021. It says 8th fighter is delivered https://www.savunmasanayist.com/modernize-edilen-sekizinci-f-16-blok-30/

There is no structural mod right now. That project is finished. TAI delivered all of the F-16 block 30s modernized under the structural modernization project.
