Retinar FAR-AD AESA radar. It can detect humans from 9+ km and can detect drones with the size of DJI Phantom 4 from 4.4 km. Gürbağ Savunma nationalized the pan-tilt radar redirection unit. Meteksan is gearing up for a surprise regarding this radar.

I think Aselsan will show AF-500.

Akıncı with MURAD radar will have a complete EW self-protection suite so this is not a cheap drone. EW Suite consists of; Comms ESM Comms EA Radar ESM Radar EA Self Protection system (chaff/flare and probably RF decoy) EW Pods Karetta anti-jam system.

Canik is in talks with Baykar to integrate 30x113mm cannon into Kızılelma. The mentioned autocannon is ADEN autocannon from AEI systems https://aei-systems.com/aircraft-weapons-systems/aden-aircraft-cannons/ http://aei-systems.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ADEN-30.pdf

It can be delivered in small numbers but no mass production before 2025 is expected.

I heard very encouraging news regarding the first iteration of MURAD AESA on Akıncı. Hürjet, Akıncı, Kızılelma, KAAN (MURAD-based BURFIS), and F-16 will have MURAD radar. That will make Turkiye the number 1 nation in Europe with the most amount of GaN AESA radars. I also heard some range figures...

- 29 F-16 Block 50+ with CFTs - 71 F-16 Block 50M - 102 F-16 Block 40M - 36 F-16 Block 30TM We will either upgrade 79 block 40 and 50s to Viper standard and leave out 29 Block 50+ which means we will upgrade 130 fighters to Özgür standard or we will upgrade 29 Block 50+ and 50 block 40s+ block...

Those Meteors are limited by Rafale's unimpressive radar.

Gökdoğan and Gökhan.

It uses a Gokdoğan missile, another Gokdoğan missile with a different rocket engine is also in the pipeline.

This contract is for the Özgür project and the total value exceeds 2 billion $. This means over a hundred aircraft will be modernized. I think this package includes F-16 block 30s, 40s, and 50s. I think ~150 fighters will be modernized (13,3 million $ per fighter).

If we are prepared we don't need to approve Sweden. We should hold a referendum for Sweden, this is the best answer for everyone. When those pink-ass EU leaders see %80-90 nay, they will realize one thing or 2

Yes, but it is not really suitable for A-A engagements. It is good for tracking slow-moving air vehicles which fly at lower altitudes than the F-16.

Yeah sure mate. When the US stops spare parts delivery or sanctions us when TAF flies sorties on the Sea of Islands or Northern Syria, it would be best if you remind us not to lose sleep.

Here we go US Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Chris Van Hollen: (F-16 sale to Turkey) I haven't changed my mind yet. Ankara should at least commit not to use these weapons against NATO members or America's Kurdish allies. We will have to consider all this going forward. But I...
