You can also see even at the very early stage of the radar project Baykar is involved and radar integration is taken into account for Akıncı and most of the calculations are done accordingly (Top left at the early roadmap).

Power delivery, space allocated, cooling holes for air intake for the cooling system everything is designed with specs provided by Aselsan. You will see Akıncı flying with AESA very soon after Aselsan delivered AESA radar to Baykar and many people will be surprised by the speed of integration...

~1000 GaN T/R modules, 20W max nominal power output per module with transient power spikes up to 30 watts. No other details yet other than the functions like scan, track while scan, missile guidance, SAR/ISAR, GMTI etc.

Yes, Akıncı designed for AESA radar from the scratch. There will of course be modifications but even the size of the nose is calculated with the measurements Aselsan gave Baykar.

Have you ever seen an Akıncı up close? I tell you what it is huge. And the power is not related to engines as Akıncı 2*750hp won't have problems providing power to onboard systems and radars and no one is stopping Baykar to switch to the 950hp engines Akıncı designed for. Most of the power...

Operation IRINI targeted Haftar after Turkiye-UAE relations started improving.

Yes. Since Baykar is involved in the design phase of the radar there will be no problem.

F-16-Akıncı-Kızılelma will use the same radar. There will be differences in the structural parts but not the core radar. The amount of T/R modules will be the same. We will see if the power output or some of the functions of the radar will be limited by the software for UAV use. (speculation on...

Akıncı will %100 have it this year. Baykar and Aselsan cooperated in the design stage of this AESA radar so I don't see any problems integrating this into Akıncı. F-16 Block 30 Özgür will get it next year. The product looks way better and more mature than I expected. Next stop Gökdoğan test...

I don't claim Turkiye has better tech than China but I don't trust Chinese weapons, especially export versions either. I would rather have a weapon that satisfies the MIL-STD standards of NATO than a weapon with Chinese performance claims. On paper, Chinese drones are ahead, but users always...

F-22 is not in production.

It is not just about stealthier nozzle there should be IR suppression technology. F-35 has it. IR suppression system can reduce the IR signature of the engine considerably for a short period of time (15-20min) so that the fighter can't be detected at a long range with IRST systems. Chinese and...

There is a slight misunderstanding here. He meant second 5th generation fighter with a suitable engine. Currently, neither Russian nor Chinese aircraft have a suitable engine technology for a 5th gen aircraft.

We will most likely see Pars V at IDEF'23

Next year Turkiye will double its defense exports. Baykar plans to produce 500 TB2 and 40 Akıncı in 2023. Baykar will also produce DIHA. https://www.airwaypost.com/haluk-bayraktar-yilda-500-adet-tb2-unetecegiz/

TOGG factory will produce 175000 cars per year when it reaches maximum capacity. TOGG will be priced competitively vs internal combustion cars in the same segment. TOGG will switch to locally produced batteries from 2025 and will use Farasis GEN4 batteries which will be produced with local raw...

TISU has an MTOW of around 8000kg. It will be able to carry 2000kg of payload. Ballistic missiles up to 2000-2500km make sense without WMDs. They can certainly be deployed and used in a conventional war in a meaningful way. At current tech they are not only terror weapons anymore. The Iranian...

This system is for smaller UAVs. It won't work on TB2 or Anka and it is doubtful it will ever work against our small UAVs that have anti-jam antennas and Kerkes GPS independent cruise system. Anyway, we will probably deploy the TRNAV system in case something goes wrong.

Maybe they found a way. Maybe they modified an Akıncı and put a 5G base station on it to transmit data at a rate of 10 gbps to control station. You can transmit 100GB data in under 40 minutes with a 4.5G 375 mbps connection, at 1 gbps it takes under 15 minutes. You can transmit 100GB data in...

Neither Tork nor Akkor is delayed. There is no platform to put Akkor on. Akkor is planned for Altay and the next generation tracked IFV with Korhan turret. Leo2A4 TIYK will also have an active protection system but it will probably have Pulat like the M-60T as a cheaper alternative.
