Good news if at least the engines for the prototypes are here. f16 engines are for f16s. You can’t use them on any other plane. F16 uses F110GE129B and set up for single engine use. Kaan uses F110GE129E and set up for twin engine use. It is the same engine used in F15EX.

Unfortunately no. EJ200 engine develops 13500lbf dry and 20200 wet thrust. Even in war thrust settings which can not be sustained for too long, it can only manage 15500lbf dry and 23000lbf wet thrust. For a smaller TFX, RR had offered to redevelop EJ230 engine further to give 17500lbf dry and...

There s one thing that is most disturbing about the latest meeting between Trump and RTE. When asked about if F35 planes will be delivered to Turkey and Caatsa sanctions will be lifted, Trump said “First, Mr Erdogan needs to do something for me. Then we will see” This means that there is a...

Check the date bro! 2017! Much water has passed under that bridge since then! As per @Sanchez ’s post, RR had distanced itself from TRMotor. Also SSB is subject to CAATSA. That makes it a non starter for the engines. quote: On 14 December, 2020, the United States imposed the sanctions on...

Trump can not sell us anything unless congress approves. Upto 14million dollars of major parts or equipment can be sold without Congress approval. Also up to 50million dollars of minor equipment and services can be bought without approval. Anything more has to go through Congress. Even though...

Although not officially disclosed, there were reports and rumours that the consortium in charge of developing the TF35000 consisted of RR/Kale. Originally RR were to manufacture the engine of KAAN together with Kale. This engine was to be produced in Turkey under licence and Turkey would have...

Europeans don’t have an engine in that caliber. (Not including Russian engines here, as being a CAATSA country, Russian engines would be more trouble than they are worth) Only two companies in Europe that manufacture fighter jet engines: RR/MTU has EJ200 with 13500lbf dry and 20200lbf wet...

https://idrw.org/japan-offers-ihi-xf9-1-engine-for-indias-amca-program-gtre-invited-for-technical-review-amid-global-competition/ Japan has offered XF9-1 engine to India for their AMCA stealth fighter. This is a 33000lbf + wet thrust and 24250lbf dry thrust engine using 5th generation single...

That is a very realistic explanation of facts in Turkey made by a non Turk. I must commend you for that. We are aspiring to build an aircraft carrier, because it is such a high value asset that there is a lot of cream on it that can be skimmed and has a great political propaganda value. It is...

There is no way that first engine cost TEI 5million dollars. The amount of engineer-hours spent on computers to design it in virtual world then the time and effort of tens if not hundreds of technicians is not cheap. Just look at how long TR-Motor has been designing and developing the KAAN motor...

Bro, it all depends on where it is being developed, and how much foreign input has been used. According to unconfirmed estimates an engine like TF6000 should cost best part of 2 billion dollars when developed in Western countries. Having said that; According to again, unconfirmed estimates...

Yes Bro, you like me, have missed that. It was discussed here: https://defencehub.live/threads/uav-ucav-programs-anka-series-k%C4%B1z%C4%B1lelma-tb-series.6/page-676#post-370147

I am no radar expert. My radar knowledge is somewhat rudimentary. An expert on radars may explain it better. Somebody here had mentioned @Nutuk ?? Also @TheInsider seems to be well versed on radars. What I know is that almost all radars work with Pulse-Doppler Shifting. Radars send a pulse to...

Bro, EW/ECM will probably not be needed as ECRS-MK2 Aesa radar comes with the latest version of these. But should the need arise having developed similar systems for KAAN will allow us to integrate a version of it to this plane and it shouldn’t really take that long. We don’t need to discover...

IFF, EW/ECM and local munitions integration can be done very quickly if the sort codes are accessed. But if UK will sell the ECRS-MK2 radar with the planes only local IFF system and munitions need to be integrated. Extensive maintenance and repair shop system can be set up within a year whilst...

What do you mean NO? https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_110496.htm Article 5 “The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack...

One last thing to add: This is the most important fact. Turkiye has the second largest army of NATO. It means we are one of the most important parts of NATO. If Israel were to attack Türkiye militarily in any form or shape, NATO would have to respond and help Türkiye defend herself. That...

Everything you say is 100% correct on the face of it. But most of what you are saying and what we all believe about Israeli capabilities are in fact US military capabilities wrapped up in a different package. At the heart of Israeli/US success over the latest Iran air campaign lies the reality...

That is a Ukranian defence news site making these allegations. It doesn’t give any indication of the “source” of such news. Including a similar Turkish site, there are a number of other foreign sites that make the same news too. But none of them give the source of the news. It looks like...
