Why update the brochure when the jet's dimensions will change again in one month? The brochure dimensions are for P1, not P0. And they do not take into account the height of the cockpit when measuring the height of the aircraft. They take into account the vertical stabilizers. If they dropped...

I think P0 was rushed for the elections. I expect major design changes, and the significant changes to dimensions are an early proof of this. Another proof is they will reveal P1 at the end of 2025, not in the middle. Meaning more changes have been done rather than continuing on with P0.

Those photos are from P0, not P1. No official photos of P1 so far. Parts manufacturing for P1 started 1-2 months ago, that photo was released January 21 2025. It's very likely that the vertical stabilizers have been moved to the sides because Kaan's height has dropped by 1 metre.

Could the Kaan carry a missile similar to ASM-3 inside weapons bays? Weapons bay of Kaan is not like F-22 or F-35, more like SU-57 with the weapon bays between the engines. Allowing for longer length missiles/bombs. Could it carry a 6 metre ramjet missile in stealth configuration?

USA and Turkey will begin technical talks on F-35. -Al Monitor

I would much prefer F-35 over Eurofighter, F-35 can easily counter Rafale. But the likelihood of us getting F-35 is slim. Israeli lobby wouldn’t allow it. The reason they are getting eurofighter is for diversification of fighters and access to meteor missile.

This was the image circulating, they called it Anka 4, and said it will fly alongside Kaan. I can't find the infographic maybe somebody can.

I read somewhere that TAI plans to develop a manned stealth bomber like the B-21? Using the TF-35000. They say after Anka 3. Or is this incorrect?

Germany can't wipe its own ass, you think they're going to send hundreds of MTU engines and renk transmissions in the midst of all this?

US GDP is smoke and mirrors, US economy is overfinancialized, and consumption based. Its the biggest debtor nation. Borrowing money from countries like China who produce and sell to Americans for them to consume. Manufacturing and other real industries have not grown but "Real Estate", "Finance...

Baykar should be careful with technology transfer, accessing EU market doesn’t mean shit if we breed future competitors. Italy could transfer the tech through eurodrone program and you have 10 future competitors.

Turkish-made MİLGEM warships may enter the navies of European countries such as Ireland and Portugal. Also corvettes and light frigates to the Bulgarian and Romanian navies. -Kozan Selcuk Erkan/Al Monitor

https://www.amyna.news/greek-news/christophe-gomart-warns-european-f-35s-at-risk-of-us-control/ Good thing we got Kaan going, that yellow haired monkey can scratch my balls. Maybe some countries will cancel F-35 purchases.

In the future they should focus on buying more A400m as it can do both tactical and strategic airlift. And eventually completely replace C130s. Less parts, less maintenance training and less dependency on USA.

I bet good money it will happen before 2035. I also bet China will win. The barges with extendable ramps will be a game-changer. Before they could accurately prepare because all landing sites were well-known by Taiwan. Now China will keep them guessing. A good indicator will be when China...
