Maybe a deal can be made with China to buy EM catapult or tech transfer. Going from STOBAR to CATOBAR will be expensive, they should’ve gone straight to CATOBAR.

How many Kaan’s could this carry? I remember them saying a total of 50 aircraft.

What is the operational purpose of fitting heavy drones with A2A missiles? Do they want these drones to lead, find, and track enemy air assets? Without risking an expensive manned platform (like a fighter jet)?

3 Runways. 2 Takeoff and 1 landing. In CATOBAR version could it become 3 takeoff, 1 landing?

Just end the discussion, at this point, unless we regain industrial participation there is no point giving billions to USA by buying F-35. Go invest that money on Kaan. Create jobs and factories in Turkiye. Nonetheless, this is the biggest own goal in recent Turkish geopolitics.

All that hocus pocus about the S-400 and F-35 stealth being compromised. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/14/india-to-receive-billions-in-us-weapons-including-f-35-stealth-jets-trump

One Akinci approx = $50 million One TB-3 approx = $5 million $1.8 billion for Akinci $1.2 billion for TB-3 Total $3 billion

They will mostly likely acquire 20 T3 Eurofighters from RAF or Qatar + 20 new built T4

If you really think Israel will allow the sale and lose its qualitative edge, I have a bridge to sell to you.

How much will you spend acquiring the aircraft first? Its half used. And that £30 million is only from T1 TO T3, I don't know the cost to upgrade to a further T4. You might as welll just buy new T4s.

You can upgrade Tranche 1 to Tranche 3, but I'm not sure Tranche 4. The UK is retiring because the cost of upgrading a single T1 to a T3 costs £30 million, which is more than a new T4. This is a stupid buy, I hope France or Germany blocks the deal. We were part of the F-35 program, and set to...

No, actually it was said that Kaan would be better than the F-35. The only special thing about the F-35 is the stealth coating, and maybe the sensor fusion. In all other aspects, Kaan will be superior: It will carry more A2A missiles Supercruise capability More maneuverability More electricity...

Kaan will replace F16s. Eurofighter will replace F4s.

Only the American F-35s will get the new APG-85 Radar, meaning it will not be exported. Greek F-35s although being Block 4, will not get the APG-85. If Aselsan can pull through with MURAD 600A, Kaan's radar will be superior to Greek and Israeli F-35s in the region.

They may have changed the position of the vertical stabilizers. Because height has dropped by almost 1 meter. The vertical stabilizers on the engine humps made the Kaan very tall. Either they made the Kaan slimmer (which I doubt) or they changed the position of the vstabs to make the Kaan...

Nose area look like it got flatter, anyone confirm? They are also saying 6 more are going to be built?

Can a future ICBM be fired from the VLS on the MILDEN submarines?

They need to start working on IRBMs and ICBMs, also need to start working on nuclear weapons. Israel has a dagger pointed at Türkiye, and soon Iran will also get them.

Numbers going around saying aircraft carrier will take form by 2027, ready for the elections in 2028, anyone confirm or is it bullshit?
