And I doubt US would deny export license of F404 to spain. Heck, if we established a production centre there and spain imported engines as an intermediary in the worst case scenario, that would work too

Yeah SSBN would be like TF2000 of milden, where first ones are like ADA class

Idea is they can be transported by cargo ships or cargo planes so you could deploy them anywhere and defend the shores of a remote region. And I think we need them even more in aegean.

You mean Lausanne?

Part of it is F35 delays that were supposed to replace older aircraft. We weren't meant to buy more F16s in initial plan

There are some minority schools allowed for some on duty by international agreements, say children of embassy workers and what not

I mean we are going for every possible thing, Özgür + Eurofighter + Block 70 + KAAN and if they give F35 we would take that as well, like, not either or, but all of them.

Honestly they should have tried to go for a 5th gen as baseline. Like KAAN. Halting tempest will not just kill the future of their military aviation industry, it will also kill the future of their defence policy and any potential "relative" independence from US for defence and international...

Yeah the trend seems to be that everyone is trying to bolster the number and readiness of existing equipment and delay long term commitments. Same is the case of NGAD and F/A - XX. Could be a bit of fear mongering from US to say hey we have F35 buy that quickly you won't have 6th gen in time...

Selling you your own gold

Yeah there's TF6000 but also the engine Baykar is developing as some derivative of the current one

Yeah wasn't there a video of it years ago? Animation of various uav carrying and launching Çakır, including KE from internal bays? Çakır without booster would fit an IWB where a jdam would fit at least

Actually it seems like a weird, remote controlled anti air cruise missile optimized for slow uavs

Iranian SAM

Istanbul airport is a terrible experience for anyone who has actually used it.

Well as you saw hürjet prototype is doing whatever it wants at such early stage, i'd imagine they could do a sort of lrip of the prototype before tests are done

Well it could be a pre acceptance

I think bypass ratio is a consideration for endurance, that doesn't necessarily mean giving up power.

TF6000 is fatter, it has significantly higher bypass ratio than F404. So F404 has probably a much larger core and it I think uses twice as much fuel as TF6000

The only real maneuver they have is change biden and not for harris
