But are they going so well that they will be delivered by 2028? Because it was said previously that, first few blocks will be delivered with F110, and then there is this news confirming contract for 40 F110s, and Temel Kotil saying some planes will be delivered with "local" engines as stated in...

So that's what Temel Kotil meant when some of TFX will be delivered with "yerli" engines in 2028, as in locally produced F110

You can have multiple carriers in one group, however.

I remember hearing it was cancelled as it was not feasible short term

Why would a rich country with access to purchase such systems with ease feel the urgency to develop its own?

At least TF6000 is starting to materialize. It is not too far from global hawks engine.

After trying to play with F16C Block 50 in DCS, even the cockpit upgrade seems a lot. So many buttons and displays should make pilots life difficult. The streamlined design is nice. :)

Probably not in large quantities quickly yet I think, also Block 70 has new computers and software, might not be possible to integrate our munitions to them at all.

Everyone is allowed to have opinions but having a good / valid opinion based on facts and actual knowledge is an entirely different matter. You don't get to claim your opinion matters without a bit of due diligence

What is the longest range munition TB3 could carry? I think it's fair to say TB2's offensive capabilities became less relevant as war in Ukraine goes on, and the ISR capabilities are more relevant. If it could also fire some of the larger kuzgun variants that would be actually useful for navy...

Which country with a carrier that we would sell TB3 to won't be able to buy Mojave?

I mean it starts with a vision. 4th gen had a vision about agility, 5th gen had the idea of stealth. I feel like EU just went we wanna make a 6th gen fighter and one up US in aviation yet didn't have a clear vision. But they couldn't agree with each other because multiple large companies like...

Correct me if i’m wrong but , since F16 Özgür planes aren’t delivered and are still ongoing development with prototypes, and radars I think depend on the mission computer to function, wouldn’t it be easier to test it with a system software and computers of which are ours, and with a system...

It's been this way for a while, İsmail Demir is always being more careful and Temel Kotil being more ambitious with statements and dates.

Looks like Northrop Grumman designs, hopefully it reduces heat signature significantly

And sister ship TCG İnönü? :)

Don't like the excessive name talk but TF-1 İstiklal / Independence is probably the most fitting name, especially once domestic engines are made.

Won't several layers of RAM paint make the parts bigger, therefore possibly filling some of the gaps?

Significantly more expensive, significantly smaller fuel tanks and lower range, smaller weapon bays that can't carry some of the munitions F35A can. Don't know if it is even compatible with air force style refuel system as opposed to the ones used by US Navy and EU.

Isn't that counter intuitive? I'd imagine a proper stealth air to air fighter would require more sophistication and TAI would have more experience on that subject, whereas Baykar would probably make a more cost effective multi purpose drone against weaker targets. So like a drone to fight...
