The reason why I am surprised by the 30mm cannon integration target is not issues such as CAS or anti UAV. Let's take a longer perspective: A twin-engined KE variant with afterburners may promise capabilities in terms of air combat manoeuvring that exceed those of current fighter jets. Within...

A very valuable interview. Rather than the May 1 surprise, what pleases me the most is that one of the most authoritative people in the project emphasised that Super Lightning(yeni Şimşek), MMU and ANKA-3 are parts of the same programme with a holistic approach. The other issue is that probably...

30mm cannon on KE? Guys, this is a big, big deal!

I think this KAGEM will be a family of ammunition consisting of several types. Maybe even a model without a warhead. I mean it will be in the ultra-light group, but there may be two different main body, for example as 30kg and 45kg. I think that this type of ammunition will be a very valuable...

Technically, TB-2 can carry 4 of this type of ammunition. In fact, let's expand the example as follows, 3 TB-2s can carry 4 KAGEM, 4 MAM-L and last one with electronic warfare pod in the same area. The level of capability being achieved with UCAVs in the tactical class is really moving towards a...

Probably the MAM-L warhead will be used in it. Users are more than satisfied with this little beast. I estimate that the targeted cost for BAYKAR's loitering ammunition is around $20,000 maximum. One of the most decisive criteria in this class is low cost and low weight.

Housing sales to foreigners in Istanbul have been in the 5-10% range for a long time. However, the main reason for the increase in house values in the last two years is that the public has been deliberately pushed by the state to buy property and real estate in order to prevent their assets from...

It's not a field I know much about, but with amateur eyes, the X-47's front section radar optimization seems to be better. I think there will be some minor changes in the silhouette of the aircraft until the ANKA-3 is ready for service. However, in general, an unmanned flying wing that is so...

Erdogan's joint broadcast for tomorrow cancelled. He will also not attend the opening of the Akkuyu first reactor. Some sources state that official programmes have been postponed for the time being. With the elections just around the corner, there are various speculations about Erdoğan's state...

Yes, this illustration. As I know, Cabatli and Combat Master üstads have a complete series of these images in their archive. There was also a road map vision document from 10 years ago. I reviewed that document last month, and I realised that, surprisingly, TAI in line with this roadmap, and...

True 6th gen fighter aircraft. I can't look at the document right now, but if memory serves, the next step is jets with agile, more-stealth and swarm autonomy.

Another noteworthy feature of the nose cone is its multi-surface design with sharp corner angles as well as being completely free of FLIR. This may indicate that the aircraft has been subjected to front-section radar optimisation studies. What you think you are seeing radar may be a small...

In my opinion, the three main reasons for the ugly design are the improvements in survivability over the first ATAK-II design, the significant increase in the room for embedded avionics, especially since it will be the main attack helicopter of the navy. It is a much more armoured helicopter...

We can also understand that the T-925, which will use the same engine and transmission, will be a helicopter well over 10 tonnes.
