We are not an urgent threat like Iran, but we are next in line; that much is certain. So why not? This is a low-stakes bet for Israel. I don't expect a direct strike on Turkish land because Turkiye is a NATO country but If Israel attacks Turkish bases in Syria or say Somalia everyone will turn a...

Long-range cruise, ballistic missiles, and UAVs. A shit ton of them. Also, Hezbollah and Iranian proxies need to create a diversion with short-range UAVs and rockets. Israel masses its air force in several big airbases. Replacing fighters and air force infrastructure is not easy, especially when...

Iran needs to reduce Israeli air capability; otherwise, this won't end well for them.

There is no backing down now. It is reported that the chief of staff of IRIAF is likely dead.

As I said before, sensors of Kaan will be ready in time for the second prototype of Kaan. Murad-600, Toygun, Karat, IVDL and Tulgar will be integrated on the Kaan prototype in 2026. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/kaanin-radari-aselsan-murad-600de-son-durum/

Kaan is the main target for Indonesia, but they want to reduce the risks associated with the Kaan project, which is why they wanted Kaan with a national engine. BTW, T+0 of the project will start with the flight of the second prototype. The first delivery in the 84th month and the final delivery...

Tolga Özbek reported a timeline similar to mine. What I heard is that TAI will deliver the first fighter in the 84th month and will deliver all 48 fighters before the 120th month (48 fighter in 36 months, TAI wants to complete deliveries ahead of schedule before the 120th month) . Indonesia...

Holy crap that is so different from what i heard.

This is not news. TAI wants to do the first flight of the first second prototype just before 2025 ends in a similar fashion to the first prototype(they still can), but a more realistic date is January to March. This has always been the case. December to January is 1 month, December to March is...

All 48 Indonesian Kaans will be delivered in 120 months (June 2035) . Indonesia also has an option for +12 fighters. TAI plans to deliver the last fighter in 2034 before the official deadline. All Indonesian fighters will have a national turbofan engine and all the fighters will have block 30...

It is operated at %80 of the thrust most of the cruise phase to sustain the cruise speed. Only acceleration and final terminal approach uses the full 3200 N thrust. At %80 thrust fuel consumption value is different. I might be wrong on 271 kg due to it being hearsay(i heard from someone in the...

KTJ 3200 has a service life of 17 hours and consumes roughly 271 kg of fuel per hour at max thrust. SOM uses JP-10 fuel with a density of 0.94 g/cm^3. 271 kg of JP-10 fuel needs a volume of 288 liters. This is a problem as SOM is 4 meters long and you need something like 200cm x 40cm x 38cm...

The best part of this test is the hot stage separation. 200km altitude is trivial.

It is not just the engine. There is extensive nationalization of components.

I hope the Azerbaijan deal includes Turkish weapons and subsystems.

YIHA-III is an extremely cheap drone. It is basically a pipe with wings, and it has the cheapest pipe, wing, and propeller you can get. I wouldn't be surprised if unit price is something like 5k USD.

Arca should have invested a lot more in R&D. No advanced explosive production, no fuze production, no new product development. They are just producing vanilla products. Assan invests heavily in advanced capabilities and develops new projects. ASSAN Group continues to fill explosive materials...

Someone is really concerned about Assan improving in a lightning fast pace. After Assan acquired Dynaflow, Assan can now produce both the bomb, filling (RDX, HMX, TNT, PBXN, composite explosives), and fuze. A direct threat to MKE and another newly found company Arca. Arca has serious influence...

Who cares what the Indian press says? They are the least reliable source of information.
