Gripen is also cheap enough that say they can buy and produce a few and having a number of them won't put a financiak strain when they eventually decide to buy F35 and make up with america

Im sure TAI and other engineers are also happy with reduced pressure

Yes, once we have such an engine, even if say its performance is somewhat less than expected but above F110 levels, that product becomes a huge leverage, other nations wanting to build their fighters may gravitate towards us as well, if they won't buy Kaan. Tai may be too full to develop a...

Would have been nice before we invested so much in TF6000 but now that we have, we should try to maximize our orders of that in order to fund TEI and get a good return on that investment

EF will add significant capability to our air force. Captor - E is likely stronger than Murad just by sheer power, plus added maturity. And it will be our twin engine superiority fighter in service until Kaan is operational and produced in large numbers ( IOC of initial deliveries 2031+, serial...

I know TF10000 is going to be expensive but new engine development is more expensive. We should focus on the engine we have at hand and build more stuff on top of it instead.

Nice of them to reveal critical and classified range info with that map visual

Does it matter? A professor with phd from sorbonne was retired due to this. Recognizing and dignifying this case would give the legal process semblance of legitimacy

That's weird, why now? They don't really need the planes if jf17s are arriving and what do they need to appease russia for currently? That many planes would make Azerbaijan disproportionately powerful for such a small population and economy, it would be costly to maintain with a gdp of 75 billion

They should seriously close BMC and give its assets to FNSS or Otokar

Yes, I'm almost certain our agreement with russia has terms that prevent us from getting rid of s400, some other kind of leverage. I mean it was bought to protect president from turkish F16's in another coup attemp anyways, but they aren't being used so whats their purpose now?

I've heard 10 engines. So that's only good for 4 operational planes and one set of spares if we remove and reuse engine from p0 etc. No engines until caatsa is gone and s400 is gone, which likely isn't happening because Russia doesn't allow us to get rid of it

It's pointless to follow defense news when there is nothing left, no constitution or laws. We surrendered secularism, now we are surrendering entire democracy. Whose army will it be from now on

Canards have multiple benefits. One of its simple benefits is contributing to lift, because in classic tail stabilizer configuration, the stabilizers push down alongisde center of gravity to counteract center of lift that is behind the center of gravity. In delta canard, canards and wings push...

Well 32 VLS + 2-3 ciws should be enough for self protection. TF2000 needs that many VLS because that is its main armament. MUGEM's main armament is jet drones. You won't launch gezgin from it unlike destroyers. And it will likely stay farther away from threats.

Mugem is not a priority but there is no reason to cancel it either. With çafrad, vls and KE / ANKA 3 it's a different capability. Do not think of it as equal of US /UK / FR / China carriers, it's its own thing

Fetö investigation to Gürcan Okumuş and Assan, kayyum appointed to 10 Assan companies. https://www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/turkiye/eski-mke-baskani-ismet-sayhan-tutuklanmisti-assan-a-ait-10-sirkete-kayyum-atandi-2429977

Is this the 2nd or 3rd delivery of siper now?

I'm sure part of decision they realized KE can't take off from Anadolu so they want a ship that can field it. It will be a Kızılelma carrier first and foremost

We don't have that kind of money. We can do a limited drone carrier and have minor benefits for a smaller sum. Even 20 kaan on a ship is 2 billion $ by itself (not to mention the cost of navalizing kaan for only 20 of them probably on ship at best) The cost of a carrier and the fleet to protect...
