Yeah, if you made a single pod it would be less capable, also say one detector may be enough but you may need 3 f16s with EW pod to ouput sufficient energy to jam efc

Turns out stuff need air and water etc

Anka 3 and KE could outnumber Kaan, but for that you have to decide that you want to allocate part of budget of Kaan to those, so like instrad of 150-200 KAAN, you could make the decision to purchase 100 Kaan and 150-200 KE and Anka3 in addition to F16, EF and F35s etc. So like I'm sure we'll...

I hope the one with aesa radar is also there to test its capabilities

20 kaan with f110, murad and ability to launch Gökdoğan is already a big upgrade and an additional deterrent. If we could have those in 5 years I will be happy.

I mean we can still order it and receive it when its done cant we

France would be better off if they tried to build something like Kaan after rafale. They have all the infrastructure too. FCAS is not the optimal next step for them.

If they want they can make their own plane, sure, with all the restrictions that brings. You can't just have every partner give your all their money for you to develop it and not give them any share of work.

I think it seems rather a geopolitical concession

As strategic an asset as Kaan is, think like this, we still have F16 and F4. These are planes others have and know everything about. And are now outdated. F35 is also a plane others have and know a lot about, but if we had access to it we wouldn't have too many worries about the defense of our...

Finally a more sensible version

The weakness in intelligence of iran is just as shocking, and that is the one thing I am most afraid of. If we stupid decisions are made like that where force commanders are somehow caught in the same building for whatever reason for an attack I wonder what would happen. The ongoing rapid...

Not putting all your eggs in one basket is something, but you buy like 2 different types of jet for that, not 5. Although we are also considering F16 or F35 and Eurofighter in addition to Kaan, but our situation is we don't know if any of those would be sold to us so we pursue all possibilities...

Too many projects, Rafale, F15, Kf-21 and Kaan, are you going to buy all?

Well our deliveries take priority, if planned rate is 24 per year ( and not immediately, so it will ramp up slowly) then 3-4 years only deliveries to TurAF

Will be too many expensive jets, they are buying 40 new 5th gens, awacs and air defense form China, they seem to have realized the immediacy of their weaknesses after recent incident and won't wait for Kaan and won't have money for it any time soo. Maybe in the future

Oh let's clarify this, do you think people attacking with drones will only use one type of drone? Even small groups have 358s now, they will obviously try to defend their airspace somewhat

You are making the wrong calculation. How much does hurkus cost? How can you risk it against such a cheap drone? A jet will fly too fast and high for 358 but hurkus wont, and 358 can much likely saturate the number of cirits you can put on it, thats assuming cirit can hit such a missile head on...

Even if you say anduril is expensive, irans 358? ( already being used against aksungur, akinci etc )

Manned propeller planes are obsolete. Something like andruil roadrunner or even iran's remote controller anti air cruise missiles can take them down already.
