Still 0 operational fighters with aesa radar + lowest number of fighters in years

Would make sense if Turkey was involved in increasing the numbers, it would maybe not be possible to buy jf17 for Turkey but if Azerbaijan bought more and stationed them in here temporarily as a stopgap measure under a unified command, that would make sense.

Our current status is getting more and more embarrassing. We need to finalize at least one of F16 B70 or Eurofighter right away, without the signatures we can't even guarantee any delivery date and yet Pakistan and Algeria are getting J35 and Su57 this year

Azerbaijan's deal is partly funding the J35 deal as well I guess. A nice synergy

Our problem is indeed not that we don't have such systems, but that we don't have them deployed comprehensively

Milgem is uniquely complicated, sometimes first ship will have foreign systems that are indigenized on later ships

Yes but imagine you can leave things to autopilot during engagement

There are difficulties with canopy and launch seat design, we adhered to F35 shape to keep it simple. Redesigning would be too major for now. What we should do is give Kaan ability to fly semi autonomous so pilots cognitive load will be reduced and they can focus on mission systems rather than...

Until 2034 ( or 2-3 more years) , the chances of us buying approx 100 of each of those is not bad, and spain is buying 24 + 24? We have to sell 150-200 more and T7 is still problematic. Hurjet has luck in many markets surprisingly

Not really likely, but we should hurry up on Murad and Gökdoğan

You need for battery, dont you

Navy received ESSM Block 2? So I guess Barbaros MLU would be using them? These are currently the most advanced SAM missiles we have in operation I guess.

Need a license for energy storage, you most likely will park at night

If baykar is already making their own KE engine maybe it was wiser to prioritize 6000 for ANKA 3 instead? Baykar doesn't seem too enthusiastic about using Tf 10000 or cooperating with TEI honestly

You can't just move vertical stabilizers, you would have to move the engines, which would limit the size of iwb and middle fuselage. You can do the su57 / YF 23 layout but again that requires heavy redesign of tail and nozzles, meaning also change of engine and fuselage design. Its not simply...

Honestly worst case plan would be just make a deal with spain so they manufacture and sell jointly and we get a cut, win win, but slightly less profit vs if we did it. Im sure we can buy enough engines for our use.

F16 block 50 /70 have ram coating, but not the same kind of coating as F22 and F35

There has to be electrical continuity for the advanced ram coatings, the f16 shape is probably not suitable for that. Plus it would probably be thicker than regular ram paint, and alter flight characteristics.

Let me offer you some insight. Acquiring such potential in terms of human capital, technological and institutional capacity takes a long time and a lot of investment, planning, and you have to cut from other things, a lot has to be sacrificed. The military and technological potential of Turkey...

We could have afforded, we chose to waste money other things, we can blow 50 billion when we want.
