    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I never said anything about integrating EJ-200 into the TFX. I said we can bring EJ-200 to the TFX engine deal. This will sweeten the deal for RR. EJ-200+stage 1 upgrade for the Turkish Eurofighter+new engine for the TFX a single colossal deal between the parties. In return, RR should transfer...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    I think we should get 80 second-hand Eurofighters and upgrade them with Turkish components with the help of the BAE systems(with BAE on board there won't be any risks) provided that the UK can give the necessary guarantees to support the non-Turkish components of the aircraft without problems...

    Yes. It is planned and designed as a GaN-based radar. The first GaN-based radar(STR) is already in the Turkish armed forces inventory. We are not years away from the GaN technology. It is already in use. Months of delay might happen maybe a year. CAFRAD is also designed as a GaN-based radar but...

    TBH this looks like a bargaining tactic. Erdogan is famous for his backsteps. He will get something in return probably the F-16 deal and some concessions in Syria.

    That is great. I sincerely hope Ümit Özdağ gets jailed. This will skyrocket the popularity of Ümit Özdağ and the Zafer Party. Whoever advised this to the ministry of interior must be a covert agent for Ümit Özdağ.

    I'm against the F-16V deal. Anyone who supports the deal, please don't cry when the US stops the deal because we launched an operation against YPG or conducted drilling activities in the east med. Oh and prepare to get the delivery of new F-16Vs by 2030 if everything goes smoothly. 2022 will end...

    I disagree with the argument that Turkiye couldn't find piezoelectric actuators therefore CATS had problems. The real problem with CATS comes from its design. It is not designed to have extreme targeting and stabilization needs of UAVs in mind. It is designed with a mediocre stabilization system...

    640*480 17µm microbolometer type detectors will be used for Karaok missile UMTAS and OMTAS will probably be upgraded too. New 16km range UMTAS block 2 will undoubtedly use this kind of detector. But this is not our best microbolometer type detector product. Aselsan has 1024*768 17µm and 640x480...

    I have another idea. 2 launchers one in the front and one in the back with 2x11 missiles. Both launchers should have 2x AESA radars for 180-degree coverage. This way 2x launcher can provide 360-degree coverage without the obstruction of the ship's mast and superstructure. Also rather than using...
