Engine difference+new wing design(improved lift force). TAI has been improving Anka continuously for over a decade now. I don't think there is much room to reduce weight.

It is a typo. I'm %100 confident that Ankas are delivered with PD-170s. You cant increase payload capacity by %40(250 to 350kg) with the same engine. PD-155 is still offered as an option though.

ANKA payload capacity is increased to 350kg after the integration of PD-170 and a new improved wing design. Improved Anka can carry 2x MAM-T and 6x MAM-L or 2x Aselsan miniature bombs and 2x MAM-L. Aselsan miniature bomb is effective against hard targets like aircraft shelters and battlefield...

Selling to third parties and making modifications on your own fighters are two different things. Özgür Mod project aims to modernize Turkish F-16 fleet selling it is a secondary objective. There is already one prototype F-16 that flies with a national mission computer. Block 30s will go under...

Turkey will replace APG-68 radar and the old mission computer with the Aselsan AESA radar and the national mission computer.

This is the biggest bullshit that I have ever heard in this forum. This is so disrespectful to the engineers and mechanics of the TAI. BTW TAI has not just experimented with arming ANKA, as you can see from the screenshot I posted ANKA-B was accepted into inventory and conducted missions before...

I don't think the French military should step in while Kamala Harris and her neo-commies are in power in Washington. Especially not before striking a deal with them or black lives matter French version might happen. And there is also another side to that debate I think some fractions of the...

BAYKAR caught lying again. Baykar announced that TB2 is the first UCAV of Turkiye from their official twitter account. In reality first UCAV of Turkiye is TAI Anka-B which fired a cirit missile in 2013 nearly a year before TB2.

3 Fırtına-2s delivered so far with MTU powerpack, 3 more will be delivered in June. A total of 140 FIrtına-2s will be delivered(250 planned, order cut down to 140 because of price creep). I expect the first Fırtına-2 with the local powerpack to appear next year. National Fırtına-2 powerpack will...

1500hp powerpack production target date is 2024. Transmission has a large British input(probably from CAT)

EU is trying real hard with non-governmental organizations :)

Not confirmed officially. The info came from a source. Overall 24 fighters will be produced for TuAF every year for ~10 years. TF-X project serial production phase will continue till the end of 2030s.

Total cost of TF-X project is expected to be between 50-60 billion $. This figure includes everything. 9 prototype +250 Fighters=25 billion. Salaries: 5 billion $ R&D and investment budget: 5 billion $ Life cycle costs: 25 billion $

60 billion $ budget includes R&D expenditures, technological and manufacturing investments(wind tunnel, lightning test center, composite factory etc), salaries of engineer and workers, prototype aircraft, price of 250 aircraft to be procured and life cycle costs of those aircrafts. Fly away...

Azerbaijan and Armenia round 3 might become reality after the Armenian elections if the winning party doesn't take steps to accept the conditions of Zengezur corridor according to cease-fire treaty.

This won't work. Such systems have altitude restrictions. They might be good to close altitudes under 15k feet on a hot summer day but if you want to go higher you need advanced de-icing systems.

No, wing area of MAM-T is slightly smaller and geometry of the bomb is not ideal(optimized for thermobaric warhead) compared to Aselsan miniature munition. If a miniature bomb and MAM-T is released by an F-16 with the same velocity @40k feet altitude miniature bomb will glide further. MAM-T...

MAM-T Range Figures 30km for UAV 200-250km/h @15-20k feet 60km for Hurkus-C 500-600km/h @ 30k feet 80km for Fighter 0.8-0.9 mach 40k feet. Given ranges are minimum guaranteed ranges at that speed and altitude. Laser designator can paint targets up to 30km and 40-45k feet altitude. Optionally...

Turkey plans to use an electromagnetic launching system in its future carrier. Experience gained from railgun projects will play a crucial role in the development of an electromagnetic launching system. An aircraft carrier is planned after 2030 so a long road ahead. Turkey wants a carrier...
