Last i checked the candidate was Murat Kurum

Saudi Arabia? They were almost going to get F35, I'm sure they can get a really good deal from us, because we act desperate at negotiations.

If it isn't based on scientific principles, it isn't education.

Yep as far as we know ARAT is turbojet and will power gezgin. If we want tomahawk ranges, we will probably have to go through a few iterations of this.

Hope the engine contract is finalized soon for trainer version, though we were negotiating a deal like 100-200 engines right? So that may cover lca too. Then it would be great. Also does hürjet have in air refuel capability?

The big deal with dual thrust is, if you have thrust vector nozzles like Hisar, then you can make maneuvers you couldn't really do at terminal stages otherwise or against targets that are already close which will require higher angular velocity for turns. That being said, from what I understand...

Did you think of TF33K 😄

We aren't incapable of mass producing cheap drones ets for cheap, it's the army that doesn't want to buy them

I'd think it's a typo, either 1 or 1.1, cause that's the realistic range.

It's not "needed" but a more advanced radar will be able to use its full potential

That sounds obvious, why else design a missile like that, if it can't fit only place it is supposed to 😁

Look at kaan and f15 in this and in presentation

Still not too sure, or not sure if this is to scale

I'm thinking out loud. Kaan iwb has 7 equally distant notches of sorts on sides. Now it has to be around 4 meters to fit som j or gökdoğan and if they are equally divided chances are maybe they are 2 feet apart, for a total of 14 = 4.2 meters. From there i speculate the width is around 1.8...

I think people are referring to this but, It's massive

KAAN has been altered significantly to be able to fit SOM-J. This gives it a huge internal volume. I'm pretty sure it can fit multiple HGK83 or even HGK84 if hardpoint. allows for that weight. Though we haven't seen the final version of the internal bay yet.

Speed isn't that important. B2 can't pass 0.8 mach either, so I hope they optimize the twin engine variant for maximum payload.

I mean clearly with so many dependencies it doesn't look like a great stop gap that helps with risk reduction and won't be delivered soon enough to matter, where we could make early KAAN variants to similar standards.

I mean block 70 deal is much closer, so it has less urgency.

Our problem is we have a limited budget. R&D takes money and time but so does finalizing a product and establishing production lines. If we spread the budget and work force too thin to make new prototypes, we won't have resources to focus on establishing enough serial production lines for those...
