Note that the range of the MAM-L is also improved from 8km to 15km.

Aluminum(TBH it can be found everywhere in the world) and copper(a new additional deposit recently found in Elazığ) are abundant in Turkiye. Nickel and cobalt precious metals for batteries are more than enough to satisfy our current and future needs. We are very lucky to have cobalt Tesla bought...

Nothing we don't know. It will have a maximum speed of Mach 0.9. It will have an AESA radar. It can take off from short runway carriers. MIUS will have two different engine options. It is planned to reach supersonic speed(via Al-322F).

Nope. My guesstimate is 10k feet with a 6km glide path to the target.

TB3 might be announced on 18 March.

There won't be an EF-2000 deal. This is the reason behind this news.

Yes, the UMTAS missile is on the slower side but it is intentional. It is done for the operator to assess the situation and switch targets if necessary with the 2-way datalink. The missile was advertised as an 8km missile but even in the earlier batches, it was able to hit a target 10.5km...

Prototype. The process of production will be similar to Akıncı.

Turkish mythology. Red apple represents an ideal or a goal Turkic people strive to reach but the closer you get the further it runs away so in reality you will never reach it.

It seems like 10 TB2s and 4 Akıncıs are in the production line.

ATAS=Air to Air Sungur :)

The US probably slowed the project. It is a SSB project even though it is not embargoed officially the US has other ways to slow projects.

Well, this is expected. It fills a very specific role (air portable howitzer) so the order is relatively small and MKE wants to keep the production line open for as long as possible as export orders might come from foreign countries.

1) This year. There will also be an ATAS version. 2) UMTAS/MIZRAK-U is the same product with different names. UMTAS (Uzun Menzilli TAnk Savar-long range anti-tank) is the name of the project. MIZRAK-U is the name of the missile itself. It is similar to Hellfire missile.

S-400 holds the furthest confirmed SAM kill record at 150+km. Zafer Squadron is very happy with the performance of the S-400 system. Forget S-400, Ukrainian S-300s are performing really well.

Simulators with identical cockpits can be used to keep pilots on edge and sorties of UAVs and UCAVs are magnitude cheaper than manned platforms. 1/3 of that 600 fighters will probably be UCAVs. 250 TF-X, 150 F-16, and 200 UCAVs won't be a problem.

My bullshit detector goes crazy again.

We need around 900 pilots for 600 fighters with a 1.5 pilot fighter ratio. That means we need to train 100 pilots for 9 years. It is doable.

Turkiye might profit from this war in the mid and long term. Turkiye can buy Russian oil and gas with a huge price cut. Türkiye can also aid the reconstruction efforts of Ukraine and can sell advanced military products to Ukraine. Businesses and businessmen who fled Russia can also relocate to...

S-400 is a good system.
