It is an average Round Trip Time latency in satellite communications and not specific to Kızılelma. 100ms RTT is for landlines I believe. I am not sure if the Uluğbey satellite constellation at 510 km altitude will have a better latency, and perhaps it will if the 2 second delay is on the 36000...

Target plane was under tracking so it won't matter if the missile is fired by a person or by the machine. The person can only know what the machine reports, once firing requirements are fed into the machine it can fire the missile itself.

Kızılelma will be re-engined in a couple of years and will probably be already supersonic with one TF10000 engine, (needs to be seen yet). A twin engine version can be more capable naturally. Coms latency is only relevant in close combat, can possibly be improved in the future.

Kızılelma will have some communication latency of 2+ seconds that creates some disadvantage in dogfights. It has a smaller payload capacity than the F16. Feel free to break down what else you think is a shortcoming.

And perhaps test every six months?

And how do we pay it back, possibly with the Çelik Kubbe, as they need something to protect themselves and they can't wait for Kaan to come online.

Minister Bayraktar "Nadir toprak elementleri alanında bu pilot tesisimizle %92 93'lere vardığımız bir yerlilik seviyesine, bir saflaştırma seviyesine geldik." At the pilot facility we have already reached 93% purification level. Now this is promising.

Too many words, please be concise.

Gezgin is meant to be a turbofan while there is no turbofan engine announced yet and Arat engine is turbojet. However while Arat is cited as a turbojet engine it is defined to be a more efficient engine which actually suggests a turbofan engine.

For how long, you would be too late to start making once you start expecting sanctions, profitability isn't everything, you need to prepare the capability. We go for an engine that can be used in all of our medium size planes which would be an Airbus 320Neo size with a 2 meter turbofan. We need...

We need an engine to make our own cargo transporter, tanker and passenger planes. We can wait until after our Kaan engine design work is complete for a focused work but we should start its design work as a side job at once. The world is going towards self sufficiency rather than codependency.

"a crazy Tesla flying car is coming"

"Magnet-free motors, innovative lighting, and advanced recycling could enable a future less dependent on critical raw materials."

"throughout the extraction process workers must take extra precautions since rare earth ores sometimes contain uranium or thorium ... "

China needs the REE they make

This is not Kızılelma!

I think they would take multiple orders for the same time period as TurAF once the urgent few fleets of TurAF are already delivered. It will depend on the urgency situation of the customers. TurAF will probably want to get newer planes as the planes mature and evolve with every production run.

Kaan is never meant to be exported before the Turkish engine is available anyway.

China sanctions ASML of Netherlands for rare earths where 3 minerals particularly mentioned in this video all occur in Türkiye.

Speaking of large scale REE refining Minister Bayraktar said "We want to break the ground in 2026 and realize the project within 2 tears". If this investment gets realized with national capabilities for the most part it will be a big deal.
