    After 54 years from the first introduction of the Soviets, we managed to redevelop A PKM that is heavier than the original one. (7.5kg vs 8kg)

    No, as far as I know. I expect Hurjet to go for a single F414 for the naval version. This will provide a respectable %18 thrust increase. 13000lbs dry thrust instead of 11000lbs.

    I am familiar with all the points you made, and I read the bi-directional flying wing paper when it was released. However, I keep hearing that Anka 3 will go supersonic, and TUSAS is working on something. If you look at ANKA-3, it is not a conventional flying wing design. It is a delta wing...

    Anka-3 is seen as both a military asset and a testing platform for cracking new technologies (stealth, sensor positioning, flying wing stability). Maybe TUSAS will add wing tip control surfaces, maybe TUSAS will use active controlling with targeted jets on control surfaces, or maybe 2D,3D...

    True. I said this in the past, and I can confirm that. There will be ~240 KAANs, some F-16s, Eurofighters, and Hurjets.

    As far as I know, the real Anka-4 is on the back burner. There is a bigger supersonic version of Anka-3 on the pipeline, but not on the short term.

    Wartime mods of those radars are tested and well known. Qatar-Turkiye has a joint squadron in Qatar. Pilots and technicians who work in that squadron plan and fly the missions together. This is not training together; it is forming a joint squadron. Turkish F-16s also trained extensively with...

    I believe this is a psyops and negotiation tactic. First, he will demand a lot of things later; he will give up the most ridiculous ones to push others. Every item in this so-called wishlist is treason.

    Murad-100A AESA performs better than expected. Seasoned F-16 pilots couldn't hide their astonishment after seeing what the radar can do.

    Yes, but there is significant pressure from the government, and I think delivering two batteries is possible. Aselsan is trying to increase production to 1 battery per quarter.

    100 vehicle delivery will include all layers of the steel dome including EW systems, so I don't expect more than 2 batteries of siper and 4 batteries of Hisar.

    I agree i think wingman needs its own sensors. There should be IRST and passive RF sensors at the least. Radar and jammer adds another layer of capability distributing active sensors. Wingman can get closer and jam enemy aircraft better as jamming is more successfull when the jammer is closer to...

    There are ramjet PhD research that goes back 15-20 years in time. Similar story with UAV. There were TUSAS UAV studies 25 years ago. It gave birth to Turkish UAV roadmap and the rest is history. A similar thing has been happening with turbine engines and will happen with combined cycle engines...
