There is no FCAS and there is also no French ACE.

Yes, I have. It doesn't matter what project owners declare; I have eyes and I can see clearly. Those fighters you mentioned don't have adaptive cycle engines; their geometry doesn't support wide-spectrum stealth. These two can't be added later on. Currently, only China and the US are developing...

Tempest and FCAS are not 6th gen. Russia should develop a proper 5th gen first.

Only the US and China will have real 6th gens. Other projects are more like 5.5th gen that can be achieved with KAAN project.

This guy is cooking Koreans over their remarks on Kaan project. He is listing major outsourced subsystems of KF-21. https://x.com/T_Nblty KF-21 looks worse than I first anticipated. They are not selling this aircraft to anyone the US doesn't want.

For Turkiye, Thorium molten salt reactors is a more realistic target than fusion reactors. Fusion research is insanely expensive and to this day no fusion power plant produces more electricity than it consumes. There are a few reactors that managed to slight net positive energy if we exclude...

Yes.

Nothing is surprising here. Erdoğan will sell Cyprus overnight if it means he can stay in power.

BMC could have produced the Batu powerpack faster, but the transmission part was delayed around nine months, so it slipped to Q4 2026/Q1 2027. Currently, endurance tests are continuing on the BATU prototype. Being serial production-ready is one thing, and actually getting the product with the...

Eurofighter is not just an interim solution, as many suggested. It will replace F-4s. F-35s were supposed to replace F-4s and form a high-low mix with Kaan; now Eurofighters will do that. The second-hand part of the Eurofighter deal is an interim solution. By the mid 2030s, Kaan will be an...

Here we go, Türkiye will buy 44 Eurofighters. 20 T4 from the UK , 12 T3 from Qatar, and 12 T3 from Oman. There is also an option for another 20 Eurofighter T5. Total cost is up to 10+ billion $ if all options are exercised. Typhoons from Qatar will be delivered immediately. Omani Eurofighters...

Ülkü ocakları= Mafia thugs.

There is too much speculation regarding this issue. There are a ton of numbers and scenarios.

Currently, Baykar is considering its options on twin engine Kızılelma. Baykar might shelve twin engine Kızılelma in favor of a single 20000 lbf class( ~12000lbf dry, ~20000lbf wet thrust) engine. That is why they are willing to develop a 20000 lbs engine. Baykar is aiming for 10000-12000kg MTOW...

That news is spot on. The target is to upgrade all block 30-40-50 F-16s till the end of 2030. This includes weapons like Gökhan/Gökbora, air-launched gezgin, self-protection suite, and EW/Targeting pod integration. Basically, Özgür 2+ configuration.

The foundation is based on that, but it is a new product developed exclusively for Kızılelma.

Turkiye wants to buy 24 Tranche 3A aircraft from Qatar and 16-24 new Tranche 4 from the UK. There is simply not enough money to buy brand new 40 Eurofighters.

Aselsan will provide RAM materials for Kızılelma. Everything is ready on that front.
