I suspect there's also a potential for domestic ammunition integration, and it could involve other permits or technology access we don't know about. Turkey is very tricky when it comes to negotiations. Recall our last air defense purchase, where the parties were forced to offer incredible...

I missed that part, thanks for the info. I was thinking that once the F404 engines were approved, the F110 engines would probably be sold as well. So, the project has been rescheduled without the F110 engines. Everything depends on the success of the TF35000, then.

A common statement from TAI executives and Defense Industry officials is that the first phase targets 20 KAAN (block 10) aircraft, often referred to as 2028 delivery. This alone guarantees 20. The same sources also mention production ramp-ups ("2 aircraft per month in 2029" or a rapid increase...

A prediction is already forming in my mind. Would it be too dreamy if we made a list for 2030? 20/40 Kaan 240 F16 Özgür2 40/80 EF2000 T3/4 50/70 Hürjet 50/100 Kızılelma 30/50 Anka3/4 Approx 500+ We will also have Akıncı squadrons that we can configure for air-to-air missions.

Frankly, I estimated these figures based on our expansion into Africa and Asia, considering the potential air bases we will open in countries with which we will cooperate in the future. But your statements are worth considering. However, it's also true that once at least 100 Kaan aircraft are...

While Türkiye's current economic situation is challenging, its location on energy and trade routes means it will undoubtedly have a strong economy in the future. Consequently, it must possess a powerful air force to maintain the balance of power in the region. Otherwise, we cannot even protect...

Just as important as developing such systems is their effectiveness in the field. To ensure their effectiveness in the field, the effectiveness of detection sensors in challenging weather and terrain conditions, and the thorough training provided to soldiers to use them effectively, are crucial...

Turkey should upgrade all its F-16s to the Özgür-2 level and purchase approximately 120 EF-2000s. This will not affect the number of Kaan fighter jets we will produce, because Turkey is not a country that will be satisfied with 400 or 500 aircraft. We have global projects, and to secure them, we...

Where were the Israeli special forces throughout the war? They were the only force capable of fighting against Hamas, but they chose to hide throughout the war, and Palestinian fighters found and destroyed them! They hid inside tanks, damaging civilian settlements, bombing civilians from the...

Friends, shooting down drones isn't difficult; the challenge is detecting and tracking them. There's not a single battlefield-proven system in the world, including the ones we've developed. Currently, the most practical solution is to train soldiers to intercept drones with shotguns and then...

It is truly disgusting that the most heinous massacre in human history is being committed and then portrayed as a success!

There are also studies on titanium technology used in body production, I think the desired level will be reached in the 2030/35s. Ongoing projects Project / Institution Stage Description ETI Maden – Titanium Dioxide Development Project R&D / Pilot Works on extracting TiO₂ from ilmenite ores...

The Chinese are generally open to new ideas and eager to experiment. Because they don't face financial constraints, they don't hesitate to add tanks of various designs to their inventory. In the future, they will test these tanks on the battlefield and choose the best candidate to invest in.

If Eurofighter aircraft are purchased from Qatar, F16 Özgür modernization deliveries continue, and Anka3, Hürjet, and Kızılelma aircraft enter the inventory, what might the Turkish Air Force's inventory look like in 12 months? Also will the Hürjet enter the inventory as a trainer or a light...

Boğaziçi Defense has developed a comprehensive air defense jamming system called as Ilter, offering a wide range of products in various configurations, including land and sea deployments. This is a significant capability against drones, UAVs, unmanned land vehicle and unmanned sea vehicle...

In addition to the stand-off ammunition, the fact that the Akıncıs can fire air-to-air missiles with AESA radar is, in my opinion, a huge force multiplier in the field, and with a 1-day endurance! From now on, I also agree with investing in kamikaze UAVs like Kargı.

The Sheikh Maqsoud district isn't just any district; think of it like the Çinçin neighborhood in Ankara 20 years ago. The buildings are so close together, the narrow streets akin to a gypsy neighborhood. Security forces will face both civil unrest and ambushes once they enter. Airstrikes will...

The Turkish armed forces are currently relieved to have the Korkut air defence system at their disposal, but if sufficient investment in laser technology is not made available in a timely manner, its development may slow or even cease. Therefore, developed systems must be added to the...

TUBITAK has described the product as follows: It can generate 100 kW of power if desired, presumably with a more advanced power/source/cooling system. Quote: Scalable Technology Leading the Future Thanks to its modular architecture, the IŞIK system is designed to be scalable to power levels of...

Assad once gave ballistic missiles to DEAS. DEAS, in turn, transferred these missiles to the PKK. Therefore, it is highly likely that they will use these warheads against Türkiye. We must find and destroy both the ballistic missiles and these chemical warheads.
