    Seems like the tweet was removed. Are they retiring TCG Yavuz? EDIT: Yes it was retired after forty years of service. So long old buddy 👋 I will always remember her with this picture on Savunma ve Havacılık (issue #3, 1987) cover.

    And yet they gave a full tour of the assembly hall to Istanbul Chamber of Commerce members! Why would they do that 😅 This show off or propaganda or whatever they call it, is getting ridiculous by the day. It must be stopped.

    By the Looks of it, more like a concept 1/1 size model of a mini ucav. The pivotal motors (up and forward movement) and being more than one makes me think it’s a swarm concept ucav. But then again, I’m not a great source to quote.

    Yaşar Abi, Quasar it’s hard to dismiss your well defined, clear point but it’s also worth remembering that Turkey‘s got herself into a geopolitical game in the region thru bi-lateral relationships with almost every nation on the map. In this particular case, it’s Sudanese Armed Forces is backed...

    To be fair, Kaan will even hardly hit to 5th gen with F110 design parameters (which we all are aware of, btw) and that’s ok as long as it would have served intended interim role as a 4+ gen until TF35000 would have matured. But 6th gen (including motor) is a new ball game. Its only legit asking...

    No takers I guess. The engine is a radial engine alright but not the original FW 190 engine, the magnificent BMW 801! No wonder they’re whitewashing the ceiling of world heritage Selimiye Mosque. We suck at restoring stuff 😡
