If we had given it a codename which we still haven't at least that would have stayed. Like T-23 etc. The name is also free, wonder if Germany would sue for Junkers T23 name in 1920. At least it would be then T-23S Saeta 2, and T-23A etc would be Hürjet, Like F35I is named Adir

Solid delivery plan. The new production ones will take a long time, but Qatari fighters could arrive as soon as next year and 2028 for Aesa modernized Omani fighters, that's pretty good. If we get 24 by 2029, further deliveries of the remaining 20 year by year is Ok

Do they realize bulk of cost come from the systems and the boat is a fraction of the cost? A frigate with Burke payload is gonna cost like 80-90% of Burke

What about İstif class 🤭

That's stronger than russian air force

It's more of an issue of when, not if. Anyone expect delivery of a naval gökbey before 2030?

2 batteries of siper a year is a lot and probably unrealistic even

F35 sensors collect so much data, I'd be careful flying them anywhere within our borders. They could use a specific non critical base location of their own and have their dedicated flight paths for not collecting data about rest of our systems honestly. That's one of the issues with that...

Why decoy drones? Can we make A2A jet drones that just chase and collide like a modified süper Şimşek? Maybe a final stage booster against faster aircraft. Better than pure decoy

Kind of pointless, F18 has a good radar, but it can also carry very long range missiles. The uav needs to have its own radar and be able to engage itself, this is the only way to really extend the engagement distance for the F18, otherwise you are limited by the F18 radar like before and drone...

Kaan will be a contemporary, current generation fighter. No need to sweat terminology that much. F16 is last gen.

Seeker is more important here, at such long ranges you need a large aesa seeker and that is likely to take longer, don't know if there is commonality for ongoing seeker development for Gökhan

And the burke successor is heavier than ticonderoga. They seriously should have bought frems as is

Line of sight should be more feasible

Our need for ships is critical but sale of these are more strategic then our need for such light ships honestly, vs istif. I get people who criticize attempted sale of istif and agree, but disagree with criticism of hisar sale

Few corrections. That pesa radar is also multi transmit receive so it's a relatively modern pesa. The two x bands are there to close that gap literally. The modernization adds extra atmaca launchers 12 or 16 total. Essm block 2 have been delivered quietly recently.

There is likely no such immediate kill switch but it's also not necessary to install one because if you are cut off from global network and logistics of it the thing will only fly for a few months

TRmotor is owned fully be TAI now so the distinction doesn't even really matter

Perfect for weekend Mangal
