Dear members this is “TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects “ thread. Please stay on topic. Posts not related to this thread will be deleted.

Try to persuade Mr Cavusoglu. Not us! I am all with you on what you are saying as a matter of principle. But also remember that Russians already have a number of semi damaged/destroyed TB2s in hand. They have managed to stop TB2 operations in Karabakh for about an hour. Then it was back to...

Thinking out loudly; If the Hisar range is really for the Army and the Hisar-O RF is the only one Navy is interested in, then it is logical to increase the range of Hisar-O+ with a booster for the army. Having done that and finding what you can achieve, they may have gone on to Siper Naval! The...

It is a fact that as soon as you add or change anything on these missiles, you are altering the missile’s aerodynamic structure. So if by adding RF seeker head and a booster, they altered these so much that even the fin design had to be redone. I can add as a conjecture; Whilst at it they may...

Yes ! You are correct. Shame that the wrong piece of picture has been used in the news. Also the factory hasn’t been built yet. I have deleted the post as it contained false information. Apologies...

I-Class‘s first ship will probably use Roketsan‘s MILDAS VLS and Siper. This will be a hot launch system. EDAS, on the other hand, is a Tubitak-Sage cold launch system, and can be ready before TCG-Istanbul is operational. But as per @Anmdt ’s related posts, it will be utilised on the Ada-Class...

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/russia-turkeys-latest-drone-customer-198323 This is interesting! According to this piece of news Russians are getting ready to purchase Turkish drones.

Last time a similar question was directed at Tubitak-Sage MD , he replied that it will be ready to be operational for I-Class frigates. (TCG-Istanbul is going to be ready next year)

How about the radar to complement it in such long ranges? Where is that going to be? I am no radar expert. But if I remember correctly it is the accuracy of tracking at longer ranges that is the stumbling block on air defence missiles not the actual range a missile can achieve. So you need a...

F35 is an over ambitious plane to say the least. The program cost is the most ever for any plane ever developed in the world. Quote: The F-35 program is expected to cost taxpayers a total of $1.7 trillion across its lifecycle, according to the Pentagon’s Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation...

I would also like to see these in the inventory (Or something along these lines) : Anti ship version EW version Anti Submarine version

Just because you hava a list of some ”semi conductor” producing companies that doesn’t include a Turkish one is not proof that the GaN chips are not produced in house for Aselsan. Your list doesn’t differentiate between GaN and Silicone by the way. Here are two articles published in Turkish 5...

As the English say: “How long is a piece of string? “ There is no guarantee that US will not put the brakes on the LM2500 gas turbines. Or Germans will not pressurise MTU not to sell the Diesel engines. But to date they have not shown any inclination about extending their stealth embargoes to...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/milgem-67-ve-8inci-gemiler-icin-surec-basladi/ Bidding and consequently Production timeline for the 6th to 8th ships for the I-Class frigates has started.

When Turkey wanted to use GaN tech, a lot of components were withheld by main producers. So it was decided to produce this tech in house. Infrastructure to produce GaN products was completed in Turkey by 2014. By 2016 , Aselsan started producing GaN based transistors. It took them over 10 years...

That doesn’t help the man on the street that is living hand to mouth. His money and his wage is not protected. His buying power has already diminished. This is only helping people who have foreign currency accounts and brave enough to wish to return to TL. Minimum 3 months , tied in with no...

Let us not be too pedantic by being stuck on the “tense“ the sentence was formed. @TheInsider is correct in saying TFX to be a better plane of the two. Instead of ”is” , he should have used “will be”. But that doesn’t change the fact that the TFX is being planned to be a much more developed and...

Those headlines are enough to cause a stir!
