The target of delivering first MMU KAANs to TAF in 2028 is based on statements by senior officials or agency officials responsible for the program. So it is not based on the assumptions of defense aviation enthusiasts. Whether this target can be realized or not is a matter of debate, but almost...

The maiden flight schedules of the Hürjet and Anka-3 were also slightly delayed. There were other examples also, both on the unmanned and manned aviation side. My understanding is that the political will has always pressuring TAI, especially in terms of the timetable. The KAAN program is a...

There was no problem when the Germans were directly involved in Turkish politics for decades, both through intelligence and foundations, when they were the incubator and indoctrination center for many left-wing radicals, including those involved in assassinations and terrorist activities, when...

Climate activists are completely out of their minds and, contrary to popular belief, are funded by very powerful foundations. At a UN workshop recently, one of them said that agricultural and animal consumption is an ecocide. lol Farmer activists are generally people after their livelihoods...

At least 3 US soldiers killed and at least 24 wounded in attack on CENTCOM base on Jordan-Syria border. US media outlets started to report as breaking news. What I feel is that the ground is being prepared for Israel's declaration of war on Lebanon.

This time I think it's farmer activists. You know, European farmers are now trying to make their voices heard with big actions. Tough times.

The activists finally managed to attack the Mona Lisa. I think the symbolic significance of the Mona Lisa transcends the other attacks. My recommendation for the Louvre museum is to respond with the Mona Rıza painting.

By the way, the Greek cost of 40 F-35s is not 9 billion dollars, but at least 40 billion dollars over life cycle. This 40B does not include infrastructure, ground service equipment, documentation and training. The ceiling-price written to the Congress was found high by all of us. but when making...

The current Greenville's Viper production capacity for 2024 is 1.6 aircraft per month. From next year onwards, 4 aircraft per month, 48 per year. Current block-70 order book: Bahrain 16, Morocco 24, Taiwan 66, Bulgaria 16, Slovakia 14, Jordan 12, Turkiye 40. Total 188 jets. If we will be in the...

In a statement released by the governor's office, it was announced that the Gabar Mountain region on the borders of the Central and Güçlükonak districts was declared a 'Temporary Special Security Zone' between December 27 and January 10. The following statements were made in the statement...

Defense Turkey Editor Saffet Uyanık has mentioned an important detail: TMLA is not yet in the inventory of any country.

In the meantime, Greece is in a position where it has to granted even simple 90-ton patrol boats from the US. The state of Greek shipbuilding is very exemplary. They have lost almost all capacity. Our naval industry opened the gap at the right time. I mean you can't balance it by outsourcing...

Of course... Since the T4 is more Germanish, I wanted to make a safe guess. Also, which fleet it will go to will also be an important detail.

As Cabatli üstad says, there is a sense that the US has decided to maintain a balance. If we can declare full operational capability in the KAAN program by 2033-35 range. They could have given the green light to Greece's request earlier and been among the lots that would have enabled delivery...

Btw, I expect an announcement on EF acquisition very soon. By 2030, my expectation for the general outlook of combatant fleets: 119 F-16-V 156 F-16-Özgür programs (inc blok-50s) 40 EF-T3 First active fleet of Kaan B-1 (14/20)

Just a few months ago, ASELSAN and TAI signed agreements for the modernization of F-16s with a contract value of around USD 2 billion. So there is a contract in place and a program already underway, and the first jets will be delivered this year. With this agreement with the US, the entire fleet...

I think the most right thing in this contract is the number of missiles. In fact, especially the anti-radiation missiles should have been more...

Texas movements are a hot topic these days due to the stupid policies of the federal government, which the Republicans are using to their advantage very successfully with political correctness. Today Ted Cruz's open threat to Biden with the Texas flag is being greeted with enthusiasm by...

Tactical UAVs have brought many innovations to the battlefield, but I think they are also a modern interpretation of one of the oldest warfare tactics. One of the most striking tactics in this regard in recent years was the liberation of Karabakh by the glorious Azerbaijani army, where AN-2s...

I would bet that the radar analysis of a composite structure with a wing cross-sectional area of less than 60-80 cm cannot be analyzed as if it were a fighter jet. I also believe that the electro-optical detection of an object with a sub-meter cross-sectional lenght on airframe and much less on...
