The thing flies at a maximum speed of 300-400 km/h and has no stealth properties whatsoever, so you could fly towards the enemy aircraft unnoticed and shoot it with a BVRAAM. By the time this opportunity arises for some inexplicable reason, the drone has already been shot down. What would be...

Turkey must possess nuclear weapons as soon as possible, the possession of nuclear weapons is also a life insurance that no country in the world will attack the country again. If Russia, China and North Korea did not have nuclear weapons, they would have been attacked by the West long ago. The...

It makes sense, of course, at least from the government's point of view; they will of course get a lot of PR, advertising and national pride out of it. If the plane makes its first flight shortly before the elections, with a big event, to influence the electorate for the upcoming elections, it's...

But that's pointless, the coup was already over. All the pilots, generals, admirals and soldiers were kicked out, arrested or fled. Not to mention that the security precautions for the use of F-16 aircraft were certainly tightened considerably afterwards. Each of these Turkish F-16 aircraft has...

Again, who do we have to defend ourselves from in the next 5-10 years that it would have been necessary to act immediately? We could easily have waited until 2030. We have shot ourselves in the foot, let's hypothetically assume that the S-400 would never have been bought. Just from the...

I don't know, there was nothing big, and honestly the S-400 is not that cool that it would have stopped anything big here, or thwarted any plans of any country or government. The S-400 is only good if you really have a very decent radar network and connect it to a chain of other air defense...

I always wondered why the S-400 was bought 4-5 years ago? It's still more or less mothballed and has an inactive status. The Hisar/Siper project has been going on for quite a while, surely the defense contractors have informed the government when the individual systems will be ready. We haven't...

That would be 3.7 KN thrust for an 800 - 900 kg cruise missile. I wonder if 1100 km/h would be possible, just below the sound barrier (1200 km/h). For comparison, the Harpoon cruise missile weighs just under 700 kg and the engine has about 2.9 KN at 864 km/h. There is probably little...

Gezgin?

Somehow I have the feeling that the government, the Turkish armed forces and especially the defense industry are giving away too much information in their Interviews, X-channels, Press Conferece, Presentations. The current projects and what technology and technical knowledge they have. I know...

silly question: Why doesn't BVRAAM use a hybrid seeker that can switch on both radar and infrared as soon as it is in sight? Basically a dual bearing running parallel against the enemy aircraft. Doesn't that make much more sense? With a hybrid BVR infrared/radar seeker, electronic jamming and...

@Huelague But that was due to the arrogance and stupidity of the Americans, who thought they were infallible. Nevertheless, their drones are first class. Only an idiot would deny that. If they were junk, Iran wouldn't have done everything they could to replicate them. But they haven't had much...

Once again, this is not about downplaying the achievements of our own country. Turkey has achieved a great deal in a very short space of time; in principle, we have bridged 10-20 years of development. But if there is one thing that characterizes the Chinese, it is that they are not stupid. They...

You can assume that these two drones will have more to offer than Anka 3 itself in its final design. The US has been developing stealth technology for 40 years even their first stealth bomber F-117 Nighthawk is a program from the 70's project HAVE BLUE. The Chinese have been spying for 30 years...

So is the Chinese and even the US stealth drone Grumman X47B is not beyond the test phase, they are simply much more technologically advanced than we are. This is nothing to be ashamed of - both countries are much further ahead than we are in stealth technology.

I don't believe it either, despite all the honor and respect that our country has made out of nothing. Nevertheless, we should remain realistic. The Anka 3 drone will be inferior to the American and Chinese stealth drones in all respects. Of the top 5 in the world, we are currently no. 4 or 5...

TAI KAAN as a 5+ generation fighter would have to have an engine of at least 18000 lbf to remain competitive, in principle 80 kn dry and 36000 lbf 160 kn with an afterburner. I don't know whether our engineers will be able to achieve this so easily in 6-8 years - that's a lot. Is the TEI TF 6000...

As the previous speaker said, since TAI is state-owned. The focus is not the export, but the focus is the development of weapon systems that Turkey needs to be able to defend itself. If you like, you can even say that TAI is developing a reference platform for everyone, so that companies have...

Why are the PKK positions not completely destroyed? The drones monitor the entire region 24 hours a day. There must be enough reconnaissance with night vision and thermal vision to identify these targets by now. These fucking people can't just sit in the cave for 24 hours...

Korean aircraft contain many US components, from the engine to the AESA radar, etc. Here South Korea would get an export ban from the USA. Either we then develop a much smaller KAAN, e.g. KAAN S from 2028/29, with a Delta Canard design and with a single jet. Or we take a Russian fighter jet...
