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

3 separate ramjet projects damn

Gripen is also cheap enough that say they can buy and produce a few and having a number of them won't put a financiak strain when they eventually decide to buy F35 and make up with america

Im sure TAI and other engineers are also happy with reduced pressure

Yes, once we have such an engine, even if say its performance is somewhat less than expected but above F110 levels, that product becomes a huge leverage, other nations wanting to build their fighters may gravitate towards us as well, if they won't buy Kaan. Tai may be too full to develop a...

Would have been nice before we invested so much in TF6000 but now that we have, we should try to maximize our orders of that in order to fund TEI and get a good return on that investment

EF will add significant capability to our air force. Captor - E is likely stronger than Murad just by sheer power, plus added maturity. And it will be our twin engine superiority fighter in service until Kaan is operational and produced in large numbers ( IOC of initial deliveries 2031+, serial...

I know TF10000 is going to be expensive but new engine development is more expensive. We should focus on the engine we have at hand and build more stuff on top of it instead.

Nice of them to reveal critical and classified range info with that map visual

Does it matter? A professor with phd from sorbonne was retired due to this. Recognizing and dignifying this case would give the legal process semblance of legitimacy
