Could the Kaan carry a missile similar to ASM-3 inside weapons bays? Weapons bay of Kaan is not like F-22 or F-35, more like SU-57 with the weapon bays between the engines. Allowing for longer length missiles/bombs. Could it carry a 6 metre ramjet missile in stealth configuration?

I would much prefer F-35 over Eurofighter, F-35 can easily counter Rafale. But the likelihood of us getting F-35 is slim. Israeli lobby wouldn’t allow it. The reason they are getting eurofighter is for diversification of fighters and access to meteor missile.

This was the image circulating, they called it Anka 4, and said it will fly alongside Kaan. I can't find the infographic maybe somebody can.

I read somewhere that TAI plans to develop a manned stealth bomber like the B-21? Using the TF-35000. They say after Anka 3. Or is this incorrect?

Germany can't wipe its own ass, you think they're going to send hundreds of MTU engines and renk transmissions in the midst of all this?

Baykar should be careful with technology transfer, accessing EU market doesn’t mean shit if we breed future competitors. Italy could transfer the tech through eurodrone program and you have 10 future competitors.

Turkish-made MİLGEM warships may enter the navies of European countries such as Ireland and Portugal. Also corvettes and light frigates to the Bulgarian and Romanian navies. -Kozan Selcuk Erkan/Al Monitor

https://www.amyna.news/greek-news/christophe-gomart-warns-european-f-35s-at-risk-of-us-control/ Good thing we got Kaan going, that yellow haired monkey can scratch my balls. Maybe some countries will cancel F-35 purchases.

In the future they should focus on buying more A400m as it can do both tactical and strategic airlift. And eventually completely replace C130s. Less parts, less maintenance training and less dependency on USA.

I bet good money it will happen before 2035. I also bet China will win. The barges with extendable ramps will be a game-changer. Before they could accurately prepare because all landing sites were well-known by Taiwan. Now China will keep them guessing. A good indicator will be when China...

Maybe a deal can be made with China to buy EM catapult or tech transfer. Going from STOBAR to CATOBAR will be expensive, they should’ve gone straight to CATOBAR.

How many Kaan’s could this carry? I remember them saying a total of 50 aircraft.

What is the operational purpose of fitting heavy drones with A2A missiles? Do they want these drones to lead, find, and track enemy air assets? Without risking an expensive manned platform (like a fighter jet)?

3 Runways. 2 Takeoff and 1 landing. In CATOBAR version could it become 3 takeoff, 1 landing?

Just end the discussion, at this point, unless we regain industrial participation there is no point giving billions to USA by buying F-35. Go invest that money on Kaan. Create jobs and factories in Turkiye. Nonetheless, this is the biggest own goal in recent Turkish geopolitics.

All that hocus pocus about the S-400 and F-35 stealth being compromised. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/14/india-to-receive-billions-in-us-weapons-including-f-35-stealth-jets-trump

One Akinci approx = $50 million One TB-3 approx = $5 million $1.8 billion for Akinci $1.2 billion for TB-3 Total $3 billion

They will mostly likely acquire 20 T3 Eurofighters from RAF or Qatar + 20 new built T4
