I read that pilot training for a modern aircraft costs $10mn per pilot and considering more than one pilot costs of competing aircraft goes up and up and UCAVs look cheaper.

Is it true that a nuclear warhead's core must be put under high pressure by exploding explosives outside of it or are there other ways to trigger them, @anyone.

While it has been announced that it would be cheap its capabilities certainly deserve more money. Between TB2, Akıncı and Kızılelma I would pay 10, 22 and 25 $mn for each respectively without ammo.

It would be good if they came back with cargo.

We can launch missiles from ships laying canisters on deck at low angles.

And we are not faking it, we are making it.

You want a diversified toolset in your toolbox just in case the little extra capability can make a difference and win you a war. Having the platform already takes you 90% of the way already and you need to add a 10% to get there.

Hürkuş too, Hürjet can speed even faster.

I am talking "in some cases" when taking out the target is more neceessary than saving money.

Hürjet can speed up to 575 km/h which can make a difference in some cases whereas Akıncı can go as fast as 370 km/h. 55% faster.

No, but only to counter an initial salvo of attack. Our main insurance policy is that Israel is in our firing range.

That would be Mr. Görgün

Haluk Görgün of Aselsan: "20 CATS per month will be produced in 2023 with new generation quality". Prototypes of next gen will be tested in a few months.

You want to give it some slack to have some agility by not loading it to full capacity.

Why should it be clumsy. Centerpoint has its advantages: It is low center of gravity which inherently means better balance especially when one of the missiles is fired.

Another blow to reliance on F16 for bombing missions.

What is better than a tank is a tank and an engine. Now we are making both.

Seems like the front landing gear failed again. Failatun failatun failatun failun.

"There are three basic types of UCAVs. The first class are “expendables”, that are launched by fighter planes or bombers in the air. They are small drones, cheap to manufacture, and can carry weapons, jammers, or sensors. These little planes never return to base. The second class are called...

What is the point of commenting on an unfinished work. Baykar will work on perfecting the KE in a continuous manner. Every iteration will be a better product until it meets the requirement of the day. It only needs to be able to beat the enemy and not necessarily be far better than but only be...
