CATOBAR is very expensive, the British intended first purchase of F35C and employing CATOBAR on the ships. But when it became twice as expensive as anticipated the British turned to deploy F35B and no CATOBAR on the aircraft carriers. My own opinion is that eventually we will purchase also F35B...

It doesn't matter what you and I think. For what it is worth we may think both wrong. What we know is that Temel Kotil talks about working on ANKA-4, so there is a project going on irrelevant to in what stage it is. One day is may just appear like ANKA-2 and ANKA-3 in almost finished stage.

It's more than urban legend, Temel Kotil said last year they were working on ANKA-4.

Not really, on the contrary it would be the right approax. If TAI can deliver the needs of whole the spectrum: - Kaan 5th generation multi purpose (mainly Air to air dominance) - ANKA-3 stealth bomber - ANKA-4 Loyal wingman that can keep up with the speed of Kaan It will have a giant impact on...

@Terminator in another forum has a better theory though on F110 engine with drone: Could it be that ANKA-4 needs an engine?

I imagine an upscaled bigger ANKA-3 maybe? That would be an unmanned B-21 level, it's too good to be true PS B-21 is powered by 2x 27000 lbf engines (but since it is a manned plane lot of space goes lost in the cockpit) An Anka-3 bigger version unmanned could be similar size with one 29000...

Oh it will be better if Armenia starts a war, I see only advantages for Azerbaijan (with exception of casualties of course)

Earthquake doesn't kill faulty buildings do. If a whole city is erased (Antakya), blaming the quake alone is a farse

Why? If we can afford 40 new F16, 40 new EF2000, why would we not be able to afford replacing all F16's? First replacements will be for 40 F16 blk 30, than 2 batches to replace blk 40's and again several years later the blk 50's Besides main cost of fighter jets are not the initial purchase...

Asolute, I don't see Greece to be able to let upgrade their F35's frequently. It will be a money slurping machine

You guys underestimate drones like ANKA-3 and KE. They may now not ready yet to face 5th gen. but realize that development of drones go much much faster than development of fighter jets. Within several years they can become the menace of any jet, and can become evenly stealth as those $100mln...

IMO Turkiye should stay far away from F35 as the aircraft is the total opposite of what we want: independence Even with F16 we'll stay partly dependent on the USA till the 2050ties, with F35 that will become 2080. If we want quality and quantity we need our own fighter jet not purchased ones...

The 23bln is a max value and it is good for us. example: it gives ok for 900 AIM-120 missiles. Do we order 900 missiles at once? No we probably will order in batches of 150, but 900 have already been OK'd so for the future whether we buy them or not it already passed the congress approval I...

To build new F16's we need to free up production lines, get production line setups from LM etc. etc. (not worth the investment while we are fully going for Hurjet and Kaan) The Tomtas facilities can be fully reserved for upgrades, buy 80 upgrade kits for viper upgrade and pump out Ozgur blk II...

Simply go full rate on Ozgur upgrade, Turkiye has the TAI and Tomtas facilities. Upgrade them in record time to Ozgur blk II level

Turkiye should buy more upgrade kits and cancel buying new F16's, their delivery time is just not worth it. Buy maybe some AA missiles and keep the cost at minimum

I doubt that a 140kg Bozdogan missile can be carried on the wing of TB-3. There are plans for the Sungur missile but I have not seen any plans for Bozdogan. Is it a wishful thinking?

Is a round radome not a blob on the radar?

20bln doesn't make sense Even if the 900 AA missiles cost 3mln / piece it would make less than 3bln As usual the mentioned amount is far above the real value, kind of masking the real sales
