From DefenceTurk in 2023 via @Kaan Azman (highlights are mine) Ömer Yıldız from TAI: "We need a target aircraft that flies at high speed, at supersonic speed. We are developing a faster version of the ŞİMŞEK aircraft that you see here, especially for the need for a target aircraft that can...

Süper Şimşek, launched by ANKA 3

The US, who is prepping to wage a full-blown war against Iran for the sake of the Jewish state, would ofc not sell F35 to us. What were we thinking? We should be grateful if we got F110s for KAAN.

We are a signatory of MTCR. So we will probably, have to limit the range of the engine.

English please

He must be referring to ramjet engine tests. It was shared in 2021. https://www.defenceturk.net/tubitak-sagede-100un-uzerinde-ramjet-atesleme-testi-yapildi

the issue is that it doesn't do analysis. it uses bunch of terminology terms to feign competence and consistency. it is extremely useful in many cases but is surely not reliable. besides, without knowing your conversation history(used prompts) with it, we cannot know if the results are genuine...

it would be a silver-lining if these companies would add the local companies to their supply chain but the Chinese won't even employ the locals for their factories. They bring their ethnic Chinese workforce from China to produce the cars. And our government builds "Chinatowns" to accommodate...

the fucking CB has burned $28billions in four days. If it continued like this, I'd be surprised if we had any dollars to pay our energy imports, let alone buying any expensive fighter jets.

I wasn't looking at the fins. the black markings on the missile clearly shows it that it's in a roll.

kemankeş has laser rangefinder, not a laser illuminator. I was thinking of a hovering platform, much like Kalkan VTOL.

it needs laser illumination for terminal guidance though. aselflir 500 can point the target from 35km at maximum. we need cheap, smaller UAVs with laser designator to not risk losing tactical drones like TB2.

Sir, I watched the video again and around 0:49(slow-mo) the missile is clearly rolling clock-wise(looking from behind).

15,181 is an rpm value, not thrust. A quick googling taught me that N1 is fan speed and N2 is the speed at engine core(it's a two-spool engine). Though, I don't know enough about turbofans to make sense of these figures. My guess is that engine speed and thrust do not progress linearly...

Only 6800N? It should produce around 27k N thrust if 6000lbf is achieved. Question: why is there two different RPMs, namely N1 and N2?

Syria already had S400s, which couldn't do shit against IAF. They would casually come all the way to Aleppo to bomb the city.

I guess this is its maximum maneuverability with its legs down.

I guess it depends a bit on what Pakistan deem as good relations. Would they view it as betrayal if were to build good relations with India? What if China demanded them to do something that goes directly against our interests and threatened them with economic sanctions if they didn't comply...
