Kaan's first flight prototype hasn't even flown yet and we call their serially produced aircraft LEGO? We shouldn't assume that our test campaign will go as smoothly as the theirs. It might very well not be. We are proud of our achievements but let's not denigrate others to get a moment of...

The conversation is about KTF-5500 and the new loyal wingman they're about to roll out.

I don't think they would fly the prototype engine with a prototype aircraft unless they're both pretty advanced in their development. When is the engine's first flight planned for?

what's the current state of KTF-5500? what is the platform that the engine will be tested on?

you snooze you lose. but seriously, this purchase might have a positive effect on a prospective F35 acquirement. they might not act so high and mighty anymore. price is controversial but it was stupid to structure your entire air force around a single supplier. we're fixing that finally

From flight.com.gr "According to exclusive information of flight.com.gr, derived from our reliable sources in Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Mertz gave the final approval for the sale of 20 brand new Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 5 to the Turkish Air Force. The contract also includes an option for...

A Cypriot folk song

how will they fucking handle the required bandwidth from a full-blown FCR radar, an EOTS and an IRST? these must be generating insane amount of data. have they provided any info on the communication systems of KIZILELMA yet?

is there a timeline provided for the next Hürjet's rollout?

my only beef is that it still doesn't have landing gear bay doors

for comparison, Israel is taking 100kw laser, Iron Beam, into its inventory this year.

To my recollection, i have never seen any info on TF35000's first firing or the start of a prototype building. What we were told is that some early tests will be conducted in 2026. That doesn't mean a prototype. It will be a test article for early testing before committing to a prototype. So...

it feels weird to share the words of opposition leader as a source but he says he was told at TUSAŞ that KAAN will fly with indigenous engines in 2032-2033. Give it a watch. he pretty much nailed it. some factions of CHP are pretty dumb and have an inferiority complex that runs deep when it...

a quick reminder, the engines are not the only stranglehold the US have on KAAN. the aircraft's bulkheads are made by EBM machines, provided by an american company. I'm sure our shortsightedness will cause a roadblock there too. our brilliant leaders wanted to gain independent foreign policy...

how can we order their planes, knowing they don't even bat an eye for crippling our defense industry. don't order them and incur some future revenue losses for THY. big deal! but if you're still buying their stuff, they know they can treat you like shit and will never suffer any consequences. we...

The engine embargo was to be expected. The chances of us getting them were always slim. Now that it's certain, it puts first operational units of KAAN to 7 years away, to 2032, at earliest. So it'll be a long, painful road. In the mean time, our main focus should be getting TF6k/10k off the...

can you watch this video and appreciate how stupidly difficult advanced chip manufacturing actually is? landing a man on the moon is childsplay compared to this. it's essentially black magic. and the video is only about the lithography machine, not about the fab.

it's about chip design, not production. here you can listen to it where he directly answers that question. (timestamped)
