It is best to shake GE off going forward.

You don't need to look back to realized examples, you need to look at what is possible. The fact that there is not a precedence means absolutely nothing. There will be an opportune moment in the future when sacrificing reliability to the immediate gains to be made will be reasonable then the sky...

When pagers are bombs fighters are only more of it

Kill switch is if you are lucky, if the plane receives "kill order" it can attack you becoming assassins, fleets of enemy planes inside your defenses.

There are multifaceted relationships between nations so we just need to keep our critical technologies close to the chest and keep taking the money from whoever which is what every other tech nation is doing.

TF6000 is in flight preperation state, if they hit 4500 lbf in Q1'26 it can fly on both Anka3 and also on Kızılelma in that time frame for tests and move on from there.

No wonder Baykar was the first to turn a drone into a bomber and not TAI, how could they be with the traitors within.

Siberia means sleeping lands.

Unique for how long, depends on who breaks the tradition next. It is about making the best use of available components to expand the envelope. If making another engine is unlikely making an unortodox plane becomes likely. It is the newfound wide designspace of the planes that bow to noman.

Single engine, twin engine configurations are classic but what about triples. China opened the doors for it. Imagine an Anka3 with triple engines, also mixing TF6 & TF10 engines. A TF10 in the middle with twin TF6 on the sides. This can give more power when needed. A similar aproach with...

TAI is a laggard, Baykar is a gogetter.

They can poach some good engineers or outsource some of the development and order some parts fom like TEI, why not.

Even when it is not a priority if there is a difference of more than a year to service you want the early one to be in service rather than waiting for the better one and it can be a different product too.

Once you make everything else on the plane ready to go a new engine can be a new version of the same plane without much development time to spend. If Baykar makes the ideal engine for the plane it can finally be the main configuration. With several engine options it will be possible to deliver...

While Kızılelma needs the TF10000 engine to attain its designed capabilities the TF6000 engine only lacks the afterburner power that the TF10000 engine offers. AB is used in rare situations, this means that the TF6000 can still do a job if you do not foresee a high power requirement in a given...

It is an average Round Trip Time latency in satellite communications and not specific to Kızılelma. 100ms RTT is for landlines I believe. I am not sure if the Uluğbey satellite constellation at 510 km altitude will have a better latency, and perhaps it will if the 2 second delay is on the 36000...

Target plane was under tracking so it won't matter if the missile is fired by a person or by the machine. The person can only know what the machine reports, once firing requirements are fed into the machine it can fire the missile itself.

Kızılelma will be re-engined in a couple of years and will probably be already supersonic with one TF10000 engine, (needs to be seen yet). A twin engine version can be more capable naturally. Coms latency is only relevant in close combat, can possibly be improved in the future.

Kızılelma will have some communication latency of 2+ seconds that creates some disadvantage in dogfights. It has a smaller payload capacity than the F16. Feel free to break down what else you think is a shortcoming.

And perhaps test every six months?
