Let me rephrase, it feels they made those bays and therefore the plane as large as it is just so they could fit SOM-J to make a point

It feels to me KAAN will have a very significant payload, like carrying Bozdoğans *and* Amraams while also carrying Som-J. That bay looks like it was meant for Som-J. If it can carry total 10-12 AA missiles in pure AA config that would be neat (side bays included)

Isn't that estimated cost of TF2000?

If we want to operate proper aircraft carrier in the future, naval Hürjet would be worth more as a trainer and stepping stone to build experience towards that goal. I can't see us building a carrier and proper fighter for it in less than 20 years earliest and at this point it would be...

Actually I should expand: a pipeline consists of several different stages during development of a new product. These stages require different resources. Pipelining is when you have multiple products and in parallel and you have different stages of products running in parallel so as to not have...

Do you know what a product pipeline is?

He has stated before he wants to grow TUSAŞ and basically compete with lockheed in aerospace. And it is meaningful to have future projects being worked on with less focus at conceptual stage at all times, only issue here is stating it too early to public. I appreciate the ambition at least. But...

Could those lower the prices though?

There are instances where Koral interference was picked up from Copernicus Sentinel satellites. If they were used it would probably have been noticed by many.

I was hoping TCG İstanbul would be open to visitation today but as far I can see it's one of Barbaros Class in front of Dolmabahçe

It seems like we have everything needed to make a wildcat except seaspray radar. We have the heli of same weight and size, we have engines of same power level in fact aren't they same engines on first 3 ? We have the ASELFLIR400D for electro optics, we have Kuzgun TJ instead of Sea Venom, we...

Is putting machine guns on sides also an option? Shouldn't be too difficult if needed right? I wonder if 12.7 or even Venom LR would be possible, would be interesting

Hisar D RF already differs from Hisard O RF somewhat right? So from this statement Hisar D RF block 2 will be like a hybrid between Siper and Hisar.

The thickness at thickest point is what matters so yes.

Remember the MIDLAS model from idef 23, quadpacked Hisar D Block 2 looked very tight fit already, and Siper Block 1 was there as well, Siper Block 2 might just be too big.

That looks like a much bigger seeker so that's nice. Curious about lack of dual stage, wonder if Blok 1 would perform better at 70-100km range

Now try with MIDLAS :)

That launch for low altitude hit looked impressive, quick overshoot to change direction and no sort of visible oscillation. It's thanks to tvc right?

Military procurement and planning is a difficult process. Moreso for us. We can't only think if a platform looks good we buy a 100 right now. We have to consider maintainability and availability, current capabilities and how it will hold up in future in 10 years, how will it be modernized etc...
