Yes, the TF6000/TF10,000 makes sense for Kızılelma, but if we want to build a true unmanned combat aircraft, I think we'll need two 20,000 lb engines, as 10,000 lb isn't suitable for heavy loads. Do you have any estimates on this? Baykar Engines has launched a project for a 20,000 lb turbofan...

Yes, this makes sense. As far as I understand, autonomous mode is used in a saturation attack on a country. AI coordinates layered air defense systems based on the type of missile launched, directing the most suitable air defense system to the attacking missile, focusing on minimum ammunition...

Will the KIZILELMA replace the F-16? Answer: It won't, but it will radically change its role and make it the most important player on the team. -AESA Radar Can track multiple targets simultaneously and prioritize threats. Can detect at much longer ranges than the F-16's mechanically scanned...

MKE has been doing good work lately, but there is one important issue about drone destruction. Terrorists now generally use fiber optic cables. Furthermore, because they attack our military units positioned on top by climbing up from the mountainside, they exploit both radar range and the blind...

Official authorities have to do an in depth research to ensure that there are no questions left in our minds. Not only electronics buying people is very easy nowadays, they can easily find someone to do this.

First of all, may the souls of all our soldiers rest in peace. Many possibilities come to mind, but it's best to wait for the results of our government's investigation. The possibilities that come to mind are: 1- Maintenance error or negligence, 2- Sabotage of the aircraft before takeoff, 3-...

Also MKE was developed Fatih 155 mm Sph end of 90s but army didnt accept and started Firtina project https://www.defencetalk.com/military/photos/fatih-155mm.38339/

Who buy weapons take orders. We are now a country that produces and even sells weapons. If we buy weapons, we nationalize them, obtain source codes, or obtain special permits. As far as I understand, we won't buy weapons unless they accept these terms, and that's the way it should be. Selling...

I understand clearly, we still need a few years to predict the course of events regarding tank projects. Since there is no concept yet regarding tanks due to the drone threat, Turkish army may move a little more cautiously and slowly.

According to the information given to the public in 2030, we will probably have a tank inventory as follows. Altay (T1 + T2 ) 250 Leopard 2T 350 M60T 170 M48s are 750 completely out of inventory, Leopard 1s are 400 reserves, M60A3 are 650 reserves So, who is Roketsan's MZK modernization...

Agreed, we need auto grenade launcher with machine gun or auto cannon which integrated with Akkor system to prevent the drone threat.

Has it really been delivered, friends?! I can't be happy, what if it's a dream? it took long time, man!

You said very well, thats the point actually.

I suspect there's also a potential for domestic ammunition integration, and it could involve other permits or technology access we don't know about. Turkey is very tricky when it comes to negotiations. Recall our last air defense purchase, where the parties were forced to offer incredible...

I missed that part, thanks for the info. I was thinking that once the F404 engines were approved, the F110 engines would probably be sold as well. So, the project has been rescheduled without the F110 engines. Everything depends on the success of the TF35000, then.

A common statement from TAI executives and Defense Industry officials is that the first phase targets 20 KAAN (block 10) aircraft, often referred to as 2028 delivery. This alone guarantees 20. The same sources also mention production ramp-ups ("2 aircraft per month in 2029" or a rapid increase...

A prediction is already forming in my mind. Would it be too dreamy if we made a list for 2030? 20/40 Kaan 240 F16 Özgür2 40/80 EF2000 T3/4 50/70 Hürjet 50/100 Kızılelma 30/50 Anka3/4 Approx 500+ We will also have Akıncı squadrons that we can configure for air-to-air missions.

Frankly, I estimated these figures based on our expansion into Africa and Asia, considering the potential air bases we will open in countries with which we will cooperate in the future. But your statements are worth considering. However, it's also true that once at least 100 Kaan aircraft are...

While Türkiye's current economic situation is challenging, its location on energy and trade routes means it will undoubtedly have a strong economy in the future. Consequently, it must possess a powerful air force to maintain the balance of power in the region. Otherwise, we cannot even protect...

Just as important as developing such systems is their effectiveness in the field. To ensure their effectiveness in the field, the effectiveness of detection sensors in challenging weather and terrain conditions, and the thorough training provided to soldiers to use them effectively, are crucial...
