If technology is driven by profit then we get in to bottlenecks in the end. Our current civilisation has taken the internal combustion engine and spent billions and billions to upgrade it over the last century to create such a machine that it has become far too complex to handle. Electric cars...

According to this news, the 4 ship armada made out of Türkiye’s most modern 4 ships, will be mooring in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

My wording wasn’t totally correct probably. It should have read : TF6000 is “almost” ready for flying. As mentioned by Dr Aksit, it already produces more thrust than current Motor Sich engine that flies Anka-3. . Since it is an unmanned platform that it will fly, it can be integrated in to...

TF6000 is almost ready. It has already produced almost the required thrust. (I caught In an interview Mr Demiroglu mentioning 5970lbf thrust being achieved). By the time the first LRIP samples are ready, that engine will be ready too. Inspite of the war and the bombing of the factory site, Motor...

Bro you’ve mis understood @Merzifonlu ‘s comments. Look at TF6000. 3-4 months ago it had already developed more thrust than the engine that was being used on Anka-3. Dr Aksit then said that if needed this engine can now be used. But if we are to wait for the engine to mature, then we are looking...

We will have to agree to disagree then. It is an accepted form that; A jet fighter is considered ready to be part of the operational inventory when it achieves Initial Operational Capability (IOC). This is a formal, high-level military milestone indicating that a sufficient number of aircraft...

Bro, Testing and integrating is one thing; But to accept a fighter jet in to inventory means it is ready to go out in to battlefield. Currently a number of TB3s are operating from TCG Anadolu. But they are still being tested by Baykar and are still being initiated to be full fighting tools of...

You are correct. My bad. Forgot that. In that case all they need to do is to ask TAI!

It is not an easy task to use Internal Weapons Bay to fire missiles. There are various technical issues that need to be addressed. The primary issues stem from complex, unsteady aerodynamics during transition from the enclosed bay conditions to the free airstream conditions. This is even harder...

They are talking about KE joining the inventory early this year. Yet this “stealthy” aircraft yet to carry munition and test firing it from its internal weapon bays. This is not a cheap piece of equipment that can be discarded. All munitions must be carried in its IWB if it needs to stay...

I think that option is there if the Kaan is delayed in its operational readiness and not able to join the fleet in reasonable numbers in time. Otherwise If Kaan is ready in good numbers, even with f110 engines it should be a better plane than Typhoon.

https://www.star.com.tr/savunma/israili-korkutan-kaan-gelismesi-rotayi-milli-muharip-ucaka-cevirdiler-haber-1998000/ This news content seems too far fetched. But then again so had the Hurjet deal, when it was first mentioned that Spain may buy “Turkish” jets. According to the information given...

https://turdef.com/article/tusas-s-t925-utility-helicopter-prototype-breaks-cover T-925 12 ton class utility helicopter has finally broken cover. Now we know what it looks like. Shame about the powerplant. It really needs a western 3000HP class engine to do it justice and also really needs a...

Saudis are interested in Tempest and Kaan, not because they just need to purchase these planes. They want to learn how they are made. MBS the Crown Prince wants a sizeable indigenous content in the planes they are going to buy to kick start their aerospace industry. Of the two we are the only...

We may need those OPVs more than we realise. It is not feasible to send a Kimon or even I-Class size frigate to patrol your shores or protect your off shore assets. An Offshore patrol vessel (OPV) in a navy is a small, versatile, and cost-effective warship designed for long-endurance maritime...
