I am not sure if I got what you are saying, but waves can cancel each other out as in Rafale but also can strengthen each other or change direction, steer each other. That is all beam forming. It is a science in its own right. Aselsan isn't good at that. Also, it could be the not so good...

Beam forming with AESA is not just about brute module count or peak power. If you are using more 4x 5x peak power like 100+kw peak power as stated here for BURFIS but never reaching beyond 300 km then you suck at your job. You need to compare it to what our frenemies all around us (will) have...

No one thinks that giant nose of KAAN is for tiny Murad radar, right? Also developer in video says it is the official 1to1 simulator for MMU not Özgür project or Hürjet. So I still have no idea why it merely shows 300km max range like F-16 block30s. Well at least it is 360 degrees not just a...

Found this in an MMU sim video. KAAN's radar scaler is at 40nm that puts BURFIS radar maximum at 300km. I was expecting 400-600km considering the size and power of BURFIS :( Am I interpreting this right?

Sure but that's bare minimum. TACTILE feeling is missing for 90% of flight and other controls. It is like using on screen keyboard instead of an actual keyboard on a PC. It is slower and awkward. A bad combo when milliseconds could mean life or death. And again like I said screen is too crowded...

I am no pilot, but… Even with a touch screen which is too small and crowded to operate effectively with touch, shouldn't there be a lot more buttons, knobs etc. to speed up reaction times of the pilot, especially in a dog fight and to free precious screen space? Turn rate seems low compared to...

Sheesh. How many years will it take for a 4k cockpit view of KAAN with radar and all other screens visible, I wonder. DCS game needs several clear 4k pictures to add a playable KAAN mod. Also the real-life specs for accurate dogfights. Including missiles. They have F-35, F-22, Su-57 etc. even...

That is a commercial engine. Even 1% fuel savings is critical for success, so they do several redesigns and testing. Safety tests, certifications also take much, much longer. If you get sued for causing a death by skipping a test or civil certification step that take many years, you will lose...

Isn't getting publicly searchable patents for military top secret projects is a bit..., dumb? Even if all actual info available is just a few words on a webpage. I know America does it too. But what are they going to do? Sue China if they steal a military technology idea, based on your patent? 🤷‍♂️

KAAN engine studies started even before 2017. That is more than 11 years. If TF-6000 is a success as @TheInsider says. There is no practical reason for the TF-35000 or something around that thrust not being operational by 2028. In wartimes new engines are produced much faster, as in WW2, not 11+...

Yes exactly. This guy kept insisting you can't see anything if they are not giving you their full radar blast for 10 messages despite various examples I provided that debunked his posts. Sheesh. But in order to achieve this you need 2 things, very high quality (low noise) receiver modules (as...

Breaking news for you: All light SCATTERS! Even highest quality, most focused light (laser) scatters. That is how a camera can see a focused laser wave that is not directed to it. Did you bother to read my post? https://fstoppers.com/education/increased-risk-lasers-mirrorless-cameras-328090

You are the one that brought up RWR not me. I was talking about F22 AESA Receiver modules that are sensitive to radar waves from others' transmitters while running in silent mode. RWR is a more basic version with receivers only. But principles are the same there too...

If you say so: This is what google says though. "The receiver periodically scans across the frequency band and determines various parameters of the received signals, like frequency, signal shape, direction of arrival, pulse repetition frequency, etc." Not different from a camera or an eye...

AESA isn't undetectable. It has lower probability since it is like a laser not a light bulb with side reflectors like older radars. An actual F-22 pilot said these things about F22 in Quora. Couldn't find the exact post. But AESA is a narrow, focused wave like a laser is. Yes you will surely...

@TheInsider F-22 radar can see radar signals of all the F-35s flying below it through R modules while in passive mode without transmitting anything even when F-35 AESA (most modern hard to detect) are targeting other planes. Similar to Sentinel satellites seeing Sx00 radar signals from all the...

Bunch of blah, blah. You won't learn anything useful or new by reading about Turkish defense industry from these lame passive-aggressive foreign website articles. Twitter and this site are all you need.

TEI, Akşit went silent suddenly after testing TF-6000. Is there a problem with turbofan? Does anyone here know anything. Like real thrust, TIT, etc.?

@TheInsider wow you really have the best info. Thank you very much. Do you have any insider info on TF-6000 tests? I am most curious about that. What is the real life maximum thrust? Maximum heat reached in the hot section? Were there any problems that could affect, delay KAAN's engine. Since...

As you know, even 4.5th gen F-16s are getting weaker laser weapons via pods. Next generation F-35s are almost certainly going to have destructive, longer range laser weapons. Without ignoring these developments, what do you think about having a 3rd generator on a future 6th gen. KAAN for...
