El talks about Kaan and Spain

Tolga Özbek interviews Mr Mahmut Akşit with many details

"Tavşan atlet" The pace setter

I have no idea, it is not made public yet. If they are not in a hurry they may go for it, if it ever happens.

I have mapped out the long journey but the map got deleted before saying that it is absurd, like they had to.

2 years max if you really want it, I can tell from the Şimşek-1 space launch rocket program where the rocket is a 29 meter long 2.2 meter diameter beast and is expected for 2027. Yıldırımhan estimated specifications (by comparison to its equivalents in the world) Length: 15 meter Diameter...

We are so tight-lipped we won't tell anyone even if we knew.

Current production capacity is 6-9 Kaan copies and 24 to be added totaling 30-33 per year, tweeted today.

Minister Güler: “We have produced six GÜÇHAN turbofan engines.” This may only mean they have made 6 builds. Remember Mr. Mahmut Akşit mentioned that they probably need to make 15 builds before they are done with developing the TF35k engine. So they probably got to like 40% of the way to a...

It is unbelievable there is development work outside the oversight of SSB as they are the body that plans and budgets development work and finances them. No wonder even Eray Güçlüer couldn't comment on MSB Arge's work and was like shocked.

Undecided, it is like a 10% chance that they have nailed major aspects of the engine and need to work on some other aspects. Even if they are on the right path it can take decades more for something to come out as they don't have the required credentials for a capable design house and production...

Probably for stuff that will go into the European market. If MSB Arge could pull off a larger engine why not Baykar make its own.

MSB Arge is swinging the reputation of the Turkish defence industry between shame and fame, wonder where it lands at the end

Kaan league is shaping up

As much as I want to have a second promising maker working on some critical national projects I don't want to hear the lbf abbreviation be pronounced as libre feet as the MSB Arge manager did in an NTV interview.

There was only the MOD himself in the MSB Arge presentations as a politician and himself is the previous Chief of Staff an old school officer from the olden times. And all he does as a political message is to place flashy Atatürk signatures on their display objects which is not very welcome...

The bigger the missile the more the speed but you can have more of the smaller missiles to shoot as they are small and easier to handle and all, you need variety.

Obviously they will make the TF35k engine quicker rather than slower.

Upgrading existing systems to ballistic capability is a shortcut that can save time and provide earlier ballistic coverage, thankfully.

I am pretty sure there are several dozen engines in stock already and they can do a certain job with them. Future versions can have different engines. Users do not really have alternatives to Kızılelma so it is like a sure bet to acquire Kızılelma with Ukrainian engine.
