It takes brains to make the right move not balls.

F16 has pretty much been all we had all along. I would say people have grown to love them. See how many forum members have the F16 in their nick names. Thinking of today alone is short sighted, think about 15 years into the future. The US has $65k GDP and their costs are on that basis. We can...

Surprise surprise F16 replacement and exports. The USA can use their carriers and long range missiles for power projection while we can't. Why not, when you have the engines and avionics and everything else to make it. You can only convert certain civilian models which probably with...

Once we have the domestic TFX engines we should consider making a variety of planes around them. Two engine fighter jet One engine fighter jet Four engine bomber Four engine tanker Two engine supersonic passenger plane Four engine supersonic passenger plane Four engine cargo plane One engine...

TAI have developed an AI based test process which will bring test time to 30% of usual, down70%. Testing 14 planes can be apiece of cake.

14 prototypes will shorten development time as they can do tests without waiting for results from other tests, like parallel processing in computing. Once development is completed the 12 prototypes can be converted to an initial fleet of TF fighters with older engines while development continues...

Bangladesh is Bayraktar TB2 user, bright green on the map.

It was a few weeks ago that they said the production of the TF6000 engine prototype was started. They would probably want to see that prototype running well before they start putting together a prototype of any other engine. So I expect that it will be a couple of years before we see the Özgün...

Number 28 is for 2028, Temel Kotil says that Türkiye will have the national engine for the TFX in 2028. How many engines do we have for prototypes, as I hear from Turkish media we have F110 engines for 7 planes prototype or not.

With 3D printing of turbine blades a whole lot of new cooling design possibilities open up. I wonder if liquid cooling can become possible.

Of course it is and there is no sign that the industry have complaints about it.

Current composition of the industry is not bad, there is nothing to fix.

I never said you said something so there is no distortion. I only said Mr. Akşit did not put a limit to what the technology they are employing can do. SSB want to forge the efforts of several parties into one combined effort to make sure the outcome is a satisfactory one similar to how the...

Mr. Akşit does not say the technology they are using only enables that much. He only says with the cooling measures they took they operating the blades at up to 1800°K. You can not the make inference from his statement that a working temperature of only 1327°C is achieved. You can very well use...

Those opposing countries must be thinking Türkiye will not defend itself against their plots. While none of them have borders with conflict areas Türkiye does. This gives all the leverage we need to go ahead. The perfect opportunity to step up our defense industry game is looming.

A reusable drone carries a disposable drone. Each component of the whole does what it can do best, better than having one disposable larger drone.

We don't want to leave Iraq to the hands of Iran.

Nobody needs to prove you anything, it is you asserting that we don't have the technology while there is lots of work still in progress. I have been at one of the meetings in one of the universities where some of the technologies were brought up and it was more than two years ago. I am...

While there is so much secrecy and intense efforts of development what proof do you have to assert otherwise about the state of Turkish technology, such a pile of preconception you are spewing. I never asserted that only existing technology is to be employed. You need to have every detail of the...

Understandable it looks a little creepy to foreigners when Turkish made crystals shine.
