As far as I know, Japan is the only country opposed to cooperation in the Tempest program. Great Britain and Italy were very positive about Turkey's interest.

You should try to appease Japan so that Turkey can gain access to Tempest alongside TAI KAAN.

You're misunderstanding my logic. It's about the strategic escalation ladder. The explosive power of a single bomb is secondary. Besides, where is it written that we can't use 4-5 of these bombs at a distance of 400 meters in a bombing zone? -> Explosion overlap! The upward scaling is there...

Why??? These weapons represent the highest conventional level. Don't forget that the ammunition can be scaled up. Its effectiveness can be further improved through a better ignition mechanism, warhead design, and chemical mixture, all of which can be optimized. Not to mention the higher weight...

Many people do not realize what Erdoğan's government has given Turkey as a Gift. The new GAZAP and NB2 Hayalet weapons are far more than ordinary bombs – they push the boundaries of conventional warfare for Turkey to their absolute limits. These bombs are also scalable in terms of their effect...

So if you exhaust yourself with risky business ventures, that's more like mismanagement. You could have also manufactured industrial parts as an OEM to give yourself a second source of income. To be honest, you could also export cheap security weapons to the Third World for paramilitary forces...

That's normal; it's called market consolidation. Just because you're an arms manufacturer doesn't mean you're bound to be successful. There are approximately 3,000 to 3,500 arms companies in Turkey.

Let them... the Greeks deserve nothing else, they have always hidden behind people who thought they could protect them. They will get their comeuppance soon enough. It is important to kick such people out of Turkey and Northern Turkish Cyprus and refuse them entry altogether. If half the world...

I hope the site stays very very long 😊, I hope my contribution helps you.

I would like Tayfun Block 4 with a 2,500 kg thermobaric warhead (Gazap Warhead XL Version) with an explosion radius of 3-5 km. That corresponds to a small tactical nuclear bomb. Ideal for deterring Israel. If you build 200-300 of these warheads as backup, it won't even cost 300-400 million USD...

That's what I mean, I don't want to attack you or declare your source unprofessional, but you know yourself what fanboy talk is. And let's be honest, no matter what technological leaps we've made in the last 10 years, we have to view many things with skepticism and not take every piece of...

Where from? Is there a reliable source that officially confirms this? I'm not talking about an X (Twitter) account belonging to military expert Person A, B, or C, but official statements from Aselsan/TAI. It would surprise me if they had disclosed almost all of the TAI KAAN's features publicly...

Is this confirmed or just speculation? If KAAN has 360° AESA radar then it would inevitably have to have SU-57 MARS (DARS). We know that it has AESA Radar + DAS, but MARS was more a wish of all of us than the actual reality. To this day there is no official confirmation.

Sorry, my mistake, but I don't see any significant difference between the two engines we can see here. In itself, an engine like the GE-F404 is actually the ideal engine, but it is too expensive for a drone that is calculated from the outset as a loss system (combat). For the Ivchenko Progress...

I don't see this as a handicap in a fight, all fighters fire the afterburner without exception, so Kizilelma has a thrust to weight ratio of 1.1-1.2 even with one TF-10000 engine in Afterburner Mode. Twin Engine config is nice to have but not necessary.

However, it is possible that the introduction will simply take place without weapons tests and that these will be carried out over time, while they have already been handed over to the armed forces. Because so far only the F-16 Özgür II (Block 30) have received Aselsan systems, where...

I consider this unlikely, although nothing can be ruled out, of course, given that Sungur systems are presumably installed. These work with visual/infrared target acquisition; however, it is possible that they also receive radar data from other systems in order to perform preliminary detection...

VTOLs are strategically important and a real multiplier. They could also be used to turn frigates and destroyers into small drone carriers. If these could carry a payload of 150-200 kg, they could also be used tactically against enemy ships, including for patrol flights and reconnaissance.

I find it highly unrealistic that the TAI KAAN could be delivered by the end of 2028 — even by late 2028. Of the six announced prototypes, there is still no trace — we have seen neither images of their assembly nor concrete indications of their completion, and we are already approaching August...
