That is complete nonsense – all ballistic missiles with a range of over 300 km and a payload of over 500 kg are subject to export controls. Turkey is a member of the MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime) and is subject to an export ban on this technology.

I also believe that the Güçhan 42000 is likely a rebranded F-110 engine, assembled through global MRO channels using overhauls, spare parts and proprietary components (e.g. the cold section) – a ‘Frankenstein’ engine. The whole display at SAHA 2026 serves only to demonstrate that this is a new...

On the contrary: the Silk Road to Europe runs right through Turkey; this route is of extreme strategic importance to China—there is no alternative; it is, in effect, a matter of China’s very survival. The route through Russia to Europe will be blocked for the next few decades, and the sea route...

I know is Crazy but…. I’ve been thinking about this the whole time… what if MSB AR-GE had received a direct technology transfer from China, and we were talking about a Fork of the WS-10 Engine? The F-110 and WS-10 engines are based on the CFM56 and GE F101 cores. China had access to the CFM56...

It cannot be ruled out, but it is very, very unlikely that Ukraine, with its current engineers, still possesses intercontinental ballistic missile technology from the USSR, such as the “Satan I,” and if it does… For several years now, the U.S. and Europe have been supporting Ukraine with money...

Please use your brain for a second. Let’s say you’re right—why are we then begging for planes like the Eurofighter as a stopgap until the TAI KAAN… when a new engine is practically ready and has already been unveiled in the Ministry of Defense’s drawer? You’ll see—it doesn’t make any sense...

As I’ve already mentioned, this engine doesn’t make sense; the thrust (lbf) of this engine and that of the TF 35000 are too close together, and the core of the TF 35000 still has room to grow to reach 38,000–39,000 lbf. So if this engine and the project are indeed real, I don’t see the point in...

Question… How likely is it that this is an attempt to pressure the U.S. and GE into supplying the first batches of the TAI KAAN with F-110 engines? If it is merely a cheap copy with a shorter service life of 1,000 to 2,000 operating hours, it would serve its purpose until the TF-35000 is...

What puzzles me is this: Why do we need an additional engine with 42,000 lbf of thrust? The TEI TF 35000 will end up at 38,000–39,000 lbf in a few years anyway—it was no different with the F-110 129 and the F-110 132. Why develop a completely new engine just to gain an extra 3,000–4,000 lbf…...

Wasn't there talk of installing the radar modules on both wings and the tail as well?

You’re right in principle, but the TF-35000 engine is still too expensive—it’s not a disposable product. It makes no sense to install it in a single-jet configuration on a platform, whether operated as a hybrid (manned/unmanned) or fully unmanned. In my opinion, the Hürjet should never have...

I doubt there will be a Hürjet 2; every country tends to opt for a mix of manned and unmanned aircraft High-end: KAAN, GCAP, NGAD, FCAS, F-35/F-22 Mid-range: Multi-role Combat Drones of various Classes Low-end: CAS, COIN, and air surveillance, drone command -> Hürjet, T-50, T-7 Red Hawk & Co...

What else has TAI sold so far besides the Hürjet?

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/saha-2026-oncesi-savunmada-yeni-yol-haritasi/ Space Dome? Does anyone know exactly what that means? A new generation of exo-atmospheric air defense systems? Like THAAD or Arrow 3? Or sounds as if they wanted to set up a special section at the SAHA 2026...

Correct me if I'm wrong... The 3rd+ generation (TEI TF 35000) must contain at least 6% rhenium for 1580–1650 °C The 4th generation must contain high levels of both rhenium and ruthenium for 1650–1750 °C

When examining the European security architecture, one must set aside Great Britain—which is pursuing an independent course regardless, due to its separate MoUs with Turkey and its withdrawal from the EU. The focus, rather, is on the core of the EU: Germany, France, Austria, Scandinavia, the...

I told you that the agenda that has been targeting Turkey and turkish Goverment and the Turkish population (Citizens) in Germany and Europe since 2015—and which relies on a negative portrayal—is a prelude to a military conflict. It won’t happen immediately, but in 6 to 8 years, given the...

Are you really serious? Turkey waged war against the PKK and its affiliated groups for more than 30–40 years; for several decades, these groups were supported by the West in order to contain Turkey and keep it below the threshold of total escalation—to control it, slow it down, and keep its...

Ultimately, no matter how you look at it, T129 failed actually to be exported to other countries because of the US engine, which is precisely why a domestic engine was developed. There’s no point in looking for exact equivalents; I could also point to countless Russian-licensed systems in the...
