When considering the strategic orientation of the Turkish Navy for the next 15–20 years, it becomes clear why larger combat ships are absolutely essential. The areas of operation will no longer be limited to the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, but will increasingly include the Indian Ocean and, in...

I think it is entirely possible that US Western weapon systems have technical barriers that prevent pilots from attacking certain targets – such as American or possibly Israeli ones – or that their effective deployment is deliberately prevented. However, I think it would be extremely difficult...

I say this cautiously and with reservation. TRMotor – What it really is and why it is crucial for TF-35000 Many still believe that TRMotor is a "second TEI" but without much experience or a classic engine manufacturer that is new. That is not true. TRMotor's role is completely different – and...

I would like to receive some information about the TEI TF-35000 if possible. So far, we have only seen a few PR clips and short test runs of the TF-6000, which seemed more like PR demonstrations than full-fledged test campaigns. I know TEI told us they already finshed more than 1XX Tests with...

You need all the resources at your disposal to combat potential competitors/rivals (Greece, Israel, Iran & Russia) in your environment. It makes sense to promote innovation, competition and fail-safe measures; if the others fail, you have a third option. If necessary, companies can exploit...

Can someone recheck the plane number if is the plane they crashed.

It was probably too late for the poor pilot to eject. This was hardly good publicity for the Tejas aircraft, regardless of whether it was pilot error or a mechanical fault.

I don't fully understand the specific benefits of the Aksungur drone. It seems like a platform that is uncompromisingly optimised for endurance, but without offering a payload capacity or system diversity that even comes close to the level of the Akinci. In my view, it would have made more...

Akinci is a platform that definitely outperforms TAI's drone in all areas; Aksungur cannot compete with it.

Kızılelma will only reach its true potential when equipped with two engines such as the AI-322F or the TF-10000. Only then will it become a UCAV that, while not capable of engaging in classic dogfights, can operate as a highly agile scout and wingman within an entire swarm – similar to a pack of...

How this poor country has to serve as cannon fodder for European security. Not that I'm defending Russia, but all this could have been avoided from the outset if Ukraine had been left neutral and not lured with offers that were and are unrealistic. Now it's only a matter of time before there...

It's not that simple: if both sides have stealth capabilities, stealth loses its original role as a "long-range advantage" and instead becomes a prerequisite for even surviving in modern air combat. This shifts the actual BVR window to a realistic engagement range of 30 to 60 km, because only in...

Alternative partners for whom? Germany? The population is already outraged that the German Chancellor has travelled to Turkey to curry favour and actively seek arms and Technology cooperation with turkey. The German People dont understand the 180° turn, because Germany's political agenda against...

What would be a realistic alternative? To procure additional Eurofighters by around 2033/34 – and in the meantime optimize the existing six TAI-KAAN prototypes as much as possible? Because so far, there is no fully functional TF-35000 engine, no one knows how far along the engine is, whether it...

I have been considering various scenarios over the last few days. Turkey will receive 44 Eurofighters – around 24 of them from Qatar and Oman between 2026 and 2027/28, and the remaining 20 new Eurofighters from 2030 onwards. There are currently 12 new F-110 engines available for six TAI KAAN...

It makes little sense at present to consider a possible TB4 platform as long as the TB3 and TB2T AI are not yet widely available and fully integrated into service. The priority should initially be to sell off part of the Turkish Armed Forces' older TB2 stock, particularly to friendly countries...

As if Turkey would really rely on Germany and Co. – that's just PR. Turkey will continue to go its own way and keep one foot in every important organisation or alliance – be it NATO, the EU, BRICS+ or the SCO. At the same time, it will invest heavily in research, development and production –...

We should also seize the opportunity while the offer is still valid – the F-16 is approaching the end of its technical service life. After Block 70, the US will only modernise the aircraft in exceptional cases, for example if safety-related problems arise. Otherwise, there will only be software...

I hope they don't give away technology; nobody gave us anything for free, so we should do the same.

I hope they develop a version with two engines as soon as possible.
