Eurofighter T1 makes no sense as a rapid response, it has no air-to-ground capabilities. It has no AESA radar, the EW and mission computer is technologically 15-20 years old and will be EoL by 2030 at the latest. Who do you want to defend yourself against with this Aircraft? Every country...

However, these are not the real ranges, but rather the estimated ranges. The Meteor's range is also 100-+150km with a zero escape zone of 60-70 km. If at all, you can only reach such ranges if you fire your missiles top down to the target. But I say that with reservations, I got the information...

We both know who you are Manomed The Saviour 😂

The development of Gezgin (Tomahawk equivalent) and Gökhan (MDBA Meteor equivalent) must definitely be accelerated. Greece is very afraid that the import of the MDBA Meteor will not only give Turkey a weapon to exert great pressure in the Aegean. But that Turkey can significantly improve the...

I think that the technical knowledge they gained is probably one of the reasons. They are aware that the Gökhan RAMJET missile is under development, and through the METEOR missile, especially because of the seeker or the GEL fuel, Turkey could gain knowledge that could significantly help with...

Has any Turkish official ever claimed otherwise? They have all said that it will still be inferior to F-22/F-35 in some areas. They have even confirmed that this aircraft as a first block will not deliver the performance they are aiming for but will at least be superior to the GEN 4.5 aircraft...

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/29/us/f-35-fighter-jet-crash-hnk/index.html Another crash to the F-35 and to be honest I don't think much of the F-35 either, the plane is simply over engineered and permanently flawed.

And the other countries involved in the METEOR project will exert enormous pressure on France to conclude this deal. Don't forget: EU armaments projects stand or fall with their cooperation! England, Italy & Co and France, Germany & Co are already going their separate ways on the GEN 6 aircraft...

I hope something moves in the near future, for me and many here in the forum 7-9 months for a new prototype is simply too much time. I hope they can speed it up somehow. The aircraft absolutely has to be ready as Block 0 in 2028/29, any delay could be fatal for the project. Many outside interest...

https://turdef.com/article/kaan-fighter-jet-gets-smaller-and-what-does-it-mean What was more or less an open secret has now been confirmed, TAI KAAN as the second prototype will be a tick smaller and hopefully not so compressed as a result.

The question is where to get these special nuclear reactors from, neither the USA, China/Russia and the EU will sell them nor will they provide the technical know-how. Nuclear reactors for ships and submarines are needed if you want to pursue absolute geopolitics. Nobody would want to support us...

Do we actually have an additional earth observation satellite with an image resolution of 0.5 meters and additional SAR? Or is Turkey planning something like this in the next 6-8 years? That would be the next construction site that should be tackled.

It is also a counterweight in the Mediterranean to France, Greece/Cyprus and Egypt. Neither Spain nor Italy want or tolerate France having or gaining too much power in the Mediterranean through its proxies such as Greece/Cyprus & Egypt. That is why they support Turkey pragmatically, e.g. through...

I am only worried about the industrial cooperation between Pakistan and China through J-17, there could be an involuntary transfer of technology from TAI KAAN through Chinese espionage.

The Hürjet, in its current trainer configuration, is not suitable for a naval version. Investing in such an adaptation would be a waste of resources, as the aircraft would be outmatched in every aspect. In a potential conflict, it would stand no chance against competitors. Deploying an aircraft...

Perhaps it would have made more sense to develop the Hürjet 20-30% larger with 2 F-404 engines.... Additionally with a small internal weapons bay for 2-3 AAMs and a bit more stealth Design. As it is now, it would always lose as a future naval version against Russia, China, India or France, e.g...

OK, you don't seem to understand 😊 Turkey doesn't have the financial means, you can't just develop an absolutely high end engine and produce it on an assembly line just because you or I want it that way. The aircraft also has to be affordable, both in terms of the purchase price for the armed...

This is just a theory of mine, I just wanted to make the engine less complex as Revision 1. TAI KAAN will probably be a bit smaller and more delicate anyway, between 6-8% reduction is mentioned, and therefore also lighter. So 90kn dry and 150kn wet is a sweet spot, isn't it? You also have to be...

How realistic is it if the indigenous engine has this configuration it is less complex than the F-110 129, it has less mechanical parts and therefore a bit more power. It has 1 less fan and compressor and 1 more high and low pressure turbine to distribute the load more evenly.
