This is extremely important if we manage to build up our own semiconductor industry, then we can talk about absolute independence. Let it be only in the military sector, we can forget about ever catching up with Taiwan, South Korea, China & EU/USA, the lead is too high for that. But they can no...

That would be a waste of money, the KAI KF-21 has no internal weapons bay, you might as well use any fighter available... I don't understand why Hürjet was developed as a light fighter/trainer anyway. If they had built it from the beginning like an F-16 alternative like the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen E...

If we were to return to the program, I would buy as few F-35s as possible - 20-30 maximum. We can then fly them in joint NATO operations with the F-16Vs, so we don't need to send our own Turkish jets (KAAN, F-16 Özgur & Co) to fear prying eyes and spying on foreign soil. It makes no sense to...

Bro Taiwan has China as an immediate danger threat, with more than 1000+ fighter planes as opponents. They generate their income from the chip industry, especially through TSMC. USA gives them very high discounts, and help them underhand with maintenance & support, almost the whole electronics...

Because Hürjets are not capable of replacing or fighting F-16's, I would be in favor of producing 60 of them, with the option of 20 more. Otherwise it should only serve as an export aircraft for countries in Asia & Africa. For Turkey, 40 units are sufficient as a trainer variant for training...

That's right, we would just have to add at least 30-40 Kizilelma to our inventory by 2028. Together with the F16 Özgur version, we would then already have a bulwark in the airspace in advance. Akinci/Aksungur and TB3/TB2S could simply monitor the airspace permanently with their patrols and...

We generally don't need any more F-35, the F-16 Özgur, F16 Block 70 and Hürjet are enough in then next 5-6 Years. The hardware & software of Block 70 as an analysis will certainly help the KAAN, Hürjet, F-16 Özgur as version III to become even better in terms of Murad AESA radar 2.0, electronic...

I recently saw an interview with Temel Kotil on YouTube. He said that nothing can be accelerated, new knowledge comes with research, there is no button you press and it comes by itself, it is hard work that costs a lot of time and money. From the realization of the research of a material to the...

Ok, we don't get any other fighter jets ready, neither from Europe nor from the USA, we don't have access to the F-35 fighter jets, we don't get the really good fighter jets from Russia SU57 or China J20 and J31 either because we are a NATO member. The Greeks will get their 40 F-35s regardless...

Apart from that, the weight of money alone was the deciding factor in us getting this deal. I'm sure some senators would have blocked it, but companies like Lockheed Martin & Co certainly told them underhand in no uncertain terms, "We'll fuck you if you block the deal, we're talking 23 billion...

I don't understand some people in this forum, we need these fighter planes, the Russian ones suck, and the Chinese only sell the Russian clones to other countries which suck just as much. They don't sell the good fighters to others, otherwise they would have done it long ago. Europe does not...

It doesn't have to be, if we produce them ourselves again under license like before, then everything will be fine. They won't be able to sell us the F-35 at the moment because they know it would mean a fundamental shift in power in Europe and the Middle East. For us it means insights into sensor...

Ok, let's assume that the TB3 has located a Rafaele, a Eurofighter or an F-16 and launched the BVR missile. The missile has missed the target, i.e. the enemy has used decoy maneuvers including decoys and prevented the launch. Now the enemy fires his missile and now find the weak point in your...

I have to laugh 😂, here are people who really think a Tutboprob MALE drone running on crutches with its 300-400 km/h has a chance against a GEN 4.5+ or 5 fighter jet because it can carry BVR missiles. Apparently people have forgotten the concept of what these drones are for. Reconnaissance...

I am sure that at least 4.5+ Gen Fighter with an AESA radar can track a conventional MALE drone (Turboprob) without any problems. In this case TB2/3, Anka S, if this were not the case, then the USA would not have shot down a drone of ours with an F-16 in Syria or Iraq a few weeks ago. It is...

The thing flies at a maximum speed of 300-400 km/h and has no stealth properties whatsoever, so you could fly towards the enemy aircraft unnoticed and shoot it with a BVRAAM. By the time this opportunity arises for some inexplicable reason, the drone has already been shot down. What would be...

Turkey must possess nuclear weapons as soon as possible, the possession of nuclear weapons is also a life insurance that no country in the world will attack the country again. If Russia, China and North Korea did not have nuclear weapons, they would have been attacked by the West long ago. The...

It makes sense, of course, at least from the government's point of view; they will of course get a lot of PR, advertising and national pride out of it. If the plane makes its first flight shortly before the elections, with a big event, to influence the electorate for the upcoming elections, it's...

But that's pointless, the coup was already over. All the pilots, generals, admirals and soldiers were kicked out, arrested or fled. Not to mention that the security precautions for the use of F-16 aircraft were certainly tightened considerably afterwards. Each of these Turkish F-16 aircraft has...

Again, who do we have to defend ourselves from in the next 5-10 years that it would have been necessary to act immediately? We could easily have waited until 2030. We have shot ourselves in the foot, let's hypothetically assume that the S-400 would never have been bought. Just from the...
