The French do not have high hopes anymore in the FCAS project, too many differences with Germany and looking more like a repeat on the Eurofighter which France left to build her own Rafale. Britain already partners Italy and Japan, Turkiye would come in as a small 4th partner. Why help Rolls...

FCAS and TEMPEST are project that are behind Kaan, we have already a flying prototype. The only area we are behind is engine technology and also there we are catching up. You guys think Tempest will be better? I have severe doubts, look at Baykar how important own product is would Baykar have...

And you know this how? You have access to state secrets? Or you just speculate? Tempest or Eurofighter are just platforms, sure the platform has to be good, fast and stealth but more important is what you put inside like optronics, radars, engine, self defence suite, armament etc. Why...

Question would be "Why would we be interested in joining Tempest while we have Kaan" Goes against every notion of our aim of being "independent"

Well that is to be awaited, if this project is also financed in the "yap islet devret" with state guarantee of X number of ships passing yearly like all our (huge) loss making bridges and highways it will quickly become another black hole in the state budget, and for what? We cannot close the...

This project is to create a fake economic "rise", China used for long the heavy construction building that drove the Chinese economy. However this is a kind of policy that is creating a balloon effect and in the end one of China's biggest construction companies together with a few banks went...

Worse is the canal will waste the few sweet water lakes to the west of Istanbul and force Istanbul to make drinking water from desalination plants

True they indeed did start design of the aircraft carrier very recently but the navy is wishing an aircraft carrier already since 2000 (25 years ago) Our technology is just recently maturing (able to build radars, VLS systems, AD missiles etc. etc.). Now all ingredients are there it makes...

Because it makes sense? When you have an aircraft carrier, you need a battle group around it. Key parts of that battle group = TF-2000 and Milden Our other ships are more for littoral combat

Well TAI uses 3D printing just because the US is not selling the press for such titanium bulkheads, To speed up production several printers have to be acquired

Not quite, these are ships that the navy doesn't want. It's not that the US gives away active ships. In fact the engine condition is such that even Griks reject them, go figure

Could be, there was a talk about a bigger Akinci, in general this illustration looks like the Akinci with a changed wing. It can be an illustration distortion but it could also represent the bigger Akinci

Hopefully, this will not turn into another Altay tank issue, although if we still trust Germany and make such purchases after everything that has happened, we deserve it.

A) to diversify the fleet in order to have transition to Kaan????? Reverse engineering a 4th gen while we design a 5th gen? Sorry bro, but that makes no sense at all. B) ACCESS to western technology? Than why is our goal to get independent? Very contradicting arguments bro. Case is that...

Yes, nobody argues this. But what has it to do with buying Typhoon?

That's a strange contradiction than, to get more independent we move to purchase foreign aircraft to make ourselves more dependent? And what table to sit at? That is also not completely correct, the development system of Dassault was one of the options. There are several design software...

What is the most funny part is that I hear a lot of arguments like we need the Eurofighter to counter Rafale. Just LOL! So we gonna purchase an aircraft to use it against and EU country with MBDA missiles etc.? What kind of Einstein does it take to come to such a solution? That is virtually...

Good you make an analogy with an example Let me counter with a counter analogy, suppose we had purchased American Reaper drones. They are bigger, faster, Americans are virtually the creator of software. Would it have served us better than TB2? If you do not own the tech you can purchase a...

Nice question, I think it is maybe even the opposite and Hurjet can be even more valuable than an F16 or Eurofighter. We can use the Hurjet in combination with Kizilelma. Having a "loyal winman concept" with a 4th gen. light fighter will make us unique. Will give much much more deterence (if...

Armed version is highly unlikely while EASA certification of the trainer version still continues. I hope this guy (Tayfun Erdil) is right but first see than believe
