After seeing what kamikaze drones&drones and Javelins did in Ukraine, I began to think that spending on land vehicles, except for i) artillery rockets, ii) 155 mm howitzers and iii) armored personnel carriers, was unnecessary! What are armored vehicles used for? They basically have 2 purposes...

Better late than never!

This is because the F35 and F22 fighters cannot offer the US army the long range advantage in the Pacific at low cost and in a short time. Both remain short range for the Pacific. Although NGAD was developed for this, there is a time and cost problem. There is no need to even talk about other...

I think Kaan's airframe, (I said Kaan's airframe, not Kaan!) is needed right now by both EU countries and Japan and even USA. This is the only 5th generation airframe that they can add to their inventory as soon as possible, which is both long-range, multi-role, and affordable. Don't let them...

In my opinion, Mr. Kotil's statements are not motivated by politics. He makes such statements to create public pressure on TAI employees. I'm sure he also knows what reasonable timeline are for projects.

IMO, we can solve the power package problem of the T925&T929 with the domestic engine and domestic transmission we have available. We can use 4 x TS-1400 engines. We can position 2 engine on the right side and overlapping each other. The engines are interconnected by the existing domestic...

I guess I missed something. Are you sure the GTU-0 will fly?

If the domestic engine is produced by that date and operates with sufficient reliability, yes, it will be tested by installing it on the one of prototype KAAN together with the F110.

IMO USA haven't made any sales yet, for now. If the sale goes through (I won't believe it until I receive the equipment, by the way), I think it would be good for two reasons: i) Maintenance of the existing F-16 fleet would no longer be a problem. ii) We will gain time until we can produce...

Here we go! ;)

What is your personal estimate of the delay time?

Yes, possible.

Safer? I actually doubt it. In mechanical systems, the increase in the number of moving parts also increases the risk of failure. Since a transmission operated by 3 engines would be more complex, I think this power group would not be safer in total. However, since our engine companies are busy...

I think our fastest option for navy is navalize (and lightened by approx. 1 ton) T9XX choppers, with 3 x TS1400 engine. And navalize Gökbeys. For the rest of our armed forces, the non-navalize version of these two helicopters can be used. Yes, the transmission of a 3-engine system will be...

We have only one 1000 HP military power pack program. That is UTKU.

Relax my friend. They may make the first flight before the March 31 elections, for election propaganda. ;) Under the weight of this stress, you will fall ill by that time, God forbid! LOL

IMO, delayed mass production is not a problem, but delayed BATU&UTKU Power Pack is a big problem. I question the necessity of a heavy tank, but not the necessity of a power pack that is powerful enough to move heavy tanks and at the same time compact. Because we will need that power package and...

I couldn't understand what was meant by "flight". Flight in a business jet converted into a test-bed airplane is one thing, flight in a Ozgur F-16 block 30 is another thing... That radar and the TF-10000 engine made me a stress cube, I swear!

This part of your message made a lot of sense to me, although I still think the power is insufficient. If T925 is designed with 3 engines from the beginning and the engine chambers are kept large, the capacity of the helicopter can be easily increased in the future.
