Why would countries that already own 5th gen and are developing 6th gen be really interested in KAAN? But maybe since 6th gen is far away they want a twin engine alternative to F35? Eh don't think so. I certainly wish Italy and Japan would partner with us though.
It's a waste of quality manpower. You know how people complain when we do fason and kaportacılık and not enough yerli ve milli, that's the software equivalent. But well If you can't provide jobs that produce high value added software and end user products...
We need to focus on creating...
Aksungur is being tested with PT170 rn which will increase its total electrical energy significantly though I don't know which engine previous versions used. You can expect more useful electronic payloads after that.
We make a lot of in house software solutions and not enough open standardized tools that I know of. Video games as a sector seems like its growing nicely and is has more added value, otherwise finance sector seems like it has the bulk of jobs.
Turkey has quite a large area, so to get to inner lands you must cross a lot of distance with bombers and fighters, this means you have to go through our air defenses and fighters. I think the biggest threat here is a large volley of ballistic missiles that we don't have much protection against...
Gökbey with indigenous engine is expected to be delivered 2026. A three engine version is a brand new helicopter so imagine how long that would take... I wonder if it would be easier to try and develop an engine for T925 or find it some other way. Would be nice if Ukraine gave us the license...
I also want to know if there are any plans to modernize the AH1W, since a replacement isn't coming soon. Would be cool if we changed electro optics and integrated Cirit and Omtas / Umtas at minimum, since they are normally able to carry Hellfire.
I am more hopeful for Naval variant, but it's unlikely it will carry all the payloads Seahawk carry at once which is a limitation. I am more concerned about land operations where it will have to face stringers and gunfire.
