There is no increase in the bid. The current timeline of the national engine envisions the engine integration in 2029 followed by flight tests and the delivery of the first KAAN with the national engine in 2032. There is also no change for the delivery date of Kaan with F110. It is still the end...

It is easier and cheaper to upgrade the first 4 Milgem to Istif class standards and build 4 additional Hisar class OPVs to replace Milgems.

2031-32.

TAIS consortium started keel laying of Milgem-9 (İstif-5). I expect at least 2 Istif to be launched next year(Milgem-9 and 10) and another 2 in 2027(11 and 12), and all of them to be fully commissioned before the end of 2028. Picture of Milgem-8 (İstif-4). I don't know if this is a recent photo.

Aselsan will triple radar production capacity before the end of 2027.

Anka-3 will be able to carry 8 Toluns inside its internal weapon bays.

Egypt is building a new administrative capital worth 50 billion $. It is the same mentality with different applications.

Gökhan will use boron-added kerosene gel fuel. The formula is highly classified. Gökhan will be able to maintain high supersonic speeds throughout its flight envelope and will bring a generational advantage over Meteor. Flutter, carry tests will be done in 2025, and qualification tests including...

Gökdoğan-ER is likely a dual pulse rocket engine variant of the Gökdoğan missile to be used with Aselsan Gökdemir. This will increase range and terminal engagement energy of the missile. Gökhan-ER might be a solid booster version of Gökhan we know that SAGE plans to use Gökhan from land-based...

Gökhan qualification tests will be done in 2026. A LRIP contract similar to Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan will be signed before the end of 2026.

Saudi Arabia is negotiating an unprecedented huge order from Turkish defense industry companies. A deal consisting of 100 KAANs and several hundred Kızılelmas is on the table.

I Like the short-range test and the warhead has a very uniform penetrating jet.

Next-gen air warfare Fly higher Fly faster Have a longer range/combat radius Carry longer-range weapons Carry longer-range sensors Let drones do the risky tasks

Baykar can easily sell MPAs developed from P180 Avanti to the Navy and Coast Guard. The Navy will probably ask for weapon integration, such as light anti-ship missiles(Çakır), light torpedoes(Orka) and sonobuoys. Electronic package will also probably completely replaced with Turkish products...

Approximate 3D model. Tri-engine is confirmed. It is rumored that the aircraft is capable of flying faster than Mach 3 above 80000 (24-25km) feet. This means it will be nearly impossible to shoot down this aircraft with ground-based air defense systems if we also take its stealth into account...

F-35 will lose to KAAN in the near future, the USA has no other 5th-gen fighter and the US won't sell 6th-gen to anyone. Saudis don't have many choice till 2040s. J-35, Su-57 or F-35 and KAAN those are potential Saudi targets until 2040. Saudis will either buy F-35 or KAAN i think Saudi...

GCAP is advertised as 6th gen but in fact it is 5.5 gen and mainly a KAAN competitor. It will have some 6th gen capabilities similar to 4.5th gen has some 5th gen capabilities. This is my 6th Gen definition No vertical stabilizers Wide-band stealth Advanced engines (variable cycle, turboramjet...

It is easier nowadays. Aselsan/TUSAŞ can limit output power, wide band coverage etc via software. TUSAŞ can say look it is the same hardware you are getting the same hardware.

This baby can hit a moving target. It is light enough that TB3 can carry at least 2x IHA-122. This baby can attack any Greek naval target at stand-off ranges other than Belharras.

My educated guess is a production capacity of 200-220 FLIRS per year, 16-18 per month. 30 million additional investment will probably add 80-100 additional yearly capacity but of course this won't be a facility that only produces FLIRS there will be EOTS, Aselpod, IRST, DAS etc.
