Lol Hurjet program is different and has nothing to do with how the Kaan program progresses. Italian companies were a part of the project from the start. It is not the same thing.

You can't fly this fully digital aircraft without a flight computer and you can't buy a flight computer from somewhere and fly your aircraft with it. It doesn't work that way. Probably an early version or another flight computer that is enough to make the first flight is used while the flight...

There are around 30 F-16 block 30s in the inventory of TurAF. 8th aircraft was delivered in July 2021 so even with a snail speed of 1 fighter per month it should be finished by now.

For you yes, for me no. Anyway here is some news from 2021. It says 8th fighter is delivered https://www.savunmasanayist.com/modernize-edilen-sekizinci-f-16-blok-30/

There is no structural mod right now. That project is finished. TAI delivered all of the F-16 block 30s modernized under the structural modernization project.

No.

Doubters gonna doubt, and haters gonna hate. Murad is better than APG-83 in every parameter with the possible exception of software.

I expect another devaluation after the elections. 1 dollar will be 40 TL.

Yes, the reference target always has a 1m² RCS for Turkish products. I expect Murad to have a detection range of 150km+ range for 1m² target Burfis should have 250km+ range for the same target. For reference, APG-83 has 90km+ detection range for a 1m² target.

This is a difficult question to answer. Given ranges are always rough figures there are so many parameters that affect radar range like; Radar frequency: Lower the frequency longer the range and X-band covers 8-12GHz and the difference between 8 and 12 is big. Pulse repetition frequency: Higher...

Yeah Tapered SLOTTED Antenna TSA for short. In Academia people prefer to call it the Vivaldi antenna.

Do you mean notch or patch? Because the notch antenna is a slot antenna. Anyway, MURAD has a notch antenna.

Nope total 96 cells. 32x in the front and 64x in the middle.

There should be a fourth row we can't see it from this perspective because of the main mast. Ok, I'm terrible at paint but this should give some perspective.

No there are 64 cells. There should be a fourth row behind the mast.

This is not a test. Neither an official test where SSB or DzKK is present nor a factory test. This is a stunt for the media.

"6G GCAP" bold claims. The last time I checked there were problems between GCAP partners, many supposed 6G features were trimmed down to realistic levels (aerodynamic design is similar to KAAN) and the cost per unit is estimated at 300+ million. There is no willingness from the UK to make KSA a...

Ideally both. But we all know Saudis have no such capability. We might give production of some parts to capable Saudi companies and i think that is where Saudi technical contribution ends.

There are 3 F-35 versions. US version, Israeli version and F-35 given to all other partners. The US spent a good amount to turn Turkish F-35s into US version.

Saudis want to be a part of the Kaan project.
