Completely disagree. You are too out of touch with majority of the nation to say that. You just gotta see the level of sexism in average conscript dormitory. Though it would be good education for most to learn how to behave around woman, it would take resources from the army, not help it. We do...
Well yes but a quarter of what KAAN can carry may be more than other planes with lower thrust to weight ratio can. At least its got two huge engines. A single engine plane might be even more dependent on Catobar if it isn't magic airframe like Gripen or something
By the time we build aircraft carrier, sam systems and 5th generation aircraft will be even more common. Hürjet, or even twin engine something based on Hürjet ( ie F18 A/B copy) is simply not good enough and not worth building an aircraft carrier for. Even the drones that accompany it are low...
Well you still need a naval trainer too so, making a variant with operational capacity wouldn't hurt as a stopgap, until eventually a Naval Kaan or whatever proper plane is planned.
I think the point was if a single AKINCI can do like 10% of performance of E7, a bunch of them can effectively create a networked alternative. Having multiple in different directions can provide significant benefits in some detection scenarios.
Well we are not America and they have alternatives. We won't be able to negotiate to the same extent they do. They will probably ask for more independence and special customizations that others wouldn't give, and we will do what they want cuz money.
Eh for ships we have already tested stuff like Yalman on IDA, how difficult would it be to just add vehicle mounted version of sungur on all ships? Hisar should have its own launchers anyway.
