the TB2 already can already take off from roads in fact the Libyans had the TB2s use roads to do their sorties.

I'll take that as them sending an overly optimistic message out in order to win the TF-X engine projected.

The way TEI talks about the TF-6000 engine is that they can use it to make a more powerful engine just by upscaling it. so my question is if it is possible to do that in order to rapidly create an engine for Hurjet or is TEI just oversimplifying things and downplaying the difficulty?

Couldn't TEI build an engine for Hurjet in the future?

The Canadians are one of the biggest gas and oil countries in the world as such they may have the expertise that Turkey lacks.

Couldn't TEI upgrade the TF-10000 engine just by increasing its size so that its Specifications can match that of the 404 engine? Sadly Turkey is struggling as well, with only 3% of Turkey's exported products being high-tech, with 36% being medium-tech and 61% being low-tech. Surprisingly the...

The problem isn't just retreating before encirclement it is doing so before the pincer tightens; if the pincer becomes too tight Ukrainian forces will not only have a harder time resupplying the front but also a difficult time withdrawing Ukrainian forces in a safe manner.

Talking about TEKNOFEST has anyone heard anything about a lithography machine that was rumoured to have been shown in one of them?

They used fly-by-wire to make the aircraft stable. The X-36 is not the only tailless aircraft that used thrust vectoring the Lockheed Martin x-44 manta didn't have any tail surfaces, and it seems like it didn't make used of any Elevons/ailerons and flaps either. I disagree with that...

The loss of Bakhmut (yes it is an important transport hub) isn't important what is important is that about 13 % or more of the Ukrainian military is going to be encircled. you are right about the time not favouring Ukrainian. One of the reasons why Russia performed so poorly was because the...

I do agree that Russia has the hardware side, but I'm not so sure about the electronics for example, Russian planes use insecure, non-military navigation equipment like off-the-shelf GPS systems that the pilots strap onto the cockpits using duct tape. I would rank the Russians lower because they...

Although the restoration of the Turkic alphabet may sound nice on paper it is extremely impractical in practice plus there is a much bigger linguistic problem in Turkey such as the growing rate of Turks randomly interjecting English words into random Turkish sentences while thinking that makes...

Thanks for the informative post but I wasn't really asking for a traditional type of fighter but one that doesn't have vertical stabilizers, From what I understand Fluidic Thrust Vectoring might be necessary for fighters that lack vertical stabilizers. That said I may be wrong on this, if...

i wouldn't put Russia so high.

Well, that is a disappointment since thrust vectoring would of open the door for an aircraft like the X-44 MANTA to be operational in the future, are there any plans to build an engine with thrust vectoring in the future?

I know that the vertical stabilizers are primarily bad for radar visibility, but most of the 6th gen plans seem to still be depicted as still having them. I should also mention that the US Navies 6th gen F/A-XX design seems to be depicted with Canard, which also affects radar visibility. I...

I do not trust the Russian's not to cut corners during construction, not to mention they will be running the plant for years, meaning that turkey is still paying Russia for energy. I also think that the Russians will never give Turkey any ToT but with Korea, Turkey could develop a positive...

If this is true, and the Type 23 ships are going to take more than two years to become operational, then Turkey should just start to produce the Dearsan F 142 frigate instead.

Does the engine family TEI is working on having the capability to do thrust vectoring?

Even if it doesn't, it will still be a better option than the Russian deal.
