Guys, let’s get real.
With it’s educational push and a lot of hard work and sacrifice after the Korean war, South Korea has become one of the top dogs in the East when it comes to industrial and technological development. Their achievement can be nothing short of enviable.
They have not...
It can still prove to be a testing and development engine for the interim period, until our TF10000 and TF6000 engines have matured.
In fact even the Honeywell can provide similar thrust level engines in the form of F124 and F125 to be suitable for both UAVs.
But none of the foreign engines...
I don’t quite understand what you mean with above question. But…..
As I understand it, we originally, have chosen to use IVIEWS (Integrated Viper Electronic Warfare Suite) of Northrop Grumman on our new F16V70 planes should we buy it as it is offered.
But above article claims that we aspire to...

Well according to this news, the real stumbling block between Türkiye and US is :
1. Our insistence...

According to latest info, Tusas is developing a new jet powered kamikaze UAV called “AYAZ” .
We know that the Simsek-K could be used as a kamikaze UAV with datalinked range of 150km, and with fire and forget range of...
All your hypotheses are based on cannibalising F110 engines of F16 fighters.
Our F16s are single engine planes and use F110GE129C engine.
KAAN uses a pair of twin engine certified F110GE129E engines.
It is not just the FADEC program that is different; but the engine mounting interface is...

This can be the most important scientific breakthrough of the century regarding jet engine technologies.
NASA has managed to produce nickel süper alloys that not only manage to stay in shape and unaffected at well above 1093...
No! You were not using the whole statement. That is what I don’t like. If you omit those highlighted words then it loses the real meaning.
You can at least be man enough to accept that you made a mistake.
Mate, get your facts right! Read what is written carefully again please.
It says the deal is worth up to 8bn.
In other words Not necessarily 8bn in total.
If it says worth; then you may not necessarily pay that amount at the end of the deal.
If it says up to , then there is a leeway in the...

According to this news, Qatar is trying to off load all 24 Typhoons in it's inventory.
We should either forget Oman's planes or add these to our purchase...
You can never rely on any country in general. The friendship between countries depend on mutual advantages. Our close relations with Great Britain before the WW1 (remember war of Crimea) helped us to order those 2 ships in 1911 and in 1914. GB empire wanted an Ottoman Empire that was on their...
Bro, please forget about this fixation about tranche numbers.
Yes, as the tranche numbers increase the development level increases too. But higher tranche numbers don’t necessarily denote a better performing or higher technology plane.
UK is producing a Typhoon today that is based on an...
My mistake! Should have read it more carefully. KTF5500, surely for a UAV. As you mention if mature enough the prototype UAV should be capable to accommodate the prototype engine too.
ECRS-MK1 is actually built on the basic ECRS-MK0. There isn’t much difference between the two. But the MK1 has more developed T/R modules that allows it to be cooler and improve in performance. Electronic Attack facility is there. It allows for more intricate retrofitted EW and SAR capability...
Why shouldn’t they? KF21 is in a fairly mature state already as far as prototype testing goes.
Turkiye is envisaging flying TF35000 on KAAN prototypes by 2028.
How was EJ200 flown on Typhoons you reckon? First technology demonstrator flight was made in 1986. Then Typhoon proper flew in 1994...
Tusas, after such a long break, at their own admission, had lost most of their engineering staff and expertise that they had accumulated during F16 project.
They needed new blood and experts to include in the team that was to develop KAAN.
If Tusas went on the international job market and tried...
