It doesn’t, after all, depend on the success or failure of the Hürjet programme with British or European buyers. The Target Markets for the Hürjet Trainer and the LCA are Africa, the Middle East, Turkish Staates, Asia and perhaps South America as well. However, this would mean phasing out the...

Nobody is saying that Turkey should naively enter into an alliance and then allow itself to be taken advantage of. I do understand your concern, but there is simply no time left for hesitation: the US and Israel, together with India, France, Greece and Cyprus, are putting pressure on Arab states...

No one is claiming that we are attacking – we are supplying Saudi Arabia with TB2 Drones and Ammunition, as well as C4ISR data for defence purposes; moreover, the Houthis, as an organisation, are officially stateless; they are, after all, a militia, and therefore a proxy force. Iran would have...

What Turkey can already offer Saudi Arabia in the coming weeks and months is the sharing of information on Turkey’s Radar and C4ISR capabilities for the early detection of attacks, so that counter-measures can be initiated – this alone makes a huge difference. The next step would be to supply...

That is correct, but the Technology and Expertise we have acquired – both Software and Hardware – are based on US technology from the late 200Xs, the development of which was completed in Turkey in 2015 as part of the CCIP programme. The Tranche 4 Eurofighter is already based on technology from...

Don’t underestimate this: the Eurofighters that are coming will also bring with them a significant transfer of technology, including MRO capabilities. It is not a question of copying them exactly, but of understanding them – their logic as fighter aircraft and other approaches to...

YF-22 ATF TAI KAAN PT1 You can see just how much TAI KAAN was inspired by the YF-22 ATF. It bears a closer resemblance to this version of the Raptor.

Things are finally starting to move forward – it’s taken long enough. I hope they’ll be flying in August or September and that there’ll be loads of Sorties.

How is possible? TAI KAAN and Anka 3 has the same RCS? With the Anka 3, this is still possible, as it features a pure flying-wing design; and thanks to its tailless design, the radar-absorbing materials and coatings can realistically achieve this value. But TAI KAAN is not Tailless and It even...

It is physically and industrially impossible for the KAAN (a huge, twin-engine fighter with conventional round engine nozzles and a supporting central cockpit arch) to have exactly the same radar signature as the much smaller, single-engine F-35 with its completely seamless, one-piece cockpit...

The RCS from F-16 is bit higher 1.5 Normally it had an RCS of 3 to 5 as 70s Design Airframe; after undergoing RAM with Project Have Glass I–V RAM, it was reduced to 1.5 RCS. Eurofighter and Rafale 0.5 to 1 RCS it's 90s Design Airframe with RAM. SU 57 I don't know is speculation nobody know...

IHA 300 ER has 500+ km range and nearly Hypersonic Speed. But other question where is the internal weapon bay?

And how likely do you think it is that the situation in Greece will escalate, and that people there will feel the window of opportunity is closing and that pressure must now be brought to bear by 2028/29 or 2030? I’d say 0.0% – and why? The F-35, F-16 Block 70s and the Rafales will remain...

The situation isn’t quite that bad: the ‘Özgür II’ Upgrade, including the SLEP Upgrade for all Block 30 aircraft, will be completed this year. After that, it will be the turn of the oldest Block 40 aircraft in 2027–28, followed by the Block 50 aircraft in 2029–30. In parallel with this, from...

The S-400 procurement was also a tool of a new, multi-vector foreign policy. Erdoğan wanted to demonstrate that Turkey was no longer merely following orders from the West, but was acting as an independent regional power. Furthermore, a strategic rapprochement with Moscow was absolutely essential...

My only fear is that they will only start delivering the engines from 2030 onwards, and then supply 8–10 engines every 3–4 months – in other words, dragging out the deliveries as much as possible and delaying them further and further, so that we see no positive benefit. We shouldn’t rely on...

I thought TEI was capable of manufacturing at least 60–70% of the engine domestically and assembling it in full under licence. I hope they have pushed ahead with some licensed production here at home.

Believe it or not, according to various newspapers and news reports, most heads of state would have huge problems getting the Gun and ammunition into the EU. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think it was a Prank 😂. refusing it would have been an insult, and it was only then that it dawned on...

Is there actually any new information about the 80 F-110 engines, or was it all just lukewarm fart... aaah air from Trump.

Maybe he’s just had a Shit in his trousers, the way he’s walking with his legs spread apart like that.
