Is there actually a better engine than TEI PD170 for higher payloads for MALE drones like TB2/3 and Anka S?

Addendum/supplement: I even maintain that they have gone a few steps further in their considerations. They can easily use the 40 F-16 Block 70 + 40 Eurofighters against Russia and most countries in the Middle East if they have to. They can easily send them into some pointless NATO maneuvers on...

Then I ask you, what damage has the F-35 exclusion really caused that it is irreversible for Turkey? I say none worth mentioning because both Turkey with the S-400 and the U.S. with the non-delivery of the F-35 could walk this line without significant damage to either side. Both sides had to go...

For one simple reason: The Americans cannot stop the KAAN project. In fact, I am very sure that they know exactly when the Turkish engine will be ready and what specifications it will have. From the American point of view, a refusal by the US government to export F-110s would be useless and...

@Yasar_TR We are talking about only about the subcomponent Engine. You know very well that the development and production of a high-performance engine takes an average of 8-10 years, that's almost a rule of thumb. And this rule applies to every industrial nation, so unless we have special magic...

I think that the engine will be ready in 2033/34, not before.

This shot will definitely backfire because you will now see a lot more countries getting together in a working group and developing GPU/AI design and sending it as contract work to FABs in China, Taiwan or South Korea for production in a reasonably modern manufacturing facility. This has...

I know ☺️, but we are only talking hypothetically about whether there would be a benefit for Turkish industry if we were invited to join the consortium.

It's not about giving something up, but cooperation on a GEN 6 aircraft really makes sense. TAI KAAN as a GEN 5 makes sense because Turkey does not have its own GEN 4.5 fighter aircraft, and they will not give up this aircraft either, everyone is sure of that. It is simply about having an...

I'm not saying that they have to do it absolutely without ifs and buts, but if the conditions are good they should definitely go along with it, that's immense know-how they get. Do you know how pissed off Germany was when the UK & Co asked Germany to disclose the data of the Eurofighter and its...

Please don't be angry with me, I don't want to drag our industry into the mud and make it look bad. They really have achieved incredible things in just 15 years - nobody questions that, not even foreign countries. But countries like Great Britain, Japan, France and even Germany and Italy are at...

But a technology transfer always takes place somehow because you get an insight into the technology itself and its manufacturing technology to a certain degree. Through the contract work of Boeing and Airbus Cargo and passenger aircraft, license construction of the F-16 and the parts of the F-35...

I know that TAI KAAN will not end with Block 0 or 1, but will get at least 2-3 more blocks, maybe even a very last so-called Long Term Block as the last upgrade, if everything goes well. In other words, we are talking about 20-25 years with major hardware and software upgrades at intervals of...

A serious question, how likely is it that Turkey will participate in the Tempest project after completion of the TAI KAAN project (serial machine), say in 5-6 years. E.g. preliminary talks in 2-3 years to join the Tempest project and run it parallel as a future investment + technology transfer...

At least there's something to laugh about, he reminds me of that gray-haired Greek reporter who always thinks Turkey will attack next month 😂

The angle has been photographed is strange, as if someone had photographed a Video Photo or Videoclip from the Canvas again.

What pressure? International politics works the way those who bark the loudest are like Greece/Cyprus and France. They are under a lot of pressure, if it wasn't for that they would stay cool all the time, they don't because they have no real leverage so they are looking for some. France has lost...

I doubt that they will be able to enforce this, it would end up in a war and Turkey would finally turn away from the West. But let's assume that the EU & USA are or would be behind the Greek/Cypriot plan both politically and militarily. Turkey would ask China/Russia (with a lot of concessions)...

Baykar is not World leader, the Americans are still at least 1-2 levels above us in Sensors, Radar/SAR, Composite Material, RAM and Turboprob or Jet based Engines alone. While the drone program in Turkey was still a feasibility study in the 90s, they already had the MQ1 Predator Drone.

You are right, but it analyzes your own thought processes, whether they make sense or not. Whether they ultimately correspond to the ultimate truth is, of course, another matter. It's just a thought process for future next generation BVR doctrine that very long range radar guided munitions will...
