According to whom? Did the air force specify such numbers? When was the last fighter jet downed in a dogfight? Turkiye shot 1 Russian, 2 Syrian jets (none of them in a dogfight). We should realize that warfare has changed, we go to 5th generation and in 5th generation 2 things are very...

@IC3M@N FX Hürjet as trainer is not outdated at all, on the contrary look what is developed in the US (Boeing - Saab T7 Red Hawk) as future trainer that is going to be used from 2024 on. Sure who would not be dreaming about being technologically ahead of the US but let us a little bit...

Good question, we do not hear much about that anymore. After some initial deliveries we stopped seeing any news regarding Super Mushak. Could be that it is halted since T_129 to Pakistan is also on halt, i do not know and speculate here.

I would not even purchase the F16, with such relation buying F16 will do no any good

Depends on the missile, if you have a dedicated counter missile than why not

Like what? Early versions of KE won't have AESA as far as open sources tell

They are working on weapons integrations, nothing shady or secret. What is KE worth without weapons? All these tests with different type of bombs, missiles from different weapon station and different loads will take a while. Nothing unusual!

What puzzles me is that the UMTAS missile is uncovered, would this not pose a problem in naval conditions, salt water etc.?

I hope Germany blocks EF2000 with whole my heart. At least Germans would disable Turkiye to make idiotic moves

Making the Palestinian issue a state policy is wrong from the begin on, that aside I do not understand switching from bad to worse. US does not give F35, so we demand F16. Same story US does not give F16, so we demand EF2000. Utter BS policies are followed, instead of wasting billions on...

FPV drones with autonomy already beat human champions like Bogeyman showed. I can't remember which film it was (seen so many sci fi, iron man I think) but there was one film in which the hunter has drones attached to his suite, much like the miniature version of these FPV drones and on command...

Not at all! How many EW installations does Turkiye have for instance? Will it be enough for a long frontline, like in the case of Ukraine - Russia? Nope! No any country has that amount of EW systems available in sufficient numbers. Current FPV's are radio controlled and vulnerable against EW...

There were Turkish UN troops in 1993 during food aid program as protection at the port of Mogadishu

If it was exposed we would already hunt for the AD systems. We don't know. We also do not know whether our drones were shot down (except one in Syria that was downed by the US F16) or crashed due to internal failure (is possible too) What we do know is that we lost 4 drones within 6 months (2...

Manpads maybe not, what about medium range AD? Do we know what the US has handed the YPG? We lost 4 drones since June this year, 2 of them in the Kandil area

And what exactly is wrong with aviation safety? TAI was present at the Teknofest, just did not bring the Hurjet that had her planned test procedures. Do you have any idea how much it costs to break of test procedures, cancel activities of the personnel involved etc. etc. And for what? To show...

Has nothing to do with confidence, TAI is conducting test flights and did not interupt the tests for Teknofest. 16th or 17th testflight was conducted during Teknofest was going on.

What is the empty weight?

As far as I have understood in twin-engine configuration one of the engine turbine work clockwise and the other engine turbine counter clockwise to neutralize the eddy vortexes created by the engines. Why? Don't ask me, someone with turbojet engine knowledge may know. Twin engines are most...
