You should've just laughed.

I don't get that either. Why does KIZILELMA have to be super maneuverable? It's a low-visible aircraft that supposed to kill the adversary without being detected. Where does maneuverability fits into that picture if the UAV is never meant to go into visual-range. Are canards supposed to be for...

no more tb-2s?

The twin-engine version of it might make other 5th gen fighters(including TFX) obsolete from 2040 onwards, assuming it is fitted with cutting-edge AI that makes the aircraft fully autonomous (no man in the loop for strike decision).

I can't wrap my head around this too. My thinking is that you have to have a seller who has rubles and going to accept your liras in exchange for rubles in order to buy them(Rubles) with liras. Otherwise, the de-facto currency is dollar. And we have to first buy dollar then convert it to ruble...

I thought it was already being integrated to AKINCI. There was some news about it.

Turkey has many irons in the fire. A full-fledged KIZILELMA alone could render any future air "superiority" you speak of obsolete, let alone the rest. We design our stuff and make them. We build industries around them. We gain know-how and export the products. That's the real pride. Not...

It's ok to have some healthy skepticism and to ask the right questions.

That must be a typo.

Yes. Baykar posted on Twitter(among other images)

Supersonic passenger plane? That's pushing the envelope too much.

I think we should tread lightly about exporting TFX. There are so many variables to consider before we hand the most strategic weapon we have to other countries(excluding Azerbaijan).

You're sinking low with these kind of comments. Show some quality.

These are not engines that are subject to the same requirements.

It sends shivers down my spine to think of the possibility that TFX might end up like ALTAY tank. An airplane without an engine is scrap metal. I hope they accept RR's offer and proceed. We can always develop the engine ourselves in more reasonable timelines. RR engine would be our fallback...

It's not ambitious. It's delusional.

I wonder what the revenue sheet of TAI will look like in 2027. There will be so many complete platforms by then. Any guesses on the revenue of TAI in 2027?

Turkiye's TFR is effing 1.7 I doubt if it'll ever go up. Alas, we probably will never reach 100 mil population.

For me the most important thing for us is to become independent from other countries for our aerial platforms. They(our "allies") shouldn't have the power to pull the plug on our projects by not delivering engines and making us their bitch. I don't give rats ass about what our ranking is among...

So many words for evading one simple question. How are our high-tech export rates compared to twenty years ago?
