Well I think we will do fine, but F-35 can be combined with all the capabilities of aegis ship and all the US satellites, uavs etc. as well. Near our borders we should have pretty good coverage from all sort of stuff like HAKIM and what not, and the actual sensors we can put on KAAN i am...
If KAAN can match F35 level of speed and agility thats sufficient for us. In fact at this stage being able to reach F35 for any given cabability is more than enough for us. If we have any extras that's nice to have, but not necessary.
You frequent here so I thought you would know, anyways 3 ships in construction and 4 more to follow for istifs, and TF2000 has gone through a lot of design iterations but we have been hearing any day now for the finalisation of design and start of construction
Which region will be in FSA control?
Wait didn't FSA dissolve into SNA? How is sdf going to dissolve into it, how is Turkey going to support something SDF has dissolved into?
Turkey by nature of it geography is closer to conflict zones, but we also have tankers etc. (That will need renewal in near future). A slightly less efficient engine for KAAN does not make that much of a difference for us. America needs to have a stealth fighter with enough range to take off...
Single barrel sounds ok. Won't be used too much so shouldn't be using too much space and weight. F35 still has the useless 25mm gatling that is unable to hit targets right? Did they ever fix it?
Would be great if they capture a few more and learn to use them effectively, combined with EW support, they should have much better chance defending against air strikes
If that is indeed the case, it makes sense. Özgür 2 may not be fully ready now but by 2028 it probably will enter serial production, so those kits wouldnt save time. I was expecting something like a year for delivery
