Well our deliveries take priority, if planned rate is 24 per year ( and not immediately, so it will ramp up slowly) then 3-4 years only deliveries to TurAF
Will be too many expensive jets, they are buying 40 new 5th gens, awacs and air defense form China, they seem to have realized the immediacy of their weaknesses after recent incident and won't wait for Kaan and won't have money for it any time soo. Maybe in the future
Oh let's clarify this, do you think people attacking with drones will only use one type of drone? Even small groups have 358s now, they will obviously try to defend their airspace somewhat
You are making the wrong calculation. How much does hurkus cost? How can you risk it against such a cheap drone? A jet will fly too fast and high for 358 but hurkus wont, and 358 can much likely saturate the number of cirits you can put on it, thats assuming cirit can hit such a missile head on...
Manned propeller planes are obsolete. Something like andruil roadrunner or even iran's remote controller anti air cruise missiles can take them down already.
Would make sense if Turkey was involved in increasing the numbers, it would maybe not be possible to buy jf17 for Turkey but if Azerbaijan bought more and stationed them in here temporarily as a stopgap measure under a unified command, that would make sense.
Our current status is getting more and more embarrassing. We need to finalize at least one of F16 B70 or Eurofighter right away, without the signatures we can't even guarantee any delivery date and yet Pakistan and Algeria are getting J35 and Su57 this year
There are difficulties with canopy and launch seat design, we adhered to F35 shape to keep it simple. Redesigning would be too major for now. What we should do is give Kaan ability to fly semi autonomous so pilots cognitive load will be reduced and they can focus on mission systems rather than...
Until 2034 ( or 2-3 more years) , the chances of us buying approx 100 of each of those is not bad, and spain is buying 24 + 24? We have to sell 150-200 more and T7 is still problematic. Hurjet has luck in many markets surprisingly
Navy received ESSM Block 2? So I guess Barbaros MLU would be using them? These are currently the most advanced SAM missiles we have in operation I guess.
If baykar is already making their own KE engine maybe it was wiser to prioritize 6000 for ANKA 3 instead? Baykar doesn't seem too enthusiastic about using Tf 10000 or cooperating with TEI honestly
