It's top 20% affected by the remaining 80%. They don't even try. I mean literally. They don't try. That statistics means nothing unless you're comparing it with China or Korea's uni exams because it's an outcome of the system.
In that case "Istif+" would not be Istif+. It would be a new class in Milgem family. Which would be a weird branding because 3k and 5-6k tons are in different classes. One being light frigate while the other being a heavy frigate. If that's the case, I will assume Istif+ is a name to brand the...
@Anmdt I remember your posts about Istif class being in the limits of the design. Do you still think the same and do you happen to know anything about an Istif+ project?
Work force in defence industry is up by ~20 thousand in 5 years between 2020 (75k+) and 2025 (100k).
As per companies, Aselsan went from ~8k to ~16k (2020-2026)
Tusaş from ~9k to ~16k (2020-2026)
Is the number of engineers and technicians really a bottleneck for major ex-JSF production...
Isn’t that a new aircraft from scratch? And how big is it going to be? Kaan will carry 1000lbs class internally. 2000 requires an iwb as big as F-35A’s.
Guys, 0.1 for KE and 1 for EF/Rafale was unserious numbers. And we probably will never know the exact numbers. What I meant was KE is not as stealth as F-35 or such and the main reason for this is money. It’s not about the rcs values but the comparisons. KE’s RCS values are probably in...
I said these not @Huelague so I will answer. If we consider KE's RCS value (which we don't know) as 0.1m², 4.5th gens RCS values as 1m² and 5th gen RCS values as <0.01; this makes KE's RCS values similar to 4.5th gens more than it is similar to 5th gens. With "similar", I don't mean "same" but...
Better composites = less rcs
Better composites = more money
Better ram coating = less rcs
Better ram coating = more money
Better rcs optimized body shape&curves = more production cost
F-35 ~100 million dollars
KE <50 million dollars
Same goes for B-2 and F-35. Is B-2 smaller?
If you asked why...
You talk like we are vulnerable against 250 jets and there's also 50 impossible targets. First, we can match all of their 4th gen jets. We may not have enough Özgür F16's but we have E-7T's. We can easily match over Aegean. The only problem is the F-35's. We do not have any fighter jets to...
There is no export version for F-35. Only difference is the radar and the restrictions for APG-85 is not only for us. It is effective for any air force other than USAF/USN. All we can expect for it to be exported to UK or Israel.
Current talks are for the 6 F-35's that were already finished...
