The total number of Kaan prototypes planned keep varying over time. Now it looks like 4-6 excluding the P0 I guess. They tend to finish the job with a smaller number of prototypes as the number was more like 8 before. On the other hand this number may be with the F110 engine alone and the TF35k...

Absolutely, however this can be replaced by unmanned systems going forward. Still valuable experience can be employed but on smaller planes perhaps. In which case this kind of job can be referred as manned SOJ I guess.

So we can actually afford to make ships for other navies than our navy alone, good to know that. Recently European navies gave up their production slots to Canada for their $44bn submarine deal forgetting about the Russia threat.

Probably the TF35k engine took a new turn in its design process and has more impressive specs now or its impressive specs have been further validated in digital form. I think this is also evident from the calligraphy work done on the artistic impression piece of the TF35k which Mr Aksit...

Our aviation industry has been quick in making many of the products they have made. In the best case scenario P1 can join the Airforce after a few months of bootcamp, I am dreaming. Imagine P1 P2 and P3 join the force mid 2027, only takes some daredevil topgun pilots to take up the challenge...

What matters at this point is how complete the P1 will be of which we have no clue. Also I have seen the mention of the introduction of 2 additional prototypes within the year instead of one, that is P1 P2 and P3 in all. Needs to be confirmed. Will be great if true.

F16 engines are supposed to be single engines so their usability on Kaan is questionable. We can probably make like 10 Kaan with available engines. It does bring an initial capability but our best interest lies in bringing the TF35k engine into the picture. I think the ability of the US making...

Of course, they can possibly delegate some of the test work to TAI test pilots too.

It is a fighter engine you don't need certification for it. When the air force thinks the plane checks all the boxes for metrics that are important to them that is certification enough. Even the FAA of USA had left the certification of Boeing 737 max passenger plane to the Being company ironically.

If production F110 engines do not get delivered in time the TF35k engines can be employed on a fast track and there would not be any delay in Kaan production. If the F110 engines get delivered then TF35k engine can wait until 2029-2030 to be used in flight tests and 2031 in production of later...

Gross Foreign Debt of Türkiye, Net Foreign Debt is @ $ 201 bn of which 94 bn belongs to the government https://www.tcmb.gov.tr/wps/wcm/connect/TR/TCMB+TR/Main+Menu/Istatistikler/Odemeler+Dengesi+ve+Ilgili+Istatistikler/Dis+Borc/

I am supporting decisions of the leadership and I am asking for more. There is a slippery ground in the geopolitical power games and we have to juggle our assets wisely. Our capabilities and responsibilities are changing quickly. As the MoD disclosed last week there are 4-5 other countries that...

I don't think so. What do you know about who needs what.

Türkiye is becoming more assertive in our claims of sea regions and need to backup with more navy.

Probably robot miners take over, I don't see why not.

Remember the discussions we were having a few years back; can Akıncı shoot down a fighter jet or not, I was saying it can given the opportunity.

I don't have details of an agreement so I can't be sure.

Hürjet LCA is just a prototype, the engine can only become a problem when ordered in high numbers.

Interesting, but what are all the writings on the wall for.

Hürjet is 12 ton Kızıllma is 8.5 ton Anka3 is 7.5 ton A 12 ton block-1 launcher is easy considering 45 ton for steam catapults. I think MUGEM can ditch the ramp already and start with the block-1 launcher immediately. A block-2 launcher should be 32 ton capable for a Kaan junior.
