    TR Air Defence Programs

    It doesn't matter what costs are counted towards 24 billion. This is a huge amount. It is likely to be allocated for the next 10 years, so approximately $ 2.4 billion per year. We won't have any air defense problems by 2035. Erdoğan mentions 2030, but this is the target date to reach %5 total...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    We should upgrade our 6 F-35s to block 4 standards, with the exception of radar, and take delivery that way. Lockheed offers a Block 4 upgrade without the nose bulkhead change for older F-35s. This way, we can use older APG-81 radars with block 4 configuration. The downside is that unless the...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    TEI has a pooling system of engineers and scientists, but TF-6000 and TF-10000 still suffer from a lack of workforce. Every available resource is redirected to the TF-35000 project. Luckily, like %60-70 percent of the TF-6000 were completed before dedicating everything to TF-35000. At this point...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    I think the Navy should invest in this missile. We should put Tayfun block 3 on board Navy ships ASAP. Roketsan should do studies to see whether it is possible to integrate Tayfun Block 3 to Midlas VLS, or whether it is possible to replace some of the harpoon launchers on the deck. Tayfun 3...

    NATO NATO Summit 2026 | Ankara

    Current plan is 2 squadrons for the airforce+1 wing for the navy if the US removes the ban on F-35 sales. There are no plans to buy more F-35s. The old plan of buying 100+ F-35s is dead, and it won't come back; it will stay dead. By the end of 2032, the Turkish Air Force will have 56...

    NATO NATO Summit 2026 | Ankara

    No. The initial Turkish plan was to deploy F-35 and Kaan side by side in a low-hi combo similar to F-16 and F-15. The Turkish plan was to buy 100F-35A+16F-35B+120+ KAAN. Currently, Turkish plans are to buy 40 F-35A+16 F-35B if possible and create 2 squadrons, 1 in Eskişehir and another one in...

    Correct. It was certainly not the first test. IMHO, this was the last test of the prototype qualification. After this deliveries will start and a random serial production missile will be tested among the first delivered products. This is called an acceptance test.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Kaan is delayed due to subsystems delays. I doubt we will see KAAN P1 flying before the NATO summit. We want to integrate certain subsytems on the flight prototype before the first flight. The original plan was to execute the P1 first flight with bare minimum systems at early 2026/Q1 2026 and...
