Saudi Arabia is negotiating an unprecedented huge order from Turkish defense industry companies. A deal consisting of 100 KAANs and several hundred Kızılelmas is on the table.
Next-gen air warfare
Fly higher
Fly faster

Carry longer-range weapons
Carry longer-range sensors
Let drones do the risky tasks
Baykar can easily sell MPAs developed from P180 Avanti to the Navy and Coast Guard. The Navy will probably ask for weapon integration, such as light anti-ship missiles(Çakır), light torpedoes(Orka) and sonobuoys. Electronic package will also probably completely replaced with Turkish products...
Approximate 3D model. Tri-engine is confirmed. It is rumored that the aircraft is capable of flying faster than Mach 3 above 80000 (24-25km) feet. This means it will be nearly impossible to shoot down this aircraft with ground-based air defense systems if we also take its stealth into account...
F-35 will lose to KAAN in the near future, the USA has no other 5th-gen fighter and the US won't sell 6th-gen to anyone. Saudis don't have many choice till 2040s. J-35, Su-57 or F-35 and KAAN those are potential Saudi targets until 2040. Saudis will either buy F-35 or KAAN i think Saudi...
GCAP is advertised as 6th gen but in fact it is 5.5 gen and mainly a KAAN competitor. It will have some 6th gen capabilities similar to 4.5th gen has some 5th gen capabilities.
This is my 6th Gen definition
No vertical stabilizers
Wide-band stealth
Advanced engines (variable cycle, turboramjet...
It is easier nowadays. Aselsan/TUSAŞ can limit output power, wide band coverage etc via software. TUSAŞ can say look it is the same hardware you are getting the same hardware.
This baby can hit a moving target. It is light enough that TB3 can carry at least 2x IHA-122. This baby can attack any Greek naval target at stand-off ranges other than Belharras.
My educated guess is a production capacity of 200-220 FLIRS per year, 16-18 per month. 30 million additional investment will probably add 80-100 additional yearly capacity but of course this won't be a facility that only produces FLIRS there will be EOTS, Aselpod, IRST, DAS etc.
We need to finance a new EJ-200 variant because there is no EJ-200 variant for single-engine configuration. It can be arranged, but I doubt it will come cheap. We should accept the costs on the condition that those engines will be produced in Turkiye. TAEC can locally produce the engines. We...
There are rumors that Turkiye is expected to sign a contract worth 12 billion £ (14.45 billion €) for 20 Eurofighter Tranche 4+20 Eurofighter Tranche 5 (optional). Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. There is also a separate weapons package worth 2.5 billion euros if all options of the...
Red: 2 4x Atmaca launchers there are 2x pedestals on the ground
Blue: A Possible place for 8x Hisar-O+ launchers.
Green: A possible place for a Yalman multipurpose turret.
Assume that you are a Syrian would you return to Syria which is ruled by HTS and has a GDP of 10-20 billion $? We need to cut all of the support for Syrians.
That is 2.5 gigabytes per second. A single PCIE 5.0 lane can transport 3.94 gigabytes per second. It is big for military systems but it is not as big as it sounds in the civilian realm.
