This is a concept and will never materialize. The mock-up is made to inspire of what a wingman could look like. In reality, an actual wingman from Airbus would have much more conventional designs.

At least with Bangladesh's support, they could create a friendly buffer state on a part of the border.

You mistook MILDEN for MILGEM, brother.

Any reason given? Not a good sign in this critical period.

TAI and TEI Excel in R&D, however, have so far failed in the serial production phase. TEI has developed many engines (PD series etc.) but the production output is simply too low and slow. This must be frustrating for Baykar since they have already developed an alternative to the PD series, and...

Maybe Baykar has had enough by The turtle pace of TAI and TEI when it comes to mass production. Baykar will produce 300+ drones in 2024 while TEI most likely can only deliver a few dozens (at most to Baykar). I am really starting to like the way Baykar is heading. They identify the weakest link...

While it may seem redundant to have two jet engine producers/developers, it can also benefit Turkiye through competition i.e. Baykar vs TAI. Baykar has a ton of money and they need to invest it to increase shareholder value (instead of paying it out to investors as dividends). Fergani Space and...

Marketing.

Apparently the PPK shot down an AKSUNGUR. Can anyone confirm the validity of this video?

This guy is a complete fool.

" KEMANKEŞ 2 is an indigenous and original mini intelligent cruise missile that Baykar developed for the purpose of striking strategically-important targets. The KEMANKEŞ missile family was named after the legendary archers in Turkish history, who were known for hitting the bull’s eye – even...

Looks bigger and costlier. Hopefully Kemankes 1 is still being produced.

Brother, all this things are nice on paper but they don't work in reality. in 2024, 50% of USAF F-35s were unable to conduct any meaningful combat missions. on a global level nearly 70% of all F-35s have significant deficiencies and cannot be considered combat ready. The US is even...

Be specific brother. It is easy to use intangible sentences like "platform maturity across the domains" and "sensor fusion". Which at the end of the day are just fancy american sales tricks to make customers overpay for the F-35s. F-35 is not even a combat ready platform TODAY, with over 2/3 of...

The arguments made for KAAN Block 10 being a 4.5+ generation fighter is primarily related to engines. Where is F-35s supercruise? Is F-35 then 4.5+ generation as well? If I am not mistaken, BURFIS will be ready for KAAN Block 10. As mentioned, in some aspects Block 10 will be superior to F-35...

KAAN Block 10 will be vastly superior to Rafale and F-16 Block 70 - there is no question about this. KAAN Block 10 should be able to present a challenge to F-35s - from official statements it will be superior in some aspects and inferior in other. Greece would be exceptionally stupid if they...

Ramp seems finished.

Fergani Space tested their space engine for their satellites for the first time. I have a feeling that Fergani Space will make Turkiye a frontrunner in space, just like they made Turkiye a frontrunner in UAV/UCAVs.

Turkiye TFR is a serious risk to the country's ambition of becoming a world power. If something doesn't change drastically, Turkiye could be forced to import immigrants from Central Asia (which wouldn't be too big of a problem). Uzbekistan in particular has a booming population.

Folks are putting too much emphasis on F-16s. They will not make a difference. They are too few, too light, outdated and comes too late. Russia has developed the ability to strike air assets while they are on ground (Nearly all of Ukraine's Mig-29s have been destroyed on ground recently)...
