MKE 2025 yearly report says that they finished RnD for Radar absorbent Nano materials that can be used as structural elements in aircrafts. Doubt it would be used in Kaan but I don't know where else to put it
I think it really is a different missile from UAV-230. Both Roketsan and Baykar called it Jet-230 and doesn't have the spinning tailfins UAV-230 has as far as I can see
Another CH-95 kill by Sudan army AKINCI. This is the 5th confirmed air to air engagement by Akıncı
Edit: it also destroyed another CH-95 which was on the ground, probably the one that crashed on its own
By integration do you mean physical integration, like docking etc? Because Advent already provides all the necessary software integration that is why SSB is making it's integration necessary for all USV's
There is a big difference between pessimistic scenario and impossible scenario:
1. Israel has 48 F-35's total, a jet infamous for very low combat readiness, even at 40% combat readiness this means 22 air worthy frames at given time.
2. Likewise Greece has 150 F-16's and 24 Rafales. We know...
But that 11 km range is for an incoming missile, even though air launching would increase its range, NEZ against a fighter jet would be very short since it won't be as agile as dedicated A2A missiles. Could be a good C-UAS option but is that really a job for KAAN?
Roketsan will expand the production capacities of newly acquired Bolu and Ankara factories with Assan tender. Especially for Tayfun warhead production and Guided 155mm shells
From what Arda mevlütoğlu said in Kaner Kurt's video. The engines will be produced by GE, we are not looking for licensed production. I don't remember the exact timestamp because it has been a while
Siper 1 and Siper 2 is the same system just different missiles.
Someone made a study about how much systems we would need and their result was:
- 16 SİPER batteries
- 30 HİSAR-RF batteries
- 50 HİSAR-O batteries
- 60 KORKUT batteries
- 90 set GÜRZ
At minumum and:
22 x SİPER 30 x HİSAR-RF...
1.47 billion dollars additional Air Defence serial production deal between SSB and Aselsan.
Edit: sorry it is 1.47 billion Euro not dollars so more like 1.68 billion dollars
There not being any new information is exactly what we want. The Congress was notified about the sale and they had 15 days to block it. No news means everything going as intented
Kozan Erkan says that there are many F-16 Özgurs with AESA radars under testing not just one. And despite no official deliveries they are even placed in some squadrons for training.

Apparently the motors were removed from Kaan-p0. When asked for the reason head engineer said "We don't have motors to waste". Kinda expected but also interesting
What are your thoughts on FNSS hybrid with Alka laser integrated? I thought it was a promising project since you already need a big battery for the laser itself and electric vehicle can easily run the laser and the engine from the same battery
