No, F35A base model cost is actually cheaper than Rafale or Eurofighter. After cutting through unnecessary mental gymnastics, you expect Turkey to transition from 4th gen F16 light weight fighter based air force to heavy twin engine 5th gen platform based AF, but you don't expect ohers to be...

Baykar needs TUSAS's precision engineering skills and instruments. Those non aligned panel edges must be mitigated on the next prototype. Baykar probably needs a new turn-key production line for KE.

Yes. Infrastructure modifications and logistical set up takes place when the procurement takes place. Other than that, I don't think any AF goes through all these just to prove it is worthy of operating 5th gen platforms sometimes in the remote future. like @somegoodusername was asking.

What is a suitable airbase for operating 5th gen fighter?

Our girls did it again.👏👏💪💪 https://www.thedailystar.net/sports/football/news/bangladesh-women-defend-saff-title-2-1-win-against-nepal-3740641 @Isa Khan @Nilgiri @TR_123456

A twin engine Euro-canard cost an absurd amount ($200-230 millions) each with full package. I don't think KAAN will exceed that. As for its purchase, it would depend on specific country's bilateral relation with Türkiye. Pakistan already opted for J-31/35. Even that would also be on a fat LoC...

If you say so. Doesn't look wide enough for MIRVs. Also, MIRVs has no use for conventional warhead. Poor accuracy.

My guesstimate is this is Chenk. Likely Square canister launcher, the engine thrust looks familiar with the one that one tested for Chenk on the ground by Roketsan. We are not just seeing the fins on the warhead because of bad quality.

Happy Republic Day Türkiye!

So? I don't remember denying any overlaps or similarities bwtween two concepts or underpinning operational logic. You said something very specific though. ACE is "the very same reflection of the very same idea if you look a bit carefully". I disagreed and said, it is more than that. Swedes...

It is more than that. I read their dcotrinal publication. Did you? Operating from highways does not mean you are already at significant disadvantage. USAF is the most capable in the world by a wide margin. Still, ACE and operating from highways as part of it is their new CONOP from the get-go...

No. Operating from highways is part of USAF's new Agile combat employment CONOP.

Man, if you are so blind to the clearly extremist phenomenon in your society, the problem will only grow bigger and bigger for everyone.

Should KAAN be able to do that? 'Cause main air bases are vulnerable. Even with AMD bubble.

This thread is about Turkish Missiles and smart ammunition program s. When did it become about Iran? Please ignore off topic posts, report them and do not respond.

What @Kartal1 said is more realistic description of Sinwar's endeavour. However, people who are too invested in this will make it so that fits their narrative.

F-16 carrying air LORA ALBM. F16 carrying Rock ALBM. As for deep bunker busting, if you don't have dedicated bomber fleet then you need to go South Korea's way. Something like Hyunmoo-V that carries a 4/5 tons warhead and can reach more than 50 meters deep underground. After all, a fighter...

Seems like Israeli response is limited in scope, and likely that Iranians will downplay it to de-escalate.

Lol. 😂
