YF-22 ATF TAI KAAN PT1 You can see just how much TAI KAAN was inspired by the YF-22 ATF. It bears a closer resemblance to this version of the Raptor.

Things are finally starting to move forward – it’s taken long enough. I hope they’ll be flying in August or September and that there’ll be loads of Sorties.

How is possible? TAI KAAN and Anka 3 has the same RCS? With the Anka 3, this is still possible, as it features a pure flying-wing design; and thanks to its tailless design, the radar-absorbing materials and coatings can realistically achieve this value. But TAI KAAN is not Tailless and It even...

It is physically and industrially impossible for the KAAN (a huge, twin-engine fighter with conventional round engine nozzles and a supporting central cockpit arch) to have exactly the same radar signature as the much smaller, single-engine F-35 with its completely seamless, one-piece cockpit...

The RCS from F-16 is bit higher 1.5 Normally it had an RCS of 3 to 5 as 70s Design Airframe; after undergoing RAM with Project Have Glass I–V RAM, it was reduced to 1.5 RCS. Eurofighter and Rafale 0.5 to 1 RCS it's 90s Design Airframe with RAM. SU 57 I don't know is speculation nobody know...

IHA 300 ER has 500+ km range and nearly Hypersonic Speed. But other question where is the internal weapon bay?

And how likely do you think it is that the situation in Greece will escalate, and that people there will feel the window of opportunity is closing and that pressure must now be brought to bear by 2028/29 or 2030? I’d say 0.0% – and why? The F-35, F-16 Block 70s and the Rafales will remain...

The situation isn’t quite that bad: the ‘Özgür II’ Upgrade, including the SLEP Upgrade for all Block 30 aircraft, will be completed this year. After that, it will be the turn of the oldest Block 40 aircraft in 2027–28, followed by the Block 50 aircraft in 2029–30. In parallel with this, from...

The S-400 procurement was also a tool of a new, multi-vector foreign policy. Erdoğan wanted to demonstrate that Turkey was no longer merely following orders from the West, but was acting as an independent regional power. Furthermore, a strategic rapprochement with Moscow was absolutely essential...

My only fear is that they will only start delivering the engines from 2030 onwards, and then supply 8–10 engines every 3–4 months – in other words, dragging out the deliveries as much as possible and delaying them further and further, so that we see no positive benefit. We shouldn’t rely on...

I thought TEI was capable of manufacturing at least 60–70% of the engine domestically and assembling it in full under licence. I hope they have pushed ahead with some licensed production here at home.

Believe it or not, according to various newspapers and news reports, most heads of state would have huge problems getting the Gun and ammunition into the EU. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think it was a Prank 😂. refusing it would have been an insult, and it was only then that it dawned on...

Is there actually any new information about the 80 F-110 engines, or was it all just lukewarm fart... aaah air from Trump.

Maybe he’s just had a Shit in his trousers, the way he’s walking with his legs spread apart like that.

No, having more than 80 F-110 engines doesn’t make sense. What’s more, in an emergency, you could still assemble at least 8–10 yourself from spare parts in the depot. On top of that, there are the engines from the 5–6 prototypes, which are practically new and will easily last 5–6 years or more...

The US will never agree to that if we only buy 10 or 20 – they know full well that we would only be buying them for analysis purposes and for standard NATO manoeuvres. They would insist on a minimum quantity, for example 40–60 aircraft or more.

OK… so why all this enthusiasm for the F-35 and the complaints that we’re being left out? Either you buy them or you don’t – unfortunately, the Israelis are involved and will definitely have built in backdoors. I don’t mean to criticise you personally, but it’s a bit of a paradox: you’re angry...

If – and I mean if – the F-35 and the general sanctions were to be lifted. Turkey should purchase a maximum of 80-100 F-35s, and under no circumstances more. 20 F-35Cs for the aircraft carrier ‘Mugem’ 20 F-35Bs for the 10x TCG Anadolu and the 10x TCG Trakya’ (if the latter is still to be...

"Maybe they didn't do that because of me." Why on earth would Turkey help Iran? 😂

Some will certainly disagree, but Güçhan (28000 - 30000 lbf) was essentially a Trump Card 😂, as the MSB Research and Development Centre has neither Factories nor test Center, let alone the technological know-how in Engine Manufacturing or the relevant metallurgical formulas and expertise. I...
