Question… How likely is it that this is an attempt to pressure the U.S. and GE into supplying the first batches of the TAI KAAN with F-110 engines? If it is merely a cheap copy with a shorter service life of 1,000 to 2,000 operating hours, it would serve its purpose until the TF-35000 is...

What puzzles me is this: Why do we need an additional engine with 42,000 lbf of thrust? The TEI TF 35000 will end up at 38,000–39,000 lbf in a few years anyway—it was no different with the F-110 129 and the F-110 132. Why develop a completely new engine just to gain an extra 3,000–4,000 lbf…...

Wasn't there talk of installing the radar modules on both wings and the tail as well?

You’re right in principle, but the TF-35000 engine is still too expensive—it’s not a disposable product. It makes no sense to install it in a single-jet configuration on a platform, whether operated as a hybrid (manned/unmanned) or fully unmanned. In my opinion, the Hürjet should never have...

I doubt there will be a Hürjet 2; every country tends to opt for a mix of manned and unmanned aircraft High-end: KAAN, GCAP, NGAD, FCAS, F-35/F-22 Mid-range: Multi-role Combat Drones of various Classes Low-end: CAS, COIN, and air surveillance, drone command -> Hürjet, T-50, T-7 Red Hawk & Co...

What else has TAI sold so far besides the Hürjet?

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/saha-2026-oncesi-savunmada-yeni-yol-haritasi/ Space Dome? Does anyone know exactly what that means? A new generation of exo-atmospheric air defense systems? Like THAAD or Arrow 3? Or sounds as if they wanted to set up a special section at the SAHA 2026...

Correct me if I'm wrong... The 3rd+ generation (TEI TF 35000) must contain at least 6% rhenium for 1580–1650 °C The 4th generation must contain high levels of both rhenium and ruthenium for 1650–1750 °C

When examining the European security architecture, one must set aside Great Britain—which is pursuing an independent course regardless, due to its separate MoUs with Turkey and its withdrawal from the EU. The focus, rather, is on the core of the EU: Germany, France, Austria, Scandinavia, the...

I told you that the agenda that has been targeting Turkey and turkish Goverment and the Turkish population (Citizens) in Germany and Europe since 2015—and which relies on a negative portrayal—is a prelude to a military conflict. It won’t happen immediately, but in 6 to 8 years, given the...

Are you really serious? Turkey waged war against the PKK and its affiliated groups for more than 30–40 years; for several decades, these groups were supported by the West in order to contain Turkey and keep it below the threshold of total escalation—to control it, slow it down, and keep its...

Ultimately, no matter how you look at it, T129 failed actually to be exported to other countries because of the US engine, which is precisely why a domestic engine was developed. There’s no point in looking for exact equivalents; I could also point to countless Russian-licensed systems in the...

“There’s no denying that GE has an economic interest in the Indian market—that’s just basic accounting. But you’re mixing up two completely different things here: industrial dependence and actual export capability. Yes, systems like the Gripen or the Hürjet also use GE engines. The crucial...

Iran didn’t realize that within 1–2 years it would lose a massive amount of influence in Syria and Iraq, and in the process become even more weakened and isolated. Only to be subjected to massive bombing afterward. They bet big on their agenda and lost big. Iran won’t recover from this in the...

Maybe GE just doesn't see a market for it... and the F404-GE-IN20 simply isn't worth the effort—everyone else uses the off-the-shelf F-404, which can be scaled. We need to take an honest look at the facts here, without the usual PR spin: The fact that deliveries of the Tejas Mk1A have stalled...

Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me either. Maybe it refers to being ready for mass production—not just mastering the technology, but being able to manufacture and scale it industrially.

It’s all just for show… Don’t focus on what’s being said, but on what’s actually happening. In geopolitics, the latter is what matters, and that is the real significance: there is no Turkish return to the F-35 program. Any delay—however welcome it may be—caused by statements regarding the...

Erdoğan may not be Turkey’s ideal politician, but he has broken free from the shackles of dependence as much as possible. There are still dependencies, but no longer of that merciless, blackmailing kind that left virtually no room for action. The CHP and its allies would not have dared to pursue...
