    Absolutely. Considering the second engine block, the expanded airframe and fuel capacity, and the increase in payload capacity thx to much higher thrust, it should be an fighter in the 25000lb range.

    This guy is a complete thug. There's nothing crazy he won't do for whoever pays him. Ottoman 16th/17th century Mediterranean policy was based on the recruitment of these bandits and, if that was not possible, on hanging them on the gallows. Jack Ward aka Yusuf Reis was an extreme example of...

    Still no extensive information about the new Şimşek attack drone(shown under Anka-3 wings) has been released to the press. I can't understand why this system, which can create incredible asymmetry, is so out of the limelight in our defense circles. I think it is as valuable a development program...

    This is such a good-sounding idea that I will be disappointed if there is no radar in the nose.

    Also note: I don't think the first engine will go into mass production. But if there is such a plan, the mass production cost could be under 25 million on average. This means that 4 KEs with different variants can be placed against each F-16 and 6 KEs against each Rafale. The introduction of KE...

    KE has the goal of close air-to-air engagement capability. So basically cornering speed and fast potential energy gathering are main focuses rather than top speed. KE is a very light jet, (so there may not be a big difference between the full turn speed and the final speed, and it can gather...

    It may be true. The timid behavior in the Mediterranean is disappointing. But on the other hand, the Black Sea may hold much larger reserves than we think. Especially considering that significant preliminary findings are heading towards the central Black Sea territorial waters. Also, gas is only...

    (Note the landmarks from the 15th second onwards) It is only the 6th or 7th test flight, but I think the KIZILELELMA take-off distance is below 500-550 meters. In a few months we may see 300-350 meter take offs.

    I apologize, but I would like to make a small addition. It is actually a Greek propaganda that the Turkish parliament has passed a casus belli resolution. Unfortunately we fall into this trap very often. The Turkish Parliament's declaration of June 8, 1995 was adopted in response to the Greek...

    Very small margins will decide the outcome of the election. I am not sure who will win, but RTE has started to gain momentum again. My wish is that whoever wins, it should be a clear election result, meaning that the president should be above 51-52. The waters are boiling in our east, west and...
