    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    If we define the Hurjet as a low-cost light attack type and the MMU as the main combatant representing the highest capability point, I think these two programs will represent two classes, not two aircraft. In other words, I predict that both programs will fork and produce variants with serious...

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    It may not be politically/geopolitically correct to drill in/near territorial waters in succession. But, in a way, I would like to think that these last drilling activities are prioritized in terms of the speed at which they can be brought into the economy due to some findings, rather than...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    I have only tried to describe a typical task load and its representation. Of course, many other ideas can be generated. What I am trying to say is that if the Hurjet LCA variant emerges as an aircraft with a lift capacity of about 5 tons at a cost of around 18-25 million dollars, it could become...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    The KAI F/A-50, which has the similiar propulsion system as the TAI Hurjet, has an ordnance lifting capacity of 10,000-12,000 lb. This indicates that with the lightening of the aircraft structures in the Hurjet program, the Hurjet LCA variant can reach a payload capacity of 4500 kg, perhaps 5...

    If you are interested in rare historical videos like me, we can create a common thread by sharing examples here.

    The average sea crossing between Baku and Turkmenbashi is 250 km. What needs to be done is very simple, the capacities of Kazakhstan Aktau port, Turkmenistan Turkmanbashi port and Azerbaijan Baku port should be increased immediately and the number of these train ferries should be increased...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I really don't know what kind of division of work there will be. But, my guess is that Turkish naval aviation (for fixed wings) will enter a rapid development process through drones. On the TAI side, there is already a feasibility study for a naval LCA over on the Hurjet. Maybe it is not...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    TAI TISU will be a stealthy penetrator-bomber if our predictions are correct. More precisely, while the KE is intended to be a drone with a close engagement capacity with an emphasis on agility, TAI TISU will focus more on stealth. In short, we expect it to be in the form of a flying wing...

    Right, I apologize for the wrong photo. I hastily took a photo from google images, but even when you zoom in on the photo, it already says tb-2 on the tail boom. The reason I added Çaldıran was because the tail structure was the same as the De Havilland Vampire. In another thread, a friend of...

    Air-Force Breaking: B-21 Raider unveiled

    For a $100 billion-plus program, it's a good marketing strategy. The first 6th generation combatant jet. I wish instead of making a generation distinction, they would have revealed what percentage of their skill sets are specific to this platform. Whether and how much of the B-21's extra...

    About 3.8 billion dollars. It will close the year above 4 billion. The most important issue here is that the sector's turnover has entered a trend of doubling every 3 years on average.
