    -It is overhyped by the US and China itself. ------------> Probably true. -Engine still suspect. -----------------> Why? -Too big as a fighter plane.---------------------> It's debatable. I don't think it's big, especially for the Pacific region. -It’s stealthiness can be questionable...

    If that tank factory does not start mass production within 2025 and 3 prototype tanks are not delivered in the configuration of the mass-produced tanks, then I will be the ONE talking with badmouthing! Enough is enough!!!

    Of course, if we are not going to use the TF-10000 engine on the Anka-3 then you are right.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    From what I understand of the Plaza Accords, any US president would certainly implement this approach. Even if Obama were president instead of Trump, the US would force Japan to purchase the F-47 and withdraw from the GCAP program.

    In this case, your sources contradict @orko_8. I assume both are correct. I think things will unfold as follows: 20 Unit Block-10 Kaans will be produced in 2029, but they won't be equipped with the F110 as expected. Instead, they'll be equipped with the immature TF35000. In 2032, the mature...

    I'm not correcting you, I'm just clarifying. Delivery will be in 2028, but it will be at the end of 2028.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    There are two conditions for this plan to work. 1- The immature TF35000 engine must be capable of delivering the thrust values of the F110. In other words, we must be able to obtain at least 18,000 lbf dry thrust and 30,000 lbf wet thrust from the immature TF35000 engine. 2- The immature...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    @Yasar_TR If the F110 engines cannot be procured, I believe we will have to resort to a rather risky course of action. That risky course is this: Delivering the Block 10 Kaans using immature TF35000 engines, which offer F110 thrust values. This would save the Kaan program from a complete...

    I have a question. Approximately how long would it take to derive a turboprop engine from the TS-1400? I assume there are no problems with financial resources and trained manpower.

    There should be almost no foreign components left in the SOM missile, including electronic subcomponents. I believe that the localization rate, especially in electronic subcomponents, was achieved thanks to the gains from the Hisar HSS project.

    I have no proof and this is all my own feeling. I feel that the South Koreans, just like the Germans, will feel ashamed when they buy anything other than ammunition from Türkiye. So I think that South Korea will not buy a sophisticated weapons system from Türkiye unless it is absolutely necessary.

    TR TF35000 Turbofan Engine

    The President of the SSB, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, recently announced that the engine will provide 36,000 lbf thrust. In other words, the fact that the engine will provide 36,000 lbf thrust is not actually an estimate, it is official information. If we make an estimate based on the P&W F119...

    TR TF35000 Turbofan Engine

    I think it will be 26.000 lbf around dry thrust (115 kN) and 36.000 lbf wet thrust (160 kN).

    TR TF35000 Turbofan Engine

    The interesting thing is that all the engines listed under "Products" on the company's website have the TEI prefix. However, the TF35000 turbofan engine does not have the TEI prefix. My conclusion from this is that TEI is not solely responsible for the development of the TF35000 turbofan engine.

    TEI has finally announced the TF35000 turbofan engine on companys official website. This information is not currently available on the English section of the website, but it will probably be posted there in the future. I am leaving the link and the translation of what is written...
