I agree i think wingman needs its own sensors. There should be IRST and passive RF sensors at the least. Radar and jammer adds another layer of capability distributing active sensors. Wingman can get closer and jam enemy aircraft better as jamming is more successfull when the jammer is closer to...

There are ramjet PhD research that goes back 15-20 years in time. Similar story with UAV. There were TUSAS UAV studies 25 years ago. It gave birth to Turkish UAV roadmap and the rest is history. A similar thing has been happening with turbine engines and will happen with combined cycle engines...

Having a lot of acoustic sensors in the sea and networking them is more important than the capability of a single sensor. DUFAS or our hull mounted sonars might not be the best in the world, but deploying a lot of them together with a lot sonobuoy and networking them will net better results than...

Turkiye plans to adopt adaptive/combined cycle engines for 6th gen. Now I understand why DeltaV is developing a ramjet.

Turkiye plans to adopt adaptive/combined cycle engines for the 6th gen.

Unfortunately, it does prevent next-gen stealth. It is called physics. Neither the Chinese nor the Americans are stupid. The UK adopts a tailed design because it is what they can do. Tailles designs are well known and simple enough, but making a supersonic Tailles design as agile as today's...

Kaan will be a testing bed for many 6th-gen capabilities, but KAAN won't be a 6th-gen system ever. These are cross-sections of the B-2 Spirit and the F-35A from the front and side There is a reason why real 6th-gen aircraft are without a tail. 6th-gen aircraft require better 360-degree...

AKP-MHP alliance continues to release PKK members. All of them are giving propaganda speeches after their release. They do not regret anything. They are proud.

That is true. Gökbora will have an AESA seeker, and I expect Gökhan to use a variant of this seeker, but I wouldn't be surprised if different variants of these missiles come with other seekers. Initial versions might use the existing RF seeker in use with Gökdoğan. Meteor still doesn't have an...

Well, it is not a new engine development; it is an engine modification. Roketsan already has a working solid-fuel ramjet engine for another project. Roketsan just modified it for the Gökbora project.

I hope Milden uses solid-state batteries. First-generation solid-state batteries are now being sampled and are entering pilot production. Companies are setting up serial production lines. Even the first-generation solid-state batteries offer 400 Wh/kg energy densities and superior robustness and...

There was a talk of selling İstifs, but it was refuted.

Burke Flight III is really expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if China produces its battlecruiser with a similar price tag. Meanwhile, China is spamming Type-052D destroyers and Type 055 cruisers (China classifies them as destroyers, NATO classifies them as cruisers)

I'm ok with selling Hisars but not İstifs. We need İstifs ASAP.

China is developing a 20000-25000-ton nuclear-powered heavy cruiser/battle cruiser. It is planned to have a shit ton of VLSs, heavy long-range anti-ballistic/ASAT missiles like HQ-29, a railgun, and drone launchers. It is like an upgraded modern version of the cancelled CG(X) project of the US...

As expected. People understood the Ergenekon and Balyoz cases are staged when they are broadcast on TV. Whilst I believe Ekrem İmamoğlu is involved in some degree of corruption, he can't even dream of the level of corruption that Erdogan accumulated through his career as a politician. Average...

The Turkish state plans to spend on average 10 billion $ every year over the next 10 years, totaling $ 100 billion, on new acquisitions. It is on avarage per year in a span of 10 years, so it doesn't mean we will spend 10 billion next year on new acquistions. Budget will probably be something...

This is the easy part. KE is a subsonic aircraft releasing munitions from IWB at subsonic speeds, is child's play for our current level. TF-10000 is also a matter of time. The next difficulty is data fusion. From what I heard, Baykar wants advanced data fusion on this aircraft with onboard...

Kızıelma UCAV engaged a BVR target with a completely national kill chain. National IFF, national radar, national radar-missile datalink, national missile, and national RF seeker. This is huge. The MIUS team used no shortcuts to achieve the first radar-guided BVR kill. This is a full kill chain...
