By the way the last approach speed of TB3 is 60 knots and relative speed to TCG Anadolu (18knots) is 42knots. This landing is thanks to the aerodynamic design of TB3 it has a very low stall speed. It doesn't need arresting cables but i think some sort of safety precaution should be included...

The naval variant of TB3 has an MTOW of 1450kg, and the land-based variant has an MTOW of 1600kg. Both can carry 280kg of payload. TB3 took off and landed just as I expected smoothly without any problems. IMO, the landing was an overkill it didn't use more than half of the runway and this was an...

It might be the first ignition of TF-10000. Afterburner should be ready.

This is the plan. The requirement is 240 Kaans after Turkiye is kicked out of the F-35 program. Will there be any delays? Likely but your guess is as good as mine. Turkish Air Force wants a fleet of 400 fighters with a 2/3 ratio of 4.5th and 5th/5.5th gen fighters. You make plans and you want to...

The Turkish Air Force will acquire 240 Kaans between 2028 and 2040. By 2040, the Turkish Air Force's fighter fleet will consist of 40 Eurofighters, 120 F16s, and 240 Kaans.

And it resulted in bad blood between Trump and Pompeo and Pentagon didn't execute Trumps order.

Marco Rubio will be appointed as Secretary of the State big trouble for Turkiye. He is pro-Gulenist and supports PKK/YPG.

Trump is expected to cease support for YPG/PKK. Page 218 second paragraph https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf This is the bible of conservatives. Of course in reality it might not be that easy. The Pentagon and CIA will %100 oppose to this idea.

This is how dictators rule. Dictatorship 101.

Landslide victory for the Orange Man. Trump wiped the floor with Kamala. My money was on the Trump but I never thought Trump could win that big.

Turkiye might start a new op in Syria if Trump is elected. Erdogan and Trump previously agreed on a 30-35km buffer zone in Syria.

Turkiye can easily produce more than 5000 guidance kits per year. Aselsan alone will deliver more than 3k kits per year according to the size of this contract. This makes Turkiye the second biggest producer in NATO after the US with a big margin ahead of the third. Probably all of the NATO...

Yes and no. Any friendly nation might buy Siper 3 and use it with existing batteries but to take advantage of its full capabilities Aselsan YIRAD (High Altitude radar) is needed at the minimum. Turkiye also plans to deploy space-based sensors after 2030 to further improve effectiveness of the...

IP of the OTV belongs to Fergani= Fergani hi-jacked DeltaVs project. DeltaV can find electronics from anywhere but Fergani can't find hybrid engines. There are a shit ton of satellite producers in Turkiye.

I don't want any research funded by my taxes to end up in a private firm period. TEI, Aselsan, DelttaV and Tübitak are not Baykar's free research facilities. Aselsan wants to sell FPAs it is ok but it should be available to all companies. DeltaV shouldn't deliver sensitive research to a private...

Local contribution is very low in Baykar's EOTS systems. They are basically outsourcing nearly everything. Baykar assamble them inhouse to create the end product but Baykar is developing its own software and AI suite this is where added value comes. Eventually local contribution will get better...

Aselsan can produce high-performance T/R modules smaller than the first expectations (Aselsan achieved state-of-the-art miniaturization) so radar dimensions are also smaller. This is due to Aselsan's success, it is not about cutting corners or developing a smaller radar. It adds up because...

Don't take this model as a reference point. Look at air inlets. There is no way to change air inlets at this point in development.

The new prototype of KAAN will be slightly shorter and have a smaller nose (because the radar turned out much smaller than planned). The nose is designed to be bigger to be on the safe side but MURAD-100A is now a fully working prototype and TAI knows the exact dimensions of MURAD-600A it is not...
