TR Air-Force EF Typhoon

[TR_123456]

For the second batch? Well, it can be discussed, because who knows what progress Kizilelma and Anka 3 will make by that time. But now? It is absolute imperative and it is better than F16 deal.

You cant compare the Kizilelma and Anka 3 drones to the EF,not in the same league/category/role.

I am not comparing, just in the case of great progress of those platforms, THK can kind of compensate Vis a Vis scarce inventory till KAAN comes to the fore. Hopefully EFs in 2030 , will be of the highest spec, just in the case of the delays.

As far as I know, the real Anka-4 is on the back burner. There is a bigger supersonic version of Anka-3 on the pipeline, but not on the short term.

Such?

The Anka-3 is a great aircraft.
But I think one day you'll have to build an Anka with larger parameters. I'm not talking about the 100-ton Spirit, but something bigger than the Anka-3. There is an empty niche there.

Chinese just flew their flying wing drone that is bigger than Anka-3.

To be accurate, it's been flying since 2013. Recent footage released of production variant is a commemoration of its commissioning with PLAAF unit.

Something like that from TAI would require a bigger engine. Like F110. Other than the engine issue, there is no reason why Tusas couldn't get it done.

I agree, I just mentioned the Chinese drone as an example. We really need to start developing our drones/ships/planes/whatever around engines, rather than the other way around.

What if an early crop of the TF35000 engine get used on unmanned bombers long before they fly on Kaan this can effect every other acquisition

When testing a new engine, the Russians remove one engine from a twin-engine aircraft and install the engine being tested in its place.

I don't mean for testing I mean before the engine is matured to a human rated state it can be used to power a twin engine 35 ton stealth bomber. One might argue that we don't have a big use case for it but if we are not paying top dollar for them we might as well make them as they can be top stealthy making a difference, giving additional capability.

Bro, how are they going to fly a flying wing in supersonic domain? Anka-3 is a flying wing. The wing thickness will have to be so thin that it is not feasible for constructional stability if supersonic flight is expected from a flying wing.

A sans vertical stabiliser delta wing design, may be! Then you have the lack of control surfaces to give you manoeuvrability. But it is then possible. But that won’t be Anka-3.

There are NO supersonic flying wings in real life. Both Chinese H20 and B21 are subsonic aircrafts.
