What about the drone programs being done by TAI?1-TF-X
2- Unmanned combat fighter (what baykar is trying to produce)
3- Foreign aircraft (I believe it is about Pakistan or US due to latest developments)
Isnt that obvious?TuAF clearly wants quick replacement for F-4's.
TFX seems to turn into a pure air superiority fighter, and i really expect that future air to ground missions will done mainly by unmanned aircrafts. Unmanned Air to Air combat with drones needs more time due AI etc. but Air to Ground operations were conducted just "yesterday" with small MALE drones.
If it is a foreign plane, iam gonna bet it would be a F-15If it's a foreign plane let's hope that it will be a Eurofighter Typhoon... Please not any of these Russian junks.
I would make a special bomber with four TFX engines.Isnt that obvious?
With TFX specs, it will be too ineffecient to hit ground targets with it. I mean you can produce the same damage with an unmanned drone that is like..... 90% cheaper
Let the TFX be air superiority yet can do multirole when needed
Leave the ground missions to long range bombs, drones, and hurjet
This is the optimal solution with greatest efficacy

it would be a very unnecessary expense. now begins the time of autonomous and artificial intelligence aircrafts. (i think it's a false flag or a political statement.)SSB head İsmail Demir stated that 3 options are on the table as an alternative to the F-35.
i think it's just an speech to save time. there will be none.1- New F16s
2 - Used F16s
3 - More F16s
Please no russian junk.. may be Eurofighter Typhoons (used, new from UK), most likely more f16s, definitely not f15s.. I wish Rafales but France never give them (or double price them) .. most logical thing is to get F16 Block 70 in return for money paid and efforts in Afganistan.
But TFX won't be fully operational for another 8-10 years and fleet is aging, setting up new infrastructure is costly and time consuming but also need for new planes is certain. It won't be surprising to acquire more F16s. TurAF possibly already requesting it but relations..i think it's just an speech to save time. there will be none.
considering all the risks, i think that we left the f 35 project intentionally. we develop and manufacture new generation unmanned aerial vehicles very cheaply. what we need is only 15 years at most.But TFX won't be fully operational for another 8-10 years and fleet is aging, setting up new infrastructure is costly and time consuming but also need for new planes certain.

Göksungur was designed to serve as target drone. But it can be converted to at least kamikaze or spy drone. I don't think it is a big drone. Because it was said that göksungur was released from aksungur.What about the drone programs being done by TAI?
Wasnt TAI making goksungur and another drone near in size to TFX for it to be a wing man?
For me, these are more important than the drone by baykar (not saying it isnt important, but these takes precedence)
They forgot a screw I hope TuAF doesn't buy this. Even our mockups are higher quality.Pfff.. just needs RAM putty.
If i remember correctly, Russians are more straighforward in RAM application, they attach a new panel over the whole body with screws instead of painting the hull with RAM paint in micron sensitivity.They forgot a screw I hope TuAF doesn't buy this. Even our mockups are higher quality.
