When we speak about Bomber Drones, something like this is planned, but what I read from Charateristics it will not comparable to a strategic Bomber.

From TheInsider

I have no idea about the design and shape of the TAI UCAV but now that the genie is out of the bottle I know that

-It is a big and heavy UCAV expect 5-6 tonnes or higher.
-It will have a turbofan engine
-Its mission endurance will be 8 hours.
-It will carry a big amount of payload. More than Akıncı.
-A scaled model will be/has already been produced. I expect the first flight of the scaled model to be done in a year.
- The first flight of the full-sized UCAV will be done in 2025.
-It will be made public at some point like other TAI projects. I think it will be publicly announced in 2023 at the latest(IMHO it will be announced sooner).
-It will be able to fly at supersonic speeds(I expect max speed to be around 1.2 mach maybe up to 1.4) but mostly execute missions at high subsonic speeds.
-It will have A-A capability but I don't know the details of its A-A capability(BVR, WVR, self-protection)
-It will be expensive but it will still be much cheaper than a manned fighter.

8 old f16 been flying since 80’s. Planning to sell 24 out of 43 and they’ve flown an average of 6500 hours. 16-24 of the F16 have enough hours left to benefit a second buyer.

Why is Turkey purchasing this junk?
F16 isn’t junk. But the ones being sold are old.

IMO I doubt Turkey will get them, not when PH is in dire need of jets and F16 could fill out that role for a country low on currency.

Not to forget US approval is needed.

Why would we need those old ones, to upgrade to Ozgur?

Exactly, doesn't make sense!

Probably the Danes hope that Turkey could be a possible customer but Turkey does not have F16's in service with PW engines so the chance that Turkey would want them is very unlikely

The plane can be refurbished and upgraded and I think will be enough for another 15 years operation. I think Indonesia should get 16 of them as our stop gap measure, particularly if we are talking that we only have 1.1 billion USD approval of total foreign loan for MRCA program (2020-2024).

Wtf Block-10 !! even Hürjet will be better than that.. You would need structural improvement, new avionics, new aesa, new engine! it will be very expensive upgrade, waste of money unless they are going to be used as trainers.

There is actually no point in getting worked up over it, as there is absolutely nothing to be done unless we go for early elections, which isn’t happening.

You’re just getting your blood pressure up for no good. I think all the sound questions has been asked in the forum, but unless you can join a radio or tv show and ask your questions freely nothings gonna change.

My hunch tells me that we’re not getting full information on what the deal entails. Even if I. Demir wants to tell the public he can’t because of confidentiality.

Despite mistakes made we have to believe in proper progress being made defense sector.

You know, you can end some of your sentences with a simple dot. Not every sentence has to have an exclamation mark. You seem like a very angry person, all the time. It's not healthy.
