ok mr expert, only you know these things just because you can read open articles faster than me, do you?
If you read those open articles you'd know how advanced of a machine F-35 is. We're lucky if we can approximate the performance of an F-22 with the domestic engine in the next 20 years. China with tens of billions of dollars, industrial espionage with all the stolen data from JSF project, and an army of students and engineers in the top US/European universities and companies managed to fart out the J-20 with the RCS and the engine nowhere near the F-35. We still don't have a missile with similar performance that of Meteor.

Same broken record stuck on a loop for the past 15 years.

So what should we do, sit down and cry? Or should we drop everything and mourn? What do you want to say?

And the most important question: What do you think we should do? What is your suggested solution?

Another great interview from Temel Kotil, a general information about ther products.




- In the middle of the interview he is talking about passenger airplane (y), when they delivered first KAAN they will start a passenger plane.

- 14 protype of KAAN will be delivered.

- engine, ejection seat and a active side stick is from foreign countries the rest of the fighter is all made in Turkey.

Mr Kotil: "We have HÜRKUŞ, HÜRJET and KAAN. There will also be a smaller one. We can do an aircraft like that. It's in the plans"

The configuration of the aircraft is determined by the Turkish Air Force, not TAI. I don't want to write too long, maybe not in the first block, but it is not possible that there is no cannon on the aircraft. The characteristics of the cannon, its calibre, ammunition capacity are the subject that TAI can work on, but it cannot say that 'it is not necessary' to remove something that the force wants.

Utterly confused. We were talking about 30 mm cannons a short while ago, now this. Not to mention its a bad call.

What happened?
We should have spoken louder to be heard but again I had already left that business to who knows better.
