TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[Nilgiri]

Typical procedure of all flying vehicles.

Yes for the first test flight, wheels all down. Wheels up is for next test flights....so we might see a luneberg lens then if its taking a longer circuit with more radar emission site possibility etc. I guess they will run it well inside interior near Ankara this time again anyway, so it might not be needed anyway, lets see.

BTW, anyone know when the next test flight is scheduled for right now?

• Foreign engines
• It's not 5th gen
• Stolen technology
• F-22 from wish dot com
• F-35 at home
• No mass production bcoz economy
• Specs are inflated
• It's propaganda

Westoids never disappoint. Nemçe kölesi, dayanır mı zülfikâre kellesi?

You talk about Westoids but I have seen what they say about it on Russian channels too... 99% of them are very negative and skeptical and of course anti- Turkish in their comments.
I write this just to show that everywhere we turn we are surrounded by enemies. This is why this project is so important and we MUST succeed.

Congrats to everyone on this small but very important step.

Yeah Russians know we will sell it to Ukraine .

BTW my congratulations to Turkish defense industry.
I appreciate all Turkish engineers, workers,etc and all Turkish politicians who have contributed.

Gorgeous, lethal and real stealth fighter.

Now Türkiye is in the top league of countries. Keep doing it.

The main Russian military publication does not yet contain anything regarding KAAN. Complete silence.
While they are apparently thinking about how to present this “completely insignificant event” in world aviation
And I remembered this - it’s 2019, Erdogan is inspecting the SU57. Watching this on TV, worried, I repeated over and over again: Sultan, don’t make a mistake!
He seems to have heard me

Luneberg lenses are not needed as there is no RAM on the aircraft. RCS of the geometry can be calculated with engineering simulation programs with a good enough result so there is nothing to hide at the moment.

Did anybody do any sims on KAAN so far?

 

[Quasar]

The first flight of KAAN is not only the Crown Jewel of the Turkish aviation&military industry but the most significant milestone for the realization of the Future Air warfare doctrine combining Maned&Unmaned assets , what is even more impresive is we should remember the fact that the first flights of Kızılelma, Anka 3 and now KAAN are all happened in last 24 months…

-The infrastructure and Human capital we have been gaining through this program will defintly open new doors both in military and civil industries.

- May be for the first time Turkish Airforce will be having an air superiority (with block 10) and an air dominance fighter with its 5 gen mod

If you are asking for RCS, this video is the only thing I can find talking about it.

A new video from TAI

They made me cry again

 

[Afif]

Smoothly with confidence, the dream of Turkish nation is taking to the sky.......

And now it is there, beautiful and glorious. So hear me and rejoice!

 

[Iskander]

The situation around KAAN, as expected, is taking an interesting turn. Yesterday, immediately after the first flight, Russia offered Turkey cooperation in the joint production of fifth-generation fighters. This was announced by the Consul General of Russia in Istanbul Andrey Buravov.
