Source?Tulgar has been delivered and is currently undergoing testing with Turkish F-16's.
Can’t buy used F-16s without American greenlight and a Typhoon will always be a better match for a Rafale than any F-16.Source?
Does this refer to all F-16 models to be tested?
Or is it probably the F-16 Block 30 Özgür, as the source code is available for software modifications.
The question doesn't belong here, but why doesn't Turkey buy 40 used F-16 Block 30s from the EU & Co and have them converted to the Özgür platform, which is much cheaper than ordering 40 new Eurofighters.
The advantage would be that most of the money would remain in the country and 40 used F-16 Block 30s converted to Özgür would be significantly cheaper than 40 new Eurofighter Tranche 4.
The main money should be invested in the development and production of KAAN instead of putting money into the pockets of other countries.
You don't have to retrain the pilots, maintenance crew etc. either.
And the airplane fires either US ammunition or Turkish ammunition, and most of the money in this case stays at home.
It may be that Rafaele & Eurofighter Typhoon are better than F-16 Block 70/Özgür.Can’t buy used F-16s without American greenlight and a Typhoon will always be a better match for a Rafale than any F-16.
A bunch of trustworthy sources, including TurDef.Source?

Which in plain english means?
TAI signed a new expanded contract to initiate the Term-I, Phase-I Contract and Phase-II activities of the KAAN new generation jet engined fighter aircraft.
TAI will continue making KAANWhich in plain english means?
With whom?

He's referring to this marvelous piece of journalism (!)Who is this Chris cappaleto? could not find the guy.
This picture is from the first make.Is it me or second KAAN is same as the first? Where are the changes that were supposed to be tested with new prototypes?

Apart from subsystems, electro-optics, etc. perhaps the nose is different?
More than likely we'll see several changes made, my bet is that the canopy design will be slightly altered. Purely from an aesthetic standpoint, I really want to see it with a coating.
I think someone from Turkish Aerospace mentioned that it would be slightly shortened. But we'll have to wait and see.I think the changes could be mostly internal?
