And the beast
Ability to speedily and stealthily carry 8 Tolun SDBs or 2 Mk-84 HGKs will always be important. I don't expect A2G role for Kaan to be put on the back burner.I agree A2G should be seconday concern. As the Air Force will have that covered with KE, ANKA-III and other drones in the inventory and possibly Armed Hürjet as well as the F-16 fleet.
It is logical that they would work at least in concept for future but meaningless to announce it.SBB: Work on 6th generation fighter has started!
I believe this would be an upgraded KAAN and not an entirely new platform.
So maybe instead of buying F16 or Eurofighter...just buy from korea.South Korea to Begin Indigenous KF-21 Fighter Jet Production
South Korea is planning to sign a contract with Korea Aerospace Industries to commence large-scale production of the KF-21 Boramae aircraft.www.thedefensepost.com
Korean would start soon,we should hurry up
Korean fighter=US fighter.So maybe instead of buying F16 or Eurofighter...just buy from korea.
Its the same latest 4.5 generation fighter and more stealthy too....Certainly less political problem than buying from european or american.
Anything not on par with Greek's F-35s and American's F-22s is a no starter for Türkiye. They will just be shiny flying coffins, not fighter jets.So maybe instead of buying F16 or Eurofighter...just buy from korea.

TAI KAAN as a 5+ generation fighter would have to have an engine of at least 18000 lbf to remain competitive, in principle 80 kn dry and 36000 lbf 160 kn with an afterburner.
I don't know whether our engineers will be able to achieve this so easily in 6-8 years - that's a lot.
Is the TEI TF 6000 engine already installed in the Anka 3 prototype?
First of all, it has to be known that the engine that is named in the media as TF35000, is being developed for KAAN as a high dry thrust engine. Since the TEI MD himself announced that TEI could develop an engine similar to F119, we automatically expect a 26000lbf dry thrust and 35000lbf wet thrust from the engine being developed.TAI KAAN as a 5+ generation fighter would have to have an engine of at least 18000 lbf to remain competitive, in principle 80 kn dry and 36000 lbf 160 kn with an afterburner.
