No,they know they can only delay so they wont take the risk of alienating our country.There is still no contract signed with the US for the F110 engine. Do you see a risk?

We have a handful of good journalists/editors, one or two print and digital magazines, a few online media, and of course a few forums like defencehub, trmilitary, etc. Maybe one or two youtube channels, maybe not... And that's all there is. News ethics, news responsibility and credibility are limited in this circle. Of course, for those who want to learn more deeply, expert comments are also within this area. Unfortunately, when you go beyond this scale, it is a garbage dump. The state of the defense industry media in Turkiye, both in the mainstream media and in the opposition media, is deplorable. There are defense channels with tens of thousands of subscribers on youtube, but there is nothing but imbecilic content and fairy tales. Or there are those who are outright FETÖ apparatuses. Separate parenthesis, there are also ex-soldiers and intelligence officers, mostly Eurasianists, who go around channel after channel with a stick in their hands... These are also a separate case...
For me, the most reliable source is the information that comes from people I know here, whose ethical values I believe in, whose researcher personality I trust, and who are familiar with the details of the phenomenon/project under discussion, sharing the information they have obtained through their efforts and filtering it through their own filters. Not someone who pontificates with a stick on X channel in the mainstream media.
I have been following Turkish defense forums maybe more than 15 years. I know or can guess most of the members here from two or three previous forums. And I also know the periods when many people, who are now considered experts in the defense industry media today, and who are now editors of important magazines, wrote directly and regularly in these forums. One of my biggest regrets is that we have lost the database of many of these forums. I bet there were not be such detailed forum databases in any language except English. And if it still existed, it would be very valuable to compare our vision at that time with where we are now, anyway...Yup exactly.
There is unmatched qualitative distillation that occurs in this forum specifically in its way. I have not seen it anywhere else online as places easily go for quantity trolling and other such things to pump up volume with fluff and any good quality folks present cant really hear themselves think in end or get distracted/wasted in those things.
To get quality you need to have very specific well curated setting.....only then a good ladder of discussion and analysis can be setup and climbed over time.
The author is a well-known clown. Do not bother with him.
I know that person, Facelessman(a Korean). He has been shitposting about Turkish programs since forever. He was saying that KAAN is a paper plane and can't be flown because the prototype didn't have a pitot tube attached. A nutjub, really. He shouldn't be taken seriously.Chances are, this is nonsense. @Windchime @Chocopie
That Faceless Twitter clown isn‘t Korean at all. He‘s apparently from US/Canada & doesn‘t speak Korean besides Google translations.I know that person, Facelessman(a Korean).

That twit account is unreliable and the person ain‘t Korean.Chances are, this is nonsense. @Windchime @Chocopie
Anything ?I'm curious about the range of Murad and targeted range for aesa radar of Kaan. Do we know anything about these ? Also what is the estimated range for stealth detection ? What are your predictions if we don't know anything about ?
Indeed, to big and heavy. But what @MADDOG has written before, we will see some changes in size and weight of course.The author is a well-known clown. Do not bother with him.
Thanks for showing the real face of that faceless clown.
By the way :
Anything ?
Man this is depressing, I provided information of what kind of specs the 1st and 2nd stage engines offered, and it was like all of that was completely ignored.Technologically, the West is, of course, superior to Russia. The Russians themselves admit this.
But I’m interested in keeping an eye on SU 57 and KAAN.
I won’t hide it – I keep thinking: will we be able to have a full-fledged 5th generation production aircraft before the Russians?
Is anything about WS-15 public? I'm very surprised by the 4k hour claim. That is pretty pathetic.Yeah, but it's not about hitting the temperature only, is it?
China Had all the computer simulations since 2010. After billions of dollars and decades of research they are only reach 4000 hours lifespan with their WS-15 in 2024 so far. While F119 delivered in 1997 has 8000+ hours lifespan.
China is not us. That is perfectly useable. They have no shortage of funds, they can keep producing more. They might make a 5 new model of fighters and engines before their existing ones reach 4000 hours.Is anything about WS-15 public? I'm very surprised by the 4k hour claim. That is pretty pathetic.

Dear Jack, let it be known to you that generally accepted things do not require proof.Man this is depressing, I provided information of what kind of specs the 1st and 2nd stage engines offered, and it was like all of that was completely ignored.
You need to give examples of what western engines are better than the performance specs of the Russian engines I gave all the way back to March 31st. The answer is I don't see any aircraft in service that has better performance specs than the 2nd stage.
UEC is opening up another building for production, Turkey does have an option if Russia offers that option.
https://tass.com/defense/1785563 engines received for the Su-35 offer supersonic speeds without boosters and still maintaining longer ranges that current western aircraft.
