This jet is going to be underpowered so terribly.. what a shame. The new engines won't fix this either.. It's basically twin engine and larger than f-22 but slower, weaker, lighter and multirole to be like f-35 because they won't be able to make a single good engine. Super inefficient. I am starting to consider whether they want to abandon it but kept on working on it for political reasons(votes or s400 fiasco). Years have been past and still absolutely zero news about it's engines so far. No one is building a 30k+ dry trust engines in the world.

As a kid I grew up dreaming about this plane before it was even announced to the public but as you get older and understand Turkey, you know it was all just a dream. Let's fund the Diyanet even more.
«Let's fund the Diyanet even more»

How will the Directorate of Religious Affairs produce the 5th generation aircraft? Estağfirullah!


I still can't believe these figures after 300 days.
Where and for what does this money go?
If these figures are correct, it turns out that Turkey allocates twice as much money to the ministry of religion(!) as it does to defense.
Try multiplying 9.7 billion by 12!
With this money, 300 KAANs can be produced in just one year. Or an entire navy!

Even though all sources show 9.7 billion per month, I still don't believe it.
This is unthinkable!

A world leader in turbine engines, like Rolls Royce, still hasn’t got a working engine to fit in to the Tempest jet fighter.
The demonstrator plane will have two EJ200 engines powering it.
We need to give some slack to TEI and Tusas. You can not hurry these high end engine developments.
Forget about all the time they had to design a flat nozzle 3d thrust vectoring design. I already have doubts with the photos they are sharing because they don't even display round serrated nozzles most 5th gens display (excluding 2). I don't know about the world leader part if they have not shown the simplest stealth design in their engines like this.

The shitposting in the past on the Su-57 and KAAN nozzles will be long forgotten because it won't compare to a 6th gen(Tempest) flying around with round nozzles (not serrated with teeth even) is going to cause heart attacks if they really are flying a demonstrator in 2027 from what you have shown me.
