KAAN’da süreç açıklandı: 6 prototip yolda! | SavunmaSanayiST

Savunma Sanayii Başkanı Görgün, KAAN projesinin planlandığı gibi ilerlediğini belirtti. 2025’te uçuş planlanırken, 6 test uçağı seri üretimi hızlandıracak.

This article from 04 February 2025 is interesting. Here Mr. Gorgun says:
Noting that six aircraft will be produced during this process, Görgün said, “The six aircraft will accelerate our processes on the way to mass production. Each will have different functions and test activities. Flight activities are planned for the first produced aircraft, the second, third and subsequent aircraft for 2025.

I don't think these declared prototypes will all be with the F110 engine. Therefore, a strong question arises here!
Could it be that the KAAN TF36000lb engine is already finished?

I think I recall the TAI chairman saying TF35000 would be installed from 2028. Presumably for testing a 1xF110 + 1xTF35000 KAAN FTB.

I hope we can do similiar tests with KAAN in Türkiye.

İsmail Demir announced that Tübitak and Roketsan had developed an electromagnetic bomb (EMP).

On questions about electronic bombs, İsmal Demir, "There were design studies within the body of TÜBİTAK, they have reached a certain maturity. ROKETSAN is also at work on this issue. Electronic warfare can make significant effects on the field with its diversity and dimensions. . We continue these studies in terms of both export and our own needs." said.

Mary Lou Robinson, chief of the High Power Microwave Division of the US Air Force Research Laboratory, announced that the EMP missile (CHAMP project) is operational. The missile is planned to be used against North Korea and Iran. It was announced that the missile had a range of 1120 km.

Air Force has deployed missiles that could fry electronics of Iran

The microwave weapons are fitted into an air-launched cruise missile and delivered from B-52 bombers. They can fly into enemy airspace and disable any electronic devices.

6 Prototypes will be produced, one will be for EMP tests I hope.

I think there was a defenseturkey article years ago with a list of test systems and test centers that are and will be established under the KAAN program, I searched a bit but I couldn't find it. However, we already know about the Lightning Test Facility, I wonder if this facility can also be used for EMP simulations?

If I had to guess an emp would destroy that facility instead

That's exactly how it is!
It is precisely these types of disjointed statements in time, which make you think (hypothesize) that perhaps this engine may not only have been built, but may even be in the testing stages

Last month, Haluk Görgün said that TF36000 will be integrated into KAAN in 2029 or in the beginning of 2030. So 2028(for engine) date is outdated.

Only if you haven't paid any attention to anything else or do not live in the physical reality we occupy because in this reality, there is quite literally 0% chance that TF3XK engine has been built and getting testing right now.

An engine development process is a marathon, it is neither sprint nor it is a long jump like the one you're doing with your leaps in logic. Pace yourself or you're going to lose it before we reach the finish line.

Murat İkinci (Roketsan):
"[...] Therefore, our efforts are ongoing to make sure that our weapons, smart missiles, can fit into KAAN’s internal weapon bay and be launched from there."

Stating that they will work on making cruise missiles like Çakır and SOM capable of being launched from both KAAN and Kızılelma and integrating them, İkinci also mentioned that there has been no change in KAAN's delivery date of 2028. He added, "We have a schedule that aligns with the timelines of both Kızılelma and KAAN. We will integrate all of our weapons, including air-to-ground and air-to-air smart missiles. The first prototype delivery of KAAN is planned for 2028, and we will complete all integration work without causing any delays during this process."

ROKETSAN açıkladı: Entegre edilecek! KAAN'a yeni doping

Ekonomi - ROKETSAN Genel Müdürü Murat İkinci, milli muharip uçağının teslim tarihinin 2028'de herhangi bir değişiklik olmadığını belirtti. İkinci, KAAN için bu sene silah entegrasyonuna ağırlık vereceklerini söyledi.
