I remember I saw an article saying Turkey extended the deal from 35 to 160 aircrafts but not confirmed. It seems we signed the deal. I hope the process does not cease due to the ordinary nonsenses of US. Maybe our ability to produce kits locally might have pushed the US to endorse such a deal.

They probably be already doing something similar with current AESA projects. Regardless MMU still need much more dedicated testing platform.

Could Turkey be the secret customer of Sukhoi LTS?

Gökhan ramjet A-A missile will fly close to hypersonic speeds according to Tubitak Sage director Mr. Gökhan Okumuş. The hypersonic flight starts at Mach 5 so it will most likely fly at Mach 4+ at the terminal stage. Gökdoğans top speed is Mach 4 but rocket-propelled missiles cant maintain their top speed for a long time so the interception usually happens after engine burnout which means lower than top speed values.

Not surprising. The Su-57 has the same flaws. And this one will too. The Russians aren’t on the same level as the west when it comes to 5th Gen aircrafts as the Russians don’t even really have an true 5th gen Aircraft on their hands. And no the Su-57 is not 5th gen.
The manufacturing of the planes is just not good enough to call it 5th gen.
Not even gonna talk about some basic 5th gen abilities missing completely and being replaced with misinformation that maneuverability and Short landing are somehow important “5th gen attributes”.
And this advertisement by them just leads the interest customers to be disappointed once they actually get into the details of the planes. There is a good reason the Su-57 has no costumer.
When you have to advertise maneuverability and short take off and landing as 5th gen ability(which they are not) as they have done for the Su-57 no one is gonna believe you truly have a 5th gen on your hands but a new category of fighter jet that incorporates 5th gen aspect but still falls short of it. With which is nothing wrong with. But don’t advertise your product as something it isn’t.
You don’t even have an engine on your hands to power a true 5th gen. Like come one man.
And just like with the Su-57 TurAF won’t have any interest in the S-75 either.

Direct info Gökhan ramjet A-A missile project is 6-7 years old.
Then we should expect to see its trials soon?

We might see some test launches next year and probably test fire against a target in 2023.
It is named after martyr Captain Gökhan Ertan.

There are 940 aircrafts together with drones but other aircrafts missing like trainer ones and most helicopters belong to land forces

Huh, I was under the impression that Turkey only had around 170 F-16s. Guess I was wrong.

Interesting piece of history, and we should not forget this "betrayal" that lead to the building of our own planes were abandoned.

What I understand that our F-16 fleet is not old Idk why media is always saying this. CCIP upgrade made all of our Block 40s par with block 50+ avionics wise. Why everyone saying they are old etc
