I have been free since the beginning and forever shall be so.
What madman shall put me in chains! I defy the very idea!
I’m like the roaring flood; trampling and overflowing my dyke (weir),
I’ll tear apart the mountains, fill up the open seas and still gush out!

It seems like 10 TB2s and 4 Akıncıs are in the production line.

I counted 16 TB2s and 3 Akincis. Is this their only production floor/facility? They are really in need of space.

They are building another one facility , i think its still U/C

 

[Agha Sher]

The naming is mysterious... KIZILELMA means red apple, no? What is the background with this naming?

Mockup or prototype ?

Turkish mythology. Red apple represents an ideal or a goal Turkic people strive to reach but the closer you get the further it runs away so in reality you will never reach it.

Mockup or prototype ?

Prototype. The process of production will be similar to Akıncı.

 

[Cabatli_TR]

Baykar is actually developing a stealth unmanned fighter aircraft. A fighter aircraft that can carry the missile load inside the fuselage and engage enemy aircraft with AESA radar and BVR missiles. Judging from the images, the fuselage will have a length around 11-12m. We are in a very important time period in terms of Turkish aviation and when these products land on the field, nothing will be the same as before.

Passenger planes pass by daily even I imagine how deadly airpower is.

We are on the ground shows how vulnerable we are to planes.

Now we have drones that are going to be jet powered and unmanned. Even one manned plane is enough to strike fear into a infantry now imagine hundreds of jet powered drones.

 

[Zafer]

On 2*750 hp engines it takes 90 minutes for Akıncı to fly to Tobruk of Libya where it can spend 20 hours in the air before coming back to base.

A new “fish“ in production line

 

[Cabatli_TR]

Now, It is the time to see TB3. In the coming days, I think Mr. Selcuk Bayraktar will also announce TB3.

 

[TheInsider]

TB3 might be announced on 18 March.

 

[Zafer]

One would expect to see the airframe of TB3 earlier than the MIUS but I guess we will see TB3 fully built rather than as the hard shell like the MIUS.

 

[Cabatli_TR]

• MIUS KızılElma in production
• TB3 is in production
• Hürjet in assembly line and will be rolled-out soon
• TfX production of fuselage main blocks have almost finished. Assembly phase will commence
• T929 attack helicopter production are most likely continuing.

Strategic aviation projects are living their golden days. 2023 will be a very special year.

What does this mean ?

IP AF-322F engine has been getting planned for MIUS but there is no certainty after UKR-RUS war. I think Baykar thinks about the alternatives.
But the only option will be from the West.
The close one is to use Honeywell/ITEC F-125.

But there was a project as I remembered that TEI had got a patent of TF-6000 engine. I don't know the situation of that.

Baykar is building a stealth unmanned fighter jet called MIUS. There will be initially a subsonic, then a supersonic version.

 

[TheInsider]

Nothing we don't know. It will have a maximum speed of Mach 0.9. It will have an AESA radar. It can take off from short runway carriers. MIUS will have two different engine options. It is planned to reach supersonic speed(via Al-322F).
