I would give more than three years to the Aesa(an operational Aesa). Aselsan is in an uncharted territory whereas TEI has all the experience and the infrastructure on engines. TEI can accomplish the task without any dependency from abroad but I can't say the same about Aselsan. At least, not just yet. And I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.
I think there is a problem in this kind of thinking. Let's say we were able to balance Rafale, F35, and F16V with our jets plus Mius etc. Each side have lost all their planes. Now within a week you will see 200 new planes probably together with some voluntary pilots on the Greece side. What will be on our side? That's why we always need a big cushion on our side. If greece has 200 planes we should have at least 300 planes of at least same quality to counteract against scenarios as above. This is so simple. But many people including so called defence experts dont understand this. We should buy even Typhoon tranche 1. Numbers are also important. Or we should produce Mius and Hürjet in 100s not 20 or 30.
i wouldnt think so, my bet is that they are testing it with Hava SOJ aircrafts

The thing is we wont lose our arforce in this scenerio. We shouldnt buy typhoon T1, it would be at least F-16V level
ASELSAN has AESA expereince too, just ground and naval based
«IT’S ONE OF OUR IDEALS, OUR WISH, THAT ONE DAY IN THE FACTORY IN UKRAINE WE WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD THE NEW BAYRAKTAR KIZILELMA, THE UNMANNED FIGHTER»
«It’s one of our ideals, our wish, that one day in the factory in Ukraine we will be able to build the new Bayraktar Kizilelma, the unmanned fighter», — Baykar CEO
In an exclusive interview with the Come Back Alive Foundation, Haluk Bayraktar, Baykar CEO, said that in the future the company also plans to assemble Bayraktar Akıncı and Bayraktar Kizilelma — a new unmanned fighter jet — in Ukraine.
As Mr.Haluk said at the start, it is about partnership and best way to counter Russia is to support Ukraine, and this step has benefits of
How many MQ-9 production facilities exist outside US ?
Does US have any economic or border threats, especially something like Russia? Or does the US need allies?
Their deceased fathers were visiting soldiers in prison during the Ergenekon trials. I don't think they worry about AKP losing. Even hardcore AKP opponents are silent at worst. They have quite a support from defense analysts, most of whom are opposed to AKP. Also, still respectable retired Generals are backing them.
exactly and used his power to really kick them up to place of untouchableness.
It is mentioned in the subtweet to this tweet.
These arguments make sense. I hope we will remain in good terms with Ukraine in the future ( we have to actually otherwise Russia will be spoiled) and get some more in return. The claim that we are doing this because AKP will lose, is weird. If the new government is that much traiterous, we have a problem much larger than Bayraktar!
Kızılelma will be a game changer for their airforce, miles ahead than what they can buy (and operate)
"Golden Apple"?
