I hope they prepare the runway in a short time. Therefore, the pavement should be handled and most probably pavement surface should bring to the same friction level as on TCG Anadolu in order her to test in similar conditions.

I hope so, lack of stealth nozzle due to commonality with F35B is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. I hope KAAN is more like F22 nozzle, and I think due to the placement of vertical stabilizers it is even more crucial for IR stealth.

New variant of ŞİMŞEK with a sharper and smoother profile, likely for higher speeds (no, not supersonic). I guess TUSAŞ wants to keep ŞİMŞEK alongside SÜPER ŞİMŞEK as the cheaper alternative.

Şimşek/Süper Şimşek will be a manace to any foe. I see chaff flare dispensers on the wings for the less stealthy one. Those chaff flare dispenser will probably be able to launch smart RF decoys in addition to chaff and flare. Now think about that this thing will also mimic RCS of a fighter while our jammers jam the shit out of battlespace. Tell you what it is the doomsday scenario for any air defense. Air inlets are positioned on top of the Şimşek variants so it will be harder to detect by ground radars if the mission commander opts to use them as cruise missiles. BLOS range is given as 700km, LOS range is 200km :)

Apparently the PPK shot down an AKSUNGUR. Can anyone confirm the validity of this video?
Don't know but since when do MALE drones fly a couple hundred meters above ground? Pretty sure Aksungur is also not in the inventory of the Land Forces/Air Force only the Navy and that in limited numbers. Why would the Navy be flying a Aksungur a couple hundred meters above ground over northern Iraq?

Smells funny to me, especially this being circulated by troll on twitter belonging to the iranian dictatorship regime :) Funny, I'm sure has nothing to to with them being embarassed in front of the whole World by Türkiye.

I think these trolls should be more worried about who israel is going to off next of their leadership instead of collaborating with the pkk to create videos, even if the video is real , and I have serious doubts, one Aksungur was lost we have hundreds of TB2s and dozens of Ankas as well as Akincis, Syrian regime trolls were celebrating the same way in March of 2020 until they realized the bombings didn't stop because they downed one TB2 and one Anka.

These kinds of things may work with those who are either A still a teenager or B are an adult but their brain never grew.
