This path leads to an aircraft carrier with a displacement of +50K.

• Naval Hurjet (even Naval MMU)
• KE-B/C
• Low-observable flying wing UAV

i want 6 of those, please and thank you.

6 OF WHAT ?

who is going to pay for The 6 carriers?

carriers are super expensive to build and operate and have little value in Med., Black Sea and Red Sea

Most likely a light carrier having a super heavy carrier is overkill.

 

[Baryshx]

There is already TCG Anadolu, and it seems like it's enough if we built a aircraft carrier.

Carrying even 1 AC task force will be a serious cost for the current scale of the country's economy. Not to mention construction costs. One should not think of aircraft carriers in alone, they are like floating bases operating with a whole task force ships.

IMHO, we will see 5-6 carriers by the 2040s. However, these ships will be much lower tonnage (under 10K displacement) drone motherships that will be for increase the impact area of unmanned systems* rather than an AC in the conventional sense.

*tactical air, underwater and surface unmanned systems

@dBSPL if turkey want to project power with the combination of some low tonnage ucav carriers and a supportive task force to the possible future low and medium intensity conflict around the african cost or in middle east, no doubt that's the best way to go for. ( as you described it )

But to effectively deter a superpower's navy with vast numerical and technological superiority, the best chance TN got is with an SSN fleet.

That thing must be huge, you can't just assemble it in corner of the facility. It should have a dedicated hall for itself and assembly line, with huge hangar doors. @MADDOG, have you seen such a place while strolling around?

Now i am more intrigued about that HALE project once mentioned to be under development by Tubitak - TAI and then disappeared into thin air.

Nope. As I have said previously, they referred to the aircraft as fictional and that it "could be on the drawing board". There were no signs of any jet powered UAV on the production or assembly facilities. I didn't come across a dedicated hangar either. But I do sometimes wonder what this place is for... Could be dedicated to helicopters (that general area is where heli flight testing takes place). Or it genuinely could be a brand new production plant for something quite different.

Ethiopia has resolved the Tigray conflict and we know what played a big role there. See the news at the link below.

Is this the UAV that will refuel the KIZILELMA-C in the air?

As one of the leading nation in this drone field, probably this will also be an issue on our Army's agenda bro. It is certain that we will need a strong and heavier fuselage thab we expect for these type of bomber/refueling mission.

I really wish it is a 6 ton aircraft and not 6 ton MTOW aircraft.

But other clues as the scaled version being as big as a sporting plane supports the idea of this being a 6+ ton aircraft empty

 

[Zafer]

It would be best to have a plane or two (twin engine) for every type of engine that we can get our hands on. Different products for differing needs of users.

Is the source trustworthy?

Mr Ömer Yıldız from Tusaş: "We can communicate continuously with the link systems on our planes. When we launch our target aircraft over ANKA, the target aircraft can transmit data to the ground at ANKA. This is how we can transmit images from the cameras on our target aircraft to the ground. Our target aircraft, which can currently reach 0.9 mach speeds, is planning to reach 1.1 to 1.4 mach speeds. We can also transfer images from ANKA to the infantry on the ground. Our development work on ŞİMŞEK continues. In this direction, we are working with different engine options and swarm four drone flights."

I don't know but I have been seing his name for a while now. He has around 50k followers.

 

[Zafer]

He is nothing but a propaganda machine with 0 knowledge.

Are you saying this is gonna turn out to be a lie?
