No-one is going to buy Kızılelma with a pricetag over 50+ million

 

[Sanchez]

Don't think we should go down that rabbit hole. That's clearly dumbing down for the audience and actual meaning is "high tech exports are better than fruits." No need to read too much into it.

You obviously don’t know the rich Arabs. $60 million is a bargain for them

 

[Afif]

Akinci 20-25 millions per unit and KE 35-40 millions per unit. (aircraft only)
When weapons logistics and training is included, it could go up to 40 millions per Akinci and 60 millions for KE.

Spending more than that on such platforms would be uneconomical for countries like BD.

Anka-4 will spell the end for manned fighters. If you want to kill Hürkuş, Hürjet and even Kaan go ahead

Being technologically supperior to your enemy is the best outcome one can wish for.

However, personally i dont think Anka 4 will be superior to 5th gen aircrafts but Anka 5 or later will definitely be a strong opponent to any manned fighter. So, your prediction seem to be off with 5-10 years in my opinion.

Right, but the US has not yet developed an unmanned fighter for some reason.

 

[Agha Sher]

Anka-3 first flight delay is due to faulty engine. Unknown whether it will repair or replaced altogether. Don’t expect a flight soon.

And what that got to do with Turkey?

Also, i believe that you are wrong on your assumption. USA most certainly have high degree of autonomous drone control together with real-time control of their drones via Starlink.

Them being not open about this is understandable since it would kill their sale of expensive fighters and give the enemy (China) to prepare for it.

Turkiye can build good aircrafts but we are still laking in engines unfortunately. If we had started earlier we would not be in that position. Apart from our MALE UAV’s, all our other aircrafts are using foreign engines.

Indeed, Turkiye is going through a painful period of engine dependency. Things are changing. With the current project, Turkiye could overcome this dependency completely in the next 10 years

We haven't seen a built US autonomous fighter, and militarization of Starlink will bring doom to Starlink.

Mr Temel Kotil thinks it is 5 years, but who cares.

5 years + some delays and time for certification

American military development is very slow now,compare to cold war era

2023 vs 2003 only a few new system succussfully developed by US

 

[Nutuk]

The maximum take-off weight is 8.5 tons. This raises its value to $85 million.

What is the empty weight?

This is the second time for Tusas if true.

Hurjet was also suffered from a faulty engine at first.

7 tons

Bayraktar <br> KIZILELMA

Teknolojinin hızla gelişmesine paralel olarak her geçen gün daha hızlı değişen savunma doktrinlerinde, geleceğin hava muharebelerinin insa

Baykar is currently conducting studies regarding the development of hydraulic actuators. The aircraft currently houses electronic actuators (similar ones can be spotted on the TB2, TB3 & Akıncı platforms) which might limit the aircraft's structural integrity during high g manoeuvres and/or during supersonic speeds. With hydraulic actuators, we can see these devices integrated onto the fuselage as we expected multiple years prior. We might also observe a reduction on the amount of control surfaces on the wings and the vertical stabilizers.

The integration of the KARAT IRST is also planned for Kızılelma. Its location will presumably be near the upper side of the forward fuselage & just at the aft of the radome.

TB3 is also set to conduct her maiden flight soon, with numerous tests currently ongoing. The folding wing mechanism is planned to be automated in the future. It is manually operated for the time being.

It's a must have for both Kızılelma and Anka-3, anything else would compromise their stealth. I wonder if they could get hydraulic actuators integrated before starting batch production, kinda doubt it though.

From what I understand it is pretty early in development. Don't know the details tho.
