basically waste of money nothing else

you mean the war that occurred 40 years ago? f18 is large , have higher payload, range, stronger ew equipment and much larger radar dome, only similarity with f5 is twin engine :)

f5 is very very good plane if it never meet adversary

there is a great article aboUt TS1400 by Ibrajim Sunnetci in aviation Turkey magazine 2019 "The conventional methodology for measuring this lifespan and one that’s used by many engine manufacturers is known as the TAC (Total Accumulated Cycles) Life. One TAC is the equivalent of one cycle of...

making local engine is not plan b, our air force is lagging behind , we need to boost our airforce with new planes until our engine come. it is said that first 20 KAAN will use f110 engines rest will go with TEI engine. TAI can make 2-3 aircraft per month easily , after 2030 , 2 for Turaf and...

China spent decades for developing engines, so? what is the relation with turkish engine development? china is big today, it was not yesterday! turkish aviation industry is a part of western aviation industry, TAI and TEI makes tons of parts for airbus, boeing lockheed , GE, safran , honeywell...

KAAN internal bays modified to carry mk83 size bombs, f22 cant carry them. side bays are also long , probably accommodate GOKHAN ramjet missiles which is larger than aim 9 and aim 120 s. i dont consider KAAN as a 4++ gen jet, it has old fashioned engine for just today rest is pure 5th generation.

they had an anti ship missile , what happen to it? why did they buy brasillian?

Engine: PT6A - 25C with 750 horsepower , how come?

Really ? we are trying to make ITAR free product but you choose an american engine. yes if they give us blue prints we can make it, we know what is an engine, even tf6000 engine is high tech than anything ukraine has

of course he was meant high production capacity if needed, even total order was not 365! no one is gullible, once it is operational , many countries will watch closely before buy, there is not much alternative as you know, Korean kf21 and Russian su57 are not real 5th generation fighters...

thats not right, CEO of TAI said if they want 1 aircraft per day is possible. if local engine is ready in 2028/29 only problem would be the money. foreign costumers will not wait for long time.

yes but, ukraine factories were destroyed by Russia. so practically Turkey cant get engines from ukraine. there are 2 possibilities 1-if ukraine agrees to give us to blue prints, Turkey can produce them without foreign input, not sure how much real 2-Turkey may start to design 3000 hp...
