Turkish Air Force - Weapons and Capabilities ( News and Updates )

.
But that doesn't solve the problem. He brings a lot of misinformation on the forum. And you know how many people fought or couldn't cope with him? I've counted more than 30 and most of them are active posters.

Ok well everyone has "misinformation", its a bit subjective anyways. You were posting misinformation just the other day about SECRET SUBMARINE PROPELLERS, who cares. He mostly just posts pictures and stats of weapons anyways, let him do his thing. Just block him. I block people all the time, trust me, less frustration on your end. Every thread seems to be you two beefing, he posts his stuff then you come and reply to him, and then it turns into a flame wars with fifteen different messages back and forth. All I'm saying is it takes two to tango, if someone is annoying you or pissing you off, just make life easy for yourself and everyone else, and just ignore/block them. I blocked that Legionaire clown cursing at people in every post, and my life is 200% better than before I blocked him. lol, you too can enjoy this please, just ignore whoever annoys you. 🤷‍♂️

TF-X ( MMU ) maiden flight at the end of 2023


According to TEMEL KOTIL ( President & CEO at Turkish Aerospace ) TFX will make its maiden flight at the end of 2023

The first flight was previously scheduled for 2025


First delivery 2028 is a contractual condition
Turkiye chose to use F110-GE-129 in MMU prototypes and perhaps the first 1-2 squadrons MMU Blok 1 to be delivered to the TURAF as 2028-2030

because that Engine is used in the F-16s in our inventory.

Length
J-20 : 21.2 m
MMU : 21 m
SU-57 : 20.1 m
F-22 : 18.9 m
KF-21 : 16.9 m
F-35 : 15.7 m

1673534209620-jpeg.911135

1673536590428-jpeg.911140


TF-X ( MMU ) air superiority Fighter Jet but also has ground attack, electronic warfare capabilities to match with Rafale , Eurofighter , F-16V , F-15 , SU-35 in the region


The first step in the TF-X ( MMU ) is the General Electric F110 engine to make it 4.5+ generation Fighter Jet as 2028 , maybe earlier

The final stage is to develop a new generation indigenous engine to make the TF-X ( MMU ) truly 5th generation Fighter Jet as 2035 , maybe earlier

In my thread about the propellers,I stressed that I wasn't sure if it,while his posts are always absolute. Look! He posted the same post for a third time,with the part about the Eurofighter,Su-35 and Rafale included AGAIN. How do you describe this?
