Turkiye will totally change the rules of game in region: TF-X MMU Stealth Fighter

[MMM-E]

HURJET will carry 8 x Miniature Bombs ( range of 100 km ) to attack 8 different targets in one sortie

SSB Abdurrahim Şeref: MMU TF-X should be a joint program. We are negotiating for joint development with countries from Asia and different regions of the World.

TAI negotiates with countries who want to be partner of Tf-X. Those countries will be a costumer of Tf-X as well.

I guess, sales will not be limited to TF-X

Official schedule for TFX:
2023- First Roll-out ceremony
2026- Starting flight tests
2031- Completion of acceptance tests

It was confirmed by the Secretariat General of the Presidency. I think, We will see the 1/1 scale final design in Idef19.

If a country has never design 4th gen fighters, then designing 5th gen fighters can be extremely difficult. Not to mention the cost of development.

The Turkish assumption is that countries like USA, China and Russia is going to sit around and wait until Turkey catch up to them.

At least Turkey tries to build a independent defence industry,... anyways leave this place if you can't contribute something to the topic except troll comments.

TF-X Flight-arm very advanced data-link network system development program.

Equivalent products!

• F-35 MADL data-link
• F-22 IFDL data-link

Flight arm data-link technology requires a level of knowledge and expertise and It is only 5G level network technology that is able to achieve this mission. The developing and applying this technology to the required time and to realize it in a cost-effective way requires considerable knowledge and infrastructure.

Meteksan Defense, which cooperates with Bilkent University, also takes advantage of the pioneering technologies developed by its academic staff. A development demonstrating the importance and value of these technologies took place in July. At the ceremony held on July 26, Huawei has given a plaque, which was written “Father of Polar Code”, to Prof. Dr. Erdal Arikan who is the lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Bilkent University and a member of the Board of Director of Meteksan defense. He used the Polar Coding Method in his 5G studies. Prof. Dr. Erdal Arikan also cooperates to Meteksan’s development efforts for Turkey’s 5G and TF-X data-link programs.

Meteksan Defense; working on an in-box flight arm data link solution taking into account the invisibility requirements of Turkish stealth fighter platforms. The solution that Meteksan Defense works on will have the following features:

• Coverage including tactical formation of a flight arm
• Multi-antenna placement to maintain network connectivity while maneuvering aircraft
• To be able to work at higher frequencies,
• Network topology and dynamic network management that can handle a flight arm and handle flight separation,
• Ability to provide time synchronization with a special algorithm,
• Direct and low-detection data transmission,
• High data transmission speed required by modern applications,
• National crypto, frequency jumping and spreading spectrum.

Wow...

"[Shenzhen, China, July 26, 2018] Huawei today presented a special award to Turkish professor Dr. Erdal Arikan, the inventor of polar codes for 5G, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the development of communications technology."
