TF-X / KAAN / Hürjet Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircrafts News & Discussions

Better worry about your France which will use only old RAFALEs until 2050
FCAS project is dead

Neither France nor Germany can launch a €100 billion euro project on their own
My sweet little MMM-E, SCAF as a germano/spanich/french program is dead indeed.
Fortunately for France because we are the sole european country able to study and produce 100% of a fighter.
Now Dassault has free hands to work on this next gen jet, and it will be a technical success as Rafale was, as Mirage 2000 was, etc... Same can't always be said of Tornado or Eurofigter. Now that we are alone, so agile, a 2040 entry date seems possible again.

Rafale ? Rafale F5 will be a new jet, with new radar, new SPECTRA, new engines, comunication nodes, new UCAV, new weapons. It will remain in the force until 2070 at least.

I wish your glider KAAN half the success of Rafale, it is already a fantasm.
 
Please! I know Israel is the number one bully on the world stage next to Donald Trump, but neither Israel nor - or ever - Greece will attack Turkey in the near future. This is a stupid threatening background only built up in the nationalisation of the masses behind government decisions.

I appreciate you may not be as deeply involved in the geopolitics of the region or follow the threads as closely on those topics, so as at a surface level inspection you may think this. Others can opine.

However - this is a bit of an off topic conversation on this thread, so I will stop here/now.

I beg to differ. Netanyahu is a rabid mad dog lashing out and is possible of ANYTHING. His survival is the utmost in his head and peace allows potentially of his embezzlement trial to crack on so no dont count him out in my opinion.........
 
btw , there is no big different for Economy
S.Korea : $1,931 trillion
Turkiye : $1,640 trillion
There is a huge difference :

S Korea : 1931 $ trillion for 52 million people
Turkeye : 1640 $ trillion for nearly 88 million people

i mean its hard to imagine especially after they wasted a lot of munitions against Iran (Talking about Israel here) but i also wouldn't have expected the attack at doha i know it was against hamas but still. But i think the chance of an attack is very low and depends on the american commitment to israel.

And the main political rival for Netanyahu is Naftali Bennett, who is equally bad and has made references to Turkieye.

Even KIZILELMA unmanned stealth Fighter Jet will be enough to match with the RAFALE in BVR combat

Thanks to new capabilities such as
Stealth design for much lower RCS than all 4,5th gen Fighters
Internal Weapon Bays for stealth flight capability
MURAD AESA Radar
KARAT IRST
FEWS-U Electronic Warfare Suire
National datalink ( T-LINK ) for network centric warfare
185+ km GOKBORA ramjet powered air to air Missile with AESA radar seeker


I wish you glider KAAN half the success of Rafale, it is already a fantasm.

RAFALE and success ? when ? no any real combat success
Pakistani Pilots turned Indian RAFALEs into burnt bird in BVR combat

Once KAAN enters service, it will outperform RAFALE, even with its F-110 engine.

The biggest issue for Dassault was never the technology or the timeline (to many cooks spoil the food) it was money. They most likely need foreign investment and the foreign money comes with expectations of ToT and coproduction/development and that is something ,you can agree on, the french don't like.
 
There is a huge difference :

S Korea : 1931 $ trillion for 52 million people
Turkeye : 1640 $ trillion for nearly 88 million people

GDP is nothing to do with population
88 million Turkiye has bigger GDP than almost 100 million Egypt + 90 million Iran + 260 million Pakistan + 170 million Bangladesh combined

S.Korea is lucky that not fighting terrorism and not facing multi national allience

Turkiye lost trillions of Dollars to fight terrorism since 1985 and USA-Israel backed military coups .. also attacks on Turkish economy

Still no big difference .. only $290 billion GAP

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Turkish economy grew, investment in the defense industry increased; today, Turkiye is developing military projects worth over $100 billion.
 
A whole bunch of Turkey haters and skeptics are going to be silenced by the end of this decade. We don't need to say anything, just keep the receipts on those that talked smack and belittled Turkish projects, when Turkey actually delivers. @MMM-E

Rafale developpment was made without any foreign investment, at least up to F4 std.
At the end it cost less to France for a whole jet than to GB for a 33% stake... and far more export success....
It seems we ask UAE to invest in F5. We refused the proposed deal because of too sensible ToT expected. Talks are in progress again.

SCAF, or NGF (New Generation Fighter) : The burden can, once again, be supported by the sole french, specially since Rafale is an export success. After all it is a 15 to 20 years effort. Even a 100 bilions bill (less I think), divided in 15 years is very easy to deal with, even with our huge debt.

I'm quite sure that if Rafale had been an export failure, Dassault would have been forced to be smooth with Airbus. Now they are in a position of strenght.

You did say something disgusting by bringing family when replying to my post without any provocation. While my post did not contain anything personal or insulting. (Should sincerely apologise)

But back to topic, Eurofighter is indeed superior to Rafale.

When it comes to kinematics, Eurofighter flies faster and higher. Which matters in BVR combat. You did not provide any evidence to your claim that it cannot sustain high altitude.

Rafale has higher turn rate at low speed. But that's only relevant to WVR combat. Which is something only Russians care about.

Sure, Rafale has slightly higher payload at 9.5 tonnes. But it isn't 7.5 tonnes for Eurofighter. Typhoon is actually structurally cleared to carry 9 tonnes. But the fact is neither jets carry those numbers into real life operational Scenarios. Because there are no combination of weapons and fuel tanks that reaches that limit while not exceeding payloan specific capacity.


There is no credible evidence or OSINT analysis that says Rafale actually has lower RCS than Eurofighter. Both were aircrafts had conflicting reports about its RCS. Both reported to be ranging in-between 1-0.5m².

As for AESA radar development, Eurofighter isn't 10 years late as you claim. Consortium successfully completed AESA development under caeser program in 2000s. Which first flew in 2007 and euroradar consortium was ready to provide partner nations in 2010 with AESA front-end. (For comparison, Rafale recieved its AESA in 2012)

However, Captor M was already a capable FCR, and partner nations didn't feel the the urgency to justify the cost for AESA upgrade at that time.

What is important to note is, RBE2 AESA version uses same back-end as the pesa version. A processor unit that is quite old by today's standard. RBE2-XG might change that with new LRUs. But it isn't here yet.

Caeser program also did the same thing, it used back-end hardware of captor M and install and AESA.

However ECRS mk0 is a new radar designed from 2014-2020. It utilises the experience gained from Ceaser program. But it brings new front-end (next gen TRM compared to the one used on Caeser prototype) and new back-end LRUs. (Much more capable processor unit than original Captor M)

As to your claim it does not have air to ground fanction, well it does.

As for radar aperture, antenna size matter very much. The more T/RM you have the tighter beam you can generate. And the tighter your beam is, the further it can see and the better ECCM it has. It is a simple function of radar equation.

RBE2 has 838 T/RM. While ERCS MK0 has at least 1500 T/RM. It's gonna have close to 50% more in range performance at minimum. (Assuming they both bring similar technology. MK0 is actually newer)


Here is a simplified formula given by the AESA radar calculator developer.

"Rfac = ((Nx/Nref)^3*(Px/Pref))^(1/4)

Where the Px is your target/scaled radar's TRM power, Nx is your target/scaled radar's TRM number while variable with "ref" in it is the reference value or baseline value. Rfac here is range factor which you can multiply with your radar's reference range"

And we are not even discussing the advantages of swashplate in BVR combat. It allows you to move away earlier while maintaining lock. A worthwhile advantage.

This is way Turkish Eurofighter is gonna have an edge in BVR against greek Rafale.
