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

[Yasser76]

F35 are not happening Trump wont risk getting in conflict with Jewish/Greek/armenian Lobby also there is strong bipartisan agreement against the export of F35. Over 80% of both parties unconditionally support israel so the chance of the americans giving us a possibility to negate Israel's air superiority advantage is slim.

Lets see, things are changing so I am not so sure

How about your India? Where does it rank?

Where you want my little stud. Not my problem.

700 million dollar.

The unit price will not be the same if it is a dry purchase, of with some ToT..... if ToT agreed by US senate.

 

[BonPlan]

Say the same that pulled Turkey outside the F-35 program.
What a mess this guy.

Its possible, but Japan has its own unique issue, namely export restrictions due to their post ww2 pacifism. Also that engine isn't in production, we don't know the status of that engine.

Yeah again true but what I read if it’s joint ventures it’s alright like their fighter jet that’s with several countries on a military collaboration it’s alright but thanks for answering back

 

[BonPlan]

why doesn’t turkey look for a joint venture with a country like Japan

Because Japan has nothing to learn from Turkey.
Because Japan is fully occupated with GCAP.

Because Japan has nothing to learn from Turkey.

And Turkiye has nothing to learn from Japan

btw , Japan has something to learn MUM-T from Turkiye for the 6th gen war concept

Japan has no technology to develop unmanned stealth Fighter Jets
only USA , Turkiye and China

KAAN's design features stealth, internal bays, nose and cheek radar. All of them carry 5th generation characteristics.

With the F110 engine we can also call it 5th generation.

When our own engine arrives, we can call it 5.5 generation.

The Trump administration bypasses Congress and passes a $700 million engine deal to strengthen Türkiye’s fight against Kaan

Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün: "As you know, the test flights we shared with the public took place. A number of experiences and insights were gained from those test flights. Production of these test prototypes has begun ahead of serial production. We currently have 6 prototypes. Production of these prototypes is ongoing. -Some of these prototypes will be used in ground tests, and some in flight tests. With this approach, we actually planned to shorten a process that could take longer, and it is continuing within the framework of this planning."

It means nothing.

This is an opposition politician, and Trump has already oked the sale. she doesn't have power to do anything.

 

[Pokemonte13]

White house wouldn't have gone through with it if they expected a block. More of a formality
