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

[GoatsMilk]

The attempts by fools within Türkiye to attack and discredit Turkish military projects are worse than what the Greek, Jewish, Armenian and Indian lobbies are doing

Even the Chinese on PDF didn't call KAAN a radiator

KAAN's P1 prototype has a smaller and more athletic (slimmer) overall body structure compared to the P0 prototype

You have to understand Turks came as conquerors to the lands. A 1/3rd of the country is comprised of minorities, the descendants of those who were conquered by the Turks. While the state makes them an equal stake holder of it like any other citizen, the bitterness and envy is hereditary.

Just because they have Turkish names and speak Turkish, dont be fooled to think they are Turks. Its no different to how the cypto-juice operate globally.

Just look at the traitorous islamists feto, nearly entirely comprised of minorities.

I find it interesting that even in P1, that the tips of flight services have not been clipped the same way the F22 Raptor has, which would helps with stealth from the rear angled situations.

It is a minor detail and probably not relevant to the use case for the KAAN but there is not much else to separate the shape of the airframe at this point. It is the cousin of the F22 Raptor!

Lockheed built the F-22, but the F-35 they didn't clip it either.

F-22 vs KAAN


The main reason why KAAN's front profile is more vertical, wider and more voluminous compared to the F-22 is the modern 5th-gen multi sensor architecture it incorporates in its nose and fuselage

TOYGUN EOTS
KARAT IRST
and massive MURAD-600A AESA Radar

Both F-22 and KAAN have S routing duct to hide Engine comprassor blades from direct enemy radar signals

$120 Million per plane.

But that is horribly expensive. I did some further querying based on your answer and the international export version of the KAAN could be $200 million apiece!!!

A lot of potential customers in the Global South could instead choose the Chinese J-35A which is at $85 million apiece.

You should check how much India paid for Rafales. The $200 I haven't seen that before but it might include the weapons package and training as well, not just the plane itself.

The J-35A is not going to be $85 Million it will be higher, almost no jet is $85 these days, not F-16 not anything.

This is a Heavy fighter, not a light fighter or a medium fighter, and as well there are a lot of features it has, IRST + EOTS, the subsystems like the F110 is also more expensive compared to Chinese engines. I don't know what the J-35A price is going to be but I don't think it will be as cheap as $85.

The specs for the KAAN are closer to the J-20 than the J-35.
