ANKA-3
First flight, 28 Dec 2023

And ANKA-3's dimensions were changed and it grew larger.

European Countries ( France and The UK ) are targeting post-2030 for TARANIS and NEURON flying-wing stealth UCAVs

2027 for ANKA-3 will be a great success .... Also KIZILELMA by 2026

Eurofighter, KAAN and KIZILELMA to operate together

According to BAE Systems, the Eurofighter Typhoons that Turkey plans to procure will operate in integrated fashion with KAAN, F-16 ÖZGÜR, KIZILELMA, and ANKA-3.In the first phase, delivery of 20 Tranche 4 Eurofighters is planned starting from 2030, equipped with AESA radar, advanced electronic warfare systems, and Meteor and Storm Shadow missiles.

What do you mean with integrated? Nato Link16 or T-Link or will typhons be able to do MUM-T or just sharing Data?

What do you mean with integrated? Nato Link16 or T-Link or will typhons be able to do MUM-T or just sharing Data?

1 -- with Link-16 as the core NATO compatible tactical data link which ensures interoperability Turkish Eurofighter T-4s with existing F-16 OZGUR-2 , E-7T AEWC , SIPER-2 AD System , TF-2000 Destroyer , etc ( network centric warfare )


2 -- Turkiye has secured source code access to the Eurofighter's mission Systems , İf Turkiye integrate T-Link to Eurofighters , then Eurofighter T-4 can support multi-data link management ( Link-16 + T-Link ) to operate with KAAN , KIZILELMA , ANKA-3 , F-16 OZGUR-2 , etc


MUM-T concept
Network centric warfare capability
Cooperative engagement capability

i know what they are im asking what kind of integration will take place. because all of these systems i named require different level of modification. For instance if we were to integrate T Link that would mean we could integrate our own subsystems and with MUM-T modify the software.

 

[hyperman]

delivery date was due 2024, later 2025, later 2026 and now 2027, i think there is somebody who is very relax

I never ready delivery date at 2024, it flew in December 2023. People said 2026, so on that timeline, its not bad, especially considering the setbacks with the crash and the technical issues with no stabilizers.

Unlike the F-35's fully embedded prismatic AN/AAQ-40 EOTS or Turkey's ASELSAN TOYGUN on the Kızılelma (explicitly designed as radar-invisible/low-observable apertures with minimal RCS contribution), the GJ-11's EO system is a chin-mounted/underside fairing that is low-observable but not claimed as fully "invisible to radar." It resembles the J-20's chin EOTS more closely.


J-20 Stealth Integration:
The chin EOTS is embedded/optimized for low observability (faceted design, internal mounting), contributing to the J-20's frontal stealth focus. It's a core 5th-gen feature, allowing passive operations without radar emissions. Not claimed as perfectly "radar-invisible" as F-35/TOYGUN but designed to minimize RCS impact

In the 2024 air exercise between Qatar and Pakistan, the J-10C reportedly shut out Europe’s Eurofighter Typhoon 9-0.
People suddenly understand why Qatar wants to sell its Typhoon fighter jets.
Does Turkey still want to buy the Typhoon?
Maybe there’s no other choice — The only available options are the Typhoon or the Rafale.

Don’t ever say it has nothing to do with China — your own efforts definitely played a role here.

In 2025,Turkey exports only about $4.5 billion worth of goods to China ,mainly resources and agriculture products. while importing about $40 billion worth of goods from China, most of which are electronic products components.

Think about where those electronic products or components are being used.So China is happy to see the success of Turkey’s related industries: the more successful you become, the more you will import from China.

China doesnt have technology to produce Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors
( QWİP , INGaAS , Insb , HgCdTe )

Only USA , Turkiye , Israel and France in the world

Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP) and related materials (InGaAs, InSb, HgCdTe/MCT) are key infrared (IR) detector technologies used in military electro-optical systems like EOTS, IRST, FLIR, and targeting Pods


Turkiye doesnt buy anything from China except raw materials

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

And its high quality Turkish Aselsan ASELPOD Targeting Pod
( only 3 in NATO , USA - Turkiye - France )


Pakistan , Azerbaijan and Nigeria bought Turkish ASELPOD to use on the JF-17 Fighter Jets

What you said is all correct,may you happy.I hope all Turkish people are like you.

I’d still remind you to look at the trade numbers again.Interesting numbers, aren’t they?

Qatari Pilots are not good to compare with skilled Pakistani Pilots

The Eurofighter will be transformed into a deadly machine in the hands of skilled Turkish pilots.

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

The Eurofighter T4 is excellent Platform with state of the art AESA Radar + EW combination and METEOR air to air Missile

also Turkiye will integrate its Missiles and data-Link into the Eurofighter to operate with the KAAN and KIZILELMA manned-unmanned stealth Fighter Jets for network centric warfare and MUM-T concept
