Turkey Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

They are now taking their time with the T35000, integration to start only in 2032. How are they going to be able to export it to Indonesia by then? Or are they doing it on purpose so in the case of delays, there'll be less disappointment?

"Early tests of the TF35000, Türkiye's highest thrust domestic and national turbofan engine developed by TEl, are planned to be carried out in 2026 and its integration into KAAN is planned to take place in 2032."

Turkey has published footage of the testing of the new super-powerful GAZAP aerial bomb. The bomb weighs about 910 kg and was developed by Turkish companies MKE and Tubitak Sage. The GAZAP bomb is based on the Mk-84 bomb. The bomb has a thermobaric charge. The aerosol is sprayed, after which it detonates, the explosion creates a destructive shock wave and extreme temperatures. In addition to the thermobaric effect, the bomb is equipped with striking elements. The Mk84 Gazap bomb can be installed on F-4 and F-16 fighters.

Electro optic systems, coupled with EW and radar systems, ICNI, Kaan's central management computer/IPU (F-35's computer like system) and many more will be on P1, apparently

Do you know if the IRIS-300 systems will also be present on P1?

Latest rendering of TF2000. Revised X-band radar Cenk 500-N (looks like navalized Akrep-1000G) and AESA based EW systems. Radar panels of the Cenk 600-N seem even bigger now:

These radars are behemoths. A rectangle ALP 300-G with 5x5 meters sides? More like navilised ALP 500-G (with 6x6 meters sides).


The hangar doors are ~7 meters wide, beam is 21.3 meters

The Turks should be thankful for every day TRNC is still in their hands. That might change sooner than later.

Just my two cents.

This is what I meant:


To prevent such a thing from happening, they need at least 30 FOC Kizilelma's to deter zionist F-35's and greek Rafales operating in a possible Cyprus scenario. And those 30 FOC Kizilelma's are at least 4 years away.

It might all be too little, too late in the end. It's exactly in these coming 4 years where the Turks will be very vulnerable. They never thought Assad would go and would've have to face the rabid zoinists by themselves. Iran is also out of the fight. Pakistan too far away and doesn't have the capability to support anyway. Not even with their HQ-9B's to provide airdefence over TRNC from Anatolian territory.

After a closer look, I think they deleted one entire vertical row of subarrays so, 64*16=1024 TRM.

After another closer look, there is no difference in size. They made use of every millimeter in Akinici's nose to make it fit.

Still using Wescam MX-15. I hope they'll use Aselflir for the serial production.

If you believe this source, Anka-4 is pretty much alive and to be B-2 sized

"For the time being TUSAŞ has already started working on the Anka IV project, which EDR On-Line was told will have “a B-2 size.” "
