It is just a midway solution. The lightly armed version of the T625 GOKBEY.
Also a small demonstration opportunity for armed platform capabilities of the TS1400.
Later we will integrate TS1400 to T129 then maybe we will change its name.
Even if we produce all subparts locally all of them have their price tag. They are not free you know.
Especially for us (for Turkey) all parts generally expensive than foreign ones. Because we have to add investment and development expense to the product price. That's why we need to export more.
Your price tag is too low for AKINCI. Two engine, lots of electronic sub systems etc. AKINCI far more complex than TB2. Even ANKAs' price tag more than your price tag for AKINCI
I don't agree with you. In my opinion, the Turkish Air Force will not deploy fighter to Al Waitya, this will not be a secure decision. GNA will use the Al Waitya for UAV flights to increase their range. But the area doesn't completely secure for Turkish Air Force. The Turkish Air Force is a...
Actually, S-400 isn't the reason why we can't get the F-35s. S-400 just an easily acceptable cover.
F-35 is a really different fighter than the previous generation, first of all, all countries get the same model with the US. This make the F-35 really a strategic tool. The US politicians decided...
That idea several times announced by different authorities. But, we couldn't see any developments in that area. Last year ANKA-S used to track forest fire in Izmir but it was not operating department of foresty.
Bayraktar TB2 was born as a tactical level UAV platform with lower requirements. One step further means ANKA, then AKSUNGUR and last step, for now, is AKINCI. From ANKA changes all start with Satcom, more payload, domestic FLIR system and so on.
Yes it will. TS1400 which is developing by TEI, will fly later this year with Gokbey, after airworthiness and certification process, T129 ATAK will test the engine for recertification.
Depends on the ongoing operations level we will see Aksungur this year if the air force accepts it.
For AKINCI case, we need more time, AKSUNGUR is based on ANKA, but AKINCI is a completely new platform, even if it would be delivered to the air force, operation teams need to get experience on...
There are some rumors on Hürjets' engine, I am not sure which engine will be used on it.
We are going to use F110 on TFX prototypes, at least all information point this engine for now.
