And since more and more weapon systems rely heavily on programs and electronic interactions ... it is irresponsible and dangerous to accept some kind of 'back door' in the systems that allows another actor to compromise them.

I want to remind the influence of Turkey from Imperial times. Turkey has direct political influence from North Africa to Middle east, from Balkans to Caucausus, From Central Asia to South Asia. Even when Turkey build a standart featured weapon with reasonable price many countries would prefer to buy it from Turkey due to historical connections and mutual interests. Because Turkey wouldn't impose sanctions to those countries like western manufacturers do. So if Kaan will successfully enter the mass production not only Azerbaijan and Pakistan will buy it. Central Asian countries, Arabic Gulf Countries, North African countries would buy it too. And more production means price per unit will be cheaper. That would make the project more sustainable and price competetive than western alternatives.

Watching the video prepared by an expert like you, whom I value, made me happy as a Turk. In general, I have nothing to object to and you made very accurate analyses. However, there are some points I would like to add: The first prototype of an aircraft is not normally flown. However, TAI started flying both KAAN and HÜRJET aircraft since their first prototypes. Deeply adopted new technologies play a big role in this. Simulations, digital twins, etc. Normally, confidentiality is taken into account on these prototypes. This first KAAN shows too much. The reason for this is that the aircraft will undergo more changes. The second prototype will fly soon and you will see a completely different nose. Certain countries produce aircraft with different design priorities. For Türkiye, priority is given to a warplane that will cause damage if hit. We can understand this from the thick neck of the plane. This section, which is most susceptible to breakage in most other aircraft, is targeted by IIR guided missiles such as the Israeli Phyton 5. (Most of the structural weak points were strengthened.) It is a multi-mission aircraft that will start its life as a stealth-designed F-15 and can progress to the F-35 and beyond as its subsystems mature. But this will take time and will be shaped around a newly established ecosystem. I consider it highly likely that European defense and aerospace projects will benefit from the efforts of this ecosystem and the modern subsystems it will produce. In short, KAAN and HÜRJET projects will also benefit Europe. I wish you to make more videos on the Turkish defense and aerospace industry. I am especially curious about your opinions on HÜRJET, which is a candidate to be the modern interpretation of the much-missed F-5 and MiG-21, and has a reliable design and reliable technologies.

Eastern Europe buys Russian. South East Asia buys American or indigenous. Literally only Africa seems possible. But they mostly can't afford fifth Gen.

[@waynesworldofsci-tech]

@@sparkzbarca Um; no. The Russian aerospace industry has massive issues. The Chinese have huge quality problems. That leaves the Swedes. Yes, the Gripen is fifth gen without full stealth features. It’s nearly as stealthy as the SU-57. The Korean one will be good. But expensive. The US is too expensive. The Rafale isn’t as good as the Gripen currently, though it is low observable. The problem is the computer systems. If Turkiye can produce Hurjet and Kaan for a lower price than the competition, while offering relatively similar features, you have a market. Say Turkiye manages to see 50 Hurjets. That will help lower production costs for your own planes, but also help cover development. That’s what the Russians did, until their engineering went to hell. That’s why India is working on their own design. They helped fund development of the SU-57 but decided to drop out, bought Rafales, and are now working on their own designs. The country Turkiye would be competing in that market with is India.

[@aybarsmeric]

@@waynesworldofsci-tech In fact, the genie is out of the bottle in the defense and aerospace industry. But no one has noticed this enough yet. The USA, which has extensive war experience, was the most reliable and sustainable supplier in the field of defense for a long time. As technology developed, it consolidated this position. It has now entered another period in which it will decline as technology develops. Many countries are still waiting in line for the manned F-16 fighter jet. There are significant question marks over the F-35 aircraft and these are also expressed by the countries that use this aircraft. (ALIS, signals intelligence claims, etc.) Even if the USA gave the next generation unmanned warplane for free, there are many countries that would not trust it and buy it. Seeing this, the USA wants to penetrate these markets through countries such as South Korea and Türkiye. (A change of management would instantly turn the relations between Turkey and the USA, which seem to be at odds today, into besties.) For this reason, it does not hesitate to give engines to planes like KAAN. Of course, chips and other subsystems that are difficult to produce locally. Therefore yes. It looks like it will be a very qualified export product...

It was determined that the FBW system was reacting to expansion joints in the taxiway/runway. The sensitivity of the system was tuned to reduce sensitivity. Each minor impact by first, the nose wheel and then the main gears, introduced small pitch changes that the computer interpreted as up or downdrafts that it attempted to null out by deflecting the horizontal tail to counter those forces.

[@kathrynck]

That sort of HS instability (wobble) is caused by software and incorrect compensation for latency in FBW. It's definitely not the first plane to have that problem. Kind of a series of overcorrections chasing it's tail (pun intended) in a latency loop. Rather dangerous really. But entirely fixable. Interesting design. Small central tail solves some aerodynamic & raydome considerations in a tidy fashion. With F110 engines, it's going to have some significant range limits, ~or~ payload limits. Aerodynamically it looks good. But it's quite difficult to fit everything '5th gen' inside a sleek looking airframe. I guess they're addressing that with sheer airframe size.

[@terranscope]

Thank you for one of your best overviews to date. You never state what you do not know and, as an expert, some things which you DO know cannot be disclosed until manufacturers say so. Speculation is a way of losing trust. However, inference from design features is fair and what stands out to me is the amount of generating power built into the KAAN. I know that UK and Turkish engineers interact on several ventures and we have had a large Turkish population in Britain since 1918. I am pleased that Brit Turks were never treated as inferiors as in some countries and can only recall, in my 75 years of life, minor tensions when the Cyprus troubles were were in progress. I was a young schoolboy then and my grandfather, who had fought in WW1, always commented that 'an Ottoman's word is his bond' -- even though his first contact with Turkish people was being at war with them. He said that they were like Brits and Russians in codes of honour. This has been my experience too. Back to the generators: shades of Project Tempest? It is highly probable that designated KAAN planes will be drone carriers and controller and that is one explanation for the weapons bay side doors and boxy shape of the fuselage. It would nice to think that Ankara and London could resolve their engine squabbles and perhaps decisions should be with co-engineers and designers rather than politicians. My own feeling, over decades, is that British aviation was all but killed off by association with the USA and that the last straw was the F-35 scam against the only 'Tier 1' partner. BAE, unfortunately, left it perhaps too late for Turkey's liking, to divest of US access to components, even though BAE US division was mainly concerned with land weapons. Rolls Royce undoubtedly has refined thrust vector engineering, perhaps to its peak at present, and of course invented it -- hence Japan joining Tempest but when one considers how Turkey totally rebuilt the F-16s it reluctantly bought, (thus escaping OEM bullying) perhaps it can make something as good on its own.

Clickbait aside, it's genuinely impressive they pulled off a decent (at least geometry-wise) 5th gen stealth aircraft as their first ever platform. Something that even Russia who has a well developed military industry is struggling to wrap their heads around. I hope they manage fitting it with domestic internals (like engines) eventually.

[@sheptang]

The official goal for the domestically developed engine for KAAN is a 35000 Lb stealth engine. Having two of these, KAAN will for sure meet its goal of Mach 1.8 and supercruise capabilities. Recently, Turkish Engine Industries (subsidiary of the TAI) has already produced the prototype of TEI TF6000, a 6000 Lb 5th gen engine. This is obviously a stepping stone for the actual goal of 35000 Lb. At this point, the engine pretty much only scales up in size to be able to match higher thrust power. On the other hand, TAEC (Turkish Air Engine Company) as a consortium of Turkish KALE Group 51% and British Rolls Royce 49%, is separately working on another iteration of the desired 35000 Lb 5th gen engine. It is highly likely that there is or will be some level of technology transfer in between TEI and TAEC, as well. Afterall, TAEC was initially founded solely with the purpose of the domestic design and production of a 5th gen engine specifically for KAAN. But it doesn't mean that TEI is dedicated to design and produce engines for KAAN only, more likely to kickstart the engine development for KAAN, but on the bigger picture, to ensure domestic aerial engine R&D becomes a tradition for the Turkish arms industry.

[@hotstepper887]

I'm English, and what I'd like to know, is why we read so many Americans making such ridiculous claims, like the F-22, is so much better than the Russian SU-57, (that relies on washing machine chip technology), and has the RCS (radar cross-section) of a Jumbo Jet? Seriously, just what on earth is that all about? Not only is that claim completely wrong, but it couldn't be any more wrong! The really obvious, and factual truth, is, they've no idea what the RCS of any military aircraft is, as they're always kept classified! But even more stupidly, they never even ask any of the most obvious questions, as they all, always, just assume so much! Questions like, what do either the F-22, or F-35's have available to them, to detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft, from BVR (beyond visual range)? And yet, if they had just asked that one, really obvious question, then maybe they'd understand, that today's reality is nothing at all, like they think! Seemingly, they don't even understand, that stealth alone, defeats high-frequency (short wave), radar, by absorption and deflection, but it does not defeat low-frequency (long wave radar). Therefore, to detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR, can be done with long-wave radar, (but it must also be enhanced), to remove all background clutter for targeting purposes. So, regardless of the aircraft's RCS (they all believe means so much), when they're being detected, tracked and targetted by long wave radar, they're far from stealthy, and they just light up, and they stand out like a beacon in the night. It also seems, they don't know that neither the APG-77 radar in the F-22, or the APG-81 radar in the F-35, have any kind of long wave radar, (hence, they can't detect any enemy stealth aircraft from BVR). So, just think about that, and what it actually means? This is also a fact, the US air force will be fully aware of, only it seems the reality is, when the F-35 radars were being designed 13 years ago, there were no other stealth aircraft to think about as a potential threat! So, obviously, we must ask, just what do the F-22, or the F-35, actually have available to them, to detect enemy stealth aircraft from BVR? They have, AWACS, (that can transfer all targetting data to the F-22 - F-35's in real time). Only, that's not possible today. And this is why actually understanding any potential adversaries, real abilities, becomes extremely important, critical in fact. As, on the other hand, we find this Russian SU-57, (rubbish) the Americans all claim, is equipped with a 5th generation radar, (with enhanced long-wave radar), their new Byelka (2band) radar used in SU-57. They can detect, track, and target enemy stealth jets from BVR, and very easily today. Russia has designed, and developed, the first L-Band fighter radar we've ever seen. They've embedded L-band AESA radars into the leading edges of the wings. The L-band AESA radar "data" gets processed in real time (through extremely powerful Russian computers), being significantly enhanced, removing all background clutter, seeing them perfectly able to detect, track, and engage enemy stealth aircraft from BVR. This new Russian radar technology, along with its very impressive range parameters, and it's jamming ability (over very large areas) make this aircraft deadly to all other aircraft types. (But according to the Americans), it's just Russian rubbish, right? They can also detect, track, and target enemy stealth fighters, long before they enter Russian airspace, (from much greater distances today), with "real-time" data from all those massive Russian ground (long wave stations), that are all protected with the networked S-400 defensive system. Russia's new (2band) radar, covers all frequencies across all channels, used for tracking, targeting, and also for jamming (over large areas). It's part of Sh121 multifunctional integrated radio electronic system (MIRES) on board the SU-57. We should also understand, that Russia tested this new radar suit in the SU-35's, so they also have the option of fitting this radar into the SU-35's. Seeing the SU-35 at no disadvantage against either the F-22/35. As although the SU-35 can be detected, tracked, targeted and shot down from BVR by the US stealth fighters, the SU-35 equipped with this new radar is just as able to detect, track, target and shoot down the US stealth fighters from BVR. Seeing the all-important, huge Russian advantage, in BVR missile range, plus the excellent manoeuvring, neither the F-22/F-35 have, as more than critical, (if you're going to avoid simply being blown out of the sky). The truth is, this new Russian 5th generation radar, design, has very clear potentials, to provide genuine shared multifunction apertures, with applications including... Search, track, and destroy, missile mid-course guidance, against low signature aircraft, identification of friend or foe with secondary surveillance radar. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters at long ranges. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of L-band AEWC - AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of hostile (i.e. Western) IFF and SSR transponders at long ranges. High-powered active jamming of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters. High-powered active jamming of satellite navigation receivers over large areas. High-powered active jamming of L-band AEWC-AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges. High-powered active jamming of guided munition command data links over large areas. [Effectively, and completely, neutralizing the USA's use of AWACS for their detection]. The Tikhomirov NIIP L-band, AESA 5th generation radar, is an extremely important strategic development, and it's a technology which once fully matured and deployed in useful numbers, will render narrowband stealth designs like the F-22 & F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and many, UAVs, as highly vulnerable to all flanker variants equipped with such radars. Furthermore, just what have the Americans, ever seen the F-22 actually, do? Well, other than flying over a beach, on a KZbin video? Absolutely nothing!

[@hotstepper887]

The F-35B, was claimed to be a stealthy single engine multirole combat aircraft, that unlike the Harrier, would be supersonic, stealthy, with modern avionics systems, and like the Harrier, would be VTOL capable. This is why the British originally designed our two carriers without ramps. Only one of the biggest technical headaches, the British always had when building the Harrier, was the VTOL, - transferring from "lift" (downward nozzles), to forward flight (rear-facing nozzles), to then fly away from the lift-off. Apparently to achieve it took the British a hell of a lot of technical work, (three - four months at a time, over 3 years). Look up all the variants they made, but they never gave up, and they finally figured it out. I made the claim long before we saw the F-35B, that it wouldn't be VTOL capable, (even with the Rolls-Royce lift engines), because, the US has tried to produce and build a VTOL combat aircraft many times before, only they've failed each time, only ever managing to produce and build the British Sea Harrier, able to do so. Every US airframe (and there have been many), have all failed. I'll show you what I mean... Copy and paste “2013 MCAS Yuma Air Show - AV8B Harrier Demo” into KZbin search. At 7 mins, 50 seconds, you'll watch a Harrier performing a proper VTOL. You'll see it lift off vertically, and then fly away from the lift-off, and you'll see the transfer of nozzles take place. -- Yet you'll not ever see any footage anywhere, of the F-35B performing a full VTOL. Yet Lockheed Martin do claim it is VTOL capable, when it, so clearly, is not. Copy and Paste “First F-35B Vertical Takeoff Test” into KZbin search. You'll see it lift off, only then you'll see it return straight back down from the lift-off. You'll never see it fly away from the lift-off, if it could, we'd see footage of it doing so - like we still see on all the footage of the Harrier doing so. But you'll not find any footage, anywhere, of the F-35B performing a VTOL. The Americans, (unable to answer this), will then comically claim it's not necessary? LOL, (while forgetting, they're to be carrier-based aircraft), meaning even any slight damage to the deck or ramp, they'd be unable to get the jets airborne? Defeating the entire purpose of having the aircraft in the first place! You can't ever lose an entire carrier, in battle, for only minor damage?, I mean goodness me, whatever next?. So, why do we see the USA doing this? It's obviously because, the US is still a country that's never managed to produce & build a VTOL fighter aircraft. Britain did so in the late 50s, Russia did so in the late 60s, the USA has tried and failed numerous times, so it seems this time, they're going to try to lie about it LOL. That country is a travesty, man! But it does show us, that Lockheed do indeed produce propaganda aircraft, as the F-22 is exactly the same... A failed aircraft, so today, only being used for propaganda purposes! Typical US propaganda, usually consists of silly falsehoods, fake misinformation claims, or just twisted truths, like the F-15, is said to be unbeaten in A2A combat? It's true (ish), only when we look at every aircraft shot down by an F-15?, we find that none had any offensive capabilities, most had little if anything defensive, many without even a basic radar, meaning, you'd be absolutely stunned, if the F-15 didn't shoot every one of them down! So it really is, once again, and as always, just a very silly, and meaningless remedial propaganda claim. However, there is another aircraft, that's also unbeaten in A2A combat, and has faced off against aircraft just as capable and well armed as itself, (only it's not American, so you'll never hear about it). The British Sea Harrier, is actually, the only aircraft unbeaten in A2A combat, that has faced off against worthy, and viable opposition. And that really is a huge factor, that's worth knowing, unlike the F-15 propaganda claim, that you'd be shocked if it hadn't managed. The Americans really should be questioning why the US government made it illegal to sell the F-22? The US government, seemingly want it believed, that because it's so good, they don't want anyone else to have it. Yet, that actually makes no sense at all, none, not even a little sense. As the facts are, they've no idea what's around the corner in new modern military technologies, and with the speed we're seeing so much new hi tech, military tactical hardware, being designed, developed, and created today, it could have made great sense to sell the F-22 at some stage. (If it actually works). If it worked, they'd have been able to recoup many of the resources spent on the aircraft, if not the resources in their entirety, even a profit! Yet, as always, there's another, and much more likely, reason the USA made it illegal to sell the F-22. If it is, just as I suspect it is, a "lemon", that was intended to be their leading front line strike aircraft, (that's failed), yet because of the cost/expense, to design and build them, they can't just write it off. So the US have then only used the F-22 for propaganda purposes? Then what better way of preventing anyone else from finding out, that it actually doesn't work, and really is a lemon, than making it illegal to sell? Logically, that's the only real possible reason the USA made it illegal to sell the F-22. -- It can only be, because it's a failed aircraft that was intended to be their leading front line 5th generation strike aircraft. Well 20 years the US have had the F-22 in service, and they've been in wars the entire time, yet they've never used it, not once! And even more telling, was, after Russia arrived in Syria in 2015, the US removed every F-22 from right across the Middle East... Iraq, Tukey, UAE and Jordan. Absolutely no doubt about it, I guarantee that we'll never see the F-22 involved in any real war scenario, or even involved in any major sortie, because it's basically junk. They've even trashed all the infrastructure they had in place to build more of them.

Kaan Avionics = IRFS (AESA Radar, Electronic Warfare (EW)) Advanced Navigation Features (ICNI) Integrated Electro-Optical Systems (IEOS) (Infrared Search and Track (IRST), Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) etc.) Yet stealth alone, defeats high-frequency (short wave), radar, by absorption and deflection, but it does not defeat low-frequency (long wave radar). Therefore, to detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR, can be done with long-wave radar, (but it must also be enhanced), to remove all background clutter for targeting purposes. This is, just like both the F-35 and F-22, it has no long wave radar! Therefore, it is blind to all other stealth aircraft!

​@@hotstepper887 how much misinformation are you going to Post ruski wh0re?

[@The_ZeroLine]

@@hotstepper887Are you OK?

Awesome video, you Turkish Shrill! But seriously the amount of effort you put into researching and producing videos is very admirable. It is not a flood of misleading numbers and stats. No political or virtue signaling. Good context and details. All very relevant.

This is called PT-0. So we will see many differences when PT-1 and PT-2 come.
