In February, images of the Turkish 5th generation fighter appeared as the prototype plane was seen taxiing, under its own power. Turkey has been pumping into its aerospace sector in last few decades, it’s evident turkey is planning to break into top 5 countries when it comes to combat aircraft technology. This video explores the TFX fighter.

Up to now, it has seemed going well for helicopters and a training jet. They have produced more than 250 pc of F16s in Türkiye under the licence of USA. So they know how to build an aircraft and its private high tech companies have expertise in avionics. Within a decade, they can have their own 5th gen jet plane. If they became succesfull, performance would be in NATO standards and performance-price index would be highly compatitive in the market. For the main missing technology such as building a jet engine, I think they will find a proper partner within NATO countries.

Why does this plane looks like f22? Because low radar cross section aircraft desings should be similar to each other. There are several delta wing aircraft designs but the lowest radar cross sections on delta wing designs are diamond and lambda design. Diamond design is used as cropped diamond delta wing design for better maneuverability. It has second lowest radar cross section in delta wind designs but cropped diamond geometry gives very high maneuverability. Multi role or fighter jets are using this design geometry. F22, f35, tfx or su57 they all use variations of this design. But if you look at the planes from sides or front you would see similar geometry. Lowest radar section on delta wing designs is LAMBDA design. It is also called flying wing form. It is most stealthy design in geometry but it has very low maneuverability. But this flying wing form geometry makes the aircraft carry more payload. So this lambda design is used in stealth bombers which doesnt need much maneuverability. f117, X-47B(drone), Turkish Anka-3(drone) are using this lambda design. So it is very normal that stealth planes look like each other because they have to stick with similar geometry and on engineering they use similar solutions.

[@o.429]

KAAN is larger because Turkish Air Force demands it to be multirole unlike F22. Unlike small diameter AA missiles it needs to carry AG munitions which are larger and heavier. At the same time Air Force wants it to be capable of air superiority. So... They demand a lot of things from this jet.

Its a bit problematic for Turkish leaders because Greek generals will never be able to claim Tf-X/Kaan violated their airspace since they will not be able to detect it in next decade.

I saw here that most people underestimate Turkey's fighter jet project and compare it to planes like the f22 - f35 and claim that it is a copy of those planes. All countries producing 5th generation warplanes in the world take the f22 Raptor design as an example. If you look at the front photos of all the 5th generation produced in the world, you will see that it has a similar design to the f22 Raptor. If copying was in question, the USA would sue Turkey, object and would not allow it to be produced. It should not be forgotten that Turkey's scientists are people who have been educated and worked in countries such as America and Europe. Infrastructures such as production and test centers of the technologies produced today were prepared 21 years ago. This is a process that has been going on for 21 years. It would be wrong to compare the first aircraft prototype produced by Turkey with aircraft such as the F22. Kaan is a baby just beginning to crawl, and the f22 Raptor is like an adult human running and jumping over some somersaulting obstacles in mid-air. Kaan is an aircraft under development. You can compare these comments to comparing a baby to an adult, which is just a sign of stupidity. It should be noted that none of the air platforms produced by Turkey had an accident or showed any signs of error. From this it can be concluded how successful Turkey is. In addition, the nation you despise established 16 empires, each more powerful than the other, and brought China and all of Europe to their knees with these empires. While the Turks were living the Iron Age in Central Asia, Europe was experiencing the Stone Age. I have a few words to say to the Greeks who crossed their borders. While we were ruling 3 continents, the governors we appointed were governing you. You don't even deserve to be the last person to belittle Turkey. You are a country that imports even the bullets of the gun you use and you are the spoiled child of Europe. Like you, Armenia was also angering Azerbaijan by relying on Russia.

With KAAN, the radar footprint is aimed to be 0.01% m2 in the first block and 0.003% m2 thereafter. For comparison purposes; In F16s, this trace is 4% m2. Eurofighter 1.5% m2. Rafale 1% m2.

I think the Chinese are much better. The most important priority in Turkey is independence. We have acted together with the USA for 50 years and established one of the most effective air forces in the world, but we have seen that as a result, the person who gave the weapons begins to interfere with every decision you make. For Türkiye, the KAAN project is, in a sense, an independent war. If we can succeed (and we are progressing incredibly well so far), and if we can achieve what we want in engine electronic warfare and sensor technologies, we will be promoted to the champions league.

Some people finding this difficult to believe that turkiye can build this plane, well way don't you look our drone industry KizilElMA bayraktar

[@user-st3ml4yc5c]

people think everyone is copying f22. If the weather conditions and duties of the warplane are the same for each country, it is normal for the planes to be similar. The first planes will fly with 2 F16 engines when the tests start. later these engines will be replaced by more powerful Turkish engines. Turks follow the same method on every plane. they use stable engines that have worked millions of hours before for the tests. then they replace it with their own engine. The software, ammunition and all other components of this warplane will be Turkish. Even the training planes of the pilots who will be trained to use this plane are ready (Hürkuş and Hurjet). radar systems and ammunition are ready. Many important components are ready. I think the Turks can make this plane before 2030 and it will be better than any 5th generation produced before it.

Great run-down of likely timelines and design parameters. Thank you Old Man.

There are those who say that this is a " failed " " copy " last time I saw this saying the same for the bayraktar .

Very well researched video👍🏼 Turkey doesn't have to make the best fighter as it has been running very old F 16s. With KAAN they will have a competitive fighter. I think their expertise participating in F 35 program has come handy. I wouldn't be surprised if US out of public eye has been helping it's NATO ally develop an indigenous fighter. A cheaper and local fighter will be a boost to NATO alliance as well. So makes sense. Anyway all marks to Turkish engineers who delivered first flight on 2023. And have rescheduled time of delivery to 2026 now.

They are going to sell this to post Soviet Turkic countries too, I mean that might be the plan who knows

[@ssa6227]

@@publicname Ya they are selling to many countries. But priority is still Turkey and being a NATO ally a good upto date fighter is enough for Turkey.

The Turkish nation has done at least 3 genocides in its Mediterranean history my friend. FYI. To the Assyrians, to the Greeks, and to the Armenians.
