From being Ottoman Empire one of the most feared empire to becoming a NATO lap dog or a US base. Turkey has S-400 Russia said they are not selling those only S-300 were available for purchase. Patriot System lacks distance, it is extremely expensive to operate & maintain, that's why Turks went for Russian systems.

In this way, color-specific groupings (friend, foe, etc.) can be made in the symbology information. A hybrid (optical-inertial) system is designed as a head tracking system. The inner helmet will be specially produced for the pilot in terms of both comfort of use and proper viewing. For this, the head structure of the pilot will be scanned and the inner helmet will be processed according to the data generated after the scan. The visor will also be personalized according to the pilot in terms of oxygen mask and face form compatibility. Headphones will have active noise suppression (ANR-Active Noise Reduction) technology, and the pilot's awareness will be increased by transferring the 3D sound from the aircraft's internal speech system in stereo. The image obtained by using high-precision line of sight information from the 360-degree image created by the electro-optical systems on the aircraft will be projected onto the viewfinder and will provide a sense of use as if the aircraft does not have a fuselage. ASELSAN's 3D Audio Technology is based on HRTF (Human Related Transfer Function). 3D Audio is created spatially based on the location information of the warning and the head movements of the pilot. So the sound is transmitted as if it is coming from above, below, right or left. Thanks to 3D Audio technology, the pilot's environmental awareness increases, response time and workload decrease. Radio separation is created using 3D Audio. Communication channels are transmitted to the pilot from different angles so that the pilot can easily distinguish between channels. 3D Audio Features • Real-Time Operation • Radio Separation • Directional Warning • Global Positioning • Reduced Response Time • Reduced Workload • Increased Environmental Awareness Even the F35/F22 does NOT have these features combined
The real reason why Turkey bought S400 is because NATO allies closed the Patriots in Turkey. In the same year, ISIS threatened to launch missiles at Turkey
Can you make a video on the Israeli lavi jet that the U.S stoped development of since it would completely destroy the sales of the f16 since it was the best on out of them?
Hello. You used the phrase "Kurdish Forces" in the content. This is very wrong and misleading information. Turkish armed forces only fight against "PKK and YPG" terrorists. Millions of Turkish citizens of "Kurdish" origin in my country. We have thousands of citizens of "Kurdish" origin in the Turkish army. Turkish Armed Forces are fighting against Terrorists to whom the US government has provided thousands of trucks of weapons and training.
As a Kurd, I feel the responsibility to fix one thing in your video, our country which is Türkiye is not in war with the Kurds. We are fighting with the terrorists called ypg-pkk. It doesn't matter that America distinguishes between those two, but we know and they internally know that these are the same terrorist organization. They are active in different countries though it doesn't change anything.
Both are CIA proxies (fighting against another proxy which is ISIS, scripting a story creating both the protagonist and the antagonist alinging with their (CIA) interests). I’m a Turk you’re a Kurd doesn’t matter, you’re a MAN. Bless your soul!

Wow... This was the far most objective review of the MMU Kaan Project I've seen on YT. You did really great job reading both nation's interests&goals and how other international experts view about the project 👌Let's see if all this work and money spent on Kaan will pay off in the future of the Turkish Air Force
This was really objective, the only and one thing we can criticize is that he called PKK Terrorists Kurds but we Turks dont have problem with Kurds but its really hard for them to understand that. Its funny how a western country can be ally with a Leninist, Communist, drugs selling Terrorist group..
well not all americans are sarcastic, neither blinded of their own ignorance nor stupid. someone check the facts and observing. this man is good. small flaws here there but its a really objective video.
For everyone who doesn’t know Turkish engineers helped design and had key roles in many 5th gen programs here in the USA. F135 engine for the f35 and the F119 engine for the F22. I worked with Turkish engineers daily on the engine line as I’m a jet engine mechanic on both of those platforms. I remember the day they were no longer working with us and out of the program but that’s after 10 or 15 years. I 1000% know they can build a good jet. Because they helped build ours.
I wish we did it together. I wish you wouldn't rush. They deliberately made your plane small. Even if you convert it to the 5th generation, it will remain weak in terms of weapons - avionics - electronic warfare - artificial intelligence and range. Our aircraft has the largest dimensions among the 5th generation aircraft and there is a clear way for it to be converted into the 6th generation. I'd like to say it's not too late yet, but I can't say that because I know you've spent a lot of money and your people's expectations are high. Perhaps you may still choose to maintain 1 or 2 fleets. and thanks
This is half true. USA DID NOT REFUSE TO SELL PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEMS to Turkey. The "clever" (read dull) Turkey wanted to steal the Know-how and blueprints from the original manufacturer who have spent years of Research and Development for such an artifact of modern American Science and Technology. All other allies of USA had no problem aquiring the systems. Only Turkey had the "anatolian bargaining" as usually in her attitude. So Turkey sees wrongly her dimension in a perversive mirror as longer than the actual dimension. No more turkish lies with Americans and Europeans missile systems. KAAN is as a child game compared to F-35 superior Electronics, Avionics and Sensors.

I hope one day the world hear my heart words about turkey , im a history enthusiast and i fell in love with the history of turkey , this nations elites have always been on the side of peasants of the world and endured war and losses to maintain it, meanwhile they didnt need it
So they joined NATO and Hitler to help the peasants of the world , makes sense . NO, Turkey wants Ottoman Empire lands back , simple as that within reasonable boundaries . .
Honestly being self sufficient in defense just seems like extremely basic "defense 101" stuff to me even if your in a military alliance. So i can't blame them for wanting the ability to defend themselves on their own.
Being self sufficient is nice in theory, but unlikely to be useful in a major war. Capability on day one combined with stockpiles of material should be the target.
If you aren't part of an alliance yeah for sure but being part of NATO you also have to consider the difficulties of incorporating the tech into joint exercises and actual combat..
@@osric1730 The long term wars are over represented in people's minds. Most wars are completed rapidly because the defender did not prepare. Belgium & Korea before WW2 invasions for example. Also small nations will not be able to safeguard infrastructure in advanced warfare. Without a significant fighter advantage to push back cruise missile launch platforms. Depth needed underground to protect a facility are cost prohibitive for production. The USA has made massive contributions to Ukraine as well as many other issues. The EU should be the more involved.
Greetings from Turkey. You are always wellcome my friend. The people who shout antiTurkish slogans are generally the ones who never visits Turkey or who has political bias against Turkey. It is nice to see we still have friends out there.
Mostly people dont know That Turkey was working by F35 and F22 Jet engine. They are able to build self jet engine for Kaan fighter jet and could be not only 5. Generation could be 5.5 generation and 6. Generation fighter jet. That is the realty that world dont know about it They showed allready thems power and independent. Be proud Turkey.
You have to wake up from turkish propaganda myths, when you go to buy in a supermarket and realize that genteel poverty is not enough to feed your famiy.
You forgot to mention : - Türkiye was also building the main body frame of the F35. - It all started because the US refused to sell the Patriot system, even after years of negotiations. So Türkiye had to buy Russian equipment. - Greece, which is also part of NATO, has bought Russian defense systems, but the US didn't bother. It was clearly targeting Türkiye to not let them have an effective defense system.

@@Kenny-yl9pc He probably is a fake account of turkish propaganda service or is an uneducated person without any knowledge of modern Science and Technology and Economics and Aviation matters
@@Kenny-yl9pc If you don't know anything about the subject you're talking about, you should avoid being so specific. It is wrong to directly compare the F-35 with any other fighter project. In the JSF project, three different aircraft were designed, using common parts and one of which could land vertically. Besides sensor fusion, this is the most important reason why the project cost is so high and the development time is so long. Are there definitive written requirements that make an aircraft 5th generation? If our criterion for being the 5th generation is the F-35, there is no other 5th generation fighter in the world. The K-21, which some call the 5th generation, does not have an internal weapon station and uses the F-414 engine. J-20 must not meet the 5th generation criteria with those canards. SU-57 is a completely different story anyway. Even the F-22 should not be considered the 5th generation since it does not have sensor fusion like the F-35. Moreover, even the F-35 has other problems, such as limited super cruise ability and very high exhaust gas temperature, which negatively affects the stealth feature of the F-135 engine. The aviation technology and industry that you say Turkey does not have was one of the most important parts manufacturers for the F-35. It was producing both the middle fuselage and some parts of the F-35, which is the most complex body part, and many critical parts of the F-135 engine. Some of which it was the sole supplier of. Even F-35 program manager Tom Burbage said in an interview that Turkey is one of the best and trouble-free suppliers in the program and their problem is that they cannot give more work to Turkey because they have to give work to other program partners. Turkeye had previously announced that the first models would be the 4.5 generation KAAN Block 10. Aselsan develops the avionics and EOTS system. Research on radar absorbing paints and coatings has been carried out for years. The radar, which you say does not exist, was made in Turkey, including its microchip design, and testing of the finished prototypes has even begun. KAAN has two important parts that will be foreign sourced. One is the engines and the other is the ejection seat, both of which are being worked on, especially the engine. Türkiye is developing an aircraft that suits its needs and it doesn't have to be better than the F-35 in every aspect. Yes, Turkey will need time, especially for engine and sensor fusion, but they are not expected to be in the first block anyway. So it would be better if you do some research before you start talking nonsense.
@@Kenny-yl9pc You can't know that. You wouldn't know the technology in this plane. Moreover, Tusaş, which has been in the aviation industry for years, is not an ordinary company. Tusaş is a company that produces F16s under license, even better than Lockheed Martin. They made F16 with 0 errors. 17,000 engineers and technical staff work on the TFX Kaan aircraft at Tusaş alone. And this project was officially announced and started in 2009.
And thanks to the United States for providing us a great education. Some of the engineers building those plans got their education in the states. As a dual citizen of Turkey and America, god bless both of them.
On S-400 you've missed the point that Greece, a NATO ally, already uses S-300. Same point applies to that one as well, Russia personnel can leak radar data to Russia.
@@tomriley5790The S-400 has increased range coverage but the theory of modeling a stealth aircraft from regular radar detection is a valid concern. The long wave radar can see disruptions in the air and given enough time of knowing an F-35 is flying past it's entirely possible to program the detection and tracking of it into the system. The concern of this information 'leaking' to a potential adversary is absolutely valid.
I’m guessing there’s a lot to dig into and unpack there, that sounds like an interesting avenue to investigate. I’ll look into it in the future when i cover this aircraft again
Imho that's why US waited until there was absolutely no way Russian personnel will get in contact with Greece to give the green light for F-35s. I guess the invasion of Ukraine made things more straightforward also considering Erdogan's approach.
@@Taskandpurpose he isnt telling the full story but yes. south cyprus bought it originally and turkey threatened to destroy it preemptively so they gave it to greece.
The moral of the story is, do not impose arms embargo and hidden conditions onto your customers because it will spur them to be self-reliant and eventually compete for the future customers when their product is matured and ready for export
Moral of the story, read deeper into an issue before spewing nonsense. Turkey didn’t get the patriot system for one reason and one reason only they demanded a technology transfer upon the sale of Patriot missiles. They were denied so they bought the s400 systems with Russia with the intent to buy the s500 batteries. The moment they did that they were removed from the f-35 program their 8 jets on Luke afb confiscated and sat for 2 years before we paid out the money to Turkey for the jets and took them under the United States air-force training squadron.
It wasn't unreasonable for NATO to impose restrictions on Turkey for purchasing s400s and the potential for giving away classified info as a result to the Russians
You can be sure that there will be much more than this. because their scrap will explode in their hands because they cannot compete with their cutting-edge competitors. They will not want to sell their equivalent technologies just because they want to use them privately.
Turkey's history is just brilliant. From tribes to castle to mansions.Osman bey built the foundation of state and orhan bey was the first sultan called sultan orhan who conquered bursa.Then,sultan mehmat fateh conquered Constantine and now they become from land to the sky i.e,from horses to fighter jets.JUST MIND BLOWING.
Turkish history is not just about the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman is just one of them. Turks established the oldest army known in history. Look at the coat of arms of the Turkish Land Forces and you will see. In the year 209 BC. The written history of the Turks is 3000 years old. unwritten, 5-7 thousand years old. We have established 16 great empires in history. The last one is Turkiye.
Turkey has always been a stragic partmer with us and has been a good partner. They live in a tough neighborhood, and have mostly been the adult in the room. They probably just want our support, but not our control. Understandable. America hasn't been there for our partners interest in the past. I wish them luck.

Türkiye's move toeards military self-sufficiency is always viewed as a sort of "betrayal" by the western media. When Türkiye puts its national interests first, it is portrayed as "unreliable ally, rogue ally", but when the U.S. and other bigwigs do it, it is "patriotism."
@@JohnJaneson2449well, since turkey and nato arent that fond of each other anymore, because of the s400 scandal, decreasing democracy in turkey and turkey trying to do its own thing internationally(like having more contact with russia and china than the west would like)it became a standard to talk down and not acknowledge turkish accomplishments.

@@JohnJaneson2449 It has historical and geopolitical reasons. Türkiye emerged out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, which again was the successor of other Turkish empires like the Selcuks or Göktürks. Empires create tensions and friction as regional powers. The same applies to today's only global power, namely the USA. So, if you modify your question as "Why would anyone be anti-US?" then almost the same answers and reasons apply 1.1 to Türkiye.
@@onentogar9599 You gave me good answer on geopolitical level, but on personal level I can't fathom it. For example, I can see why people dislike CCP/PRC China because of the foreign minister bullying and Chinese internet trolls constantly insulting everyone for no reason at all. I just don't see the same attitude towards the Turks or Turkish government for that matter. Turkish government might be imperfect but it's not offensive at all to most people. As a foreigner, I see Turkiye as just a nice place, with nice people, very nice culture, and still acceptably nice government. Armenians and Kurds would disagree, of course.
Turkey has gone a long way developing her own weapons as they should and it's also beneficial in the long run. Obviously this specific project has a long way to go but it's on the right track.
Ah yes, their currency in the shitter, with Turkish maids begging us Europeans to give them Euros But you do go own how investing billions in fancy toys is "beneficial".
It is not entirely Turkish. The British helped. Reuters " NATO member Turkey launched its TF-X project to produce a national combat aircraft in 2016. Turkish aerospace firm TUSAS signed a deal with Britain's BAE Systems (BAES.L), opens new tab worth $125 million in 2017 to develop the next-generation fighter jet. "
Turkey has done a few innovative things. Tactical usage of drones is one of them. The US has used drones on an operational level, but rarely on a tactical level. Turkey has massively used very small drones in foward area to decisively destroy battlefield area units.
@@perrygiles9123also look at the use of Turkish bayraktar drones in the Armenia - Azerbaijan war in which Turkish drones were successfully used tactically as op mentioned. Also look at the recent conflict in Ethiopia where the government successfully held back rebels, in part using Turkish Bayraktars
Turkey is country thats constantly at war with irak and syria as neigbours. Iran and Russia are serious threads as well. So they have the motivation and the experience. Just their industry and knowledge holds them back
1. NATO removed their patriot air defence system located in eastern Turkey, while PKK firing rockets from Syria. 2. Turkey purchased the Russian S400 to cover their airspace left unprotected by NATO. 3. It was ok for Greece to purchase the Russian S300, but not ok for Turkey to purchase S400. For Turks, there's no better joke than NATO.
This is a wrong argument. The truth is that Greece existing S-300 systems were purchased by Cyprus for defending the Island but after a strong diplomatic opposition mainly by Israel and secondary by Turkey, USA suggested and the 2 Hellenic States aggreed that S-300 will be transferred to defend Crete and Dodecanese and in return Greece transferred some of her TOR-M1 short range anti-air systems to Cyprus.
@@cihadbektes This is totally different because Turkey bought Russian anti-NATO S-400 systems instead to buy Patriots or similar western systems that were available to her. I remind that Turks did not purchased Patriots because they wanted not only the Patriots systems but also the detailed blueprints and know-how of manufacturing them (for copying! they think of themselves as smart ones...) that is unacceptable by any original manufacturer of a so advanced technological and scientific Armament. The Turkish audacity is unique! No other Patriot owner member country of NATO had a such irrational demand! When Greece took indirectly the cyprian S-300 systems there were no F-35 hint in the horizon. The existing models of HAF then, had no problem coexisting with S-300. Greece allready is studying a new long-range anti-air sustem of high altitude for replacement the old S-300 systems before the arrival of the ordered Greek F-35A.
Good analysis. One item left out is that the F35 has punitively high maintenance costs which could make the Kaan a viable option as they are developing their own engine and could leverage the engine across other planes in development. Very objective and informative clip. Well done!
The concept of having a self sufficient military that can rely solely on the state is smart. Why put your future in the hands of possible enemies? It’s the smart, strong, right thing to do. That way your future is always in your hands. Not someone else’s.
The USA really did put Turkey in a BOX on this one. Turkey needed a missile defenses system urgently to protect itself and The USA would not sell them the same system they have sold or given to other countries. They buy from another source and The USA tells them if you buy it, we kick you out of a multi-billion dollar partnership you are a MAJOR Player in? Yeah, Turkey building their own planes works out best for them.
It's not that the US refused to sell it, they didn't. The US had no qualms about selling patriots to Turkey. The problem was that Turkey wanted technology transfer to manufacture it themselves, and the US refused to sell the PAC-3 with technology transfer. They were offered PAC-3 with no technology transfer or PAC-2 with technology transfer. Instead they bought S-400 and lost their F-35s, although that seems to be changing now that the US has offered to let Turkey back into the F-35 program if they get rid of the S-400s (probably by giving them to Ukraine).

Thank you for the balanced report. I just want to add that Turkish success is not to limited to this 5th Generation Aircraft, although it is the climax of it for now. In the air defence field, they first produced Hurkus training aircraft with turboprop engine, then the built Hurjet which is a jet-engine powered training/close support aircraft. They are also producing fighter and multi-purpose helicopters (Atak I, Atak II, Gokbey, etc.,). They are producing various types of UAV's and drones, including two Un-Manned jet aircrafts: Kizilelma by Baykar (same company that produces Byraktar 2), and Anka 3 by TUSAS the same company that produces KAAN. They have also developed their own multi-layer air-defence system which is on the production line but it constantly gets range improvements. Within a few years, Turkiye won’t need S-400 systems anymore as its own indigenous system will overpass S-400 capabilities. For the Navy, they built various ships/submarines, etc., as well as their own Aircraft carrier. It is predicted that in 2024 Turkiye’s weapon exports will be around $13 Billion USD.
I think people dont understand how insane this actually is what Turkiye did.. the only other countries that have a Gen 5 Jet are super powers like USA, Russia and China. Turkiye being the 4th country. And the turkish Jet even already has features that are supposed to come in Gen 6 Jets, making it the first Gen 5.5 jet with even more advanced technology.
If we take them at their word. I'm sure there's no problem with that. Not like they have a wannabe dictator who would love to inflate his accomplishments and would have no problem lying to his people and the world to make himself look better, right?
well at the moment they just have a flying prototype, although this is a big accomplishment it doesn't "says" anything about the final result and how stealth and overall capable will be
@@a.d.7042 if you do a little research, you will see that Turkey has already produced all the technologies except the engine for the 5+ Generation fighter jet. AESA radar, infrared and optical sensors, digital warfare, central battle management, cockpit electronics, etc.
Turkey has long been home to many nationalities and religious denominations, my Turkish friends are extremely kind, beautiful and intelligent people, i have no doubt of their capabilities to produce a capable and worthy fighter, i hope as a NATO member they make her a extension of NATO as well as a self defense staple for their sovereignty and security, hope to see KAAN airborne and in formation soon...

Let's clarify one point: Türkiye initially sought to purchase a US air defense system, but its request was denied. Subsequently, Türkiye explored other options and eventually procured a system from Russia. It appears that the US used what many perceive as a questionable justification to remove Türkiye from the F-35 program.

It was a bluff. USA refused to sell AA systems, Despite screaming everywhere how Turkey is one of the most important regional allies of theirs. So, Erdogan went for S400 as a power move. Trump then not only kicked Turkey from F35 program, But also refused to return the money they took for the orders for finished F35's. Instead forcefully selling us their old F16's. It backfired, but at least in the long run Turkey wont need to *beg* for AA systems nor Jets from their so called allies.
Before the S400, Türkiye wanted to buy pattriots for a long time and US didn’t give them. So that was necessary to get an air defense and they decided to buy someone else. US left Turkiye alone on this and paying the price.
Turkey shouldn’t have bought the S-400 I was a huge fan of turkeys actions in Syria becuase it undermines assad the Russians and Iran, however buying the S-400 like wtf bro .

Not sure if its true but imagine not selling your ally weapons to defend themselves so hard that they go and buy the weapons from your enemy.
Being part of the middle east, being self-sufficient is a very smart idea for Turkey. Especially in situations where foreign support shifts constantly.
@@DreweTube It is. It's west Asia, which most people call middle east. It's only half Europe because it borders Europe and is heavily influenced by it.

Yeah, sure. As if Iran, Iraq or Syria are about to invade Turkey anytime now!

Can’t blame them for wanting to build their own shit! Allies can quickly become adversaries, so relying on other countries for all of your military tech is a huge L
Exporting your military tech to countries that have proven to be friends with your adversaries or at least shown a propensity to be sympathizers to your adversaries, is also an L. Goes both ways, you stand more to lose giving away your tech than you do purchasing it. How ironic would it be if we gave Turkey F-35’s, just for them to get turned on us or handed over to Iran or Russia? No thanks.

People says it looks like f22. Actually all stealth jets look like each other. Because of geometric restrictions. Most stealth design is LAMBDA design but lambda desing hasn't got vertical stabilizators which make it less maneveurable. Second most stealth design is diamond design.

They are also against this terrorist organizations. There were lots of Kurdish Mothers, Fathers, asking for help from Turkey, claiming that those terrorists have been kidnapped their kurdish children. Kurdish people are against those terrorists. That is just what Usa wants to promote everyone for years as they do in other countries. Create a terrorist organization, support it, use it. And also, as always as hypocrite, Usa said no nato country should have Russian defence, but Greece has lots of S-300. So.
@@Spiderhip Bullshit. NATO said 2016 no country should buy russian weapons ANYMORE. Greece has S300 sind 1998! Turkey buyed S400 in 2018. S400 is totally different!! Kurds in Syria are not all terrorists. Turkey is killing children in syria.
@@Spiderhip wrong. Greece bought S300 in 1998. Turkey bought S400 in 2018 - long time after NATO said - no weapons from russia ANYMORE. S400 is critical system because of F35. This is is the real reason.
With Russia steadily antagonizing their former republics and partners, new markets for Turkish defence systems can open up in the Central Asian republics and in Georgia. Central Asia has already established very friendly relationships with Turkey due to the common Turkic historic and cultural heritage. They have already formed an Organization of Turkic States, with even Hungary as an observer state. With Turkey becoming a major weapon producer, their influence over the other Turkic states will only grow.
Not to forget Turkey turn to the King of UAV's.The ANKA 3 and the Kızılelma has jet engines, low radar crossections and an AI. They will go to on a mission with the pilot of the KAAN together which turn the KAAN to an almost 6th Gen fighter. Maybe the term Gen 5.5 is much more accurate.
That is being... very generous. All of that stuff is the definition of a 5th-gen fighter, we have yet to see anyone really develop a 6th-gen jet. And if someone does, it will either be the Tempest program, the US, or China. Türkie's aerospace industry is good, and growing fast, but it's still very far from 6th gen.
@@atomf9143 As a Turk I do agree with you. We may be developing 5th gen tech that has resembles the features of 6th gen but this aircraft will take a long time to enter service. And after that it will take even longer to get a 6th gen project, we got a long way to go just like our allies. I also believe that the Tempest program will probably be the first to be finished as it seems to be the most promising project currently

@@engizkavak2082 It might be the Tofaş factory BUT many Fiats are built in the Bursa factory along side a few other models for Citroen and Opel/Vauxhall. Tofaş was originally a joint venture between Koç Holdings and Fiat.

@@alican903 actually you do. There are plenty of designs, and it's especially apparent with it's backwing designs. I mean KAAN is clearly just a copy and there's no surprise there and nothing to really be ashamed of. It's just the way it is and no other ways it could have been done. Turkey has no experience in producing those planes. When you have no experience in building fighter jet planes, you have to start from something, your only option is to copy.
I'm willing to bet that this jet has more potential than the J-20 at least, and the Felon isn't really that stealthy, from what I've heard. The KAAN looks like an F-35 and F-22 jumped into bed together and this was the result.
I doubt it. Although I'm sure they were flaunt it like it is on par with the F 35. In fact I think they already have. I'm glad we didn't sell systems to them. Turkeys only cares for Turkey, and will make deals with your enemy. They care not about anything unless it effects them, and anytime they get any leverage they use it. I have no doubts they'd give F 35 secrets to Russia in exchange for something.
"supposed". China is same as Russia. They boast much. Neither china nor russia have 5th gen fighter. Lot's of countries nowadays can make an airframe and slap some engine and TFT display into it. Devil is in the detail. Radar range, weapons range, connectivity, real stealth with actual load, etc. Either it has it all or it's just another expensive dog fight toy.

Bayraktar was a young guy when he finished his education in MIT came to turkey and said to president "give me 20 years and turkey will be one of the top drone countries in the world"
You are completely wrong, Bayraktar’s father was rich, he is not so smart, he finished the private schools with his Fathers money. Drones was an already decision of Turkish Council to develop drones before president Erdogan. Havelsan Aselsan example they did Anka, Poyraz, Aksungur models already. But Bayraktar was promoted only by Erdogan’s disgusting propaganda, because he got married to his daughter and now they found another way of getting rich with this propaganda.

@@sabahattinbey In the case of UAV manufacturing, Greece had done pioneering work 20 years well before Turkey did. The initial State Airplanes Factory and later The Hellenic Aerospace Industry in cooperation with the Research Center of Hellenic Airforce designed, developed and manufactured the UAV Pegasus I back in 1982 (!) for Surveillance and Information Collection operated by a special UAV Unit of HAF. The present model Pegasus II is an advanced model in all aspects and. introduced in 2005. After the turkish deep state declared her expansionistic and revisionistic hostile policy against Greek Lands and Sea Rights with their "ala Turka interpratation" of International Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) the Greek Private and Public Defence Industry motivated and created and create every day new unique tecnological and scientific products for operations in Air, Land, Sea and UnderSea dimensions.

They are developing their own stealth plane because Turkey have been snubbed by the USA from buying the F-35. It’s in the video. The Turks are in NATO. But they buy Russian stuff too. This didn’t instill confidence in the USA so they weren’t allowed to buy the F-35. The U.S. didn’t want to fall in a situation like they did with the F-14 tomcat.

This is block 0 a prototype. TAI is working on 2 more prototypes for conducting various tests. Kaan won't be a 5th gen jet right off the bat. It will be 4.5th gen to start with when Block 10 comes out sometime in 2028 and eventually, it will evolve into 5th gen in 2030. The most important thing is the indigenous jet engine that is being developed at the moment.
@@zb2192 TEI developed smaller sized jet engines. For example, TF 6000 turbofan, TS 1400 turboshaft. They gained experience to make something bigger. TEI produces many engine parts for General Electric. I think they can make an engine for Kaan.
Jet engines take years to develop, in the interim, Turkey should buy some Russian engines, the IZDELIYE 30 is a brand new Russian engine that was developed for the heavy su--57 and would give the lighter Kaan a huge speed advantage over most opponents. Of course it may not fit the Kaan or Russia may not wish to sell, however they are already selling the s--400 to Turkey, so they may sell jet engines.
Some "allies of Türkiye" need to understand that Türkish nation is not such kind of a nation which you can make it bend the knee by imnposing sanctions or embargos.

Nobody other Ally of USA was so audacious to ask such unspeakable request. Russia also did not give its know-how of S-400 to the clever anatolian bargains...
It is tragic that after 20 plus years of Erdogans leadership Turkish people and all Turkish parties have been brain-washed with neo-ottoman imperialistic dreams and are so away from the Western Greco-Roman Civilization and Antrhopocentric Values. It is obvious that Turkey with such an attitude will not enter in our European Union of Democratic Countries and soon or later leave NATO Alliance going fully to Asian authoritarian States. It is also clear that NATO after that will gain control of East Thrace and the Straits and the Independent Kurdistan will be a reality in Kurdish occupied now lands.

The American currency the Dollar is not so valuable as 1 Turkish Lira. Imagine that there are many ways to use a note of 1 turkish lira when you are in countryside!...
As a Turkish citizen, I have always been curious about the thoughts of Europeans, particularly Americans, which is why I want to share with you how the events mentioned in the video unfolded. First, let me say that no country is perfect; everyone has their faults. Just as the Russian Federation is seen as the successor to the USSR, we in Turkey are seen as the continuation of the Ottoman Empire by the rest of the world. The embargo imposed in 1975, as mentioned in the video, was implemented because of Turkey's 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation, supported by a young senator at the time, Joe Biden. We did not invade Cyprus; the Turks living there were being massacred despite Turkey's repeated warnings (which lasted at least five years). The killings continued unabated. Our military was so weak and in such a dire state that we even struck our own warship due to communication failures. Following this, there was a prolonged American embargo due to Greece's pressures, marking a turning point in Turkey's current military capabilities. At that time, we couldn't even produce a pistol bullet. The proximity of Cyprus to Israel led to security concerns that brought Greece and Israel closer, even though Greece was one of the last countries to recognize Israel (1992), while Turkey recognized it just a year after its establishment and had good relations despite being a predominantly Muslim country. Jumping ahead in history to 2009, at an economic forum attended by Israel, current Turkish President Erdoğan's "One Minute" incident marked the first time Turkey rejected the role assigned to it on the global chessboard by major powers. Since then, relations between Turkey and Israel have never been good. In 2010, when Turkey sent an aid ship to Gaza, it was seized by Israeli military forces in international waters, killing 10 Turkish civilians without any justification, an incident known as the Mavi Marmara incident. You can look this up. Turkey's development in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as shown in the video stems from these events. Back then, Turkey was facing terrorism issues in the eastern and southeastern regions, and the only UAVs we had were Israeli-made Herons. The ridiculous part was that while we thought we were monitoring terrorists with these, Israel was watching them before us and had already provided intelligence to the terrorists. The main reason Turkey has become so strong in UAVs today is due to getting kicked while trying to defend itself. The S-400 air defense system issue mentioned in the video is also connected to this, as there is a well-known strong Jewish lobby in America, and by the 2010s, some senators, seeing a strengthening Turkey as an enemy, wanted Turkey out of the F-35 program. This long process continued until the Syrian Civil War erupted in 2011. As the successor of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey realized it was incapable of even protecting its airspace from birds and requested the Patriot air defense system from the U.S., a request that went unanswered for many years. Due to the increasing missile attacks along the border and the loss of civilians, Turkey was forced to meet its air defense needs by purchasing the S-400 from Russia. Citing this as a reason, America removed us from the F-35 program, but it was really about breaking the claws of a non-compliant and uncontrollable Turkey in terms of air power because the region's largest air force had become a threat to Israel. One of the reasons the S-400 issue is utterly absurd is that Greece, a NATO member, has had the S-300 for a long time without any issues. Also, the idea that the F-35's information would fall into Russian hands is equally ludicrous because even now, Israel, which has an F-35 fleet, can freely enter Syrian airspace, where Russia already has the S-400 deployed and has likely obtained all radar signatures of the F-35 for years. This hasn't been a problem for America, but it's an issue for NATO ally Turkey. In short, Turkey's current military strength has always come thanks to the adversities from its regional neighbors. America has never seen NATO member Turkey as an ally due to the powerful Jewish lobby, and their hostile actions are what have led us to this point. There's an old Turkish proverb: "A bad neighbor makes you a homeowner."
You mix some truths with big lies as a real follower of Joseph Goebbels... The illegal turkish invasion of 1974 after a treason by greek yunta in the Democracy of Cyprus with all the barbaric killings of Greco-Cyprians women and children and old people and the brutal rapes of them made by Turkish troops you call it as "Peace Operation"... You have been brain-washed by the deep turkish state...A real nazi practice. And many more lies. For example The truth is that Greece existing S-300 systems were purchased by Cyprus for defending the Island but after a strong diplomatic opposition mainly by Israel and secondary by Turkey, USA suggested and the 2 Hellenic States aggreed that S-300 will be transferred to defend Crete and Dodecanese and in return Greece transferred some of her TOR-M1 short range anti-air systems to Cyprus. The other lie is that America did not wanted sell Patriot system to Turkey. IT IS A BIG WRONG TURKISH PROPAGANDA. USA in reality had no problem sell her Patriot system. Bur "Clever" Turkey wanted in reality to aquire the know-how and the blueprints which is UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY MANUFACTURER. Then Turkey purchased one S-400 system from Russia BUT THE RUSSIANS ALSO DID NOT GIVE THEIR INDUSTRIAL SECRETS AND KNOW-HOW TO TURKS! A big strategic mistake of Erdogan's administration. So neither USA Patriots nor USA F-35 and NO RUSSIAN S-400 BLUEPRINTS FOR TURKEY. In other words the American F-35 is like Ferrari model 2024 supercar while the Turkish KAAN is like Lada model 1970. Such an analogy...
Well written, a lot of citizens from western countries are seeking USA For the monster it is. They sell safety, but at an invisible cost to others in another land leaving their own people unaware and unaffected. It seems the internet has changed that over the last 20 years and people are waking up to the fact they don't really do anything except bully people around for their own gains.
It really isn't the Jewish lobby per se, more like Christian Zionism. The evangelical Christians in the US, are not big fans of the Judiasm but the state of Israel itself that must be run by Jews, to bring forth armageddon. It's a prophecy of sort that the Evangelicals believe in, along with prosperity gospel that you won't find in Catholicism.
Convergent design. There's only so many designs layouts that balance stealth, aerodynamics, and weapon/fuel carrying capabilities. Same thing why the Boeing X-37 is a mini Space Shuttle, or why the majority of modern airliners look similar.
Reason 1: The F-22 is already available, it can be seen with the human eyes and an aviation engineer can prolly guesstimate the things in the making. Reason 2: There are some guesstimation already available on the internet, they might not be 100% declassified but their pretty well accepted by the general audience. Reason 3: Physics is the natural enemy of creativity.
For all those who says it's a copy, if it's that easy why don't you make a copy? Just try to copy a simple pen, you'll understand how difficult that is.
Crucially, despite what the politicians and media propagandists want to say, Turkey is the longest standing non-founding NATO member. They are a crucial ally. A stronger Turkish air force is a stronger NATO air force.
It sounded like you were a bit too apologetic of the American political hypocrisy with regards to Turkey's dismissal from the F35 program. USA is an ally of Turkey... ON PAPER. In reality, Turkey has been the target of countless power plays and embargos which were heavier than the embargos forced upon North Korea! Turkey requested to buy the Patriots from USA for years! A system that the Americans have given to many of their other allies without question but turned the other cheek when it came to Turkey. Turkey has a right to defend itself from missile and ballistic weapons so they kicked Turkey out for buying a DEFENSIVE system from Russia. They didn't even pay back the huge billion dollar investment Turkey had already paid. The official reason was the purchase of the S-400 systems but Greece has been using S-300 systems for decades! See the hypocrisy here? Even Trump pointed out the unfair treatment Turkey received. And people have the nerve to call Turkey an unreliable partner...

Color screen and digital night vision technologies will be used for the first time in the system, which was developed as binocular (two optical channels) and viewfinder reflective. In this way, color-specific groupings (friend, foe, etc.) can be made in the symbology information.
A hybrid (optical-inertial) system is designed as a head tracking system. The inner helmet will be specially produced for the pilot in terms of both comfort of use and proper viewing. For this, the head structure of the pilot will be scanned and the inner helmet will be processed according to the data generated after the scan. The visor will also be personalized according to the pilot in terms of oxygen mask and face form compatibility.
Headphones will have active noise suppression (ANR-Active Noise Reduction) technology, and the pilot's awareness will be increased by transferring the 3D sound from the aircraft's internal speech system in stereo. The image obtained by using high-precision line of sight information from the 360-degree image created by the electro-optical systems on the aircraft will be projected onto the viewfinder and will provide a sense of use as if the aircraft does not have a fuselage.
ASELSAN's 3D Audio Technology is based on HRTF (Human Related Transfer Function). 3D Audio is created spatially based on the location information of the warning and the head movements of the pilot. So the sound is transmitted as if it is coming from above, below, right or left.
Thanks to 3D Audio technology, the pilot's environmental awareness increases, response time and workload decrease.
Radio separation is created using 3D Audio. Communication channels are transmitted to the pilot from different angles so that the pilot can easily distinguish between channels.
3D Audio Features
• Real-Time Operation
• Radio Separation
• Directional Warning
• Global Positioning
• Reduced Response Time
• Reduced Workload
• Increased Environmental Awareness
Even the F35/F22 does NOT have these features combined
The real reason why Turkey bought S400 is because NATO allies closed the Patriots in Turkey. In the same year, ISIS threatened to launch missiles at Turkey

This is half true. USA DID NOT REFUSE TO SELL PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEMS to Turkey.

Honestly being self sufficient in defense just seems like extremely basic "defense 101" stuff to me even if your in a military alliance. So i can't blame them for wanting the ability to defend themselves on their own.
Finally tanks man finally same won understand it
Being self sufficient is nice in theory, but unlikely to be useful in a major war. Capability on day one combined with stockpiles of material should be the target.

@@Kenny-yl9pc He probably is a fake account of turkish propaganda service or is an uneducated person without any knowledge of modern Science and Technology and Economics and Aviation matters
@@Kenny-yl9pc If you don't know anything about the subject you're talking about, you should avoid being so specific.
It is wrong to directly compare the F-35 with any other fighter project. In the JSF project, three different aircraft were designed, using common parts and one of which could land vertically. Besides sensor fusion, this is the most important reason why the project cost is so high and the development time is so long.
Are there definitive written requirements that make an aircraft 5th generation? If our criterion for being the 5th generation is the F-35, there is no other 5th generation fighter in the world. The K-21, which some call the 5th generation, does not have an internal weapon station and uses the F-414 engine. J-20 must not meet the 5th generation criteria with those canards. SU-57 is a completely different story anyway. Even the F-22 should not be considered the 5th generation since it does not have sensor fusion like the F-35. Moreover, even the F-35 has other problems, such as limited super cruise ability and very high exhaust gas temperature, which negatively affects the stealth feature of the F-135 engine.
The aviation technology and industry that you say Turkey does not have was one of the most important parts manufacturers for the F-35. It was producing both the middle fuselage and some parts of the F-35, which is the most complex body part, and many critical parts of the F-135 engine. Some of which it was the sole supplier of. Even F-35 program manager Tom Burbage said in an interview that Turkey is one of the best and trouble-free suppliers in the program and their problem is that they cannot give more work to Turkey because they have to give work to other program partners.
Turkeye had previously announced that the first models would be the 4.5 generation KAAN Block 10. Aselsan develops the avionics and EOTS system. Research on radar absorbing paints and coatings has been carried out for years. The radar, which you say does not exist, was made in Turkey, including its microchip design, and testing of the finished prototypes has even begun. KAAN has two important parts that will be foreign sourced. One is the engines and the other is the ejection seat, both of which are being worked on, especially the engine. Türkiye is developing an aircraft that suits its needs and it doesn't have to be better than the F-35 in every aspect. Yes, Turkey will need time, especially for engine and sensor fusion, but they are not expected to be in the first block anyway.
So it would be better if you do some research before you start talking nonsense.
@@Kenny-yl9pc You can't know that. You wouldn't know the technology in this plane. Moreover, Tusaş, which has been in the aviation industry for years, is not an ordinary company. Tusaş is a company that produces F16s under license, even better than Lockheed Martin. They made F16 with 0 errors. 17,000 engineers and technical staff work on the TFX Kaan aircraft at Tusaş alone. And this project was officially announced and started in 2009.
And thanks to the United States for providing us a great education. Some of the engineers building those plans got their education in the states. As a dual citizen of Turkey and America, god bless both of them.
On S-400 you've missed the point that Greece, a NATO ally, already uses S-300. Same point applies to that one as well, Russia personnel can leak radar data to Russia.
S400 is very different from the S300
@@tomriley5790The S-400 has increased range coverage but the theory of modeling a stealth aircraft from regular radar detection is a valid concern. The long wave radar can see disruptions in the air and given enough time of knowing an F-35 is flying past it's entirely possible to program the detection and tracking of it into the system. The concern of this information 'leaking' to a potential adversary is absolutely valid.
I’m guessing there’s a lot to dig into and unpack there, that sounds like an interesting avenue to investigate. I’ll look into it in the future when i cover this aircraft again
Imho that's why US waited until there was absolutely no way Russian personnel will get in contact with Greece to give the green light for F-35s. I guess the invasion of Ukraine made things more straightforward also considering Erdogan's approach.
@@Taskandpurpose he isnt telling the full story but yes. south cyprus bought it originally and turkey threatened to destroy it preemptively so they gave it to greece.
The moral of the story is, do not impose arms embargo and hidden conditions onto your customers because it will spur them to be self-reliant and eventually compete for the future customers when their product is matured and ready for export
Moral of the story, read deeper into an issue before spewing nonsense. Turkey didn’t get the patriot system for one reason and one reason only they demanded a technology transfer upon the sale of Patriot missiles. They were denied so they bought the s400 systems with Russia with the intent to buy the s500 batteries. The moment they did that they were removed from the f-35 program their 8 jets on Luke afb confiscated and sat for 2 years before we paid out the money to Turkey for the jets and took them under the United States air-force training squadron.
It wasn't unreasonable for NATO to impose restrictions on Turkey for
purchasing s400s and the potential for giving away classified info as a result
to the Russians
You can be sure that there will be much more than this. because their scrap will explode in their hands because they cannot compete with their cutting-edge competitors. They will not want to sell their equivalent technologies just because they want to use them privately.

They buy from another source and The USA tells them if you buy it, we kick you out of a multi-billion dollar partnership you are a MAJOR Player in? Yeah, Turkey building their own planes works out best for them.
Turkey is small fry to USA the USA want India as a customer they can earn billions of them
It's not that the US refused to sell it, they didn't. The US had no qualms about selling patriots to Turkey. The problem was that Turkey wanted technology transfer to manufacture it themselves, and the US refused to sell the PAC-3 with technology transfer. They were offered PAC-3 with no technology transfer or PAC-2 with technology transfer. Instead they bought S-400 and lost their F-35s, although that seems to be changing now that the US has offered to let Turkey back into the F-35 program if they get rid of the S-400s (probably by giving them to Ukraine).
@@sdfopsdmsdofjmp7863 Yeah India wont deal with any one that doesn't give them full technology tranfer but Biden did just to get them in the door at the press conference he blurted out "Wev told India everything " 😅
@@braddbradd5671 except that Turkey is the major USA ally in the Middle East and second strongest country in the NATO. Turkey has a very strategic position controlling the Middle East, Mediterranean, and controlling the Black Sea access (meaning controlling the Russian fleet). Turkey influences most of Muslin countries, including Pakistan and the former Soviet Union republics. Not to mention that Turkey's military is way stronger than Indian.
@@arystanbeck914 absolutely correct about Turkey’s strategic value to NATO. Turkey is the strongest bridge to Muslim states for the NATO alliance, both culturally and geographically. However, India is generally considered to be the 4th strongest military power on earth, while Turkey generally falls between 8-11 on most empirical datasets.

Thank you for the balanced report. I just want to add that Turkish success is not to limited to this 5th Generation Aircraft, although it is the climax of it for now. In the air defence field, they first produced Hurkus training aircraft with turboprop engine, then the built Hurjet which is a jet-engine powered training/close support aircraft. They are also producing fighter and multi-purpose helicopters (Atak I, Atak II, Gokbey, etc.,). They are producing various types of UAV's and drones, including two Un-Manned jet aircrafts: Kizilelma by Baykar (same company that produces Byraktar 2), and Anka 3 by TUSAS the same company that produces KAAN. They have also developed their own multi-layer air-defence system which is on the production line but it constantly gets range improvements. Within a few years, Turkiye won’t need S-400 systems anymore as its own indigenous system will overpass S-400 capabilities. For the Navy, they built various ships/submarines, etc., as well as their own Aircraft carrier. It is predicted that in 2024 Turkiye’s weapon exports will be around $13 Billion USD.
This was one of the most objective and informative videos I have watched about KAAN from a foreign source. Well done, and salutations from Türkiye.
I think people dont understand how insane this actually is what Turkiye did.. the only other countries that have a Gen 5 Jet are super powers like USA, Russia and China. Turkiye being the 4th country. And the turkish Jet even already has features that are supposed to come in Gen 6 Jets, making it the first Gen 5.5 jet with even more advanced technology.
If we take them at their word. I'm sure there's no problem with that. Not like they have a wannabe dictator who would love to inflate his accomplishments and would have no problem lying to his people and the world to make himself look better, right?
well at the moment they just have a flying prototype, although this is a big accomplishment it doesn't "says" anything about the final result and how stealth and overall capable will be
@@a.d.7042 if you do a little research, you will see that Turkey has already produced all the technologies except the engine for the 5+ Generation fighter jet. AESA radar, infrared and optical sensors, digital warfare, central battle management, cockpit electronics, etc.
@@the_realist I wouldn't trust everything Turkey claims. Their tanks are being built for decades, no results yet...
It doesn't though, it's barely a 5th gen fighter. But it is a nice jet!
Turkey has long been home to many nationalities and religious denominations, my Turkish friends are extremely kind, beautiful and intelligent people, i have no doubt of their capabilities to produce a capable and worthy fighter, i hope as a NATO member they make her a extension of NATO as well as a self defense staple for their sovereignty and security, hope to see KAAN airborne and in formation soon...
They built out indigenous defense industry, cos US started blackmailing them with weapon deals.
This is half true. USA DID NOT REFUSE TO SELL PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEMS to Turkey. The "clever" (read dull) Turkey wanted to steal the Know-how and blueprints from the original manufacturer who have spent years of Research and Development for such an artifact of modern American Science and Technology. All other allies of USA had no problem aquiring the systems. Only Turkey had the "anatolian bargaining" as usually in her attitude. So Turkey sees wrongly her dimension in a perversive mirror as longer than the actual dimension. No more turkish lies with Americans and Europeans missile systems.
Evet bu doğru
Exactly, they wanted to use this situation for their own interests, but Türkiye did not allow this and did what was necessary.

Let's clarify one point: Türkiye initially sought to purchase a US air defense system, but its request was denied. Subsequently, Türkiye explored other options and eventually procured a system from Russia. It appears that the US used what many perceive as a questionable justification to remove Türkiye from the F-35 program.
This is half true. USA DID NOT REFUSE TO SELL PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEMS to Turkey. The "clever" (read dull) Turkey wanted to steal the Know-how and blueprints from the original manufacturer who have spent years of Research and Development for such an artifact of modern American Science and Technology.

So Turkey sees wrongly her dimension in a perversive mirror as longer than the actual dimension. No more turkish lies with Americans and Europeans missile systems.
The Americans offered the Patriots, the Turks wanted the blueprints in order to produce their own Patriots, the Americans refused, and the Turks bought the S-400 which they cannot use right now or else they won't even get F-16's, and they got kicked out of the F-35's too. Smart move! Does your Sultan also manage the Turkish economy that well? The hell he does!!!
Turkey’s incredible achievements of defense industry is going to keep peace at home and in the world. Never underestimate the Turks. It was a good video.

Back in the 90's I visited many Turkish companies in the arms business. One was making AIM-9 Sidewinder missile parts which were shipped to the US for incorporation in production there. Nice productions line, high attention to quality processes and a lot of pride. One thing I can assure you about Turks: They are get up and get going people. 12 hour work days all year long are considered normal regardless of "rank" in the co.

to be fair, since what a knock-off from the original concept is F-22, any propperly done attempt to do what it aimed to do is going to be better.
with old F16 engines
That’s not an excuse to breach contract with a foreign government. If turkey wants to buy a foreign air defense system, they have the right. I’m glad they’re making their own.
It was just an excuse and the real purpose was different.
Did you missed the reason or you're just a dick?
It was a bluff. USA refused to sell AA systems, Despite screaming everywhere how Turkey is one of the most important regional allies of theirs.
So, Erdogan went for S400 as a power move.
Trump then not only kicked Turkey from F35 program, But also refused to return the money they took for the orders for finished F35's. Instead forcefully selling us their old F16's.
It backfired, but at least in the long run Turkey wont need to *beg* for AA systems nor Jets from their so called allies.
Selam Aleykum ! 313 ❤
Before the S400, Türkiye wanted to buy pattriots for a long time and US didn’t give them. So that was necessary to get an air defense and they decided to buy someone else. US left Turkiye alone on this and paying the price.
Just add the KAAN to War Thunder, start an argument online about it and all the details will become available within 6 months.

@@JeferonConor from my understanding, USA wouldnt sell the defense system for various reasons. I heard Turkish people saying USA wanted full control over the defense systems after they were sold.

With Russia steadily antagonizing their former republics and partners, new markets for Turkish defence systems can open up in the Central Asian republics and in Georgia.

@@sabahattinbey In the case of UAV manufacturing, Greece had done pioneering work 20 years well before Turkey did. The initial State Airplanes Factory and later The Hellenic Aerospace Industry in cooperation with the Research Center of Hellenic Airforce designed, developed and manufactured the UAV Pegasus I back in 1982 (!) for Surveillance and Information Collection operated by a special UAV Unit of HAF. The present model Pegasus II is an advanced model in all aspects and. introduced in 2005. After the turkish deep state declared her expansionistic and revisionistic hostile policy against Greek Lands and Sea Rights with their "ala Turka interpratation" of International Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) the Greek Private and Public Defence Industry motivated and created and create every day new unique tecnological and scientific products for operations in Air, Land, Sea and UnderSea dimensions.
@@G_Sachs Yes, you built this drone. But are you sure it was 20 years before Turkey? Turkey used its first UAV in 1989. Then, in 1990, it launched the domestic UAV-X1-Shahid project. I would also like to mention that Turkey built its first airplane in 1924. VECI K-VI

They are developing their own stealth plane because Turkey have been snubbed by the USA from buying the F-35. It’s in the video. The Turks are in NATO. But they buy Russian stuff too. This didn’t instill confidence in the USA so they weren’t allowed to buy the F-35. The U.S. didn’t want to fall in a situation like they did with the F-14 tomcat. They sold a bunch to Iran when they were a “democracy “. Then Iran returned to the stone ages with their Ayatollah government. So we stopped using the Tomcat.

This is block 0 a prototype. TAI is working on 2 more prototypes for conducting various tests. Kaan won't be a 5th gen jet right off the bat. It will be 4.5th gen to start with when Block 10 comes out sometime in 2028 and eventually, it will evolve into 5th gen in 2030. The most important thing is the indigenous jet engine that is being developed at the moment.
Do you any link for the development of the jet engine
@@zb2192 TEI developed smaller sized jet engines. For example, TF 6000 turbofan, TS 1400 turboshaft. They gained experience to make something bigger. TEI produces many engine parts for General Electric. I think they can make an engine for Kaan.
Cool
Jet engines take years to develop, in the interim, Turkey should buy some Russian engines, the IZDELIYE 30 is a brand new Russian engine that was developed for the heavy su--57 and would give the lighter Kaan a huge speed advantage over most opponents. Of course it may not fit the Kaan or Russia may not wish to sell, however they are already selling the s--400 to Turkey, so they may sell jet engines.

Some "allies of Türkiye" need to understand that Türkish nation is not such kind of a nation which you can make it bend the knee by imnposing sanctions or embargos. Türkiye's official motto is "peace at home, peace in the world" but this doesn't mean Türkiye would sit and watch when faced aggressions or their interets were threatened.
I have a house but my neighbor has found a treasure in his yard. So I as a real Turk will not stay without action and I will invent a story that his yard is in essence mine and if he wants peace we must share at least kazan-kazan his treasure... I don't recognize his titles because our neighborhood according to my interpretation is a special unique case!... This is my revisionistic and expansionistic policy but it is my interest after all!... Of course I have the motto "peace in my house" and "peace in my neighborhood". But We will not have peace if my neighbor does not accept to share his treasures. After all I have 10 children to feed while my neighbor only 2...

1. USA F-35 Advanced Electronics and Aviation and Engines and Sensors is not at all comparable with KAAN that is only an Erdogan's peopagandistic toy, a tin skeleton with F-16 engine.
2. That USA Had not objection to sell Patriot Systems to Turkey as did in all other allies countries including Greece. But the clever (read dull) Turkey wanted to aquire the know-how and the bluprints of Patriot System that is of course PROPERTY of the original manufacturer that spend thousands manhours in basic and applied Reserch and Development to make such a diamond. Nobody other Ally of USA was so audacious to ask such unspeakable request. Russia also did not give its know-how of S-400 to the clever anatolian bargains...
It is tragic that after 20 plus years of Erdogans leadership Turkish people and all Turkish parties have been brain-washed with neo-ottoman imperialistic dreams and are so away from the Western Greco-Roman Civilization and Antrhopocentric Values. It is obvious that Turkey with such an attitude will not enter in our European Union of Democratic Countries and soon or later leave NATO Alliance going fully to Asian authoritarian States. It is also clear that NATO after that will gain control of East Thrace and the Straits and the Independent Kurdistan will be a reality in Kurdish occupied now lands.
I usually like to joke around in the internet, but Turkey, and the surrounding regions are different.

@@G_Sachs shut up greek puppet toy island of america
As a Turkish citizen, I have always been curious about the thoughts of Europeans, particularly Americans, which is why I want to share with you how the events mentioned in the video unfolded. First, let me say that no country is perfect; everyone has their faults. Just as the Russian Federation is seen as the successor to the USSR, we in Turkey are seen as the continuation of the Ottoman Empire by the rest of the world. The embargo imposed in 1975, as mentioned in the video, was implemented because of Turkey's 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation, supported by a young senator at the time, Joe Biden. We did not invade Cyprus; the Turks living there were being massacred despite Turkey's repeated warnings (which lasted at least five years). The killings continued unabated. Our military was so weak and in such a dire state that we even struck our own warship due to communication failures. Following this, there was a prolonged American embargo due to Greece's pressures, marking a turning point in Turkey's current military capabilities. At that time, we couldn't even produce a pistol bullet. The proximity of Cyprus to Israel led to security concerns that brought Greece and Israel closer, even though Greece was one of the last countries to recognize Israel (1992), while Turkey recognized it just a year after its establishment and had good relations despite being a predominantly Muslim country.
Jumping ahead in history to 2009, at an economic forum attended by Israel, current Turkish President Erdoğan's "One Minute" incident marked the first time Turkey rejected the role assigned to it on the global chessboard by major powers. Since then, relations between Turkey and Israel have never been good. In 2010, when Turkey sent an aid ship to Gaza, it was seized by Israeli military forces in international waters, killing 10 Turkish civilians without any justification, an incident known as the Mavi Marmara incident. You can look this up. Turkey's development in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as shown in the video stems from these events. Back then, Turkey was facing terrorism issues in the eastern and southeastern regions, and the only UAVs we had were Israeli-made Herons. The ridiculous part was that while we thought we were monitoring terrorists with these, Israel was watching them before us and had already provided intelligence to the terrorists. The main reason Turkey has become so strong in UAVs today is due to getting kicked while trying to defend itself. The S-400 air defense system issue mentioned in the video is also connected to this, as there is a well-known strong Jewish lobby in America, and by the 2010s, some senators, seeing a strengthening Turkey as an enemy, wanted Turkey out of the F-35 program. This long process continued until the Syrian Civil War erupted in 2011. As the successor of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey realized it was incapable of even protecting its airspace from birds and requested the Patriot air defense system from the U.S., a request that went unanswered for many years. Due to the increasing missile attacks along the border and the loss of civilians, Turkey was forced to meet its air defense needs by purchasing the S-400 from Russia. Citing this as a reason, America removed us from the F-35 program, but it was really about breaking the claws of a non-compliant and uncontrollable Turkey in terms of air power because the region's largest air force had become a threat to Israel. One of the reasons the S-400 issue is utterly absurd is that Greece, a NATO member, has had the S-300 for a long time without any issues. Also, the idea that the F-35's information would fall into Russian hands is equally ludicrous because even now, Israel, which has an F-35 fleet, can freely enter Syrian airspace, where Russia already has the S-400 deployed and has likely obtained all radar signatures of the F-35 for years. This hasn't been a problem for America, but it's an issue for NATO ally Turkey. In short, Turkey's current military strength has always come thanks to the adversities from its regional neighbors. America has never seen NATO member Turkey as an ally due to the powerful Jewish lobby, and their hostile actions are what have led us to this point. There's an old Turkish proverb: "A bad neighbor makes you a homeowner."
You mix some truths with big lies as a real follower of Joseph Goebbels... The illegal turkish invasion of 1974 after a treason by greek yunta in the Democracy of Cyprus with all the barbaric killings of Greco-Cyprians women and children and old people and the brutal rapes of them made by Turkish troops you call it as "Peace Operation"... You have been brain-washed by the deep turkish state...A real nazi practice. And many more lies. For example The truth is that Greece existing S-300 systems were purchased by Cyprus for defending the Island but after a strong diplomatic opposition mainly by Israel and secondary by Turkey, USA suggested and the 2 Hellenic States aggreed that S-300 will be transferred to defend Crete and Dodecanese and in return Greece transferred some of her TOR-M1 short range anti-air systems to Cyprus.
The other lie is that America did not wanted sell Patriot system to Turkey. IT IS A BIG WRONG TURKISH PROPAGANDA. USA in reality had no problem sell her Patriot system. Bur "Clever" Turkey wanted in reality to aquire the know-how and the blueprints which is UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY MANUFACTURER. Then Turkey purchased one S-400 system from Russia BUT THE RUSSIANS ALSO DID NOT GIVE THEIR INDUSTRIAL SECRETS AND KNOW-HOW TO TURKS! A big strategic mistake of Erdogan's administration. So neither USA Patriots nor USA F-35 and NO RUSSIAN S-400 BLUEPRINTS FOR TURKEY.
In other words the American F-35 is like Ferrari model 2024 supercar while the Turkish KAAN is like Lada model 1970. Such an analogy...
Well written, a lot of citizens from western countries are seeking USA For the monster it is. They sell safety, but at an invisible cost to others in another land leaving their own people unaware and unaffected. It seems the internet has changed that over the last 20 years and people are waking up to the fact they don't really do anything except bully people around for their own gains.
It really isn't the Jewish lobby per se, more like Christian Zionism. The evangelical Christians in the US, are not big fans of the Judiasm but the state of Israel itself that must be run by Jews, to bring forth armageddon. It's a prophecy of sort that the Evangelicals believe in, along with prosperity gospel that you won't find in Catholicism.

i am amazed by the knowledge and research behind the making of this video. well done. hello from Turkiye.
I really do hope the kaan succeeds because it would both be so cool but also super interesting to learn about
It's interesting how it looks so much like an F-22.....
almost like the details were leaked....
Convergent design. There's only so many designs layouts that balance stealth, aerodynamics, and weapon/fuel carrying capabilities.
Same thing why the Boeing X-37 is a mini Space Shuttle, or why the majority of modern airliners look similar.
its almost if aero & stealth designs have to follow principles...
The hell you say China did not sell them that😮
Reason 1: The F-22 is already available, it can be seen with the human eyes and an aviation engineer can prolly guesstimate the things in the making.
Reason 2: There are some guesstimation already available on the internet, they might not be 100% declassified but their pretty well accepted by the general audience.
Reason 3: Physics is the natural enemy of creativity.
We should also include that Turkey wanted to buy American Patriot in the first place but USA didn't sell. After than Turkey went to Russia.
One of the most objective videos Ive seen on this channel and about the topic. Keep up the good work, sincerely, from Turkey.

There is always room for competition in the air industry. It keeps everybody on their toes and inspires innovation.
Crucially, despite what the politicians and media propagandists want to say, Turkey is the longest standing non-founding NATO member. They are a crucial ally. A stronger Turkish air force is a stronger NATO air force.
It sounded like you were a bit too apologetic of the American political hypocrisy with regards to Turkey's dismissal from the F35 program. USA is an ally of Turkey... ON PAPER. In reality, Turkey has been the target of countless power plays and embargos which were heavier than the embargos forced upon North Korea! Turkey requested to buy the Patriots from USA for years! A system that the Americans have given to many of their other allies without question but turned the other cheek when it came to Turkey. Turkey has a right to defend itself from missile and ballistic weapons so they kicked Turkey out for buying a DEFENSIVE system from Russia. They didn't even pay back the huge billion dollar investment Turkey had already paid. The official reason was the purchase of the S-400 systems but Greece has been using S-300 systems for decades! See the hypocrisy here? Even Trump pointed out the unfair treatment Turkey received. And people have the nerve to call Turkey an unreliable partner...

Kanada bize drone larda kullanmak için kamera sistemini vermedi ve satış ambargosu uyguladı. Şuanda kendi kamera sistemlerimizi üretmeyi başardık. Avusturya'dan aldığımız drone motorlarına Ermenistan savaşında kullanıyoruz diye ambargo uyguladılar. Şimdi kendi motorlarımızı üretmeyi başardık. "Kötü komşu insanı mal sahibi eder" diye bir söz var. Ayrıca Amerika'nın bizim topraklarımızın güneyinde desteklediği PKK/YPG terör örgütü sayesinde hem askeri olarak daima savaşa hazır ve mücadele etmek zorunda kalan güçlü bir ordu olmayı başardık. Hem de ürettiğimiz teknolojileri bu teröristler üzerinde deneyerek tecrübe edindik. Teşekkürler Amerika!
