I know mosts of subsystems turkey uses in its weapons are partially made & assembled in turkey.
Like the radar for there upgrades of f16. Which is jv with British firm. Which they are using on akinci drone. I dont think they even got a single most important technologies through it. They will never gets most important techs. Neither it is as advance this Europeans countries are using.
Same is the case with there Hisar defence systems a knock off of french-italian eurosam. No elite tech is given to turkey neither is made in turkey..
Same will be the case with kaan.
As compared to india, we do have our sub-systems like radars now GaN based, IR systems like for su30s upgrade.
Fly by wire , RAM, composites, EOTS is under testing now, MAWS, EW suits, many more such systems..
This takes alot of time. Koreans & Turks have skipped it and just brought it from western firms..
everything is stucked because of engine.
Deal with Safran should be signed as early as possible. I think we are stucked because of f414.
Why are you whining when you know Turkey has no real indigenous technology and just imports & assembles to do stunt for Erdogan's PR
All that you say may be correct but they have something that flies. All we see are Kuntal Biswas pictures. both of Mk2, AMCA & TEDBF. Until then we can sing:
Ae [Tejas Mk2 | AMCA | TEDBF] mere kab honge darshan tere.
KAAN is worse than Mig21 in current state and will remain worse than Mig21 unless Turkey uses most of the components imported from west. What is there to say "at least it is flying" when it is just a stunt prop?
The reason for that is that the Turks have the source codes for only their 35 odd F-16 Block 30s, not the Block 50s in their inventory. Their Özgür upgrade is only for these 35 F-16 Block 30s.
These F-16V kits are to upgrade the remaining Block 50s that they can't upgrade on their own.
The ÖZGÜR project is a locally developed modernization package to be applied to the Turkish Air Force's F-16 Block 30 fleet. According to the SavunmaSanayi
www.aviacionline.com
Turkey has no source codes for any technology. It likely has a licensed import agreement whereby it has a licensed copy of the software without the ability to read the source codes. Giving source codes is no joke and it can seriously compromise the radar of USA jets if reverse engineered or weakness analysed.
We all don't know the exact perf of the Tejas and JF17 radar.
Those are very secret datas, and depend of so many parameters.... (how each bird is loaded, is it in front, on side, clutter treatment, electronical environnment etc...)
I think (and expect) russian and chinese electronical exuipment less advanced than west ones. Nothing very impressive was seen in Ukraine for exemple. 2 x A50 mainstay airborn radars seemed to have been shoot these last 2 months...
That is not correct. Chinese and Russian equipments are not available to the west to see and analyse but they are not low tech. Ukraine is not a good example as Russia is deploying old weapons and low tech items.
Chinese AESA is air cooled , which clearly indicated less power consumption and hence weak. You rightly said that data are confidential but there are other indications.
Chinese radars even can not ditect Brahmos or Iranian missiles fared on Pakistan.
China is smart and has lower end versions for exports. The ones given to pakistan are lower tech export grade items, for example. Even the air cooled radar is just an export variant and not regular one. China uses high tech equipment for its own army.
What is fanboyism in that. This is a fact. When we accidently fired Brahmmos, None of the Pakistan radar can detect it. They only knew about that when the debries landed in Pakistan. It seems that you have a very high regards for substandard Chinese weapon.
You definitely have low IQ. Chinese radar sold to Pakistan is low tech export variant, not the high end version China uses for itself. China does not trust Pakistan as it fears that it may sell the tech to USA or other countries. China, in general does not trust anyone and hence never sells its top tech items. All exports are of lower quality and lower tech items. So, Pakistani radars not detecting Brahmos does not mean China has a bad technology
