Turkey arms industry really ramping up in these recent years

Before it can detect F35, it already gone.

If it is just a practice shot against a test aircraft, shouldn't be counted as kill. Only a kill against an enemy aircraft should be counted.

“ Impressive But
Turkey should not make clashes with Powerful INDIA for terror state pakistan 🇵🇰 , otherwise consequences will be very serious that turkey 🇹🇷 can't imagine.”

if kena jammer that UAV is blind

Steaalth : Hold muh beer...

UAVs are not at a stage where they can replace manned fighters yet. They dont have the brains, speed, maneuvarability, EW protection, good radar, etc.

They can be paired with controllers on board other platforms.

The above Turkish drone is using Russian turbo fan engine n other parts....good luck with that.

when going to migrate to chainah engines and parts?

After taking a long time/decades to build these indigeneous engines (party reversed engineered) i am not sure they will export per se sans part of an oem purely chinese military product, if at all. The chinese may not risk it - not unless it is commercial. They know Turkiye will try to reverse engineer.

The Americans recently banned US jet engines for the Turkish Kaan. Shes dead Jim.
