Operating a fifth-generation fighter can be likened to a dream and a need. In fact, it's not enough for a country to just have a big budget to be able to buy stealth fighter jets like the F-35 Lightning II. Because it is full of sophisticated technology and is considered sensitive, there are sales restrictions that cannot be separated from political affairs. And when KAAN (formerly TF-X) was successfully launched by Turkey, it opened up opportunities for third world countries to later 'taste' the advantages of stealth fighter jets.

And regarding the development of KAAN produced by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), there are reports that Pakistan and Azerbaijan have joined Turkey's fifth-generation stealth fighter jet program.

On December 27 this year, it is planned that KAAN will fly for the first time with the support of artificial intelligence technology in it. Quoted from propakistani.pk, it is said that the KAAN development program has received significant support from Pakistan and Azerbaijan, which have officially joined the program, signifying a new era cooperation in the aviation sector.

Collaboration between Pakistan and Turkey was further strengthened by the signing of a contract between Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). This agreement outlines the joint development of various airworthy equipment, strengthens ties and encourages the exchange of technological know-how between the two countries.

The entry of Pakistan and Azerbaijan into the KAAN stealth aircraft project has opened up new possibilities for sharing expertise and resources. As part of the collaboration, several KAAN subsystems will be manufactured in Pakistan, leading to the establishment of a joint production line. This strategic move not only reduces the overall financial burden, but can also increase production, ensuring the timely completion of the aircraft.

The KAAN stealth fighter jet is expected to be a game-changer, with advanced stealth capabilities that will allow it to operate undetected in hostile airspace. Its AI amalgamation adds another dimension to its already impressive features, making it a formidable force in modern aerial warfare.

KAAN, originally planned to make its maiden flight with Turkish engines in 2028, with its first flight on 27 December 2023, will exceed expectations by reaching the milestone ahead of schedule. Development of KAAN began in 2010, although there were some setbacks and delays along the way. However, the development process rapidly accelerated in 2019, especially when Turkey was kicked out by the US from the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet program.

With a wingspan of around 21 meters, the aircraft boasts impressive performance capabilities, being able to reach a maximum speed of Mach 1.8 thanks to its twin engines, each developing 29,000 pounds (13,000 kg) of thrust.

Recent KAAN photos show exhaust nozzles similar to those found on a different General Electric F110 model. SavunmaSanayiST notes that the aircraft moved independently during the most recent taxii test, indicating that the General Electric F110 engine was successfully integrated.

As a fifth-generation fighter, the KAAN was carefully developed by TAI with the primary aim of replacing Turkey's aging F-16 fleet, demonstrating Turkey's commitment to advancing its air defense capabilities. (Glang Prime)

Pakistan Dan Azerbaijan Bergabung Dalam Program Jet Tempur Stealth (Turki) KAAN

indomiliter | 03/08/2023

Mengoperasikan pesawat tempur generasi kelima bisa diibaratkan antara idaman dan kebutuhan. Faktanya, suatu negara tidak cukup hanya punya anggaran besar untuk bisa membeli jet tempur stealth seperti F-35 Lightning II. Lantaran sarat teknologi canggih dan dinilai sensitif, maka ada pembatasan penjualan yang tak bisa dilepaskan dari urusan politik. Dan ketika KAAN (d/h TF-X) sukses diluncurkan oleh Turki, maka terbuka peluang bagi negara dunia ketiga untuk kelak ‘mencicipi’ keunggulan jet tempur stealth.

Dan terkait pengembangan KAAN yang diproduksi Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), ada kabar bahwa Pakistan dan Azerbaijan telah bergabung dalam program jet tempur stealth generasi kelima Turki.

Pada 27 Desember tahun ini, rencananya KAAN akan terbang perdana dengan dukungan teknologi kecerdasan buatan di dalamnya.Dikutip dari propakistani.pk, disebut bahwa program pengembangan KAAN mendapat dukungan signifikan dari Pakistan dan Azerbaijan, yang secara resmi telah bergabung dalam program tersebut, menandakan era baru kerja sama di sektor penerbangan.

Kolaborasi antara Pakistan dan Turki semakin diperkuat dengan penandatanganan kontrak antara Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra dan Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). Perjanjian ini menguraikan pengembangan bersama berbagai airworthy equipment, memperkuat ikatan dan mendorong pertukaran pengetahuan teknologi antara kedua negara.

Masuknya Pakistan dan Azerbaijan dalam proyek pesawat siluman KAAN telah membuka kemungkinan baru untuk berbagi keahlian dan sumber daya. Sebagai bagian dari kolaborasi, beberapa subsistem KAAN akan diproduksi di Pakistan, yang mengarah pada pembentukan jalur produksi bersama. Langkah strategis ini tidak hanya mengurangi beban keuangan secara keseluruhan, tetapi juga dapat meningkatkan produksi, memastikan penyelesaian pesawat tepat waktu.

Jet tempur stealth KAAN diharapkan menjadi game-changer, dengan kemampuan siluman canggih yang memungkinkannya beroperasi tanpa terdeteksi di wilayah udara yang bermusuhan. Penggabungan AI-nya menambah dimensi lain pada fitur-fiturnya yang sudah mengesankan, menjadikannya kekuatan yang tangguh dalam peperangan udara modern.

KAAN, awalnya direncanakan untuk melakukan penerbangan perdananya dengan mesin Turki pada tahun 2028, dengan kabar terbang perdana pada 27 Desember 2023, maka akan melampaui ekspektasi dengan mencapai tonggak sejarah lebih cepat dari jadwal. Pengembangan KAAN dimulai pada tahun 2010, meskipun ada beberapa kemunduran dan penundaan di sepanjang jalan. Namun, proses pengembangan dengan cepat meningkat pada 2019, terutama ketika Turki didepak oleh AS dari program jet tempur stealth F-35 Lightning II.

Dengan lebar sayap sekitar 21 meter, pesawat ini menawarkan kemampuan kinerja yang mengesankan, mampu mencapai kecepatan maksimum Mach 1,8 berkat mesin kembarnya, masing-masing menghasilkan daya dorong 29.000 pound (13.000 kg).

Foto KAAN terbaru memperlihatkan nozel knalpot yang serupa dengan yang ditemukan pada model General Electric F110 yang berbeda. SavunmaSanayiST mencatat bahwa pesawat bergerak secara independen selama uji taxii terbaru, menunjukkan bahwa mesin General Electric F110 berhasil diintegrasikan.

Sebagai pesawat tempur generasi kelima, KAAN dikembangkan dengan cermat oleh TAI dengan tujuan utama menggantikan armada F-16 Turki yang sudah tua, menunjukkan komitmen Turki untuk memajukan kemampuan pertahanan udaranya. (Gilang Perdana)

For the First Time, Stealth Fighter Sukhoi Su-57 Felon Successfully Dest...

For the First Time, Stealth Fighter Sukhoi Su-57 Felon Shoots Down Opponent Fighter.

Tuesday, 1-11-2022.

Since flying for the first time on January 29, 2010 and entering the service of the Russian Air Force at the end of 2020, netizens have many questions, when will the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon stealth fighter jet compete in real air-to-air combat, to the point of bringing down the opponent's aircraft?

So far, the Su-57 has been involved in Russia's military operations in Syria, and was said to have been deployed on a limited basis in the early stages of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February. However, the Su-57 in military operations is deployed for air-to-surface missions, which means that it does not face off against opposing fighter jets.

Quoted from eurasiantimes.com (19/10/2022), it was mentioned for the first time that Russia's fifth-generation fighter jet, the Su-57, managed to bring down an opponent's fighter jet, namely the target of a Su-27 fighter jet belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force. The claim, originating from svpressa.ru, reveals that the Ukrainian Su-27 was shot down using a hypersonic long-range air-to-air missile, the Vympel R-37M. Still from the same source, it is said that the Su-27 was at an altitude to intercept the Russian kamikaze drone Geran-2 (Shaded-136).

According to the report, the Su-57 was most likely responsible for firing the missile, as US Air Force AWACS patrolling in Poland and Romania in 24/7 mode were unable to detect it.

Unfortunately, the location and date of the incident is not stated. For the record, the R-37M missile can also be launched from MiG-31BM and Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets. It was previously widely reported that the MiG-31BM used these missiles to strike targets in Ukraine. Samuel Ramani, foreign and defense policy expert, tweeted that a Russian MiG-31 armed with R-37M missiles and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles recently landed in Belarus.

Meanwhile, Russian media claimed that the Russian Air Force used a new technique to locate Ukrainian air defense installations. In this tactic, Russian warplanes fire R-37M (RVV-BD) missiles in anticipation of rocket or missile attacks from Ukrainian air defense systems. Thus, the counterattack of the Ukrainian troops revealed their position.

AWACS Killer

The R-37 missile itself is not very recent, lined up as the Very Long Range Missile, the R-37 design has been first designed since the early 1980s, and was first known to exist in 1989.

With a weight of up to 600 kg and a firing range of up to 398 km, this super long-range air-to-air missile is prepared by Russia (d/h – Soviet Union) as a competitor to the United States' AIM-54 Phoenix. Even the R-37's glide speed reaches Mach 6, while the famous AIM-54 Phoenix is ??released from the F-14 Tomcat, the maximum speed is Mach 5.

With a shooting range beyond visual range, as well as super speed, of course this missile target is very chosen and strategic. For example, the target of the R-37 is the AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) reconnaissance aircraft and C4ISTAR capable aircraft.

The latest variant, called the R-37M, can track targets with semi-active and active radar homing. Targets can also dauber from an altitude of 15 to 25,000 meters.

Compared to the first generation R-37 which reached a weight of 600 kg, the R-37M weight can be reduced to 510 kg. The warhead is HE (High Explosive) fragmented with a weight of 60 kg, although it doesn't hit the target directly, the explosion effect is believed to be able to destroy AWACS. Speed ??is maintained at Mach 6 or 7,350 km / h. (Prime Gilang)
