There are several working prototypes of the CAFRAD radar and they have been selected to be used in the I-Class Frigates and TF-2000 class frigates of the Turkish Navy. No product developed by Turkish industry is immediately commissioned into the Turkish Armed Forces hence the gap between development and deployment. TAF wants several years of testing before allowing any system to be used by it. The CAFRAD systems were more recently tested in South Africa by the Turkish Navy.

Turkey has invested billions into Radar development and today they export and sub-contract to companies like THALES. Turkey’s biggest success is the GaN power amplifier MMICs (one of the critical blocks of those T/R modules). ASELSAN and Bilkent University jointly established a GaN foundry named AB-MikroNano in December 2014 responsible for mass production of GaN dies. These GaN based T/R modules will also be used in Turkey’s airborne AESA radar for the TF-X.

so if Turkey is so good in tech why it need so many subcontractors for submarine upgrades?

STM is the main contractor responsible for managing the program. In 2016, STM awarded contracts to Airbus Defence and Space, Aselsan and Havelsan for periscope and optronic masts, electronic support measures (ESM) systems, and command and control suites, respectively. The U.K-based Kelvin Hughes joins these subsystem vendors in supporting the Agosta 90B upgrade program.

Oh.. it looks like you have everything covered there 🙂

So how much will the initial R/D bill be, whos gonna pay for it?
Realisticly, how long would such program take?
What other program would have to be axed or delayed for this to ever happen?

When i got to your last part approx $60 mill flyaway, i had to put my Coffey cup down, lol!

Like i said, hope wont get you far, nor does dreaming.
MIG has seen a steady loss of knowhow personel over the last 20years. They all work for other aviation company now.
The whole MIG branch is in chamble.
And now MIG will succeed where SAAB, EF, Rafale, US Boeing and LM has ended up in the ditch 🙂

Many other Russian State program has been delayed or axed altogether. Like the next interceptor. New CAS platform etc, due to difficult/shortage in Military funding.

I’m i the only one in here that see this..?
It just wont happen!

Edit:
Perhaps the best point;
There is something called UAC in Russia, and within UAC is Sukhoi. now Sukhoi has a very stronk influence in UAC.
The last thing Sukhoi would want to see is less state funding for any of their state contract’s and R/D programs stream of funding due to Russia having to fund MIG’s program.

MIG is gaining personal. how do you think that fast upgrades to MIG-31BM happening? from where those JF17 and other helicopter engines coming from?. where are those 70 MIG29K and numerous MIG29SMT upgrades? MIG35 has separate industrial chain and its quick induction will accelerate Su24/Su25 retirement. there plenty of order for MIG29.
Iran/Syria/Egypt and possibly Irak/Libya down line are all potential customers for MIG29 upgrades and new built.

Russia May See Mid-East, African States Queuing for MiG-35 Fighter Jet
This jet really has a good prospects in terms of promotion at the foreign markets, including the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. Currently we are considering the possibility of conducting a presentation of its technical abilities to particular foreign buyers,” Frolkin told reporters at the IDEX-2017 exhibition in the United Arab Emirates.

China is getting antiship missile. not sure its related to Su-35.

Russia, China sign contract on supply of anti-ship missile systems

Why would Turkey and Israel get into a fight?
Cheers

Turkey used to buy Israel military equipment now Turkey will become competitor to Israeli equipment as both works in upgrade market and UAVs. Plus if Turkey has to enhance its creditionals it has to start fight with Israel. and in fight with Israel Russia equipment will become handy. Turkey is not that much in hurry in its own F35 buy.

Don’t go full retard, thanks

you made claim of similar sales approach. Russia booted out Ukraine from parts supply. so sub contractors in other countries simply cant make long term investment hoping that will supply to Ruaf.

New Export Version Of Su-30SM Fighter Unveiled At Singapore Airshow 2016
Russian-made components for the Su-30SME fighter jet’s avionics suite have allowed enhancing the aircraft’s capabilities.

If you want to troll, at least make some effort.Russian has very similar approach with HAL FGFA

really? it similar? what percent of parts in T-50 from India. that FGFA is separate venture. even the Su-30SM parts practically all replaced.

Yep, no one apart from Japan , Korea , Australia , Israel , Italy , Denmark , United Kingdom , Norway , Turkey…the list go on

These are directly or indirectly industrial and trade partners with F35 programme. Russian sales approach is very different .
