Yes - 10 tons of internal useful load (= TOW - OEW = fuel + internal weapons) sure, no question. But 10 tons of internal payload (= weapons only)? Not a chance. Terminology matters.
 
He probably confused total and internal when talking that fast
Yeah Mr.Kotil has a tendency to give as much information as quickly possible to the point that most of the time he ends up confusing his audience. And the reporters usually aren't particularly knowledgeable so we get this kind of statements from time to time.
 
anybody knows what Aselsan's BÜRFİS IRFS abbreviation means? Integrated RF Sensors(?) Systems(?)?

Of course, just need to find a drawing or a photo on the side
Some mock-ups, if these help-

Is it known which GE F110 variant is currently installed in the KAAN demonstrator? -100, -129, -132?
 
Bozdogan estimated data from Jane's
Length
overall: 3.6 m (11 ft 9¾ in) (est.)
Diameter
body: 180 mm (7.09 in) (est.)
Flight control surfaces
span: 0.48 m (1 ft 7 in) (est.) (wing)
 
@paralay are you sure that Kaan is 20.1 meters (L) to 13.3 meters (W)? Because I found around. 20.9 to 13.9 when I overlaid a F-16 Block 40M of TurAF used engines as a scale? Can you do the same and share the results?
 
I have big doubts on the fact that this aircraft can fly, as it is depicted here.
 
I have to ask, why do you think this aircraft will not have the ability to fly?
