    I don't know how Turkiye, Pak and SA will work jointly on Kaan. There is nothing to develop anymore other than the engine, and the engine has already completed the PDR phase and the CDR phase has started. Saudis might get a local assembly if they order a huge amount. Pakistan won't get block 10...

    More modules do not necessarily mean more output. 10x 30W modules and 5x60W modules have the same output. Bigger aperture=narrower beam. more modules does not necassarily mean bigger aperture. Beam width is determined by aperture size not how densely modules are packed. More modules are only...

    It seems like the TF-35000 and TS-3000 teams will be transferring to TEI Teknoloji. TEI will be a production subcontractor and won't have a role or will have a very limited role in the design and engineering of those engines. TS-1400 and TF-6000 will continue at TEI.

    Commodore is not a hierarchical rank in the Turkish Navy, but rather an operational title given to senior colonels who command a flotilla-level naval unit. They are granted the power of an admiral and use the flag and insignia of an admiral even though they are colonels.

    This is important because we knew that Aselsan has been using its homegrown detectors for sometime but now they are actively marketing those detectors, which means Aselsan ramped up production of those products, and there are better versions in the pipeline. It is also important that Aselsan...

    Both aperture area and output power affect the radar range. The number of TR modules alone has no direct effect. The number of TR modules is only important if it affects the total output power or aperture size. Rmax: Maximum detection range (meters) Pt: Radar transmitter power (watts)...

    2304 TRM for the nose(144 subarray, 16x TRM per subarray) compared to 1152 TRM for Murad-100A(72 subarray 16x TRM per subarray) 2x peak power per TRM compared to Murad-100A (30W vs 60W) for a total of 4x max power output. Subarray tiles will be bigger. Cheek and aft radars rumorud to have 576...

    Murad-600A will have 4x max output power and 4x aperture area compared to Murad-100A. If you do the math (radar equation) in theory this changes will increase the maximum range by 2.828x, so we can safely assume Murad-600A to have at least 2.5x range compared to Murad-100A.

    Orbital tracking radar is not useful for the detection of F-35. Its purpose is to detect and track items orbiting Earth. Passive radar can detect F-35 from several hundred kilometers in favorable conditions. But it is an inherently different sensor compared to active radars and has caveats...

    Yes, they are probably the final ground-based sensors together with the passive radar system and STR-800G orbital tracking radar. There will be satellite-based early warning and SAR sensors. I guess we can also count UAV and airplane-based early warning radars, they are all interlinked.

    ALP-400G will have a more modern AESA antenna similar to Chinese JY-26 radar. The conceptual design phase is probably completed, and it is moving to the detailed design phase, which is why we are seeing a different design. ETA is 2029 for ALP-400G.

    S-400, F-35, CAATSA, Avrupa ile silah ticareti üçgeninde ilginç duyumlar var. Türkiye S-400 konusunda adım atmak için CAATSAnın kaldırılmasını şart koşmuş. Amerikalılara S-400 aldığımız için F-35'ten çıkarılmamız bir noktaya kadar anlaşılabilir, ancak CAATSA'nın uygulanması hiçbir sebeple makul...
