If one F-16 costs 500 million USD in long term, why not?, it is highly possible. Of course it is just for Turkish Air Force not for foreigners.

I don't want sound against it but this truck mounted - 35mm ciws + SHORAD - platform is really necessary? I don't think 35 CIWS could fire on move. If this platform for security of strategic assets, korkut has other option. You can not secure a strategic factory just with one CIWS. Need to...

Yes there is no data link that's why you need to check seekers engagement. Otherwise how you could connect information from radar with missiles. First AESA radars detects target. But SUNGUR is standard limited MANPADS missiles as you send. You can not send target information to SUNGUR. SUNGUR...

Appreciate. Absolutely why not. I always wondered how much size effect on total cost. 5500 ton frigate for additional 15 percentage of costs. Sounds interesting 🤔

Twitter link doesn't show content Burch air defense turret launching SUNGUR SAM. Great platform. Notice how engaging launcher. The missile canister's cover opens. This is how they test whether the seeker head can detect IR signals, similar to the Mistral/SINBAD naval launcher. Lock on...

AfD leader calls on Ukrainians in Germany to return home Alice Weidel says young Ukrainian men of military age should return, calls for Syrians to leave Germany when grounds for asylum no longer exist...

Who is actually backing who in Yemen right now? To be honest, Houthi support among locals is way more complicated than it looks on the news. Even though they hold areas where nearly 80% of the population lives, that doesn't mean everyone there is an ideological fan. If you look at local...

Because of Shahed Kamikaze drones, Soon ordinary people of the world will not be able to find two stroke, motorcycle engines 😅

They won't be as İnfrared stealth as Shahid drones due to huge heat signature. Just missiles with mmW seeker (Hellfire Longbow , Brimstone, Spear , RIM-116) could engage them. Shahed Kamikaze drones are successful because their motorcycle engines create low heat signature so IR Seekers of...

İnfrared Seekers are not able to detect Shahed Kamikaze UAVs because their tiny motorcycle engines have very low heat signature. Our UMTAS won't work. That's why US Army use Hellfire Longbow with microwave seekers against UAV and USV. On the other hand IIR seeker for naval use very fragile...

İnteresting 🤔 I thought İstif class was cheaper because of light weight. Beside Turkish Navy, Why would one buy İstif class if it is less cheap, less spacious and less seaworthy?

Answer should be Offshore Patrol Vessels since they are chosen by Navy. According to Dear @Anmdt our Navy likes larger and bigger ships rather than they are supposed to be. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/thai-navy-selects-south-koreas-hanwha-ocean-for-508m-frigate-contract/4051569 I...

Since there is descent Smart MK2 S band radar, do you really need additional S band radar or replace it? Smart S plus METE combination will be best solution. Could they fit METE on ADA class? ASELSAN’s 4D multi-beam 2-axis AESA non-rotating naval radar, CAFRAD METE, is optimized for...

Allaaaahuakbaaar!😁 Finally, let's write wishlist 🥰 1) 4 x AESA Plates ( compact/ half of MAR-D) 2) 2 x Göksur VLS 3) frontal rotating Göksur launcher 4) 4x Venom L 30mm CIWS with UMTAS For now that's all😅

Pantsir which is equal to wheeled Korkut costs app 20million USD. Most of costs are radar and missiles. https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/saudi-arabia-reportedly-acquires-39-russian-pantsir-s1m-air-defense-systems-in-secret-deal/ İf the deal is finished, What a pitty for KSA as well as for...
