Wow! This is no different than medieval highway banditry. A gulf that is home to no less than 8 sovereign countries is being held ransom by 21st century brigands. Can you imagine Turkiye asking for 20% from every country that has shores in the Black Sea, to use our straits?

If so, what is the point? Yes, due to incompetent management of F35 programme and S400 debacle plus the greed of top management over Kaan ‘s engine development, we have made grave errors and fallen behind during the last decade. But now we are in the process of making amends. We just need to be...

Bro, do you have a source about these predictions? Or is it your own opinion? As of March 2025 it was stated that a firing test of a Gokdogan missile was carried out with an F16 Ozgur plane carrying Murad Aesa radar. https://www.defenceturk.net/f-16-ozgurden-test-atislari A year before that...

Guys, I know I started the conversation regarding on time deliveries. But no need to argue over it or take the mickey about it. The whole idea of this F110 engine saga was to do with timely deliveries. One would think that our officials would get a solid contract with heavy late delivery...

https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/ukraines-new-fp-9-ballistic-missile-is-one-engine-test-away-from-hitting-russia-20646 Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Previously not being able to manufacture solid fuelled ballistic missiles enmasse due to closeness of the manufacturing...

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-f110-jet-engine-sale-to-turkiye-to-proceed-as-congress-does-not-block-move/3994017 As stated in this news piece, since the US Congress has not blocked the deal for the purchase of around 80 F110 engines for KAAN’s Block 10 & 20 production runs in the...

A turbofan engine uses many methods of cooling. The turbine blades have air cooling channels and ceramic surface treatments to help with temperature control. These have to be working in the prototypes. But the rest of the engine needs cooling as well. As well as the complete engine cooling; the...

@dBSPL ustat, @TR_123456 may have a point. When parts are produced, I remember they were being allocated for specific aircraft per order. So, for example, we knew when we produced our fuselages. (Common spare parts for general spares stocks may be a different issue).

It is in a way better that it doesn’t happen. More funds for Kaan and related investments. Another push in the back for our defence industry. Less hassle for us later re possible US control over our defence matters. OK we may not have access to the US 5th gen tech. But as it is we are past...

It may have to be streamlined. Also lose 90% of its explosive weight. Plus get better seekers, fins and TVC. Structurally it needs to be able to stand very high G turns. If launched from a plane at 40000+ ft altitude, it could reach hypersonic speeds. So it‘s range could be pretty impressive...

The TRG 300 ER missile is the ideal long range stand off missile for our f16s today and tomorrow. It can approach hypersonic speeds during mid course and hits the target with supersonic speeds. The sooner this missile is integrated to our f16s the better. Kaan block 10s should carry up to 5 of...

If your submarines don’t have VLS with correct dimensions that can accommodate the missile, forget it. If however, your submarines have the correct dimension VLSs, then you need to develop technologies like nuclear ballistic missile submarines use to launch ICBMs. That is not easy either. When...

In a real world firing, a standard anti-ship ballistic missile uses a multi-stage guidance process: During mid-course it would be guided by inertial navigation by satellite updates to reach the general area of the target.Then the on board radar or IR seekers or both take over for terminal...

You misunderstood I think. I was elaborating and guessing over @Anmdt ’s post regarding the guidance. My line of thought was that if the boat was free and was drifting with current, it would be doing that within a specific drift pattern and either the missile’s guidance or another source...

If the target wasn’t anchored, it would be free to move if there were surface currents. According to naval info, normal rim currents in Black Sea varies from 0.2m/sec to 0.5m/sec. We don’t know the range of flight of this test. But if it were ~560km as per first Tayfun test, the flight time...
