    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Kizilelma has successfully fired a BVR a2a missile with a hit on a fast moving air target. First of it’s kind in the world. It has used it’s IWBs for air to ground stand off bombing albeit with some level of improvement still to be made. (Tolun glide bomb)

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Kizilelma was designed and is predominantly for air combat. It is not going to be as stealthy as an Anka-3. It will be good for BVR engagements against 4th and 4.5 generation fighters with our F16s in the background. As a bomber it can be used only in less contested airspace and/or with stand...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Instead of trying to pull the wool over our eyes with an extremely delayed production of a simple propeller driven trainer aircraft’s first serial production sample, Tusas should get it’s act together and start flying multiple Kaan jets for testing. At the rate they are going we should be lucky...

    Italy Navy DDX, the new destroyer of the Italian Navy

    All modern Japanese destroyers and all of US destroyers use gas turbine propulsion. They use more fuel. Hence less range??

    Italy Navy DDX, the new destroyer of the Italian Navy

    It is low if you compare it to 6-8000 ton vessels. UK’s 8300 ton Type 45 destroyer has a 7000 Nautical mile range. Latest 9700ton Arleigh Burke and 15500ton Zumwalt both have 4400 Nautical mile ranges. Normally these ranges are supposed to be classified. For example Japanese have a program to...

    If you read the earlier posts of @Anmdt regarding Tepe, İstif and cost base, you will see that the cost of a ship‘s hull constitutes approximately 10-15% of a frigate’s total cost. In fact he points out that you can double the size/tonnage of an İstif hull for around 75 to 80 million dollars...
