Good point. But anything bought from anbroad other than Seahawk means more hassle than it is worth. We are used to maintaining Seahawks. A new foreign aircraft will mean new maintenance facilities and teams; or depending on manufacturer based maintenance. It may be cheaper for the short term to...

This is a very sore point! If you check the inventory of TCG Anadolu, it can have a complement of 10 to 12 Seahawks. But for core operations it has got to have at least 2 Seahawks. For ASW operations there are AB212 helicopters that are also sea worthy. But there may be only 4 of these left. And...

If you look up in respectable history books, you will find that: Name "Byzantine" refers to the Eastern Roman Empire (330-1453 AD), centred in Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) known for it’s distinct Greek-Speaking culture, magnificent art. There were Greeks living in the Eastern Roman...

According to given statements, TCG Seferihisar is a later, more advanced version featuring indigenous systems like a MIDLAS Vertical Launch System for missiles and an improved superstructure, essentially a "Mini I-Class with CODELOD propulsion”. Hence all radar and FCS s will be upgraded. It...

Turkiye, will probably not buy any fighter planes if it can not have access to the codes to allow it to integrate home made munitions. That is a fact. It was most likely a non negotiable prerequisite of the agreement signed between UK and Turkiye. There are certain munitions in the initial...

As per @Pokemonte13 has pointed out, when fully mature, the TF10000 should give 10% or maximum 15% more thrust than the Ukranian engine (going by the performance of TEI on TS1400). The TF10000 has slightly bigger diameter than AI322F. (65cm vs 62.4cm) . It is only logical to expect a higher...

This must be an addition to the previous work TEI had done with additive technologies. I distinctly remember Prof Akşit in a fair showing a saucepan like unit similar to this one but without the holes and proudly telling everyone that it was the combustion chamber of the T700 Blackhawk engine...

My understanding was that since their requested amount was rejected, they forwarded an amount of 780 million Euros spending and EU has returned the application back to them due to this spending only covering Greece’s self defence and not European interests. In other words, they have been told...

We have an Aselsan built towed array sonar called DUFAS too. But there are advantages and disadvantages as stated in below Infograph. Summary Comparison Feature Towed Sonar Hull-Mounted Sonar Primary Use Deep water, long-range ASW, detailed surveys Shallow water, navigation, basic fish...

First of all my post was not intended to educate you or anybody. It was in detail to make a point for the benefit of all members here. You have no reason to take a defensive attitude. I think everyone here is aware of what you know. DELTAV Uzay Teknolojileri was established by Dr Arif...

It is good to see that other companies are working on the Ramjet technology. But this is not much different in terms of ramjet, to what Tubitak and Roketsan are working on. OK, they fired from ground to air and activated the ramjet. Tubitak and Roketsan will probably test (if they haven’t...

All posts related to 6th generation fighter aircrafts have been moved to https://defencehub.live/threads/sixth-generation-fighter-aircrafts.21492/ Please carry on discussing it there.

Dear members, don’t you think this argument/discussion has been going on long enough? It is clear that you are not going to change @Pilatino ’s mind. He is well anchored with his ideas. I think it is time to agree to disagree. Otherwise the thread is being cluttered with this idea being repeated...

Is that why submerged submarines can go faster and longer? You need to study aqua/hydrodynamics for submerged vehicles and their drag coefficients and cavitation effects. If you are designing under water vehicles, you design them with a shape that will make their movement to be most efficient...

We should first come down to Earth and not allow what we are building to go to our heads. Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Let us first get this bird to fly with all possible bells and whistles we can furnish it with. We don’t even have a final prototype that can fly. All we are talking...
