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...

You are correct! If you check on google you will find that Apple’s second largest R&D centre is in Israel with couple of thousand engineers employed.. Samsung, Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi, Nokia, Motorola all have R&D centres in Israel. They are the people that develop the latest and most modern stuff...

Aselsan means Askeri Elektronik Sanayii In English, “Military Electronics Industries”. It’s primary aim is military . I can understand them producing electronic gear and equipment as a sub contractor for health industry and other non military set ups. But to go in to a somewhat semi retail...

https://m.haber7.com/dunya/haber/3662967-rusyadan-son-dakika-turkiye-duyurusu-bomba-s-400-hamlesi If above newspiece is correct, Russian FM Lavrov has pointed out that S400 system in Turkey can be sent to any country as long as that country has friendly relations with Russia. This means...

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

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...

Bro, most of the western countries use US mk41 VLS (So do Germans) . There is usually 10-12 months lead time for them to be manufactured. Even if countries are using indigenous VLS, none of them are off the shelf items. Even if the ships are in FFBNW format they still have to content with...

When a bunker buster bomb explodes underground in a “confined” space, the explosive force has 3 basic physical parameters. 1. Kinetic and thermal energy release 2. Confined space pressure release 3. Shockwave pressure release. GBU-57 has 2400kg of explosive Hayalet has 250kg of explosive So...

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...

Let us not get ahead of ourselves. I have written about the bomb in question here before, which is dubbed as “hayalet”, in my previous post in below page Post number #10354 https://defencehub.live/threads/tf-x-kaan-fighter-jet.18801/page-518#post-390946 Hayalet and gbu57 are very different...

Bro, these destroyers are essentially air defence destroyers. For escort duties 1 destroyer should suffice. Two would be OK but instead of two destroyers two frigates, one ASW specialised and one general purpose with the destroyer and a submarine or two should be enough as a carrier group...

@turkizilm , you have shared a very sensitive and potentially important information. Authenticity of this information is of paramount importance. There are many thoughts and statements such that Yildirim-4 project is there as a cover story for other missiles’ development projects. If you do...

They don’t need to build a “bigger” Akinci. They just need to improve it’s structural construction and aerodynamic performance. Just look at the below difference between MQ-9 Reaper Advanced specs and Akinci-C specs. Akıncı C with its 2 x 850HP engines has the same maximum payload limit as the...

Yes.
