Unless there is an operational F47 that can replace F22, the Raptor is the top fighter jet in my book. It has high LO characteristics and is a true monster that still many 5th gen manufacturers take as a point of reference. If US would take the leap and start upgrading its avionics, radar and...

Previous newspiece about this, was all about the use of a Delta-V sounding rocket, to place the Tolun munition at such a distance and altitude that, it would negate the need to use an aircraft, hence not putting both the aircraft and the pilot in danger. The smaller of the Delta-V rockets was...

Bro , just read the first paragrapgh as the caption. If I didn’t know what was actually done, I would think the whole Project was completed. It says frigates, in plural, and states that project was completed. quote ASELSAN published a press release to announce that it has successfully completed...

https://turdef.com/article/aselsan-completes-meko-class-frigate-modernisation Very misleading caption. Anyone would think that the whole project is completed. Only the Orucreis ship’s modernisation is completed. There are 3 more ships in the program that need to be upgraded. Exactly 7 years...

This issue was discussed previously. pls see post https://defencehub.live/threads/missile-smart-munition-programs.334/page-176#post-208026 Official price given was over 1 million dollars each for SOM In 2018 a contract was signed for 415 SOM to be produced for Turkish Armed Forces...

Great news for Aksungur. But I wish they actually stated the range and altitude from which it fired the LGK munitions. We are seeing more and more drones being shot down by separatists. Either these rebels have access to sophisticated AD systems or the drones are flying too low and/or too close...

https://turdef.com/article/rare-earths-to-become-new-pillar-in-u-s-turkiye-relations A deal to supply rare earth elements to US should accompany many conditions that favour Türkiye. I hope that the government don’t down-sale the importance of these strategic materials. This could become a very...

Bro, no matter how much R&D you perform, an non-stealthy drone like TB2 and Akinci will always be prone to getting shot if they operate too low or in skies where AD systems are not suppressed or eliminated. All the Hype about TB2 in the early days were thanks to : 1. Anka’s EW experience being...

If you sell it to any Tom Dick and Harry to make a quick buck without accompanying EW set up. If you sell it to countries that don't know how to use it properly and if they are used in airspace where modern AD are present, what do you expect? These are lethargic, cumbersome, slow and...

As per @Sanchez ’s post everyone may use a different unit to calculate %ge of locality. 1. percentage of value. 2, percentage of weight and/or volume 3. percentage of importance But as per @TR_123456 ’s post, if you don’t have an engine the rest is superfluous. Had we been a country like...

Irrespective of their sizes, if they are in orbit around the earth, they are satellites and are visible especially if they are emitting RF. In general, EW with microwaves in 4GHz to 8GHz and 8GHz to 12GHz are the way to jam and attack other electronic machinery. The stronger and closer the...

Bro, at what altitude are you thinking of placing those satellites? If you place them at less than 36000km they will not be in synchronous orbit. This means the satellites will not always have full coverage. You would need thousands of satellites like starlink. At 36000km altitude you can not...

We have TB2s stationed at Cyprus. There is a potential military presence of 40K strong, even though the numbers are nor disclosed. Cyprus is effectively a war zone with a long ceasefire in place. It would be naive of us not to place a layered defence system in place. Vural is not stationary...

https://www.defenceturk.net/aselsanin-eh-sistemleri-gkryni-kor-ediyor Aselsan’s VURAL EW system has been operational in Cyprus and causing havoc for the Southern Cypriots. It is connected to the TRS-22XX long range early warning radar system with 500km range that is positioned at 888m elevation...

Regarding Batteries, Aspilsan may be involved. But for the AIP system it was GURBAG with STM working together. https://archive.gdh.digital/milli-denizalti-milden-insasina-2025-yilinda-baslanacak-125486 But quite likely Spanish input may be sought.Current Reis Class utilises acid batteries. But...
