According to the above news, the purchase of 6 units of t-129 Atak helicopter by Bangladesh is going ahead. Apparently, the deal is being done via a “government to government” agreement. Two more like it and we will have sold the quantity of t-129 s we missed out on with Pakistan...

Correct. But F22 can carry drop tanks to improve its range (more than 1600 Nm. It is primarily an air superiority design with combat radius as a secondary point). However it is a few decades older tech if compared to F35. Where as F35 is still being updated, hardly anything has been added to...

I fully agree. Without extra fuel tanks and help of fuel tankers they are almost useless. You can’t beat a twin engined fighter in that respect. But F16 isn’t that much better either. In fact, although f16 has a longer ferry range, when loaded, F35A has better operational radius than F16...

I like that logic! Makes sense. If you leave your pilots inexperienced about warfare in supersonic flight conditions, they would be at a disadvantage when they have to.. But this plane is there to train pilots for a fighter jet that is a flying computer in essence, that is also carrying...

After a long delay the T-7A trainer deliveries have started with the first units. https://www.boeing.com/defense/fighters-and-bombers/t-7 This is a state of the art trainer, specially designed to train 5th and next generation fighter pilots. But the problem is that these fighters are so easy to...

Get back to the main topic of the tread before your posts are deleted please.

For a turbojet powered short range cruise missile it has too little amount of explosives. Block 1 has 6kg. (similar to a 155mm shell) . Block 2 has 20kg. It has to be pretty precise when hitting a target though. CEP of better than 3m is needed for maximum damage. Especially on moving targets.

Bro, that is on paper and in advertising propaganda information. 1. If it takes off vertically, its operational range is shortened so much that the whole process becomes almost futile. Increased mechanical complexity, reduced internal payload/fuel capacity, less range/endurance and higher fuel...

If you look at the below picture and the 3D model, there is a sizeable radome there to fit some form of a radar in. The designers of the plane, namely Tusas, say they will “ integrate” the Murad radar. So they know how to do it. Operative word there is “integrate”. We are not designers of this...

https://turdef.com/article/aselsan-to-integrate-murad-100-a-radar-on-anka-iii-ucav Murad 100-A will be integrated in to Anka-3. This is good news. Anka-3 with an Aesa radar will be deadlier than ever. It will be able to strike targets really deep in to enemy territory. Come on TEI ! It is...

Although PIF-PAF is a great system that gives advanced agility to interceptor missiles, it is not a must. Especially within atmosphere applications, TVC and traditional fin systems are more than adequate for fine manoeuvring. Our dual pulse interceptors all use TVC and fins to manoeuvre. Things...

No! This “PIF” thrust control is done directly by exhaust gasses or something similar to that effect, that are expelled from the body of the missile. TVC is the system that mechanically diverts nozzle of the rocket motor. With “PIF”, on the body of the missile there are points from which exhaust...

I don’t see the point or need to find similarities between Russian or US AD systems and ours S400 is classed as the best long range AD system by certain circles. Yet Ukranian planes are still operating within its effective operating radius. Plus many of them have been taken out. They have only...

Prior to Bronze Age and till Middle Ages humans used to covet what the next village had. The instinctive drive to have more than they had used to propel them to attack the neighbouring villages and capturing their possessions including their women. In a positive way, this allowed gene pool to...

The 225km range is especially important. It is the distance from our waters west of Cesme to Athens.
