A new military turbofan fighter engine is not really rebuilt dozens of times, but rather they have: -test hours, -teardown inspections, and - flight test cycles. Development Teardowns and Inspections: Initial Qualification: An engine model undergoes a mandatory military specification tests for...

Source please!!

You are correct. That is purely the difference of steam CATOBAR vs EMALS that has been mentioned in that article. STOBAR is slower than both of them. Plus more importantly, with STOBAR you can not launch planes with full loads. Main advantage of STOBAR over CATOBAR is , lower cost, simpler...

US air force is developing a 460+ km range air to air missile to be used by F35s, F/A18s and future F47s. This should put the cat among pigeons!! Built quietly by Raytheon’s Advanced Technology division, the AIM-424 Long Range Air-to-Air Missile (LRAAM) is capable of hitting targets over 250...

That is a little blinkered way of looking at it. You may ask yourself; Why does Italy have a carrier and a LHD? Italy doesn’t have overseas territories. Why do they build 6600 ton Bergamini class frigates? They have those because of the reasons I gave in previous post. In the seas west of...

Well, you can extend that question to: Do we really need Aircraft carrier? Do we really need destroyers? Did we really need an LHD.? The simple answer to yours and to mine are NO! We are not a rich country to spend 1.5 billion dollars on each destroyer and in excess of 4billion for a carrier...

It is interesting that Baykar, on their KE site clearly state : TAKING OFF AND LANDING ON SHORT-RUNWAY VESSELS Bayraktar KIZILELMA’s capability to operate on short-runway ships, such as Türkiye’s TCG Anadolu, provides a strategic advantage in overseas missions and in the defense of the Blue...

I fully agree with you. If the intention is to sail our flag in blue waters, then İstif class is a limited platform. Long endurance and open seas performance capable 135+ metres long 4500 to 5500 ton frigates are needed. The aircraft carrier will need at least one may be two tepe class...

Bro, as it is, KE probably is as stealthy as the Kaan today. Without RAM paint application and non stealthy engines, both can not be put against any fully fledged stealthy plane like F35. But that doesn’t mean that they will be like that all the time. KE is designed as a low observable plane...

Anka-2 aka Aksungur is being upgraded. According to Demiroglu’s last statements the new version will have a 1250 kg payload and 60 hours flight endurance. I wish they also made it clear how high these platforms would be able to fly at, with 1250kg payload and 60 hours flight endurance. An...

Stumbling block is TEI with their tf6000 and tf10000 engines. We need those two engines being produced in quantity like yesterday. They are too busy with tf35K at the moment

That video looks like the old one that was discussed here in detail about “moving target” issue. But nevertheless it makes every Turk proud to see it over and over again. Great news that they are delivering more and more of them to the forces. Tayfun, with all of it’s blocks, is a weapon that...

All very well. But does this Unmanned Sea Vessel have room for enough mines to lay in multiple numbers over a large area? In the test they have released a single mine.

I know where you are coming from. When there is a video of Anka-3 showing the same munition being tested and hitting a bulls eye, why put a video where you clearly missed the target? It is stupid! At least get help from Tusas to correct it. Then publish a video. Heck! These laser guided...

Bro, These are all questions we would all like to know the answers to as well. 1. Turkiye has started building an Aircraft carrier. So it needs a manned jet fighter. A naval Hurjet, we are hearing from officials, is the solution they have come up with. 2. A naval Hurjet will need more power...
