Carriers are extremely well built and over engineered vessels. Particularly the US super carriers are behemoths of their class. They are so well compartmentalised that sinking them is not easy with conventional bombs. Nothing short of a nuclear attack can sink them outright. In 2005 it took 4...

Why the 2-Knot "Drifting" Test is Absolutely Significant: The major and most important hurdle for an AShM is not the target's top speed. It is the fact that the target is not stationary like a land coordinate. Conventional ballistic missiles fly to predetermined GPS or inertial coordinates...

Well, it to me too was a bit of a mystery. But Tayfun Block 3 hit a sea target at very high impact speed. The target in question was only 7m in length and very narrow fishing boat freely moving with currents at around 2 knots (that is verified as Black Sea current speeds). That is drifting at a...

Delving deeper into Tayfun Block 4: As Roketsan is getting ready to introduce this missile in to TSK inventory this year, it is important to look at some facts and deduce some calculated guesstimates. F If we look at the various statements and foreign write ups on this missile called Tayfun...

https://turdef.com/article/siper-2-air-defence-missile-enters-serial-production As mentioned above, Roketsan‘s and Aselsan’s Siper 2 missile systems with 150+km range and 30+ km altitude have started serial production runs. As deliverable quantities are reached they will become part of the TSK...

KUZGUN-KY (Solid Fuel / Rocket-Powered): Good for high-speed tactical strikes under a minute, successfully tested from unmanned surface vessels (AUSV) like the MARLIN. KUZGUN-SS (Free Gliding): Designed for standoff deployment from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like AKINCI and Aksungur...

Although there has not been any new “breaking news” on Kuzgun range of missiles,it doesn’t mean that they are forgotten. Tubitak Sage site clearly shows them as valid munitions. https://www.sage.tubitak.gov.tr/en/uav-munition/kuzgun/ Tubitak has been busy with testing and integrating SOM-J and...

Listen to that guy called Ozay Sendir after 8.00 Apparently he has extensive reach to defence industry top guns and politicians related to it, together with top administrators. Real Insider. He says ; not just 1200+ engineers at TEI ! But a large contingency of engineers from outside with...

All modern western jet engines use single crystal turbine blade technology. Russian engines up until AL-51-F1 engine in SU57, used directionally solidified crystal blades. Directionally solidified crystal blades are formed in layers of crystalline lattices. During extreme heat and rotational...

Kizilelma has successfully fired a BVR a2a missile with a hit on a fast moving air target. First of it’s kind in the world. It has used it’s IWBs for air to ground stand off bombing albeit with some level of improvement still to be made. (Tolun glide bomb)

Kizilelma was designed and is predominantly for air combat. It is not going to be as stealthy as an Anka-3. It will be good for BVR engagements against 4th and 4.5 generation fighters with our F16s in the background. As a bomber it can be used only in less contested airspace and/or with stand...

Tusas CEO Dr Demiroglu has been giving out new dates and at the same time trying to divert attention from delayed Kaan P1 first flight with small news about other stuff. . “KAAN is an aircraft in which all major systems—with the exception of just two—have been developed domestically. Its...

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...
