No one has said anything about the Tolun being released upside down. This is a bit like the Russian KGK bombs that are released upside down. Then it rotates and opens its wings. Quite different to the KGK release video below

In supersonic aircrafts, surpassing the supersonic barrier is important. The drag coefficient increases rapidly as the aircraft nears the Mach 1. It then stays at high levels till about Mach 1.1-1.2 . After Mach1.2 it drops down hyperbolically. It is therefore not advisable to stay in transonic...

Not much of a competitor to be honest. Fenestron rotors are quiet and safer but….. Greater weight, therefore greater power requirement and more air resistance brought by the enclosed structure Higher cost to construct. More power is needed during the hover phase In short less efficient as a...

Re: 40 x F16V70 planes, 79 V70 upgrade kits for 23 billion dollars purchase package https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/turkiye-f-16-aircraft-acquisition-and-modernization We have one member thinking it is going to cost us 8-12 billion, another member thinking 10-12 billion...

There are three island states that are still Dutch territories. (Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten). In addition the Dutch have large overseas trading connections and companies. Rotterdam is the busiest port in Europe. Majority of goods that western Europe use go through Dutch territory and...

If you want to look at it from another angle, “principally”, F110, F135, F119 are not that different from each other. Over the years F110 has evolved by using newer technologies and special alloys and materials. If F110 were “old-tech”, US wouldn’t be using it in their B2 stealth bombers, nor...

A 5th generation engine needs to be: 1. With high enough dry thrust (22K - 26K lbf) to impart supercruise capability to the plane. 2. Air inlet design to allow radar signals not to bounce back. LP Fan and compressor section to have blade design to be optimised to absorb radar signals. 3...

Dear members as mentioned here before, fake news is no news. this is a respectable forum. Let us discuss more credible issues. All unnecessary posts that are Related to “fake and no basis” news have been erased.

This is a respectable forum. There should be no place for false and wrong information. We have had people like late “Mr Bekdil” and now this guy. They are full of wrong information. Worst of all this guy doesn’t know he is spewing out crap. We as forum members should have the right wisdom not to...

To open this up a bit more for those not aware of Türkiye’s ballistic missile abilities; Turkiye , seems, is playing catch up behind Iran, in terms of range and quantity, as we have joined this bandwagon quite late. Yet we have : Yildirim missiles with ranges 150-300km. - not very precise Bora...

LAST warning to all relevant parties. If this bickering and personal attacks don’t stop you will get lengthy bans. Stay within forum rules. Glorifying human beings killed has no place in this forum. Stop attacking specific races or creeds.

LWT like Leonardo MU90, has an effective range of 12 to 25 km. Tuzla Class are littoral patrol boats. Their range is no more than 1900km. So they are not going to take on the responsibilities of a Corvette or even a Fast Attack Boat. (Kilic Class has a range of 1900km too. But have a different...

There are only 16 in Turkish navy. 10 Tuzla class are in use with Turkmenistan Navy. Our Tuzla Class boats are under armed. Especially with respect to self defence. They should carry a number of Cakir anti ship missiles and we should find a place for a Levent missile system optimised for this...

The 23billion dollar package does not include the engines for KAAN. Nor does it include the F404 engines for Hurjet. https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/turkiye-f-16-aircraft-acquisition-and-modernization They include 48 F110GE129D engines (the last 30 planes we bought in 2010 had...

https://www.ntv.com.tr/turkiye/son-dakika-haberieurofighter-aliminda-turkiyeye-yesil-isik,qCypp4RTeES2JQZMAqMr8g If this news piece is correct, we are in line to purchase 40 Typhoon fighters with 24 asap and a further 16 to follow, after news of Germany lifting it’s opposition to the sale...

It would make it more intelligible if in your post you clarified which “it” you are talking about. Iam guessing that you mean, with the technological capability of Turkey, we can even increase power to 3000HP ??? We have discussed these issues in previous pages many times over. The so called...

That is shortsightedness. What would we have done if we had no DM2A4 to furnish the Reis Class with? When US stopped the sale of MK41 VLS, we built our own VLS; namely MIDLAS. Besides as well as “us” knowing this torpedo “well”, so do our adversaries. So they probably already devised defence...

The whole purpose of Akya torpedo was to replace the ageing DM2A4 (Seahake) torpedoes. So why are we still trying to buy these from Germany? According to Naval News Akya already proved itself by sinking it’s target in a test firing in December 2023. After this test with the real warhead, AKYA...

In early August, I watched live, Typhoon performing even lower manoeuvres. But it was at least 100m away from the crowd and over the sea. Few years ago a plane in UK crashed in to ground killing people on the ground as it was performing a loop. Since then very strict rules have been placed in...

https://www.instagram.com/p/DAtvULfIbf-/?igsh=d3Zlem4yMG12b2c2 Nice bit of news from Aselsan’s General Manager about Murad. ÖzgürF16 has been busy test flying the Murad aesa radar. He also says that Murad has been integrated in to Hurjet, Akinci and KAAN, and that we should soon see the flight...
