Diverterless Supersonic Inlet with its ugly bump is an ingenious invention of an Italian scientist, Antonio Ferri in the 1950s. However it could not be exploited to the full then, due to the lack of computer power to implement it fully, through Computational Fluid Dynamics. It solves the...

I know we all would like this bird to perform better. But there is reality and there is wishful thinking. 4T Sadak fully loaded is 731kg. You can’t have these on the wings. Under belly of Akinci will only accommodate a single Sadak-4T. (Unless we come up with a lighter Sadak-8T, which can...

TCG Anadolu is essentially and primarily an amphibious assault ship. It can achieve it’s intended potential, without UAVs or UCAVs. It just needs navalised helicopters. It will also need, Unmanned Sea Vessels to improve its combat capabilities, now that we have them available. If we can ever...

Nice bit of public show. Good stuff nevertheless. This test has to be done. These are the first steps yet. But any plane can do that, if it has the wings and lift required. What would be great is when the TB3 stops 150m before the start of the ramp and applies brakes while throttling up. Then...

What are the basic prerequisites of an ASW ship? Number 1 prerequisite should be a very good sonar system. You need to recognise your enemy and target before you can take measures to counter it. A towed array sonar like Captas-4, will potentially recognise a submarine faraway, well before that...

A Scramjet engine powered hypersonic missile, if flying through dense atmospheric layers will be subjected to very acute temperature increases at boundary layers due to air molecules ahead of the hypersonic structure are decelerated across the bow shock, and the converted kinetic energy creates...

Very good question. One of the most challenging and demanding parts of the HGV flight is the application of reliable and effective guidance to the vehicle. Due to high temperature environment a special care has to be taken to overcome problems especially during gliding and terminal stages. As...

@CAN_TR , Crimean war was in 1853 to 1856. But as part of the settlement for the British involvement in Crimea, Cyprus’s sovereignty was ceded to Britain by Abdülhamit the 2nd in 1878. And the Island came under British control then onwards.

Hypersonic Glide Vehicles and the tech behind simplified: As most of us know well, a hypersonic vehicle is a platform that travels at speeds in excess of 5 times the speed of sound. But we must not forget that the speed of sound varies with the density of air and the temperature of air in which...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/misirda-buyuk-rekabet-hurjet-ve-l-39ng/ savunmasanayist is one of my favourite defence sites. But to hava a caption that says great rivalry is most puzzling and more than that, is belittling our Hurjet. L-39NG is a small jet trainer and is in no where near...

Members are asked not to mock each other, and at the same time must adhere to writing intelligible posts whereby English Grammar rules are watched as much as possible. Posts with no commas or full stops or correct grammar, lose meaning and become like a puzzle to solve.

Subsonic case : round/circular nose is more aerodynamic Supersonic case : pointed nose is more aerodynamic. But in stealth designs you need flat surfaces and sharp edges rather than rounded to stop radar signals from bouncing back.

Why would Tusas produce a flying wing form as Anka-3? Main notion that lies behind that is the fact that a flying wing has parameters that imparts stealthiness. Stealthiness is not achieved by adhering to just specific geometry or materials alone. It is the sum of all different parts of the...

For a large SSN it needs about 20metres of water under its kiel to be stealthy. For a SSK size this is under 15 metres. As submarines move closer to the bottom while sailing, they cause a lot of disturbance that bounce back from the bottom. That is why a good depth of water is needed under it’s...

Gür Class and Preveze Class subs, if I am not mistaken, use Hensoldt Sero-400 optronic periscope systems. In their MLU, it was programmed that they were updated. There were also some work undertaken by our companies, to make the close to surface parts, stealthy...

So with that, and the fact that first I-Class ship is furnished with a 76mm Süper RAPID gun, is it not likely that given the choice, the navy will insist on having the same S/R Oto Melara gun to be fitted on to the rest of the I-Class ships? Or alternatively, insist on MKE to introduce the same...

The general in question is reportedly arrested and being taken to Baghdad. If true! A compensation needs to be paid in one form or another.

Any large deal irrespective of the country involved, that has billions hanging at the end of it, is susceptible to being part of a bribery scandal or some form of corruption. We probably suspect these things and may have heard or read about it. But this is not the platform to accuse any country...

Do you have proof of such bribery and corruption? If not you had better retract your claims asap. If you do; then share it here to prove.
