    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Yup. To be precise, those parts were TCU, HSU, Range Pack, retarder and brakes. All were developed and replaced by either 2021 or 2022, which I can't precisely remember. SnT are claiming that they have successfully tested the new version of the transmission on test bench according to the Korean...

    Korea Main Battle Tank programs

    Wow, it's been quite a while since the last time I've seen this rumor about DV27K being based on a "ship engine", I think on Bemil a few years ago. Long story short, that's simply false. The reason the Doosan Infracore engines are long-stroke is because of the fact that their engine lineage...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    This is simply false. There are no technical inputs from BMC in the SnT transmission.

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Btw, just to be sure we're on the same page, the "delay" I was talking about was the delay of the overall F-35 development program, not a DAS specific delay. A lot of F-35 capabilities were rescheduled once the inevitable delays kicked in and I'd guess that exactly was a case for the megapixel...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    No, the current DAS resolution is 640 * 512. The DAS backend was built with megapixel sensors in mind but that was never realised until Block 3 due to constant delays in the development. Only now with a major upgrade program in form of block 4 is changing this situation and DAS upgrade is listed...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Intel chips were used on F-22 CIPs back then. F-35 is powered by Power architecture as @moz68k said, though a small update, later ICPs are powered with Power (no pun intended) from Freescale rather than Motorola for obvious reasons.

    Go back and read my post 5313 on TF-X thread again. I've already answered regarding this video you've posted here/back then on the TF-X thread. Long story short, RR will develop and test some new techniques of development and manufacturing processes with Orpheus. Obviously this will trickle...

    Like I've said in TF-X thread as a reply to your post back then on posts 5295 and 5313, GCAP engine will be based on the Anglo-Japanese design based on RR XG240 and IHI XF9. No, it doesn't have any direct link to Orpheus and even less to the Pearl family of engines, which are built for biz jets.

    https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2023/01/indias-drdo-and-naval-group-to-upgrade-submarines-with-aip/ So a separate P75I program indeed seems to be dead.

    Korea South Korea discussing nuclear weapons

    Whoa whoa whoa, holl'up. Just because his predecessor was a living, breathing catastrophe and his successor is the currently most famous dimwit in the country, that doesn't mean Moon was a successful president. Moon as a human rights activist and lawyer and as a president are two very different...

    India Navy SSK Submarines

    I have to say, P75i really is a complete mess. No wonder Indians are angry with how the project is handled. Now this part is something I can't disagree more with. The author of this article clearly is not really knowledgeable about naval warfare or recent submarine warfare developments. Also...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Yeah, I know that part. SABR is also cooled with liquid-cooled ECS, which's heat-exchanger is cooled with the bleed air from F100/F110. This was the case with the older mechanically scanning F-16 radars as well and SABR uses the same cooling capacity, which was its main limitation, as you would...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Yup, very true. I think it's a smart move by LM. Their South Carolina factory is clearly not big enough for current international demands of F-16 and they definitely will be able to secure more F-16 deals should they have more production capacity. One of the biggest reason Poland opted for...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    That means the CDR will also be done around a year earlier. Though if we think about it twice, considering that the PDR must have been completed last year, it really isn't all that strange that the program will reach CDR status a year later or in other words, this year, 2023. Actually, I think...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Wait, I knew that Özgür will undergo structural life extension but I didn't knew it will also have structural changes for better cooling. Probably means more ram-air? Sounds like THK is really serious about MURAD. The former I think is the actual case, but the latter is very hard to agree with.

    Korea KF-X/ IF-X (KF-21) program

    Yup, CFRP/GFRP, mainly carbon epoxy but lately I've heard that some parts are manufactured with cabon BMI. As for the RAM, they are using film type RAM for the skins and are trying cocuring and OOA techniques of prepregs of RAM with the leading edge structures to manufacture RAS.

    Korea KF-X/ IF-X (KF-21) program

    That exactly is the plan. All block 1 aircrafts will be upgraded to block 2 as soon as it's developed. To quote KAI engineers, "almost every hardware for block 2 are already in place. The difference is getting the softwares in place and certifying them for use". The image I'm talking about is...

    BÜRFIS is based on Turkish technologies and expertise gained through series of AESA developments on land, sea and air, the most important experience being that from MURAD.
