At that altitude it WILL go fast. To work efficiently at that altitude, it will also need a Turbojet engine or something like a CRDE. KE, with it’s turbofan power plant, ideally, will fly between 30K feet and 50k feet altitude. It doesn’t really need to fly any higher. KE will be partially a...

CRDE - Continuously Rotating Detonation Engine - technology was briefly discussed in previous pages. https://defencehub.live/threads/propulsion-systems.3/page-86#post-193830 This is still a technology at it’s infancy ; albeit with a lot of promise. But there is still a lot of time and effort...

There is a saying in Turkish; Even with a golden saddle a donkey is a donkey. So, no matter what you do to a F16 plane it’s RCS is not going to be improved to a level whereby it can compete with a modern stealthy 5th generation jet. Nor will it have a stealthy airframe like the delta wing planes...

Citizenship is defined in Article 66 of the Turkish constitution: Everyone bound to the Turkish state through the bond of citizenship is a Turk So any Turkish citizen claiming the opposite is committing constitutional offence. It is nothing less than inciting separatism. Today in Anatolia and...

If you investigate a bit deeper, you will find that the latest Have Glass modified f16s had lower than 1m2 RCS value. All our block 40 and block50 f16s have 5m2 RCS value. MMRCA version of F16 had a very low RCS value similar to Have Glass modified planes. As can be seen from above graph block...

F16C Block30 aircraft has an RCA value of 1.2 m2 as opposed to newer versions of F16 planes’ 5m2 according to below site. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/stealth-aircraft-rcs.htm So our block 30 planes have a distinct stealth advantage compared with the newer F16s. With RAM paint...

Bro, everyone knows that this specific post was meant for @Scott Summers as it was his posts that were deleted. I think you too know, whom it was meant for. But I intentionally left it open ended so that anyone that tries to make sensitive and outrageous claims as such, will have to know they...

Please refrain from making extraordinary claims if you are not going to be able to support that with concrete evidence and relevant valid sources. Hearsay and rumours have no place here on matters that is important to the core of the REPUBLIC . Either support your claims or delete your such...

There are merits to what you say. However you can not rule out the use of subsonic missiles either. Neither should you call it “silliness”. War is governed by and is a matter of sustainability, skill and managing economics of battlefield. A hypersonic missile like ARRW will cost 15 to 18...

According to TurDef article it is faster than Stinger. quote: SUNGUR is a new generation MANPADS fitted with IIR guidance. The missile was first fired from a BMC VURAN 4x4 tactical wheeled vehicle’s turreted 2x2 launcher. SUNGUR was later tested in shoulder-fired configuration, shooting down a...

2.2+ Mach speed according to below magazine. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/sungur-a-real-4th-generation-manpads-4254#:~:text=I%20think%20that%20the%20SUNGUR,least%203kg%20like%20the%20Stinger.

Well according to the above magazine excerpt, it has a double pulse engine. I would have thought like you and said it wouldn’t need a double pulse and dual thrust would have sufficed. But apparently we have chosen a double pulse engine for our BVR missile.

The Aim120 missiles are all boost+sustain mode (dual thrust) operation missiles. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/weapons-platforms/aim-120/ There was a development work re dual pulse. But if memory serves, it only was planned to be used in Aim 260 which has boost+cruise+boost mode of operation.

Sorry to be a bit pedantic . But this post isn’t very explanatory of Gokdogan as it is contradictory in it self and doesn’t really explain what you are really trying to convey. Gokdogan is a BVR air to air missile specifically produced to replace our Aim120 AMRAAM series. Unlike the Aim120 that...

Apart from the TCG Anadolu, which is in reality a Landing Helicopter Dock and a Naval Assault Ship, any new "full spec carrier" of Turkish Navy, will only be available, post 2035 at best. By then we will have mastered unmanned aircraft building to the letter. Most likely ahead of everyone else...

Everyone please calm down. @Dosirak is asking and pointing out questions that need to be clarified. Please reply amicably to the questions.

As I previously mentioned here, Anka 3 is a flying wing. If you try to go supersonic you need to heavily compromise it's structural integrity by making the wings very thin. From engineering aspect it is just not feasible. A supersonic Anka 4 is either a very different plane with vertical...

Great news that we are turning these cheap artillery rockets in to easily expendable air to ground precision strike guided missiles. There is one more in the range waiting to be incorporated in to the fold: TRG-300 . It has two versions ; one with 180kg explosives, weighing 660kg, another with...

Great news ! Finally a first firing of our first turbofan. Congratulation to all that had a a hand in it. As per Dr Akşit's previous statements, this engine probably has a lot less thrust than the aimed 6000lbf in dry thrust. It will take time to develop it in to a 6000lbf engine that can fly...

This Isn’t necessarily how Levent is but it should give you an idea of how a dual mode seeker innards work. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10539396B1/en
