If we look at the Levent Missile carefully, the two sets of canards it has puts it in a different category of missile we have produced until today. The front canards after swinging open are actually stationary and do not move. These are fixed while the second set can move to give directional...

I don’t think I was being optimistic in my post as the operative word there is freely . Don’t underestimate financial deals Turkey can muster and pull out of the bag when push comes to shove. We were prepared to do a similar deal with Pakistani T-129 sale, had it not been hampered by the US due...

T-50 jets sold to S Korean armed forces have a price tag of around 40-45 million dollar a piece. But the Polish are paying 2.3 billion for 36 T-50 planes . So export cost , probably including ammo and parts etc is around 80-85 million a piece. Hurjet, when ready for export in both armed and...

This is a very important piece of hardware news. Another US/Germany reliant weapon system bites the dust for Turkish Armed Forces. There were rumours last year that our Ada class corvettes were sailing with some of their RAM canisters empty because US were refusing sale of replacement missiles...

As long as Turkey assumes, the roll of USA in JSF , in KAAN project with multiple so called “partners” , whereby the main reins/strings are in our hands, more the merrier. This is an expensive endeavour we are undertaking. To make it worth it‘s while will need partners.

Exactly! He is a political analyst who jumps on any good piece of news that can damage the other/opposite political side, without actually investigating, and without truly knowing the ins and outs of the subject he is talking about. Instead of sticking to what he does best as a political...

Quote: Stage two of the first phase is now under way, the challenging timelines so far having been facilitated through the use of a ‘digital twin’, using the Dassault Systemes’ 3DExperience product lifecycle management (PLM) platform. Unquote. This has been the extent of the Dassault input to...

Today is a day to be proud, for all us Turks. Finally our big bird took to the skies. Now the real race starts. We need this bird to go through all those tests that lie ahead with flying colours and in a time like yesterday.

Although you may have a valid point , please don’t discard the fact that Sea harriers have a weapons payload of max 3600kg. And they performed extremely well as a light attack naval aircraft in various instances; one of which was in Falklands. So don’t under estimate a Hurjet with a 3 ton...

Apart from one word (stealth) I agree with your comment. I can’t see KAAN becoming a naval asset. It is just too complicated, expensive and big to be navalised. We need to walk before we run. May be after Hurjet is adapted in to a naval form at a later date a version of KAAN may be inducted to...

Beka means "survivability". That missile looks like Cenk missile. That is probably a media orientated introductory newspiece picture of Cenk missile. Cenk missile is supposedly 1000+ km range MRBM. A first officially stated medium range ballistic missile produced by Turkey.

KAAN is still a work in progress that hasn't even flown yet. After that, it still has to go through thousands of tests, integration of electronics, sensors, radars, avionics. There will be 14 prototypes built to carry out these tests. After this there will be a process of indigenous engine...

The TS1400 is a radial flow turboshaft engine. Radial flow engines best work with single stage compressors; and are limited to maximum two stage compressors. The TS1400 is at this limit. There isn't much room for attaining any more meaningful power from this engine. The T700TEI701D engine that...

Every now and then our members are mentioning Anka-4. We know of Anka-3 being a flying wing. Can you or anyone else enlighten us what Anka-4 is please?

With all due respect, according to the limited information released on this missile : Quote: Fatah-II seems to be a two-round G-MLRS, based on the video released by Pakistan's military media wing. The rocket is “equipped with ... Unquote. In other words two-round Guided Multiple Launch Rocket...
