    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    I expect an initial production of 2 per month to be scaled up as the new factory matures. I expect all 250 tanks to be delivered in 5-6 years.

    MWIS is short for Mid Wave Infrared System. It is the same thing as the DAS(with a better sensor 640p vs 720p). The picture shows a single camera of the MWIS. It will be placed all around the aircraft and it is also an infrared-based missile warning system on top of being a 360 degree infrared...

    It is not theorized it is one of the requirements. Creating a precise firing solution for a missile with several(3) IRSTs is possible and it is not limited to IIR missiles. You need azimuth, elevation and range data to create a firing solution. A single IRST can only provide the first 2 unless...

    Poor translation. Only V/UHF radio delivery is completed. Regarding BUHSET development studies were carried out. It is another miss translation.

    I am confident that our shipyards will complete delivery of all remaining 7 (3+4) I class frigates in 4 years.

    I told you. Upgrade kits might be delivered earlier but the calendar is problematic. Why should I get any F-16 when there are ongoing Özgür modernization and advanced UCAV projects and we will get the delivery of the first 20 block 10 KAAN in 2028. Half of 2024 passed and no contract signature...

    If it is not operating in man in the loop mode, It either attacks preloaded coordinates or it has ATA( automatic target acquisition) and it will attack a preloaded target on its own. Those systems can recognize MBTs, air defense systems etc, and lock on them.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    Greeks getting the F-35 doesn't make them take full advantage of it. They need to invest in command centers, mission planning, datalinks, training/simulation, maintenance, logistics, data science etc. Turkiye started investing in those from the early 2000s. The US, Israel, Italy, UK and...

    It is indeed EKV and it is nothing new. One has to produce an EKV to develop an MKV. Tubitak SAGE and Roketsan have been developing subsystems and researching base technologies for years. Exoatmospheric interception capability will be introduced after 2028.

    Give it a decade and you will see China has %90+ autarchy in semiconductors from sand/silicon and chemicals to lithography machines, advanced tools, masks, optics, precision measurement devices, and production processes. It is a process and it resembles the snowball effect similar to the...

    Şimşek/Süper Şimşek will be a manace to any foe. I see chaff flare dispensers on the wings for the less stealthy one. Those chaff flare dispenser will probably be able to launch smart RF decoys in addition to chaff and flare. Now think about that this thing will also mimic RCS of a fighter while...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    The initial laser weapon might not be a majestic 150kW laser. It might be a more conservative one but it will be enough to fry the electronics of missiles at longer ranges(5+km) and enough to destroy at short ranges (<5 km) 20 F-35 won't change the tide of war. Block 10 will have Burfis. Even...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Block 30 will have a laser weapon and a serial production variant of the national engine. Block 30 will also have an improved RCS coating (~25db). There will be early availability of the TF6000 engine for Kızılelma and Anka-3 prototypes in 2025. TF6000/10000 serial production is on track for 2026.

    Yeah, the economy is mostly on track now. Inflation is the only problem and it doesn't have a quick and easy solution but I'm confident as long as Erdoğan doesn't stick his nose in economic affairs Mr. Mehmet Şimşek will get it under control in 2-3 years. IMHO we might end this year with %40...

    EIRS is a network-based multistatic radar. EIRS radars synchronize time and frequency values when operating in multistatic mode basically the whole network acts as a single radar. This type of synchronization is an extremely difficult task to achieve. It is inherently different than forming a...

    You lose ~%15 of the thrust with this type of nozzle. It is a trade-off for better stealth. 3D TVC is overkill. 2D is more than enough for good maneuverability.

    I think the president was talking about stand-alone engine bench tests. This news is about the missile ballistic tests. Gökhan will be fired from the ground with an engine and autopilot probably in Q4 this year or in Q1 2025. Flutter and airborne firing tests will probably start sometime in 2025...
