The problems with bullpups that i know: triggers linking mechanism usually gives a bad experience because it is not like a native bullpup, its just an old school mechanism like ak or ar being carried backward and stock removed sort of weirdness. The other problem is often difficulty of...

Well the ocean navies prefer larger ships in general, that can go longer distances without support. If the attention is particularly shifting towards asia pacific area, it makes more sense that ships are getting even bigger. These ships won't directly protect Netherlands, they will escort US led...

Most important features of a 5th gen engine are probably increased fuel efficiency and the overall electricity generation compared to older designs besides the cooling.

But toygun is trying to spread the stuff in a wide shape with that mirror for stealth shape + like F35 that has its mirror rotate all the time it probably use advanced image processing to stitch images and do other stuff to create a total sensor fusion map of everywhere it travels

That will make a nice museum piece after tests are done. Looking real sleek. They will likely remove the engines and use it elsewhere afterwards

The new legislation being talked about for additional funding of defence spendings also kind of confirms this, it means a sudden new purchase is around

We don't "have" göksur and levent yet. Time is money, gentlemen

We don't have the upper hand and timing is critical right now, I think pushing our luck too much with the F16 deal is not a strategically sound move.

To be fair the Somalia operation is more likely to hurt Libya operations than mainland defense. Air defense provided by 2x Gabya class is nothing when you consider size of Turkey.

Stealth increases the cost very significantly, both initially and for maintenance. Trainers are optimized for their original purpose.

Problem is none of the alternatives are going to be here by the time we need them, nor any of the products we are building will be available in sufficient numbers and operating capacity in the time they advertise. Honestly, we'd probably have better luck if we bought like 40 JF-17 with...

Honestly, German politicians are such bootlickers of US and haters of Turks that it may be less dangerous to depend directly on US rather than depend Germany AND US for Eurofighter

Glad he didn't leave defence. It might even be better that he is now in private sector and has more freedom. Tubitak may have been the wrong type of institution to leverage his skills despite delivering great products. Who knows maybe in time assan can grow to rival the munition segment of other...

I think thats how it was mentioned, 32x strike length vls for 16x gezgin/ atmaca and 16x quadpack hisar ( strike length seems to be necessary for quadpack, with possible all 7 of remaining istif having strike length midlas as we seen from F516 model) and 64 for larger siper missiles

Don't some of the anti ballistic missiles have a pif paf seeker at the tip that separates from missile at final stage? SM-2/3/6 all use some common components like that if I remember correctly Actually it might be arrow 3 i am mistaking

It's not enough to fit the missile, you need to have room for exhaust fumes and their exit.

Kargı, in response to brave janissary

Murad on JF17 would be nice one day

Well if somebody had done their job and finished the loitering, rocket launched munitions maybe we would have added them

But it means the funding is there and such at least, doesn't it? Like it's at least a commitment
