    Lol the US has more to lose in that bargain. There is an economic and later will be a military fight between the US and China that will decide who will be the top dog. Can the US win that fight by turning Turkiye into an enemy? EU has done nothing against Russia and surely has no appetite to...

    Nothing. The thing has top secrecy. In Turkiye, if one thing has secrecy there is something to hide. I think we found something but don't want to announce it. I'm suspicious that all this making friends with Greece is related to this.

    Yeah MPAC is a bad design. It is a fucking light Corvette not a FAC. I would rather get a 1000-1300 ton light corvette than MPAC those two vessels will have comparable speed the latter will carry more equipment including USVs and will have more endurance and will be operational at higher sea...

    That is because the geography is rocky mountains. It has nothing to do with drilling depth. 3,130m is an easy play for onshore drilling. We are drilling further down offshore and it is still lucrative.

    ÇFAKR can guide 10 missiles (can create 10 guidance beams) simultaneously to different targets at 150km. ÇFAKR can guide missiles up to "x" km on a single target or if targets are nearby in a tight formation with a single high-power beam. Of course, it can create 2,3 beams, etc that can still...

    I think we should make a low-cost medium/long-range air defense system based on the Hisar-O+ system. The same Hisar-O+ truck-based missile launcher. AIR S-band AESA medium-range surveillance radar replacing Kalkan II (200+km range) Akrep illumination radar instead of ÇFAKR X-band AESA...

    It seems like first serial production delivery will be made in Q1 2026. Delivery for the first optional system will be made in Q1 2027. The ranges are given as 100km for the product 1 and 150km for the product 2. Altitudes are given as 20km (65k feet) and 30km (98k feet). The tracking range of...

    This is an amendment to the existing Hisar serial production contract for the inclusion of Siper batteries.

    IMHO this looks like 4 Siper batteries. 582/4 Aselsan's workshare per battery stands at 145,5 million euros if we add 36 missiles per battery total cost per battery might be around 200 million euros for the Turkish Armed forces use.

    SSB signed a huge Siper contract today. The total worth of Aselsan's workshare is 582.615.995 Euros (428.538.878,16 Euro and 4.884.244.675 TL) .

    For the existing systems, you are right. Siper won't be as good as American Patriot in time it will catch Patriot but for the emerging systems like UAVs, the competition is real.

    Well, we did but we have access to NATO libraries/resources/training, a long history of operating submarines, various torpedoes and sonars, creating and updating sound signal profiles, mission files for underwater warfare. We also have a substantial background in electronic warfare. Jamming and...

    It depends. Jet might not see the drone as a big threat and might want to utilize its autocannon. Greeks want to deploy trainer aircraft with propellers and jet engines to counter our drones. A TB2 armed with air-launched Sungur or a TB3 armed with Levent can be deadly against them.

    Creating a torpedo countermeasure from scratch is a hard task. Submarine warfare is a top-secret area. Sure Taiwan might come up with something but I doubt it will perform similarly.

    My educated guess is that F-35s stealth coating lowers the RCS of F-35 -20 decibels ( multiply the RCS with 0.01m²) at the X band and -10 decibels ( multiply the RCS with 0.1m²) in the S-band which means F-35s RCS in the S-band is roughly 0.01m².

    Yes, that is what I meant. F-35 can't be as good in S-band because of how physics works, but it should still be a stealth aircraft. I wouldn't be surprised if ERALP picks an F-35 at 150km. And there is this thing with maintenance. F-35 needs heavy maintenance to be operated at the advertised...

    Yalman launcher with 4x UMTAS can be added later. It is a simple modification.
