ERALP is an S band radar. It has a 450km+ detection range against a 1m² RCS target in S-band and if we do a rough calculation it will have a 110km+ (119.68km) range against a target with a 0.005m² RCS target. What is the RCS of the F-35 in the S-band? This is the 1 million dollar question. F-35...

Well, I told you. The new admin is doing good but the average Joe will feel some difficulties after local elections. Simsek is gearing up to cut the money supply after local elections. Expect inflation to come down as a result of cutting the money supply. There will be a price to be paid by the...

Heat resistance is important but resistance to creep and inertia forces is equally important if not more. One company can have a superalloy that can withstand 1500 C but is only good for 10000 RPM while the other company can have a superalloy that can withstand 1300 C but can do 25000...

Instead of designing it optionally manned i would rather go for an unmanned version by removing the cockpit and life support systems.

That 15k-ton hydraulic press is for forging turbine disks. Bulkhead will be produced by 3D printer and production rate is not a problem TAI won't be producing thousands of Kaans in a year.

Eurofighter will still have a role to play in the future just like F-15 has a role to play. Widespread use of 5th gen in big numbers will take at least a decade; a strong platform with a big carry capacity will always be needed, like the F-15. We can use Eurofighters in a similar role to today's...

Milkar-3A3 V/UHF band Milkar-4A2 HF band Those two cover different bands of the EM spectrum.

Mark my words Germany will come crawling on the Eurofighter issue. UK, İtaly and Spain are gearing up to kick out Germany from the Eurofighter consortium. There is news that the UK threatened Germany that the UK companies might be forced to produce German parts of Eurofighter if Germany...

The process that starts from the engine right through to shutting it off again is known as a cycle, and over the engine’s lifetime there are only a finite number of cycles before something cracks or breaks. The conventional methodology for measuring this lifespan which many engine manufacturers...

It is to combat inflation and show the market that CB won't give an inch at all costs. IMHO %45 is the sweet spot. I don't think CB will stop the interest rate increase before seeing any meaningful improvement in the 1-year forward rate.

That is not a good comparison. Those engines are designed with the tech of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. TF35 is in design with the tech of 2020. This is not true. TEI can manufacture any engine with its current machine shop capabilities.

1 million $ is a very competitive export price for a system like Aselflir-500. Most countries can't even get an export license from Western countries for a laser designator with a power output similar to that of Aselflir-500. Customers will get a camera with better image performance, a...

Karaok showed excellent performance in tests. It has up to 2.5km in top attack mode and a 4km ballistic flight range. Interest in Karaok is really high. Multiple contracts already signed or in the signing process.

Turkiye will smash defense export records in the coming years. Exports will surpass 10 billion really soon.

Aselflir-500 serial production will start in February 2024. I expect an initial production rate of 8 per month probably doubled to 16 after some time. The Aselflir-500 project moved really smoothly thanks to experiences gained from the CATS project.

The new economy admin is doing well. I expect the rate increase to stop at %45.

Possible TF6k TF10k timeline. The first ignition of TF6k: by the end of this year or Q1 next year. The first ignition of TF10k: by the end of next year or Q1 2025. (it might be quicker as I'm suspicious that they are designing both in parallel and those 2 are only 6 months apart) The first...

Erdogan will try everything not to respect the reelection limit. Unfortunately, this will also block people like Selçuk Bayraktar.

Commander of the Naval Forces Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu: "We aim to get delivery of the TB3 by the end of this year".

Processing the gas is the current bottleneck of the Blacksea gas project. Current land facilities are enough for 10 million cubic meters per day. TPAO is drilling wells fast and soon TPAO will reach 10 million per day. We need to quadruple processing capacity but it will take time. This ship...
