Your guess is as good as mine. Even US is finding it difficult to capture them. As they are not fully submerged but semi submerged, they are difficult to see on a ship’s radar. They must be noisy and should give off enough noise to be noticed. But even then only 15% of all narco subs are being...

It can take certain responsibilities of T-70. Already Turkish Gendarmery units are being delivered with Gokbey, configured for military use. It is smaller and with less weight. But you don’t always need a T-70 to perform some duties. That is why I wrote T-625 Gokbey and T-925 Heavy utility...

T70 Blackhawk helicopters are finally being delivered to their respective customers. When the license agreement was first signed there were going to be 109 units produced by Tusas for TSK and interior ministry plus a quantity for Forestry Ministry. Plus for every T70 Turkey purchased one T70...

If you listen to him carefully he is saying “now look, this is a cruise missile” Not an a2a missile. But a cruise missile. Besides, what they are discussing is the opening of the internal weapon bay doors of the TFX, over a very old computer generated animation mock up. You can’t really take...

The equipment used in an-apg83 radar has a signal range of 370km. But there is also the detection range of target (knowing what your target is and where it is.) This detection range , according to below site is 65 nautical miles (120km)...

I don’t want to waste time on a 40 minute tvshow to find what this guy says. (You should have given a specific time slot to watch.) It doesn’t really matter what he says. SSB is the official mouthpiece for defence industry and as far as I know there hasn’t been an announcement about a 5mach a2a...

Yes it will have a ramjet engine. But Ramjets don’t perform well over 4Mach. They are at their most efficient mode around 2.5-3.5 Mach. They could fly at 5 Mach. But would use too much fuel. After 5 Mach it is better to use scramjets. As this missile is going to be used against targets at...

As mentioned, they are not copies. But alternatives. Turkey uses US built platforms like ships and planes and avionics that are geared for using US weapons. Best way to integrate a Turkish Gokdogan to an f16, is to build it like an amraam aim120 and let the plane recognise it as an aim120. HKG...

There is no Mach-5 a2a development information that has been released by our SSB. As far as a2a missiles go, one of the fastest ones in development is the AIM-260 JATM which will most probably use a dual pulse rocket engine to propel the missile to the expected speed of 5 Mach. It needs this...

My mistake about MTOW of TB3. As you say it is 1450kg. But the plane is under 1200kg when empty as it will have a payload capacity of 280kg. During landing it will most likely have dispensed with a good deal of it’s fuel as well as most of it’s payload. It is a common practice to jettison...

I really hope that the TB3 can land on TCG Anadolu without assistance. It would be a fantastic first for us and for this ship as well. MQ9B is a 12500lb (5670kg) weight UAV. And needs at least 1000m long runway. MQ9B-STOL version is a streamlined one with 7000lb (3170kg) weight and needing just...

I am afraid I don’t agree with this statement. The reason we have this forum is because there are people here that need to know. The whole idea of forums like this being there is for discussing matters like this and drawing solutions to problems that we have in our minds. That is why you are a...

Nice Infograph and video. But do we know the length of runway needed to stop a 1.2 ton UAV and the stall speed at which the TB3 has to be over while landing? And how long a runway is needed to achieve this? Then again when landing if TB3 discards excess fuel and ammunition, then the weight to be...

Please get your historical facts right before making false claims. They did NOT vote against Algerian independence. The situation was in the international scene between 1952 and 1962. In 1952 Turkey was trying to join NATO whereby France was a founder member. Soviets were claiming parts of...

From what is written in Turkish press and what Baykar is insinuating, they intend to land this UAV under it’s own power. There is a runway that is well under 200m in length. (The ship is 232 metres in length. There is a recess at the back and a big lift area that needs to be kept clear of)...
