    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Actually I tried to hint out the main landing gear (mlg) they chose for the plane Regarding this probabiliTy. It highly resembles the F14’s mlg design which is a strong, rugged one that would endure CV operations. Therefore, I assumed that TAI already designed the plane carrier operations in...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Was gonna ask the same question myself (y) While T50 and T7 designed on center lined main landing gears similar to F16 and old F104, on Hurjet they preferred the main landing gears beneath the wing roots. The only main gain I can think of is Hurjet’s prospective ability to carry centerline...

    Are the Trillion Energy partners with TPAO or did we just outsourced the drill part to them? Because the piece says a revenue starting in the first week of February

    Yeah. Mr. Akbaba’s tweet says SIHA, meaning UCAV. Or maybe it just slipped him while he was tweeting.

    If we‘re planning to evolve our operational capabilities into an open sea navy wrt Blue Homeland doctrine on top of homeland shore’s protection, then possessing such vessels should only come natural. So, yeah let’s go for HMS Scott since it’s available

    What I understand from your post is that you’re basically suggesting that we should focus more on naval platforms and capabilities which TN lacks of, instead of wasting our resources and time on Type23. Question: Would RN even consider selling such a strategic component of force when it has...

    I did some scanning over the file, and as far as I can tell, there’s really nothing there that hasn’t been been shared and brainstormed here many times. If you still want to, you can download the file.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    So, I believe we’re on the same page here where this “new“ M60 will/might fill the role of adequately armored mobile and faster firepower vehicle supporting infantry, rather than put out for a showdown against enemy MBTs. Kind of reminds me interwar British armor doctrine of two types of tanks...

    Not only it would “violate” the ears of crews, but also a very well known fact that it‘s (the turbine engine) extremely expensive to maintain and close to impossible to repair on the field.

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Alright. Dare I make the assumption that TAF will pick up a new trend that would lead a new doctrine, if you will, which is likely composed of, say, a mechanized infantry supported by this relatively mobile and more armored fire power (modernized M 60) element dashing though enemy lines? If...

    Is this a fact (because I’ve never heard of such a deal with Azerbaijan) or are you just suggesting a future proposal?

    Guys we need to keep our cool. You surely must realize that those are provocateurs who cheap agitate Turkish people by hitting their soft spot. Their access to NATO will only be achieved when they only satisfy Turkey’s rightful security concerns. They know they’re desperate and no other NATO...

    What a great find. Turkey most probably with a push from the military, considered an atomic weapon capability gain. It seems that the scientific community was being pushed really hard by the military to the breaking point. And finally, the “reliable source” gave in. The motivation behind such...

    We have seen this happening repeatedly in recent decades. Thanks to its neutered diplomatic corpse by its own government, Turkey is coming to every negotiation table with the zero sum approach which is unacceptable in diplomacy. And we all know the score. You can not demand everything from...

    TR Sensors and Detector Programs

    You see, that’s where my confusion begins. When a radar is active, it sends electromagnetic waves and anti-radiation missiles hunt on those waves, right. So, a harm missile should track it and kill the radar. Since it actively emits EM waves and anti radiation missile locks on it, it leaves a...
