Yakovlev has unveiled a modernised variant of its Yak-130 advanced jet trainer at the Army-2024 forum, to be capable of performing light-attack missions. New Yak-130M will be equipped with a Radar MMS-developed BRLS-130R active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, and carry an expanded...

+1 Good choices in terms of project names, but in terms of marketing, universalizing the name codes of the systems would help to increase awareness and eliminate confusion for those who follow Turkish systems abroad. For DENİZHAN: MKE 76/62 caliber and manufacturer, a description such as...

A vital project that will literally quantum leap our A2AD capacity beyond our territorial waters. When we consider these extra long-range and super sea skimmin heavy warhead missiles with state-of-the-art network-centric warfare capability, the deterrence will be significant. I don't know how...

I would like to see an amphibious brigade established in the Eastern Black Sea region. Thus, there will be an amphibious brigade headquarters in every sea in our country. Also, I would like to see major naval base in Sürmene. Current sitiution in harbour mostly idle, whole area can be allocated...

The amphibious force organization we have been waiting for years is finally coming to fruition? I guess now we can finally see the Amphibious Armored and mechanized brigades. IMO, the appointment of rear admiral Serhat Sözbir, our last Amphibious Task Group Commander(The Amphibious Marine...

Libya's largest oil field, El Sharara, was shut down by order of Khalifa Haftar. While this move created great uncertainty in the global oil market, Spain's decision to extract oil sparked this crisis. El Sharara, the largest oil field in North Africa, located in southwestern Libya, was shut...

Haftar's marauders are massing heavy military buildup in Al-Shuwerf area. GNU is trying to put in place some emergency measures. This shows that Haftar is about to embark on a new adventure. Whether there will be an rerun that will destroy the peace process to the extent of forcing a direct...

Probably. Since it is said that there will be combat systems on, it does not seem to be a large enough contract for a frigate in that purpose. For the very same reason, also conclude that it is not a patrol boat either. A high-speed and relatively low tonnage combatant ship class seems to be...

The Levant, stretching from the occupied Palestinian territories to Syria, and Egypt are home to far more people of Turkish origin than thought. The problem is that the cultural link has been completely severed by assimilation and is still a taboo to talk in these countries. However, there are...

https://www.huffingtonpost.es/sociedad/turquia-sale-rescate-caza-chatarra-espana.html It is unclear how the deal will be finalized and what the delivery schedules will be, but what we do know is that Spain wants to hand over a total of 10 A400Ms to another country air force, without taking...

I think the TF35K would be too heavyweight for the fuselage of this variant of the KE. But the idea of a fighter drone with a 35K turbofan sounds very sexy. lol. If only.

I think you quoted the wrong message. I have the opinion that if experimental studies are going to be carried out with existing projects, it should be in the opposite direction, not to make drones manned. For example, the airframe developed within the scope of the Hürjet (and even Hurkuş)...

The KE's front fusalage, the part where the canopy is located in traditional fighter jets, has been considerably enlarged in volume. As can be seen from different perspectives, it has not only been raised vertically, but also expanded horizontally. I will leave the aerodynamic implications to...

Many thanks to Kaan Azman for the visualization of the 'homemade' light fighter jet. I still believe that if a suitable engine solution can be created, a possible naval/LCA variant of this platform could potentially attract a very significant number of air forces, including the Turkish air force.

A memory of Japan from the TCG Kınalıada, which is making port visits to the capital Tokyo and Hiroshima for the 100th anniversary of Turkiye-Japan relations and the commemoration of the martyrs of the Ertuğrul Frigate. Probably one of her best photos.

This is why the twin-engine ANKA-X (I don't know if it is called 4 or 3 block B) is a critical turning point. What kind of doctrine will be served by afterburner engines capable of cruising at supersonic speeds for relatively long periods of time is one of the issues we have not yet discussed...

In my humble opinion, the current KE prototype is more of a technological level demonstration and a stepping stone to the desired destination. Of course, it will be mass-produced and has the potential to enter the service of many forces, but if you ask me, Baykar's Kızılelma journey is to reach...

I think it's not just about diversifying the sources of mid-range turbofan engines. It is more about Baykar's corporate transformation. Does Lockheed only design fighter jets? As is clear, Baykar is expanding its field of activity. In other words, it is transforming from a niche aerospace...

One of the new navigation signal type introduced with the Block III GPS are a protocol called M-Code, which is designed for direct military use and warzone conditions. It is designed to further enhance the high anti-jamming capability and secure access of military GPS signals. This signal is...
