Ground effect on wings allow aerial vehicles fly very efficiently when they are close to surface. But the plane needs to be as close to surface as technically possible. (Closer than the distance of a one wing span; most apparent effect is observed at less than half of one wing span.) To take...

Tayfun and CENK. Two hypersonic missiles that are amongst the most potent weapons of Turkish attack missile armoury. To hope for anti ship capability seems to be wishful thinking at this stage. I was also hopeful that these missiles would at least have anti ship capable versions. That would...

Thorium reactors can be designed to use thorium as fuel. In this format it is no different than Uranium fuelled reactor. Because Thorium 232 is transformed in to Uranium 233 with an addition of a neutron. But it can be set up to use molten Thorium salt as coolant as well as fuel. As we have...

That is a possibility. But if memory serves TB3 should have satellite communication capability. So as long as it can communicate with our satellites it can go 1000km and more (given max operational range is 1000nautical miles). But it has to be remembered that TB3 is not for force projection and...

This bird has a “stated” maximum payload capacity of 280kg. The day we can fit an Orka torpedo (220kg) under it’s belly or a CAKIR AShM (275kg without booster) , will be the day when this UCAV is going to be a monster advantage for the TCG Anadolu. Especially if it can can be fitted and take...

That is a very short sighted and demeaning view. You need to elaborate on such an aggressive statement. For China, every country is important. They are trying to establish themselves in a world where the dominant force is USA and it’s allies. Majority of students in best western universities...

C130H is the legacy platform model that has been in service many years. Knowing how US would use them, they must be at the end of their lives. Most likely will be replaced by more efficient, modern avionics fitted and cost effective C130J models. Purchase of 12 or so C130Js from RAF is a better...

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/iran-suspends-cooperation-iaea-nuclear-watchdog-khamenei-rcna215169 Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei has issued a prerecorded message claiming victory over Israel. quote: claiming in a televised speech that his country had secured a victory over Israel and...

First of all you can not tell me that I am disrespecting any member. I am not. I don’t need to agree with what you write. Especially when it is illogical and petty. Quote Sea state conditions for a ship can be determined through a combination of visual observations by experienced personnel...

Sea State conditions are assessed by an experienced and trained marine observer via actually measuring and by using instruments like electronic weather buoys to measure wave height and wave radar or remote sensing satellites that can assess wave height as well as degree of spray which...

When the tests are carried out whereby TB3 lands automatically on to a wobbly TCG Anadolu with some side winds, then we will be more confident about safe landing. All 115+ tests have been carried out on a ship that is really steady. One need to consider the fact that even a 100thousand ton US...

They were ready to provide TOT and produce an engine together with Kale through the company they formed as a JV called TAEC , to propel KAAN. But they would not relinquish their IP rights to us. They were ready to allow for engines and any planes that were powered by them to be sold freely to...

They use totally different electronic structures in spite of the fact that they are essentially both using DRFM based technology. In the EHPOD, jamming and deception of enemy radar and detection systems is a form of electronic countermeasures (ECMs) that intentionally sends out radio frequency...

EHPOD is the POD used to jam enemy radars and any missiles’ electronic systems. EDPOD is the POD to let the plane know where enemy radars and electronic warfare systems are. The current aerial warfare has evolved. It is more important to have up to date electronic systems than an up to date...

We need to get realistic and crawl before we start to run. We don’t even have a working TF6000/10000 to fly Anka-3. (We may use TF10000, the afterburner version of TF6000 to give better take off capability to the plane when with more payload. And forego AB during flight as it would be...

I never had to use it. As a mod and administrator I shouldn’t anyway!

TEI had licence to produce 248 engines between the 2020 to 2025 time period. quote: In the serial production phase which is expected to launch between 2020 and 2025, a total of 248 T700-TEI-701D engines (236 committed and 12 optional) will be produced. Within the program the objective is also...

As per @TR_123456 and yourself has pointed out, “to delay” Türkiye’s progress. They also know that we need them more than they need us. We have a very fragile economy. And we have two demagogues that can topple it upside down easily; one in house another as a blonde American in the States.. We...

Bro, you have few things wrong in the way you look at things. You don’t read the content in its entirety. But you are more interested in finding mistakes in what people post. If you read the content of the whole post in detail, you would have realised that the bottom article is very relevant to...
