There's nothing that can't be improved, and there's certainly room for 600 -700 km/h with the turboprobs.

I see it the same way, the Hürküs definitely makes sense as a trainer, but as a combat aircraft with human pilots it makes no sense at all and would be too dangerous. If anything, it makes sense as a combat drone. As well as the Hürküs (as a drone) and Kizilelma are or would generally not be...

Serious question: what's wrong with modifying Hürküs as a drone version? Remove the entire cockpit and install drone hardware + SATCOM. This could save weight and even install an additional fuel tank inside, which would certainly make 6-8 hours of flight time possible for combat missions. As it...

But we won't be able to sell military versions of Hürküs or Hürjets to other countries if the engines are from Pratt & Whitney, General Electric or Eurojet. You could possibly get around this by unofficially setting up a defence company in a foreign country somewhere in Africa, e.g. South...

What about the Engine? We should be able to produce turboprop engines without any problems by now. As far as I know, the one from Hürkus is from Pratt & Whitney, so it would make sense to switch to domestic engines here too in order to reduce the production price and increase the profit margin...

It's not really about ethnicity, we should also stop making these people worse than they are. It is not a reproach to anyone. But it is a fact that almost all peoples were defeated in modern times, in this case in the early 20th century. Morocco = colonial country France / Spain Algeria =...

Hell is more likely to freeze over.... I'm not saying that Japan is totally racist and totally xenophobic, but they like to keep to themselves. I was once in Japan myself (vacation), a beautiful country with a very rich culture and friendly people really, but very distant towards foreigners...

You can arrest anyone and make anyone disappear, even Israeli citizens in Turkey or elsewhere. Everything just has to be undercover, nothing more, and you have to deny wherever possible that you have anything to do with it as a state/country. The USA, Russia, China and Europe have been doing...

How accurate is that? I mean, GPS, Galileo and GLONASS were deliberately not added because these navigation options could be directly blocked overnight by the arbitrariness of the countries that control these systems.

Even more frightening is that these Arabs don't even have the self-esteem to avoid being hired. I'm not a racist, but I'm starting to get the feeling that Arabs will immediately abandon or partially betray their country at the slightest warlike pressure. Look at Turkey for comparison, it has...

I wonder what kind of navigation system is used. One thing is already clear INS is definitely included, possibly an optical 3D terrain scan? This would then have to be compared with internally stored data, e.g. a map for course corrections on re-entry into the earth. But then the rocket would...

Wasn't there talk of Tayfun achieving between 800 and 1000 kilometers? And Cenk should reach between 2000 and 3000 kilometers as an MRBM?

We urgently need a small V/STOL MALE Drone that is foldable with a small AESA radar, and a payload of 100 - 200 kg with a runtime of 10-12 hours and a SATCOM connection. This could be used to equip Corvettes, Destroyers, e.g. 2-4 units in addition to the Helicopters. This would give an enormous...

Exactly, unfortunately pilots don't grow on trees, they are a limited resource. It would be a shame if a Hürküs C with 2 experienced pilots could be shot down by a Stinger or another modern mobile air defense system because it wasn't high enough. I can well imagine that terrorists and pirates...

You're right, the costs are around 20 -25 million dollars/euros per unit. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/bomba-haber-tusasta-hurkus-kalmadi/#:~:text=Genel%20M%C3%BCd%C3%BCr%C3%BC%20Prof.-,Dr.,50%20milyon%20euro%20oldu%C4%9Funu%20a%C3%A7%C4%B1klam%C4%B1%C5%9Ft%C4%B1. In hindsight, however, I...

I still don't understand the armed version of Hürküs. The cost of an aircraft of this type is probably 40 - 50 million US dollars. The Aircraft as a Trainer makes sense for training, but as a combat aircraft these things make absolutely no sense. The cost = benefit factor is not obvious to me...

The important thing is that full ownership of the engine belongs entirely to Turkey. And that all components in the engine can easily be manufactured in-house without being tied to a supplier from abroad. Without that, you don't even need to sit down at the table. The second condition should be...

That is a dangerous view, the Americans themselves are not to blame for the misery. It is their government that cannot be changed. There are only two major parties, the Democrats and Republicans, and both are largely controlled by the military-industrial complex, which is what US foreign policy...

What I generally don't understand is how it is that the USA denies us all military goods and technologies. But in this case helping us out, that somehow makes no sense when you analyze their previous steps. I have a theory, but of course it can be very far-fetched, and is of course total...

They did get something to eat, but as tube food like the astronauts. They probably wore diapers to go to the toilet, but it certainly wasn't cool 😂.
