The first of two reactors built by Framatom/EDF, was installed end of 2024. But the work has slowed down due to cost spiralling up. So relations between UK and France regarding the power station is strained to say the least. Original forecast was 18 billion GBP. It is at over 35billion now. And...

Bro, initial cost estimations with early 2000‘s GPB rates for the upgrade was 500million, and it was with hydraulic catapult and matching arrester wires for which the ship was constructed accordingly. Later it was thought to upgrade it to employ an EMALS. That is when price of 1billion then to...

I agree with the first part of your sentence. But both carriers were built with provisions to operate with CATOBAR should the STOVL system proves to be inefficient. It is almost like FFBNW. The construction of the deck, under deck and overall systems are ready to accept the fitting of a catapult...

GE-CT7-8 series is a more powerful engine. It can develop up to 3000HP. Previously I had mentioned that we could redevelop the T700 engine we are building for our Blackhawks in to this engine as there was a clause in the license agreement to allow that. Where much heavier lift and higher...

We haven’t even started on the MLU of the remainder of our Barbaros Class ships. 1. Optimistically it could be because they want to see if what they have done on TCG Orucreis has improved the ship’s overall performance to a level that would warrant the remainder to be upgraded as well. 2...

Yes İ do. It must be IOS related. Mac OS is not affected.

upgraded new f35 coming. plus twin engined F35 = F55 a new upgraded f22 to come as well all from the mouth of Mr Trump

Yes ! I have the same problem on my I pad here. No problem on my Mac or on my android. It really started after an update.

There is a sword that US is waving above our heads called CAATSA. This is essentially to stop other countries buying from Russia, Iran and North Korea. These 3 countries are the basis of CAATSA. China is not among them. Weirdly CAATSA is applied to countries that US can get its teeth in to...

simple answer to your question is : Yes! Mostly. detailed answer is: At the time when we were producing the TS1400 engine, there were parts that needed to be outsourced. Also there were materials that needed to be outsourced. The top notch, first tier quality materials and parts that were...

I like your optimism. But only recently the TF6000 was delayed more than 6-7 months because of a sale of a simple part being blocked by our so called allies, and had to be made locally. (Dr Aksit‘s words) There are still many parts that depend on foreign input. Many local companies that produce...

You are both missing important points. @Bilge adam reis , 1. TF6000 has already been fired. It has been tested over 100 times. It has been pulled apart and reassembled and fired again. 2. An engine like TF6000, at it’s first firing, would probably give a thrust of 55-65% of aimed final thrust...

Under the agreement, Turkey has full marketing and intellectual rights of the T-129 helicopter. But not of the foreign sourced components of the helicopter like the engines. The transmission was developed and built jointly by Tusas and Leonardo. Turkey probably has full rights over that too. We...

Apart from Attack helicopters becoming natural and easy targets for drones and many air defence systems, T-129 has certain deficiencies that were subject for complaints. Being light and weak armoured were some of them. It had balancing issues. The force really had it’s hearts set in a heavy...

It does sound like that. There could be a change of license agreement. No agreement is written in stone. Even the production of 109 Blackhawks‘ engine license agreement has a clause that we could alter it with approval from GE. I guess the whole point of T629 was to overcome this stumbling...

This issue was discussed here before. T-129 Atak, albeit a Turkish built helicopter, it is a Turco-Italian joint venture project that allows us to produce it under licenses. Italians get their share from each sale of helicopter. Although not confirmed, what makes T-129, as T-129, is the...

Theoretically what you say is correct. But in reality, each engine with a significantly different thrust level will present different peculiarities that will mean it will need to be redeveloped. There are computer programs that will tell you what you need to do when you produce a gas turbine...

You are correct. Kemankes 2 is launched from ground by a speeding vehicle or Rocket Assisted Launch. Corrected accordingly. https://turdef.com/article/kemankes-2-kamikaze-uav-takes-off-with-rockets Speeding vehicle or catapult launch will probably be secondary methods as ROTA launch will give...

Exactly! These platforms should be built around a specific engine. TS3000 can not be based on TS1400. TS1400 has a two stage compressor with a radial airflow. That is the limit of number of compressor stages for a radial airflow engine. TS3000, if ever realised, is going to be an axial...
