I stand corrected for the Rafale. Thanks. You have more or less corroborated my views about the KAAN.

Committed to purchase yes. So had we!! From a country with proven track record of manufacturing the best planes. I would love to be proven wrong. This is too god to be true. Unless 1. We are not told what we are giving in return 2. The narrative is a bit lacking about the contract details...

You can not sell a fighter plane when it is not ready. It is not credible and logical for a country to buy a fighter jet when it is still being developed. Kaan still needs extensive tests and is no where near ready as a fighter. It’s avionics, radar and structure still needs many improvements...

Radial flow turboprops are only good if you are using them for low rate loading. When you need high load handling and require high thrust , then axial flow turboprop is the way. If we look at a PT6 engine lay out, it is very different to our TS1400. There is a 4th compressor that is radial...

Bro, I know the image is not yours. But I would like to add and comment on few of those engines and planes: 1. Akinci TP1400 engine is non existent. Yes TS1400 can be developed in to a turboprop engine. However they are not common place. Almost all good turboprops are axial flow. This is...

I don’t know how you got the value of 271kg of fuel usage per hour. That is very low. If true that is great. Because according to Kale’s own site this engine uses 1.18 kg of fuel per decaNewton thrust. As it has 320 deca newton of total thrust it should use 377kg of fuel per hour. That includes...

KTJ3200 engine has a service life of 17 hours. So if fuel is available the engine can go a distance of over 15000km. This engine has a SFC of 1.18 kg/hr per deca newton. It also has a thrust level of 3200Newtons. Although not officially given for SOM, missiles of similar caliber to SOM have fuel...

Hypersonic Glide Vehicle travels at hypersonic speeds during most of its flight. Especially during its mid course flight. But as it enters denser atmospheric layers it will lose speed. At terminal phase it will most likely be at supersonic speeds. Depending on its aerodynamic structure and...

HGVs are heavy. You are looking at minimum 600kg to 2+ tons of gliding bombs. Avantgarde is 2000kg. They are looking at lowering it to 800kg. It is released just over 100km altitude .You need multiple of these being launched to have real effect. The missiles that will launch and release these is...

That is a very relevant question. It was actually insinuated by the SSB president and Roketsan MD in an interview that the hypersonic speeds achieved at the edge of atmosphere by ballistic missiles and Delta-V are related. As mentioned in below article: quote In response to Türkiye's growing...

How confident and justifiable our Airforce brass would be in sending manned aircraft to virtually a suicide mission? With current manpads and drones proliferation levels available to even the simplest terror groups today, anyone with a logical mind should think twice before putting the pilots in...

I don’t know why we are wasting money on these. 17000feet =5,181.6 metres altitude. 0.35mach speed at 3km range. A simple missile like our Sungur or similar will hit these planes well before they can launch these munitions. If you haven’t got air dominance and not cleared target ground from...

https://www.thyssenkrupp-marinesystems.com/en/teaser/the-submarine-revolution--lithium-ion-battery-system-for-a-better-performance A good article about why Lithium batteries are better choice for diesel powered submarines. Japanese naval top brass have already listened to their submarine...

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/india-and-pakistan-are-sending-turkish-and-israeli-drones-to-war Turkish TB2 and Aknci drones were present in Pakistan-India war recently. A lot of bad publicity is coming from Indian generated media about them. But are there any impartial evaluation about...

Do we really need EU to help us militarily when we are already a NATO member? But it seems that EU needs Türkiye militarily more than Türkiye needs EU. So as our saying goes: If you enter a Hamam (Turkish Bath) you will sweat. If EU needs us then they have to treat us with member privileges...

Bro, In true sense of the word the raw materials would be the “constituents” of a finished article. If S Koreans provided the silicone and/or boron carbide materials to be sandwiched in Roketsan facilities then they can be called raw materials too. Since these materials may have to be shaped...

As per this tweet, Roketsan finally came clean and clarified the situation. quote: ALTAY tanks equipped with new generation armour developed and produced by ROKETSAN Ballistic Protection Center (BKM) will be delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces. ROKETSAN, which sourced some raw materials from...
