    Yeah they are nothing new. The problem was feeding and cooling them as mobile ground radars have SWaP concerns. Also, 10000 30W modules will provide better capability(like resolution) than 3000 100W modules even though both will have the same output. On the con side, more modules means higher...

    Kürecik is X band. ALP-500G is S band. ALP-500G will have ~10000 modules I expect a peak output of 3MW to 10MW depending on what kind of modules will be used (30W modules vs 100W modules I heard these 2). The radar will have its own facility/building with huge cooling and power delivery systems.

    Baykar wants to produce turbofan engines for their own products there are reasons for that. They won't compete with TEI and they can't. Baykar might be sanctioned in the future which means Baykar might lose access to TEI engines. Baykar is also afraid of government change. It can effect their...

    This is such a wrong take that I don't know where to start. You just can't use average Alibaba IR cameras as an IRST. You can't use 1$ electric motors for precision tracking and stabilization. FLIRs cost 1 million $ and there are good reasons for it.

    Interesting words from Haluk Bayraktar. According to him, Baykar is developing a turbofan engine that will be ready for serial production in 5 years. Some people say he talks about TF-6000 but the schedule is too long for TF-6000.

    There are reports that Houthis hit the USS Eisenhower. Allegedly the USS Eisenhower is damaged and moving to a Saudi port on its own.

    Iran does this to create problems between Azerbaijan and Turkiye. It is a well-known scheme by Turkish authorities. Iranians use Hudapar and some elements inside Saadet/Yeniden Refah Party. This is not something new.

    Every circle will have at least 2 better 3 sensors to achieve healthy triangulation inside the circle and circles will probably intersect each other to some degree so 3906x3= 11718 sensors will be needed. Now you need to combine this into a network you need a huge data transfer capability and...

    This has a short range. It is impossible to cover all of Turkiye with this. Critical facilities might be covered with this kind of sensor. If a radar is shown as a circle on a map this is shown as a dot. How many dots do you need to fill a circle? What happens when the weather is bad?

    I expect an initial production of 2 per month to be scaled up as the new factory matures. I expect all 250 tanks to be delivered in 5-6 years.

    MWIS is short for Mid Wave Infrared System. It is the same thing as the DAS(with a better sensor 640p vs 720p). The picture shows a single camera of the MWIS. It will be placed all around the aircraft and it is also an infrared-based missile warning system on top of being a 360 degree infrared...

    It is not theorized it is one of the requirements. Creating a precise firing solution for a missile with several(3) IRSTs is possible and it is not limited to IIR missiles. You need azimuth, elevation and range data to create a firing solution. A single IRST can only provide the first 2 unless...

    I told you. Upgrade kits might be delivered earlier but the calendar is problematic. Why should I get any F-16 when there are ongoing Özgür modernization and advanced UCAV projects and we will get the delivery of the first 20 block 10 KAAN in 2028. Half of 2024 passed and no contract signature...

    If it is not operating in man in the loop mode, It either attacks preloaded coordinates or it has ATA( automatic target acquisition) and it will attack a preloaded target on its own. Those systems can recognize MBTs, air defense systems etc, and lock on them.

    Greeks getting the F-35 doesn't make them take full advantage of it. They need to invest in command centers, mission planning, datalinks, training/simulation, maintenance, logistics, data science etc. Turkiye started investing in those from the early 2000s. The US, Israel, Italy, UK and...
