This is an amendment to the existing Hisar serial production contract for the inclusion of Siper batteries.

IMHO this looks like 4 Siper batteries. 582/4 Aselsan's workshare per battery stands at 145,5 million euros if we add 36 missiles per battery total cost per battery might be around 200 million euros for the Turkish Armed forces use.

SSB signed a huge Siper contract today. The total worth of Aselsan's workshare is 582.615.995 Euros (428.538.878,16 Euro and 4.884.244.675 TL) .

For the existing systems, you are right. Siper won't be as good as American Patriot in time it will catch Patriot but for the emerging systems like UAVs, the competition is real.

Well, we did but we have access to NATO libraries/resources/training, a long history of operating submarines, various torpedoes and sonars, creating and updating sound signal profiles, mission files for underwater warfare. We also have a substantial background in electronic warfare. Jamming and...

It depends. Jet might not see the drone as a big threat and might want to utilize its autocannon. Greeks want to deploy trainer aircraft with propellers and jet engines to counter our drones. A TB2 armed with air-launched Sungur or a TB3 armed with Levent can be deadly against them.

EV is cheaper than IC cars in Turkiye.

Creating a torpedo countermeasure from scratch is a hard task. Submarine warfare is a top-secret area. Sure Taiwan might come up with something but I doubt it will perform similarly.

My educated guess is that F-35s stealth coating lowers the RCS of F-35 -20 decibels ( multiply the RCS with 0.01m²) at the X band and -10 decibels ( multiply the RCS with 0.1m²) in the S-band which means F-35s RCS in the S-band is roughly 0.01m².

Yes, that is what I meant. F-35 can't be as good in S-band because of how physics works, but it should still be a stealth aircraft. I wouldn't be surprised if ERALP picks an F-35 at 150km. And there is this thing with maintenance. F-35 needs heavy maintenance to be operated at the advertised...

Yalman launcher with 4x UMTAS can be added later. It is a simple modification.

ERALP is an S band radar. It has a 450km+ detection range against a 1m² RCS target in S-band and if we do a rough calculation it will have a 110km+ (119.68km) range against a target with a 0.005m² RCS target. What is the RCS of the F-35 in the S-band? This is the 1 million dollar question. F-35...

Well, I told you. The new admin is doing good but the average Joe will feel some difficulties after local elections. Simsek is gearing up to cut the money supply after local elections. Expect inflation to come down as a result of cutting the money supply. There will be a price to be paid by the...

Heat resistance is important but resistance to creep and inertia forces is equally important if not more. One company can have a superalloy that can withstand 1500 C but is only good for 10000 RPM while the other company can have a superalloy that can withstand 1300 C but can do 25000...

Instead of designing it optionally manned i would rather go for an unmanned version by removing the cockpit and life support systems.

That 15k-ton hydraulic press is for forging turbine disks. Bulkhead will be produced by 3D printer and production rate is not a problem TAI won't be producing thousands of Kaans in a year.

Eurofighter will still have a role to play in the future just like F-15 has a role to play. Widespread use of 5th gen in big numbers will take at least a decade; a strong platform with a big carry capacity will always be needed, like the F-15. We can use Eurofighters in a similar role to today's...

Milkar-3A3 V/UHF band Milkar-4A2 HF band Those two cover different bands of the EM spectrum.

Mark my words Germany will come crawling on the Eurofighter issue. UK, İtaly and Spain are gearing up to kick out Germany from the Eurofighter consortium. There is news that the UK threatened Germany that the UK companies might be forced to produce German parts of Eurofighter if Germany...

The process that starts from the engine right through to shutting it off again is known as a cycle, and over the engine’s lifetime there are only a finite number of cycles before something cracks or breaks. The conventional methodology for measuring this lifespan which many engine manufacturers...
