Correct. Just to add a few more points: 1. That canard would detract from the stealthiness of the plane. It is there to give the plane more manoeuvrability. But since without cutting edge AI interface to give one to one dogfighting capability, the plane doesn’t need to be that much...

I understand your dissatisfaction. But if we have to go by your logic then f404 on a heavy -14000kg- Gripen shouldn’t work either. Yet it can easily do +9g and -3g manoeuvres. Also flies at 2mach. If the airframe is designed properly, KE with “composite” main structure and 5-6000lbf dry thrust...

No idea. But according to our manager a team should be given a certain minimum time to become available again for a second match. And the Turkish team was not given this time.

Did you not read about why they played that bad? Apparently according to our manager, FIBA made them play at 08.00 in the morning and gave them no time to rejuvenate their depleted energy levels after the last match. Yet Sweden had plenty of time. But their shitty plan didn't work. Sweden still...

According to latest news, due to sanctions applied to Turkish defence entities by USA, the T70 production has almost come to a halt. There are a limited amount of helicopters that can be produced. Apart from that, the licence agreement with Sikorsky was coming to an end anyway; and we couldn’t...

Happy 30th August Victory day to all Turkish members.

Yes! I had mentioned this before that they may be thinking about using the TF10000 for afterburner take off only (like Concorde used to do) to give more payload capacity. But for that they need to alter the Anka-3 engine housing and re design. Besides TF10000 is not around yet.

Bro, Baykar had stockpiled a good number of engines prior to the war breaking out and/or while they could still buy the engines from Motor Sich. That factory has been bombed so many times as it is in the middle of the war zone that according to news coming through, it is not physically possible...

That is why they are made to manoeuvre during mid course and in some cases during terminal phase. That makes it near impossible to track and eventually establish radar lock. The only anti missile systems that may work are: Arrow 3, when exo-atmospheric hypersonic missiles slow down before...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/kaan-prototiplerinin-ucus-tarihi-aciklandi/ Mr Demiroglu has made new statements about first flights of KAAN’s PT2 and PT3. He said “PT2 should fly in April 2026 and PT3 a month or so later”. He has also made statements about the Anka-3 drone. Most important...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tayfun-block-4-icin-seri-uretim-tarihi-aciklandi/ Roketsan MD Murat İkinci has made another statement reiterating the final speed of Tayfun Block 4 to be in excess of Mach5 when it hits it’s target: “All ballistic missiles can actually reach speeds exceeding 5...

Yes and no! You were correct in suggesting kgk84 for NEB84 application as Aselsan also does the same in their brochure. One has to remember that if the bunker to be penetrated is a few feet below surface the MK84 based bunker-buster bomb can do it’s job as it is designed to hit bunker surface...

D Do you think Aselsan guys are sitting on their laurels? They are aware of the GPS systems being blocked. We lived through it during North Syria operations. To prove that without GPS they could find target, they used an Atmaca firing and hit the target with bulls eye accuracy in the middle of...

I said twice the size but three times the weight. 3 x ~200kg = ~ 600kg. Super Simsek is 1.75 wide, 4m long and 0.75m high. Double it : 3.5m wide 8m long and 1.5m high TB2 is 12m wide, 6.5m long and 2.2m high TB2 weighs 450kg when empty. 650-700kg when fully loaded. Apart from that large wing...

I like the way you approach this. You are correct in thinking that this drone should operate in airspaces where total air superiority is gained. But TB2 stands for Tactical Block 2. It is not a standard MALE drone. It is built to fight. Tactical in armed forces means taking immediate combat...

Good idea! But Eren is essentially a turbojet powered loitering munition. So it is not going to be cheap. TB2 made its name with MAM-L, which is a Lumtas missile sans rocket motor. It took out enemy armour right left and centre costing minimum to the user, devastated the receiver. It did that by...

https://turdef.com/article/bayraktar-tb2-flies-with-the-indigenous-tm100-engine According to above article it is the indigenous TM100 engine it flew with. But I find it wrong to publish these so-called record figures. These tests are needed. Yes. It gives the technical staff valuable...

How do you know that our missiles are inferior to the US ones? Do you think that our airforce would accept an inferior quality a2a missile when they have been using the US built ones and know all their kinematics? US missiles are not infallible either. We saw in Ukraine how after initial success...

There is no such thing as friends when it comes to relations between states. It is cooperation along the lines of mutual benefits and interests, political understanding, good trading partner relations and historic connections that tie populations to each other. If any of those bonds are broken...

Bro, You should also add to the cost; the cost of what those blown up drones would have destroyed, had they not been blown up. Many times people have criticised the destruction of cheap Shaheed drones by expensive a2a missiles in Iran-Israel conflict. If you haven’t got a cheaper interceptor...
