My radar knowledge is not great. It is limited to university physics level. S band and X band is what F35 is optimised against. S band is the wavelength that microwaves sit. Aesa radars operate at that band. So it is understandable for F35 to have defence against them. However, as @TheInsider...

Bro, I was replying to @Ripley ’s post there. Also I was insinuating corrupt practices. Please re-read my post #5665 in previous page.

I know. It is in reality a form of liquid fuel. But to overcome the difficulties of the liquid fuel, they use gel form. Onyx/Brahmos use the same type of gel form liquid fuel.

Liquid fuelled ramjet would be most useless as an a2a missile. Liquid fuel is hard to keep. You need to prepare it just before using it. You can’t keep it in the missile and store it. Most importantly there are certain particles that are added to the fuel to improve burn characteristics. With...

P1 was supposed to fly this year according to the statement he gave July last year when he took over from Kotil. https://www.defenceturk.net/kaanin-diger-prototipleri-daha-fazla-ucacak Now it is second quarter of next year. One thing he is good at; each time he opens his mouth to give a date...

Same US, however, will impose sanctions if you contradict this regime agreement and even sell technology or parts contrary to MTCR. It is a tough world with too much hypocrisy. India, a non NATO member buys one s400 after another and is not sanctioned. In fact offered f35s. We, an ally NATO...

If a missile has a range more than 300km and can carry explosives more than 500kg, you are not supposed to sell it under MTCR (missile technology control regime) rules.

You can’t stick that butt out too much. With afterburners on, it gets too hot there. Also this plane uses a parachute to stop. I have a feeling they may put it there. Having said that; Kaan was designed to have AESA radars in both the front and the rear of the aircraft. It was expected to have...

That guy is the black sheep of Iskenderun. One of the biggest BS talkers around with little or no technical background. Please try to avoid sharing his posts here.

https://turdef.com/article/idef25-tayfun-block-4-packs-a-bigger-punch-with-more-reach Well, we were wondering about Tayfun Blocks 2 and 3. Apparently an 8m long version of Tayfun as Block 3 has already been tested to hit a sea target. This is the block that is being developed for the sea...

Now I am going to play the devil’s advocate. 1. This means that the Gokbora has not flown yet. Even if it has, it hasn’t flown to hit a target. 2. There is still quite a bit of work to be done. If Aselsan takes its time to develop a seeker head, then the missile’s readiness will be delayed...

They certainly will. It will strengthen our position and give us a head start. But we still need to twist the arms of those in the Congress.

Nice but we still need Congress approval for actual sales.

How about something related to Piaggio ?

It all depends on how the buyer is manipulated whilst listening to the buyer’s needs, and putting that at the top of the list. There is also the matter of how these negotiations are conducted behind closed doors. Regarding TF2000, the real question is whether we want a ”Jack-of-all-trades”...

Bro you have mixed different technologies and made a concoction out of it. (In Turkish a Çorba) First of all CRDE is a technology that is not used by any missile or platform yet. Only recently did they manage to apply it to test platforms. There is still a long road ahead. First it will be...

Bro, reading above doesn’t make sense. You are showing CRDE details and talking about scramjet. Then you are talking about hypersonic and ballistic missiles. Can you please explain in depth what you mean? Ballistic missiles like Bora, Tayfun reach hyoersonic speeds during their flights...

One is licence for direct sale of planes, The other is co production licence with 3 other members in Turkey. There must be some legal back door, that would enable to bypass the first export licence situation. We will find out on 24th if it is true.

There is fine line here. export licence vs parallel export licence. If you listen to the video, he says to overcome outright export licence a parallel export licence will be utilised. There is supposed to be a signing ceremony on 24th between Tusas and Airbus. According to that video, my...

In fact he is talking about Starmer and Merz agreeing on a kind of parallel production licence being given to Turkey to overcome the hurdle of Germany agreeing to the export licence. Somehow a form of production licence to be given to Turkey similar to the production of the F16s. That means...
