I would love to be surprised. But there is also the reality. Irrespective of how much republican constituents hate the Jews, elected presidents and their colleagues in position of power have debts to pay back to the Jewish lobbies and/or have strong signs that their strings are pulled by them...

Since Trump’s decision to stop intelligence sharing with Ukraine all Ukranian f16 jets have lost their radar jamming capabilities. Apparently, the Russian radars have been rotating their frequencies continuously to overcome f16’s jamming capabilities. US had been sending continuous updates to...

Neither Ukraine nor Russia will trust any other country. Turkey is the only country that has good relations with both at such a high level. But, unless a very solid truce and peace is in place, to be part of any peace mission in Ukraine is a non starter. At the same time if we have the power...

Yes and no! We should carry a policy of duality. Just like we have been doing with Russia and Ukraine. Stay independent. But at the same time give them limited hope that we are supportive of their cause. Use them without committing too deeply to rock the boat, as in Ukraine situation. Ukraine...

When there are nearly 7-8 million Jews in the US and are actively supporting Israel via their control over US politics, US media and US economy, there is no chance of any US administration to give them the cold shoulder and still stay in power. Israel means US. US administrations rather lose...

According to the Canadian sites it is only possible to disable the sensor suites and some avionics, turning a marvel of a plane to a pumpkin of a plane. But even that can be open to arguments. Canadians have on order 88 of these planes. So rightfully they are questioning the logic of buying them...

https://turdef.com/article/thailand-partners-with-asfat-for-new-frigate-acquisition “Possible sale“ may be turning in to definite. According to above news, the cooperation document between ASFAT and Thai government has already been signed. Thailand’s state-owned defence company United Defense...

The upgrade involves 280 tanks. Originally at the end of 2006 with a cost of 430 million dollars, 354 tanks were purchased from Germany. It seems the land forces sees 280 of them to be upgradeable. There is extensive work to be done to the tanks. The armour is completely overhauled; both...

We know that the Kara Atmaca had a range in excess of 280km. There were rumours that it had reached 360km range. But according to Tolga Ozbek’s message in X it has exceeded 400 km in this last test. And as @Sanchez suggested it is on Derman...

RCS values are arbitrary at this stage. The plane has all the parameters that conforms to low observability as it is. But it hasn’t got the RAM paint on yet. We don’t know how much improvement that will provide. Indigenous engines should have a positive effect as well. There are various papers...

BÜRFİS (Bütünleşik RF Sistemi) (Integrated RF system) is a group and sets of radars and sensors that work together as one unit made out of over 2000 GaN based Aesa radar modules that are all around KAAN’s body. This gives KAAN an unprecedented level of situational awareness. With BURFIS It will...

Reading through the various posts here, it seems that most are looking at Turkish Airforce’s future development picture, through 4th generation air warfare glasses. We are building a very potent and a multi purpose 5th generation aircraft. Although originally it was envisaged to replace our...

Bro, flat belly generally means better stealth. f35’s slightly rounded belly has been argued to compromise it’s stealth. Rounded surfaces reflect back radar sigoals. Where as flat and 90degree surfaces scatter radar signals. The thing about flat panels is that incident radar energy is reflected...

Well, let’s not fight over it. Also no reason or point to compare it with Arjun. Yes the tank is unbelievably late. But at least we haven’t given up on it; and bought another make. We have been upgrading it in line with time and experiences from the field. It has become a prestige thing for us...

Bro, why do you think UK have decided to decommission them all? The cost of upgrading them to T2/T3 has been deemed economically unviable. Structurally they need extensive upgrades too. Not just computers and avionics. Spanish may have spent close to 30 million for their initial T1 upgrade to...

The real question you should be asking is: Why bother building a MUGEM at all? 1. We don’t have a decent aircraft to do it justice. 2. The ship itself is too expensive to build and to maintain for a country like ours. 3. We don’t have the expertise and technologies to operate and build a...

Why bother making a KAAN for MUGEM? Navalise Hurjet with a more powerful EJ200 engine. We can even think about a TVC version of this engine on Hurjet that develops more thrust; Together with Spain’s ITP, who worked on the TVC for this engine and carried 400 odd tests on it. In this format...

As per @Merzifonlu ’s post, Baykar has an organic partnership going with Erin motor. They used a small engine of Erin to power their vertical take off UAV. Sometimes it is easier to manipulate and work with private companies, than deal with state owned company bureaucracy.
