    Sungur-ER will have the data-link capability. It is also considered for Sungur but unlikely at least for the first block. The thermal sight and IIR seeker of Sungur have good performance. Sungur is also fully integrated into the HERIKKS network. It is like terminal engagement starts with the...

    Sungur can execute 50G maneuvers and its maximum speed is above 2.5 Mach. Its acceleration capability is mindblowing which means a shorter flight time to its maximum engagement range compared to its competitors. Warhead effectiveness and performance of the dual-band IIR seeker of the missile are...

    A slightly modified Atak Faz-II chopper. This is the new FAZ-II configuration. Note that the picture might not be %100 correct as some of the antennas seems to belong to the RF Jammer system(the black antennas on the wingtip near the LWR and UVFIS sensor) or might be used by both RWR and RF...

    Those studies started a decade ago give or take a few years. They are not recent developments. We haven't started those studies recently. SX blade development goes back to 2010. It just doesn't appear out of thin air.

    Israel's end game is founding a vassal PKK state that will be a friendly vassal, guarantee Israel's security, and act as a buffer against Iran. Such a state can gain land from Syria, Turkiye, Iran, and Iraq which means those countries will be no threat to Israel for a few centuries. Even if it...

    Today I took the time and directly asked an expert who works in the turbine engine design team at TEI. First of all let me announce here that the Turkish single crystal superalloy is a second-generation SX superalloy. The chemical properties of the alloy are obviously secret but according to...

    He literally says 1500-1800 degrees kelvin. Tubitak's director mentioned 1400 degrees Celcius but Tubitak gives that value for the blades they produced and delivered before TEI treated the blades with their own processes. By the way, STG 1 means stage 1 power turbine, and STG 2 means stage 2...

    That little dents on the edge of blades are actually helping cooling but they can't be compared to the complex holes on fighter engine blades. It depends on what you want from those blades if you want them to work at 1350 celsius degrees you don't need to drill advanced cooling holes and apply...

    I expect a decision to be taken for a land operation in Syria after today's National Security Council meeting. I expect the land operation to start in August. After yesterday's incident launching the operation will be even harder. Literally, everyone is against us. Iran, PKK/YPG, the Syrian...

    Why should the Turkish Armed Forces attack a known tourist resort? There is no merit in it. It is an obvious false flag but it looks like it is working. There will be big pressure on Turkiye.

    Advanced thermal barriers will be added and more optimized cooling canals will be drilled on the same single crystal composition. TS-1400 blades in this picture are good up to 1400 degree celsius as Prof. Akşit says because there are nearly no cooling canals on the blades as it is not needed...

    It seems like PKK with the help of Iran and Shia groups launched a false flag attack on civilians in Zaho and Iraq is accusing the Turkish Armed Forces of this attack. PKK is pushing all of the buttons to end the Turkish operations.

    This is right to some extent, but you are comparing apples with oranges. You should compare TS-1400 with CTS800. A turbofan engine suitable for TFX is inherently different than a turboshaft engine. I don't think current single crystal blades will have any problems up to ~1600 degrees celsius...

    "TRMotor will complete the development of the national engine by 2028". This doesn't tell a lot. We need to know the estimated first ignition date to better assess the situation.
