By 2025 Mius will be in the inventory and supersonic Mius will probably be in flight tests. Today it is a good move in 2025 it is not a good move.

I heard something different. There are two bidders one of them is Dearsan and the other is the Sedef-Istanbul Tersanesi consortium.

Yeah, it was 27000lbs at first and increased to 29000lbs. That is the lowest acceptable at the moment. 35.000 lbs thrust is more like a target rather than a bare minimum.

SIPRI is not a very reliable source but you can get a general idea.

A new booster engine, a smart capsule(kinda like an empty torpedo that can go to designated coordinates) is in design for Sub-Atmaca. I expect a range increase for Sub-Atmaca like the Atmaca-Land.

Turkish national engine will be similar to F110 but it will also have differences. There will also be many surprises and improvements. The national engine will have up-to-date technologies like 3D additive manufacturing, advanced blisk production, a monolithic compressor section, national single...

Siper=SM-2 Block IVA(cancelled)

MICA-VL VLS cells are very compact so rather than penetrating the hull they are placed above the deck. It is a logical choice. Mk41 on the other hand is a big system and has to be placed behind the 76mm cannon by penetrating the deck. Ada class has space for 8x Mk41 VLS behind the 76mm cannon...

It can be everything but Göktuğ. But my money is on the cut-down version of the Siper aka Hisar-U. I expect a ~100km Hisar family missile(a resembling geometry and a dual pulse engine) with an RF seeker. Siper should be the same missile with better guidance (Ka-band AESA RF+IIR) and added...

The contract includes those. There is nothing to fuss about. That's why it is called T-70.

It doesn't matter we won't be operating our LHD before 2023. Even the announced "delivery" date of March 2022 is very doubtful. It might slip to the second or third quarter easily and I have suspicions that it might slip even more. The initial operational capability can be gained in 2023 with a...

It might be but we can't know it for sure. Mar-D is an X band AESA(basically like a fighter radar) radar. It can certainly be used to illuminate a target for a semi-active RF-guided missile if Aselsan wants it or TN demands it. I doubt adding the capability to illuminate a target to MAR-D and...

It depends on the booster. You can even achieve over 100km. Look at the design of Aster-30.

Kütleeşdeğer Test Mühimmatı. Mass equivalent test munition. It basically has the same geometry, mass, and mass distribution as the real missile. It is used for airborne carry, flutter, and separation tests. ITM stands for İtki Test Mühimmatı= Thrust test munition.

I think we should force Greece to spend more on defense while we continue spending on our national defense sector. We have 200 UAVs in the inventory we should force Greece to purchase that many. Force them to buy frigates, submarines, torpedoes, ballistic missiles. Money paid for those is...

Yes, they are but TN wants brand new navalized T-129 and T-929. Those AH-1Ws are very old. They have little flight hours left on them and it isn't worth investing more into those.

Hürkuş-C costs under 20 million. I don't know where this 40 million figure came up.

https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/som-j-5-inci-nesil-asuw-fuzesi-atis-testi-icin-geri-sayim-basladi-4733 According to Mr. İbrahim Sünnetçi Som-J (540kg) is getting lighter. Specs will probably be updated like Atmaca (800kg to 750kg).

There is a project dubbed fighting UAV. Sungur will indeed have an A-A version.

It depends. Do you want to buy weapons? Do you want to setup a maintenance facility in your country? How many do you consider buying? The list goes like this..
