    Those OPVs will be expensive, especially in that configuration, I don't know how we can produce 10 of them. Note that we will also be constructing İstif class and we will probably put TF-2000 on the keel. The calendar of those projects is intersecting. Money doesn't grow on the tree. I'm afraid...

    I'm surprised this one has 76mm at the front and Smart-S Mk2 at the mast. Lol, this is a Milgem without RAM and Atmaca. I don't think we have enough budget to produce 10 of this. BTW even with the best estimates, 10x Milgem costs 2 billion. There is something fishy about this project. First, it...

    You are right for advertising reasons it is exactly like that but we can operate a TB2 in Libya that took off from TR without SATCOM. There 2 different ways. We can either use signal repeaters to extend the range to reach Libya or we can pre-program TB2 on the ground via mission planning...

    Range decrease in MİUS mainly happens because it uses a low bypass turbofan engine rather than a combustion engine or turboprop engine. It has nothing to do with comms range or " speed of data flow".

    Wrong. It has nothing to do with comms range. You can still fly in circles without a SATCOM. Akıncıs minimum speed is 130knots and its endurance is 24 hour. 130knot=240.5km/h 240.5*24=5772km. If you take bingo fuel into account, it has a 5000km range and 2500km mission radius.

    ESM is wrong. It is called Aselsan AREAS-2N. The difference between ARES and AREAS is that AREAS has electronic attack capability(Jamming). It is an AESA based ESM and high-power DRFM Jammer. AREAS is not offered to everyone like Koral but might become available in time as next-generation...

    So true Atak is the one with TS-1400. True Akıncı will not exist as there is no Turkish engine alternative. By that logic, we would have no Atak choppers by now similar to Altay tank and still waiting for TS-1400 to become operational. And we would have no Akıncı ever. True Milgem also doesn't...

    If I'm not mistaken Algeria bought some UAE UAVs and it turned out that they are completely useless. The situation is brought to the court and it seems like someone will pay a big price.

    As I said Russians haven't introduced any single-crystal blades up to today. All of the Russian products including the most recent ones use directionally solidified superalloys. That is the reason why Russian engines need more maintenance and have worse overhaul periods(MTBO-Mean Time Between...

    Siper is %100 on track. Cost. You need to fill those VLS cells. 32x VLS means ~100 million $ rather than 50. That is big. At 3000 tonnes I class sits at a very cost-effective sweet spot. It is a general-purpose frigate with outstanding air defense capability offered at a very competitive price.

    Mius cant take off from the LHD Anadolu with Al-25TLT even with afterburner. Mius will either get lighter or will be limited to ground bases with Al-25TLT configuration. AL-322F version can operate from LHD with an MTOW of ~5000kg without any problem.

    No, they use directionally solidified blades made from superalloys. No real single crystal capability. Russian will use single crystals in izdeliye-30(next-generation engine of the Su-57) but they are having big problems. The project has seen delay after delay. Cracking the single-crystal tech...
