I have no info about the contra-rotating propellor studies at Baykar.

From 2014. Page 20. It is in Turkish. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Dergi_Ocak2014.pdf Page 30. Roketsan-Raytheon contract in the scope of the ESSM project. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ocak2017.pdf There are more I cant dig everything. It...

It still uses French engines. Other than that no subsystem is foreign. There are also some foreign component level parts but they are not important.

In terms of solid-fueled rocket engines, several of our institutions have the design capability but there is an energetic chemical materials problem. He doesn't specifically refer to the scientific ability of production. Earlier Hisar models (Hisar-A, Hisar-O) were using solid fuels which have...

What Okumuş said is about the "serial production" of energetic materials. Investments are made and measures are taken to cover the serial production side of the things. Hisar missiles use one of the best available solid rocket fuel formulas available worldwide. The time between firing and...

Nope. Bahçeli never said a word about Soylu up to now. He stays silent. Something is fishy about all of those shenanigans.

MIUS is a stealth deep strike subsonic aircraft with an MTOW of around 4 tonnes. The unmanned fighter project is a completely different project. It is a fighter-sized aircraft. I expect it to be similar to Hürjet in size but have more payload capacity due to the removal of the cockpit and other...

Armenia resists the opening of the Zengezur corridor between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan. In the meanwhile, Armenians are freely using the Lachin corridor to travel between Armenia and Hankendi/Stepanakert. If no steps are taken by Armenia to open the Zengezur corridor, Azerbaijan is gearing up...

The latest polls suggest Pashinyan could get %25 of the votes in the election and become the winner. I think this is good news for Azerbaijan.

It is postponed due to COVID-19

We will eventually upgrade all of our F-16s. Block 30s go under modernization first. Then the 40s, then the 50s. 50+ won't be modernized in the near future. 50s will go under mid-life modernization probably by the end of this decade. People say Aselsan AESA is already installed on the prototype...

The Sungur system is at the back.

This is not true harpy is way more advanced than Spike NLOS. It has a passive RF seeker, GPS/INS, stabilized IIR/CCD EO gimbal, two-way datalink, and man-in-the-loop capability.

True but it is still a lot of money even when you take that into account. Poland bought the whole package and it cost them nearly 10 million for a TB2 and it needs more infrastructure than Harop. Turkiye produces SOM cruise missiles for a million dollars per unit. Let's say Harop costs 2...

Good humour inside the salt mine :)

Poland is also getting mini SAR pods for TB2s, mobile ground control stations, simulators, MAM-L, spare parts, logistical and training support and tech transfer for some subsystems. IMHO they might order some EW pods in the future. I also heard eventually Poland wants to buy 90 UAVs.

It might be a simulation output.

As far as i know engine, FGPAs, various Garmin and Viasat gadgets. There might be more. It is mostly nationalized as of today.

Istif class will move with MIDLAS and Hisar-based solutions. Hisar-O+(IIR), Hisar-RF, and probably a new missile between Hisar-RF and Siper which was announced by Mr. Ismail Demir. Hisar-O+ and Hisar-RF might be quadpackable as they are similar to ESSM in size.

TB2 doesn't need infrastructure or airfields. It can be controlled from mobile truck-based stations. Its range cover can be increased via mobile or static ground sea or air-based relay hardware (TB2/S has Satcom which is another thing). It can take off from basic paved or asphalt roads. You can...
