    Air-Force How is the Egyptian Air Force able to operate its fleet of mixed origin?

    Well, Egypt ordered new J10CE Chinese fighters in August 2024. Now it has received the first batch of two . That is real quick delivery that some of the western countries should worry about in the event of war. (That is power of quick response to potentially replenish lost quantities.) As US...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    There is a saying in Turkish, about calling the grapes in the vine sour, if you can’t reach them. It was mentioned here many times about the shortcomings of the F35. ALIS is like a small laptop, on to which the pilot registers his flight plan details. Then puts it in to a slot in the aircraft...

    Sometimes these big companies can be bought for even a penny. But they come with a lot of baggage. There is no such thing as “free lunch” in business. 1. They may be heavily laden with debt. 2. Workforce redundancy monies could be horrifically high. 3. Order book may be low, sometimes non...

    That is not entirely true. If you want to, you can. At least mostly Turkish. There are Turkish versions of almost each and every word. Fersah is a unit of distance covering some 5km. In English it is “league” which is 3 miles. Fersah is the Arabic version of the Persian word meaning the same.

    Reverse engineering by copying, never gives good results. The material science used by you and the original will always be different. Therefore you will always hit snags. There could be certain fine critical points that may help design your own equipment. But that is where reverse engineering...

    That is the deduction of a Defenceturk X message writer. Yet according to Avoiotionist‘s Polish writer there were 6 UAVs in a set in the TB2s Poland received. . Are we to believe what a message says or an actual sale? And there is also Baykar’s site that says each set is composed of 6/UAVs...

    Indonesia has a land area of 1.9 million square kilometres. But it has seas in between which has an area of 5.8 million square kilometres. That is a total of nearly 8 million square kilometres to defend. You will need a large fleet of aircrafts to patrol that area. Beside that, you need to...

    There is however a disturbing information hidden between the lines here. It is stated that Allison will make 100 millions dollars a year out of this transmission deal. 32 transmissions per year puts the price over 3 million dollars a piece. That is an outrageous price for a transmission...

    You are correct. As 10 units were delivered in 2024, I automatically assumed the next 32 will be delivered in 2025. But as you say the delivery of 32 units will commence in Q1 2026. Thanks for correcting. That means either the 10 units delivered in 2024 will keep the factory busy in 2025, or...

    Türkiye was chosen as the centre for local regional area for the F35 operators as the engine overhaul and maintenance centre. That would have meant to dismantle the engine and rebuilding it.

    This is all to do with shockwaves, decreasing and expanding air pressures and temperature differences. When the supersonic shock wave suddenly drop to subsonic at the back end of the plane, pressure, density, and temperature suddenly increase. This causes the air temperature around there to pass...

    That is a vague area. Yes and no! On paper, probably yes. If you remember in one of Mahmut Aksit’s speeches; he was clearly saying about F110 engines being the property of GE. So under FMS we buy them and use them. Not really owning them outright. But we can’t tamper with them. Yet there is an...
