It is an issue even the ex-head of Tübitak SAGE Gürcan Okumuş talked about that issue in an interview. BTW RAM is tested against GQM-163 Coyote test target missile. Anyone who thinks RAM is worse than AIM-9X when it comes to missile interception should just check what GQM-163 Coyote is.

Yes, but pulling 50G is not something you want as the missile will bleed a lot of energy. Even against supersonic missiles the missile is not supposed to be pulling 50Gs. It means your guidance is so bad at calculating Predicted Intercept Point(PIP) that the missile is compensating for that...

Bozdoğan is not suitable for missile and UAV interception missions period. When you want your 140kg A-A missile to pull 30-40G maneuvers at mach 3 to 4 your tiny actuators need to produce enough torque to run a car. What we need is a smaller, lighter therefore inherently agile, relatively cheap...

You are talking as if Levent won't have agility and performance. Levent will be an inherently agile missile as it is a lot lighter than Bozdogan. Bozdogan uses some really expensive and exotic subsystems to be agile at that weight. Less mass=more inherent agility, more mass=less inherent agility...

If what you wrote is true he will win fast after acquiring Turkish drones and logistics to feed his forces and supporters.

No there is a reason why there is no naval AIM-9X. There were sea sparrow based short range naval air defense systems in the past but they were abandoned in favor of RAM and today there are no naval air defense systems based on the predecessor of sea sparrow. If we try to intercept incoming...

It depends. It has only an IIR sensor and no passive RF sensors. It is big and expensive because it is designed as an a-a missile for high-value air targets.

25 missiles will be delivered this year according to the LRIP contract.

22nm is important because it was the first node that was based on tri-gate (FinFET) transistors. Today's cutting-edge nodes still use FinFET transistors. In the near future, GAAFET transistors will replace FinFET transistors. A facility that produces 22nm FinFET chips can also(theoretically)...

Their condition is good nothing like American surplus C-130s. They have low accumulated flight hours. They can easily be kept operational till 2050 with good maintenance and modernization. Greeks want to go for American surplus C-130s but their condition is so bad that they are having second...

24 Hurjets for 6 A400M 1 A400M costs roughly 160 million euros, so we are selling a single Hurjet for 40 million euros(43.5 million $). IMHO this is a good trade for us.

The ejection seat and engine are subsystem level. There are a lot of foreign-sourced items at the component level.

Turkiye might get immediate delivery of 6 of 7 Spanish A400Ms Germany is interested in the 7th aircraft.

Unless those choppers will also be used in civilian tasks(FYI they will be) If a helicopter without a civilian certification crashes when used for civilian tasks, you can sue responsible parties.

No helicopter will be delivered before the EASA certificate is officially awarded which is likely to happen in August but it is not certain.

Yes, that is true. Those companies sell us our own gold at international market price. This is also one of the privileges of Canadian companies, not ours. They pay %4.81 of the gold as an extraction fee but get it back through subsidies and tax cuts.

This means serious delay. He cited logistic chain problems. It seems we have an embargo problem. End of 2025 is basically 2026 there is no way to complete all the tests (kinematic tests, combat system tests like BURFIS, TOYGUN, KARAT etc, weapon integration and weapon tests) in 3 years to...

Typical American values? It looks like Marxist utopia values to me.

Really bad for us. Canadian companies pay %4.81 of the gold.

Polls show good results for whoever finances it. That is why when I try to get a picture of Turkish elections I use multiple polls from different companies and consider the polling company's track records.
