One shouldn’t over exaggerate the effectiveness of F35s. As soon as they start carrying anything (fuel tanks or large bombs that won’t fit in it’s IWB) under wings or belly they are no different than a 4.5th generation jet. Internal weapon bays may accommodate limited number of amraam missiles...

That news on Aksam doesn’t say there will be 74 Typhoons. Read that original news piece again. It says : instead of having newly manufactured planes we will buy ready second hand jets. “We wish to purchase some of the 40 plane order as ready second hand planes” İMALAT YERİNE HAZIR UÇAK...

https://ekonomi.haber7.com/ekonomi/haber/3574330-turkiyeye-2-ulkeden-34-ucak-eurofighter-filosu-geliyor This site seems it knows best!!! According to this site, Türkiye has more or less consolidated an agreement if last stage on the purchase of 24 Qatari and 10 Omani Typhoon jets is finalised...

What firepower? We all saw how inaccurate their ballistic missiles were. Their military has no effective strike capability. In 1967 and in 1973 we saw how heavily armed Arabs with total population of 45million and 60million respectively were decimated by an Israel made up of of 2.7 million...

You are free to disagree. But I too am free to say that Israel won the air war against Iran. Iran had no answers against Israel’s air dominance. Israel managed to intercept majority of Iran’s missiles. The ones that got through, hardly made an impression. Had there been an all out war including...

If a country’s airforce can fly in to enemy airspace unhampered and bomb any place at it’s leisure because they have already taken out top brass of enemy and destroyed the AD systems of that enemy, then that enemy has lost the war big time. They are like all their gates open ready to receive...

A Jew is a person of Jewish heritage he has inherited from his mother, and believes in the religion of Judaism. Yet a Zionist is a person who supports the movement for a Jewish state in the old Israelite lands. Not all Jews are Zionists, as people's views on Zionism vary, and the term can...

According to media sources, Omani Typhoons being Tranche-3 were programmed to upgrade to ECRS-MK2 radar. If, somehow Türkiye manages to buy Qatari Typhoons and a quantity from Oman, then in due course as our new production Typhoons start to join the fleet, the older ones can be upgraded to...

I agree with @TR_123456 about his comment on the KE being a joke with the current engines. KE need TF6000 at least. But definitely TF10000 to come to fruition. Anka-3 too needs TF6000 to perform as a 5th generation stealth plane. It may even benefit from using TF10000 if heavier take off loads...

If at the top right edge we are seeing Crimean peninsula, Sebastopol to Istanbul is ~345km. So by comparison it has to be 160 Nautical Miles from where the KE is.

https://www.atasehirweb.com/asker/turkiyenin-ilk-f-16-ozgur-ucagi-gokyuzuyle-bulustu-h47300.html I don’t know if this was posted here before. But according to this news piece the first Ozgur F16 that has Murad Aesa radar is now flying under tail no 87-0019. The plan is to furnish all Block-30...

https://turdef.com/article/submarine-launched-atmaca-hits-moving-and-static-targets Submarine launched Atmaca, also-known-as Akata , has been successfully launched, hitting moving sea targets and stationary land targets. This has shown that the Akata missile can be used as an anti ship missile...

You are correct. Although it says “Tübitak Hedef Uçak” on the wings of the target plane, a little investigation proved that Tubitak uses Banshee target planes for these tests. Banshee wingspan is 249cm. About 90cm more than the Simsek. That would make the nose to be under 25cm and the main...

Wing span of our Simsek target plane is around 1.6metres. Looking at this picture and measuring it pro-rata with an engineer’s protractor ; the nose portion can not be more than 15cm wide. Its fuselage width is probably under 25cm. An F16 fuselage at it’s widest, is over 3.1 metres, and where...

Can you please share the real source (DGMO statement) rather than a twitter Message which is no more than hearsay. I can’t find any source to support your post. On the contrary there are messages from Indian Chief of Staff and others that says the opposite. Here is a briefing by a top DGMO...

Just a quick question: What is Armenian flag doing there? They are land locked. No Navy!! (reminded me of the UK comedy “open all hours” of Ronnie Barker, who always told his illegitimate nephew that his father was in Hungarian Navy!)

A fighter jet is as good as the airframe design it has. Gripen airframe is really good. Akaer of Brazil has been quite instrumental and key partner in the design of Gripen. They were also involved in Hürjet’s airframe. Engine is important. But the supersonic flight, especially as the plane...

My bad. Should have read the post again . It is a mistake. Skyceptor missile produced by Raytheon not seaceptor https://www.deagel.com/Weapons/Stunner/a000918 Can you share that data sheet please? Because none of the Roketsan paperwork states any speed related to these missiles. Technically...

T7 RedHawks, initially designed to be supersonic (1.3 Mach). But now slated as a 0.975 Mach subsonic trainer. It has a GEF404 engine on it to carry it to supersonic speeds. But it still has not yet materialised as one. It may have something to do with high g training it is supposed to give...

What source do you have regarding Hisar class missiles’ speeds? This is a closely guarded secret, and never been openly discussed. When they were being developed it was mentioned that they were 3+ Mach missiles. (See below article.) Some article somewhere may have mentioned 2mach speed and it...
