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...

There is. Turkiye already has test fired them in July 2022. It has high degree of anti jam capability. It has proven to be able to hit targets under heavy GPS jamming. Can manoeuvre during flight to make it more difficult for CIWS. It is also super sea skimming. Therefore can only be detectable...

Roketsan produces a 122mm and 230mm rocket munition that can be fired from drones like Akinci and probably TB3. Trg122 missile (122mm diameter) has a weight of 76kg and when fired from air should have a range of about 70-80km. There is also a trg230 (230mm diameter) with a weight of 215kg and...

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...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/abdli-sirketten-firtina-obusu-sanzimani-icin-milyonlarca-dolarlik-sozlesme/ Turkey has signed a contract with US firm Allison for millions of dollars, covering the transmission of Firtina-2 howitzers. In addition to the 10 transmissions received last year, there...

If you do not provide source material then it is deemed as “off the top of your head”. Besides it is not a derogatory sentence. We all use our memory most of the time, which can falter us often. That is why we insist on everyone to provide a source. You mention that you have taken your figures...

Please get your facts right. The total population of Jews around the world according to the “Jewish Virtual Library” is standing at 16.7 million as of 2024. 7.46 million live in the USA. 7.42 million live in Israel. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-population-of-the-world According...

Bro, these were all discussed in previous pages. This news you shared is wrong as the exact translation doesn’t mention any T1 Typhoons. Please see my post #4021 : https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-air-forces-news-discussion.2740/page-201 We can discuss and argue here all day and everyday...

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. Kale with Pratt & Whitney had formed a partnership and was building a good number of parts for the F135...

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...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/msbden-ikinci-el-typhoon-tedariki-iddiasina-yanit/ Here is the news from the source. We had announced that the Requirement Definition Document prepared as a result of the meetings was sent to the UK Ministry of Defense and the relevant company. We are waiting for...

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...

I like your optimism. A down payment is made to show you are serious about the purchase. Seller has every right to hold on to that money in case of cancellation of the order. We abandoned the purchase of 79 kits in place of upgrading our F16s with our own Ozgur 2 programme in house. We need...

We have to somewhat pay for the 79 upgrades work to be implemented to our F16s. We need Lockheed Martin approval to alter and replace parts on those planes. We need LM’s help too to make a smooth transition of the upgrading work. In a way, buying the 40 new F16V70 planes is the payment that will...

Tranche numbers are bit of a snake oil story in the end. There are many tranche numbers flying up in the air. According to the UK , T4 with ECRS-MK2 is T4+ Standard. After T3 all additions are small increments of improvements. T4 has ECRS-MK1 (Hensoldt manufactured Aesa radar) which is a...

If you Investigated a bit more you will find that Spanish T1 planes have been upgraded to T2 with a good number of T3 equipment included as well. So ours wouldn’t be the first. But as stated in the above post, the upgrading of the software to the level of T3 standard on these to allow new...

As far as I remember from what UK Unions and press were saying, the factory has got 2 to 3 planes to build before the end of this year when they have no more work in hand. So they need more work to keep the workforce available for tempest. They need work to keep them going until 2030 at least...

Apparently Turkey is in a driving position about the deal over the purchase of the Typhoons. According to the below site : Meanwhile, it has recently been reported that the Typhoon factory in Warton, England, is mostly idle, with no Typhoons being produced - it is not clear if this means the...
