BÜRFİS (Bütünleşik RF Sistemi) (Integrated RF system) is a group and sets of radars and sensors that work together as one unit made out of over 2000 GaN based Aesa radar modules that are all around KAAN’s body. This gives KAAN an unprecedented level of situational awareness. With BURFIS It will...

Reading through the various posts here, it seems that most are looking at Turkish Airforce’s future development picture, through 4th generation air warfare glasses. We are building a very potent and a multi purpose 5th generation aircraft. Although originally it was envisaged to replace our...

Bro, flat belly generally means better stealth. f35’s slightly rounded belly has been argued to compromise it’s stealth. Rounded surfaces reflect back radar sigoals. Where as flat and 90degree surfaces scatter radar signals. The thing about flat panels is that incident radar energy is reflected...

Well, let’s not fight over it. Also no reason or point to compare it with Arjun. Yes the tank is unbelievably late. But at least we haven’t given up on it; and bought another make. We have been upgrading it in line with time and experiences from the field. It has become a prestige thing for us...

Bro, why do you think UK have decided to decommission them all? The cost of upgrading them to T2/T3 has been deemed economically unviable. Structurally they need extensive upgrades too. Not just computers and avionics. Spanish may have spent close to 30 million for their initial T1 upgrade to...

The real question you should be asking is: Why bother building a MUGEM at all? 1. We don’t have a decent aircraft to do it justice. 2. The ship itself is too expensive to build and to maintain for a country like ours. 3. We don’t have the expertise and technologies to operate and build a...

Why bother making a KAAN for MUGEM? Navalise Hurjet with a more powerful EJ200 engine. We can even think about a TVC version of this engine on Hurjet that develops more thrust; Together with Spain’s ITP, who worked on the TVC for this engine and carried 400 odd tests on it. In this format...

As per @Merzifonlu ’s post, Baykar has an organic partnership going with Erin motor. They used a small engine of Erin to power their vertical take off UAV. Sometimes it is easier to manipulate and work with private companies, than deal with state owned company bureaucracy.

Bro, the sounding rocket goes up almost vertically to 100km or 200 km. then it comes down to an area close by. Delta-V guys say it is recoverable. The only way is with a parachute. But if it is delivering Tolun hundreds of kilometres away beyond enemy lines, there is no way to recover it.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/sihalara-iha-300-havadan-atilan-balistik-fuze-geliyor/ Finally! We are to have TRG300 missiles’ air launched version. Initially being integrated to the UCAVs. Hopefully F16s will also be fitted with them These are the most potent artillery rockets we have. They...

Main idea behind this project is to be able fire a bomb like Tolun to a distance where a plane would normally carry it. Hence without endangering your plane and it’s pilot, you are delivering more economically a potent weapon, hundreds of kilometres away, at a speed that far exceeds any...

As these ships are to be built with VLS, could it be because now that Bozdogan based Goksur system has been successfully fired from what looks like a VLS canister, these ships will have a point defence system based on Goksur VLS? Thus, they do not need high end radar systems like the Ada Class??

https://www.iskandinavyagundemi.com/gokbey-helikopteri-test-icin-neden-erzuruma-degil-de-isvece-gitti/ Gökbey, was subjected to winter tests before in Erzurum. But in Erzurum and Ardahan average temperatures this time of the year is -9 to -11 degrees Celsius. Kiruna Sweden has a -30 degrees...

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...

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...

How about the one they fitted on to TCG Gaziantep? https://turdef.com/article/mke-s-76-mm-barrel-enters-inventory-on-tcg-gaziantep And the one one TCG Beykoz? https://turdef.com/article/mke-s-7662-mm-naval-gun-is-installed-on-tcg-beykoz-corvette-for-trials
