Hypersonic Glide Vehicles and the tech behind simplified: As most of us know well, a hypersonic vehicle is a platform that travels at speeds in excess of 5 times the speed of sound. But we must not forget that the speed of sound varies with the density of air and the temperature of air in which...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/misirda-buyuk-rekabet-hurjet-ve-l-39ng/ savunmasanayist is one of my favourite defence sites. But to hava a caption that says great rivalry is most puzzling and more than that, is belittling our Hurjet. L-39NG is a small jet trainer and is in no where near...

Members are asked not to mock each other, and at the same time must adhere to writing intelligible posts whereby English Grammar rules are watched as much as possible. Posts with no commas or full stops or correct grammar, lose meaning and become like a puzzle to solve.

Subsonic case : round/circular nose is more aerodynamic Supersonic case : pointed nose is more aerodynamic. But in stealth designs you need flat surfaces and sharp edges rather than rounded to stop radar signals from bouncing back.

Why would Tusas produce a flying wing form as Anka-3? Main notion that lies behind that is the fact that a flying wing has parameters that imparts stealthiness. Stealthiness is not achieved by adhering to just specific geometry or materials alone. It is the sum of all different parts of the...

For a large SSN it needs about 20metres of water under its kiel to be stealthy. For a SSK size this is under 15 metres. As submarines move closer to the bottom while sailing, they cause a lot of disturbance that bounce back from the bottom. That is why a good depth of water is needed under it’s...

Gür Class and Preveze Class subs, if I am not mistaken, use Hensoldt Sero-400 optronic periscope systems. In their MLU, it was programmed that they were updated. There were also some work undertaken by our companies, to make the close to surface parts, stealthy...

So with that, and the fact that first I-Class ship is furnished with a 76mm Süper RAPID gun, is it not likely that given the choice, the navy will insist on having the same S/R Oto Melara gun to be fitted on to the rest of the I-Class ships? Or alternatively, insist on MKE to introduce the same...

The general in question is reportedly arrested and being taken to Baghdad. If true! A compensation needs to be paid in one form or another.

Any large deal irrespective of the country involved, that has billions hanging at the end of it, is susceptible to being part of a bribery scandal or some form of corruption. We probably suspect these things and may have heard or read about it. But this is not the platform to accuse any country...

Do you have proof of such bribery and corruption? If not you had better retract your claims asap. If you do; then share it here to prove.

Oh! I have definitely read what I wrote. But you haven’t read what I have written. It just means that, with the right length and fuel, it has a potential of 2500km range. That is why a turbofan is a necessity. just because, due to the limitation of nuclear cruise missiles agreement, the higher...

Before you write such definitive statements, you should investigate and support your claim with valid sources. https://www.britannica.com/technology/Tomahawk-cruise-missile Quote The Tomahawk is a long-range, unmanned weapon with an accuracy of about 5 metres (16 feet). The 5.6-metre-...

A reciprocal squadron consisting of similar number of Rafale planes should be (if not already there) in Turkiye. https://www.blogbeforeflight.net/2022/10/qatar-deploy-fighter-aircraft-turkey.html#:~:text=Qatar%20will%20soon%20deploy%20some,pilots%20to%20train%20in%20Turkey. A set up of 250...

It s a good and correct decision to design a carrier for the Turkish Navy, since we have the know how to build one; albeit with some help from UK and Spain. . It will however be the wrong decision to build one under these economic conditions. It is too expensive to build and sustain with our...

This was discussed here few times. Up to about 1200 to even 1400km range it doesn’t make economical sense to use a turbofan engine. Tomahawk missiles have 2400km range. Fuel is precious commodity in such a long range. It has to take the missile longer per litre burnt. So a more expensive but...

The project was initially designed with Indonesia funding 20 percent of the 8.1 trillion won total cost, in exchange for technology transfer and participation in the production process. As a result of the reduced financial contribution of Indonesia, the benefits Indonesia will receive, including...

https://turdef.com/article/tusas-expands-its-presence-in-indo-pacific Here is the Turkish take of the same news regarding Indonesian office of Tusas. Tusas had opened a similar office in Malaysia when it was offering Hurjet to the Malaysian government. Some media centres are probably drawing...

A 285 metre long 65000 ton carrier is a seriously large ship. Having said that, both Single and Twin engined KEs and Anka-3 drones are not too different than a fighter jet and a bomber jet in their potential capabilities. Just slightly smaller in size and a great deal cheaper. Instead of a 150m...

Tusas has been working on the design of a navalised Hurjet for quite sometime. If we are to navalise and structurally improve the Hurjet to withstand the harsh environment in which it will be used, then it makes economical sense to use these planes as light attack aircrafts too. Otherwise...
