Merlin is comparatively large. ULAQ is 11m in length. Unless the target ship has reasonably high air assets with extremely good radar and a good sonar itself, these unmanned vessels will succeed in hitting, as they have better stealth than any ship. We are developing ULAQ KAMA as an expendable...

Özgür-2 program that will give the Block-40...

https://patents.google.com/patent/US5327809 Whether it was ever implemented or not; There was a patent taken for the dual packed missile for the MK41 VLS. And It coincides well with the SM2 measurements. We are not discussing if it ever was utilised in this format. The point is the very fact...

It all depends on how big a canister size MIDLAS can accommodate. If MIDLAS is same size as MK41 VLS System, then even Siper Block-1 will not fit in dual packed; never mind quadpacked. SM2 missile is 34.3 cm in diameter. And it only just manages to fit inside MK41 as a dual packed missile...

Siper missiles are solid fuelled dual pulsed rocket engined missiles produced by Roketsan. Roketsan has given 100km range for the Block-1 and 150km range for the block-2 missiles. Aselsan is not the missile manufacturer per se. They are responsible for guidance and electronics and are...

US/German collaboration RAM System costs in excess of 25 million dollars. There are 21 missiles in a launcher with each costing 1 million dollars. There are two blocks of RAM missiles: RAM Block 2 missiles are 2.5 times more manoeuvrable and have 1.5 times the range of Block 1 missiles...

Can you really see any KAAN with US engines being sold to Azerbaijan? Yes they are party to the development. But until our TF35000 is flying these birds, we can not sell KAAN to anybody without US permission. Even then, UK can stop the sale due to ejection seat. (Remember KAI-FA50 sale to...

Gokbey Ambulance with TS1400 should be no problem. For ambulance, the LHTech-800 engine may be allowed to be exported by US. But TS1400 should be the better and safer bet, albeit it may take some time for the civilian accreditation of the Turkish engine. Hurkus has a Canadian PT6 engine. I...

https://www.egetelgraf.com/hisar-hava-savunma-sistemine-tarihi-ayar-ates-gucunu-turboya-alacak Roketsan has stated that they are now confident about quad packability of Hisar missiles. That is going to pave the way of increasing fire power of our defence equipment.

Well, even Bora missile briefly touches the domain of hypersonic in it’s suppressed trajectory. We had discussed this earlier here. But if we remember again; Tayfun flew for 458 seconds and covered 561km crows flight distance. It had to go up to an altitude of 70-90 km for its suppressed...

https://defence-blog.com/turkish-armored-vehicle-manufacturer-opens-new-facility-in-uk/# Nurol Makina is setting up a production unit in UK to produce specialised armoured vehicles for UK and export markets. Production is expected to start before the end of the year. Two main vehicles to kick...

Diverterless Supersonic Inlet with its ugly bump is an ingenious invention of an Italian scientist, Antonio Ferri in the 1950s. However it could not be exploited to the full then, due to the lack of computer power to implement it fully, through Computational Fluid Dynamics. It solves the...

I know we all would like this bird to perform better. But there is reality and there is wishful thinking. 4T Sadak fully loaded is 731kg. You can’t have these on the wings. Under belly of Akinci will only accommodate a single Sadak-4T. (Unless we come up with a lighter Sadak-8T, which can...

TCG Anadolu is essentially and primarily an amphibious assault ship. It can achieve it’s intended potential, without UAVs or UCAVs. It just needs navalised helicopters. It will also need, Unmanned Sea Vessels to improve its combat capabilities, now that we have them available. If we can ever...

Nice bit of public show. Good stuff nevertheless. This test has to be done. These are the first steps yet. But any plane can do that, if it has the wings and lift required. What would be great is when the TB3 stops 150m before the start of the ramp and applies brakes while throttling up. Then...

What are the basic prerequisites of an ASW ship? Number 1 prerequisite should be a very good sonar system. You need to recognise your enemy and target before you can take measures to counter it. A towed array sonar like Captas-4, will potentially recognise a submarine faraway, well before that...

A Scramjet engine powered hypersonic missile, if flying through dense atmospheric layers will be subjected to very acute temperature increases at boundary layers due to air molecules ahead of the hypersonic structure are decelerated across the bow shock, and the converted kinetic energy creates...

Very good question. One of the most challenging and demanding parts of the HGV flight is the application of reliable and effective guidance to the vehicle. Due to high temperature environment a special care has to be taken to overcome problems especially during gliding and terminal stages. As...

@CAN_TR , Crimean war was in 1853 to 1856. But as part of the settlement for the British involvement in Crimea, Cyprus’s sovereignty was ceded to Britain by Abdülhamit the 2nd in 1878. And the Island came under British control then onwards.
