https://www.defenceturk.net/turkiye-kritik-sistem-satisinda-ihrac-modeli-gelistiriyor Answer to a lot of members’ question about export version of Turkish defence equipment has been given in the above news piece. Apparently Turkish defence companies produce export versions of defence equipment...

If we can sell half the planes we produce to foreign customers, those engines will almost be free! Our foreign currency will stay at home. It will create work for Turkish technicians. We will generate foreign currency income.. It will be win win win situation. It costs RR, P&W and GE billions...

This is the site I got it from. It says 2.9 billion for 25 planes. But with ancillaries it came to 5.06 billion dollars...

Let us look at recent purchases of non partner countries’ f35 orders regarding how much it really costs to buy these planes that are 78million dollar a piece on paper, after inflation corrected to date : Finland (2022) 64 planes 9.6 billion dollars : 160 million dollar a piece. Poland (2020)...

No one should kick Türkiye out of f35 program! No one should stop delivery of paid planes!

Pls check again. GE-F414 in Gripen develops 13000lbf dry and 22000lbf wet thrust. Performance Maximum thrust: 13,000 lbf (57.8 kN) military thrust 22,000 lbf (97.9 kN) with afterburner Overall pressure ratio: 30:1 Bypass ratio: 0.25:1 In actual use, twin engines developing 10000lbf and...

A lot of parts could be designed to be common. Airframe design has to be addressed. Probably more of a delta wing construction will have to be applied. Parts of fuselage, interiors and avionics can be common. A stealth Hurjet doesn’t have to be as stealthy as KAAN or F35. A compromised design...

I understand and to a degree not rejecting the idea of a single engined sister plane to KAAN. But let us look at the current situation and contemplate with the bird in hand rather than the ones in the bush. We still don’t have a concrete physical presence of that indigenous engine that may...

You need to decrease thermal image of the engine. ACE has three stream airflow system. The third stream is primarily there to serve as a thermal management heat sink. This engine will give better range, speed and acceleration with a lot of dry thrust that is nearing 30K lbf level. That is more...

Dr Demiroglu, the new MD of Tusas says a great deal but doesn’t give any specifics that would quench our thirst. He is talking about sixth generation fighter program. Sounds nice to the ear. But let us walk before we can run. We still don’t have a fully operational 5th generation plane yet. Let...

There were two designs once that we were contemplating about: It is a shame that the second one with single engine version was chosen. Otherwise we wouldn’t be too far away from having indigenous engines for our trainer/light attack aircraft now. Two TF10000 engines would have been ideal for...

It is difficult to understand what TEI is up to by following them from their site, and the news reports they publish or the interviews they give. But as @huseyin242 rightfully mentions the engines look more like the real prototypes now. These are the two pictures they have of the tf6k and tf10k...

Italians are building 6 Constellation Class Frigates for the US Navy. Greeks wish to dovetail on to this programme with a possibility to build some of them in Greece. These are derived from FREMM Class and are 1.1 to 1.2 billion dollar, 151m long, 7300ton ships with 32 VLS tubes. By the...

https://www.defenceturk.net/donanmaya-yeni-guc-10-nolu-istif-sinifi-firkateyn-yolda The I-Class Frigate programme is proceeding with the second batch of the 4 ships, after the 9th and 10th ships’ keels have been laid and first steel cuttings have been performed at Sedef shipyards. The F515, as...

Get your facts right please. Most Syrians are, as of March 2023, in İstanbul, Gaziantep, and Urfa. Then Hatay. Majority of the Syrian refugees that are housed in Hatay are the relatives of the Shia community of Hatay...

This is a news piece by a UK newspaper, once very reputable. But probably due to sharp decline in sales has lost a lot of ground and unfortunately resorted to making fantastic claims about parts being peppered with holes. New York Times makes a better and more reliable account of the whole...

We are doing guesswork here. Including Dr Aksit many people give different values of power ratings for the TS1400. But to have achieved an OEI 30 second power rating of 1740HP means that our TS1400 is actually developing more power than the LHTEC engine . TEI, on their site gives an OEI 30sec...

TS1400 is a 1400HP class turboshaft engine. Hence its specified safe continuous power delivery will be below 1400HP. But it’s safe 5 minute take off maximum power level will be around or may be slightly more than 1400HP. These engines are subjected to extreme power demands during take off and in...

https://www.defenceturk.net/tb3-siha-yerli-motor-ile-irtifa-rekoru-kirdi TB3 has surpassed its own previous altitude records by achieving to fly at an altitude of 36310ft at its 55th test flight. TEI’s PD-170 engine is behind the success of this new drone. It already has been integrated with the...

To me this is a fairly short sighted view of responding to a valid question; ‘Why did the Turks follow and adopt a religion that was predominantly forced on to them by Arabs 1400 years ago? ‘ You do not have to be an atheist to respond to that. Many members here, will have their own take on the...
