According to TurDef article it is faster than Stinger. quote: SUNGUR is a new generation MANPADS fitted with IIR guidance. The missile was first fired from a BMC VURAN 4x4 tactical wheeled vehicle’s turreted 2x2 launcher. SUNGUR was later tested in shoulder-fired configuration, shooting down a...

2.2+ Mach speed according to below magazine. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/sungur-a-real-4th-generation-manpads-4254#:~:text=I%20think%20that%20the%20SUNGUR,least%203kg%20like%20the%20Stinger.

Well according to the above magazine excerpt, it has a double pulse engine. I would have thought like you and said it wouldn’t need a double pulse and dual thrust would have sufficed. But apparently we have chosen a double pulse engine for our BVR missile.

The Aim120 missiles are all boost+sustain mode (dual thrust) operation missiles. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/weapons-platforms/aim-120/ There was a development work re dual pulse. But if memory serves, it only was planned to be used in Aim 260 which has boost+cruise+boost mode of operation.

Sorry to be a bit pedantic . But this post isn’t very explanatory of Gokdogan as it is contradictory in it self and doesn’t really explain what you are really trying to convey. Gokdogan is a BVR air to air missile specifically produced to replace our Aim120 AMRAAM series. Unlike the Aim120 that...

Apart from the TCG Anadolu, which is in reality a Landing Helicopter Dock and a Naval Assault Ship, any new "full spec carrier" of Turkish Navy, will only be available, post 2035 at best. By then we will have mastered unmanned aircraft building to the letter. Most likely ahead of everyone else...

Everyone please calm down. @Dosirak is asking and pointing out questions that need to be clarified. Please reply amicably to the questions.

As I previously mentioned here, Anka 3 is a flying wing. If you try to go supersonic you need to heavily compromise it's structural integrity by making the wings very thin. From engineering aspect it is just not feasible. A supersonic Anka 4 is either a very different plane with vertical...

Great news that we are turning these cheap artillery rockets in to easily expendable air to ground precision strike guided missiles. There is one more in the range waiting to be incorporated in to the fold: TRG-300 . It has two versions ; one with 180kg explosives, weighing 660kg, another with...

Great news ! Finally a first firing of our first turbofan. Congratulation to all that had a a hand in it. As per Dr Akşit's previous statements, this engine probably has a lot less thrust than the aimed 6000lbf in dry thrust. It will take time to develop it in to a 6000lbf engine that can fly...

This Isn’t necessarily how Levent is but it should give you an idea of how a dual mode seeker innards work. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10539396B1/en

If we look at the Levent Missile carefully, the two sets of canards it has puts it in a different category of missile we have produced until today. The front canards after swinging open are actually stationary and do not move. These are fixed while the second set can move to give directional...

I don’t think I was being optimistic in my post as the operative word there is freely . Don’t underestimate financial deals Turkey can muster and pull out of the bag when push comes to shove. We were prepared to do a similar deal with Pakistani T-129 sale, had it not been hampered by the US due...

T-50 jets sold to S Korean armed forces have a price tag of around 40-45 million dollar a piece. But the Polish are paying 2.3 billion for 36 T-50 planes . So export cost , probably including ammo and parts etc is around 80-85 million a piece. Hurjet, when ready for export in both armed and...

This is a very important piece of hardware news. Another US/Germany reliant weapon system bites the dust for Turkish Armed Forces. There were rumours last year that our Ada class corvettes were sailing with some of their RAM canisters empty because US were refusing sale of replacement missiles...

Please stay on topic. All off topic posts are deleted and will attract warning points.

As long as Turkey assumes, the roll of USA in JSF , in KAAN project with multiple so called “partners” , whereby the main reins/strings are in our hands, more the merrier. This is an expensive endeavour we are undertaking. To make it worth it‘s while will need partners.

Exactly! He is a political analyst who jumps on any good piece of news that can damage the other/opposite political side, without actually investigating, and without truly knowing the ins and outs of the subject he is talking about. Instead of sticking to what he does best as a political...

https://defencehub.live/threads/propulsion-systems.3/page-140#post-302397 Please read @Cabatli_TR 's post #2797 in above page if you are questioning the 2028 deadline for TF-35000 engine. With that consortium that contains RR in design stage, there is a good chance that the engine will...

Quote: Stage two of the first phase is now under way, the challenging timelines so far having been facilitated through the use of a ‘digital twin’, using the Dassault Systemes’ 3DExperience product lifecycle management (PLM) platform. Unquote. This has been the extent of the Dassault input to...
