Today is a day to be proud, for all us Turks. Finally our big bird took to the skies. Now the real race starts. We need this bird to go through all those tests that lie ahead with flying colours and in a time like yesterday.

Although you may have a valid point , please don’t discard the fact that Sea harriers have a weapons payload of max 3600kg. And they performed extremely well as a light attack naval aircraft in various instances; one of which was in Falklands. So don’t under estimate a Hurjet with a 3 ton...

Apart from one word (stealth) I agree with your comment. I can’t see KAAN becoming a naval asset. It is just too complicated, expensive and big to be navalised. We need to walk before we run. May be after Hurjet is adapted in to a naval form at a later date a version of KAAN may be inducted to...

Beka means "survivability". That missile looks like Cenk missile. That is probably a media orientated introductory newspiece picture of Cenk missile. Cenk missile is supposedly 1000+ km range MRBM. A first officially stated medium range ballistic missile produced by Turkey.

KAAN is still a work in progress that hasn't even flown yet. After that, it still has to go through thousands of tests, integration of electronics, sensors, radars, avionics. There will be 14 prototypes built to carry out these tests. After this there will be a process of indigenous engine...

The TS1400 is a radial flow turboshaft engine. Radial flow engines best work with single stage compressors; and are limited to maximum two stage compressors. The TS1400 is at this limit. There isn't much room for attaining any more meaningful power from this engine. The T700TEI701D engine that...

Every now and then our members are mentioning Anka-4. We know of Anka-3 being a flying wing. Can you or anyone else enlighten us what Anka-4 is please?

With all due respect, according to the limited information released on this missile : Quote: Fatah-II seems to be a two-round G-MLRS, based on the video released by Pakistan's military media wing. The rocket is “equipped with ... Unquote. In other words two-round Guided Multiple Launch Rocket...

Looking at this missile on the surface, it is similar to Bora. Bora made for TAF has a 360+km range. We have seen in at least two firing videos how accurate it is as it hit it's targets with precision within less than a meter. FATAH-2 uses Sat/nav and INS for precision strikes. We all know how...

Murad is an unknown entity. And it should stay as one to keep its edge. Being built on GaN based T/R module architecture, logically, it should be superior to the SABR as the latter is built as a compromise unit to fit in to F16 specifically; in terms of size and power consumption, avionics match...

There seems to be something wrong in this calculation. For starters, the AMRAAM C8 is nearly 3million dollars a piece. Germany bought 969 of these for 2.9 billion dollars. https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/germany-aim-120c-8-advanced-medium-range-air-air-missiles-amraam Greek...

Happy Republic day to all Indian members. Happy Republic day to the largest democracy in the world.

Early last year, TÜBİTAK Sage's then MD had stated that they had already performed well over 200 tests with the Gokhan. So logically it shouldn't be too long before we hear about a successful test firing of Gokhan; if it hasn't already been done in the absence of prying eyes. Being a Gel based...

Standard PrSM missile US is testing is no different in size; but about a foot longer than the ATACAMS-140 missile. Somehow they have attained a very high speed (just under 5 Mach) and nearly 200km extra range with the PrSM. But still due to being a semi ballistic missile it will lose a lot of...

First of all, it has to be known that the engine that is named in the media as TF35000, is being developed for KAAN as a high dry thrust engine. Since the TEI MD himself announced that TEI could develop an engine similar to F119, we automatically expect a 26000lbf dry thrust and 35000lbf wet...

I am afraid I don’t fully agree with you about the above statement. It is always wrong to buy ANY military equipment from a foreign source. But as a country with no military industry foundation, we have been buying planes , ships tanks from the west since the end of Second World War. In fact we...
