https://2017-2021.state.gov/the-united-states-sanctions-turkey-under-caatsa-231/index.html The Caatsa paper clearly states asset freeze and visa restrictions on individuals as well as the position they hold in the last sentence of first paragraph. Yes. The sanctions are there for the position...

“The MMU engine in this program is planned as long term project”. I wonder when this article was published? Even our Mahmut Aksit had quoted a 14 year timeline for a new jet engine. But that was from day zero onwards. Having produced TS1400 and an almost completed TF6000, this time line now...

At the moment the first target is to produce the TF6000 engine with a dry thrust level of at least 6000lbf. Also add to it an afterburner to augment thrust to 10000lbf. We don’t know if TEI is producing the TF6000 with enough durability to accommodate an afterburner. Hopefully they are...

Let us look at Japan’s XF9 engine produced as a prototype by IHI corporation. This engine uses Blisk fans and Blisk compressors to improve weight and performance. It has a much improved patented fuel delivery system in the combustor that gives more even heat distribution in chamber. It has high...

https://www.defenceturk.net/roketsan-tayfun-balistik-fuze-seri-uretimde Few important bullet points made by Roketsan MD : 1. Tayfun is now in serial production line. Due to being totally indigenous, we can produce as many and as often as the need arises. 2. Tayfun can reach above atmospheric...

Ivchenko Progress was asked by TRMotor, to design an APU for KAAN-TFX. It is most likely that their input is limited with that contribution. I honestly can’t see a company that has no working engines that they may have designed since Soviet era, to be able to contribute anything to a design that...

It would be really interesting to see what Ivchenko Progress is proposing. 1. They do not have a manufacturing facility. 2. They have never worked with single crystal and 3D technologies. 3. They have never helped build a military engine that has more than 6000lbf dry thrust. Motor Sich has...

Please stay on topic. This is TF-X KAAN | F-16 Özgür | Hürjet | Hürkuş - Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects Thread. Keep political and geopolitical discussions away from this thread.

Regarding Nuclear Warheads, there are couple of points that need to be remembered when discussing them. “Nuclear” is a big umbrella which covers a number of different technologies. As the weapons go there are : 1. Atom Bomb (like the ones detonated in Japan) 2. Hydrogen Bomb. An atomic bomb is...

The whole idea of F35B was revolving around the notion of producing a supersonic replacement of Harriers. UK planes were very difficult to fly. If you listen to F35B pilots now, you will hear nothing but praise about the way these new planes handle themselves especially when they are compared to...

If we are not going to furnish a MRBM with a nuclear warhead, it is irrelevant and waste of money to send it 1000+km away , especially if it is closer to 3000km away. To convey a typically 450-600kg warhead to that sort of distance, is cheaper by an aircraft. But if we have a really heavy...

Yes. But if you watch the actual launching of the missile video, the canisters are different. This is supposedly the second and latest launch. This is the first launch. The canisters are longer but different in both. SSB and Roketsan are trying to confuse us. Mixing Bora and Tayfun launch videos.

The top one could be Bora canister. Not Tayfun. If you check below picture shared by Kaan Azman on twitter, they are different size canisters. Taking the hydrolic lift mechanism as same he has extrapolated measurements too; as shared by @Al Lablabi here.

These are all ballistic (moving under the force of gravity only) missiles during their downward and terminal stages of flight. What we think we have observed here, is a greatly suppressed trajectory during the initial launch stage. It looks like a very potent missile with a lot of energy and...

I assume you mean upgrade kits for F16 planes. (Please clarify if not) If all parts used in modernisation kits are indigenously manufactured, then may be. Albeit an export version. (You do not want other countries having access to your top technology) All equipment manufactured in house may have...

Most of us would like to see that. But…. I am no naval engineer. But there is a fine balance that needs to be adhered to, when designing a warship that can sail and float with stability. Weight, draft, length and beam of a hull have to be considered as dependent on each other within reason when...

If looked in detail this plane can take off from a strip that is 122m long when it is empty. But it needs a runway of 152m to land. If it has payload when landing it will need a much longer landing strip. If it has full payload it needs a runway of 304m for take off, and if it has fuel for long...

Unless we are going to produce a cruise missile with a range in excess of 1200km, using a turbojet engine to propel the cruise missile is sufficient. Turbofan engines are more expensive to manufacture, and a turbojet that is optimised for lower altitude, long distance flight (up to around...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/f-16-ozgurden-atmaca-ve-gezgin-fuzesi-atilabilecek/ Good news about using more of our indigenously produced weapons on our air platforms. But it is becoming very tiresome to read a lot of will, shall, going tos. The last two paragraphs of the above article is most...

Check out my post on https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-air-force-news-discussion.2740/page-89#post-245400 page 89 post#1761 Additionally stealth parameters will be much improved. Due to extensive and effective use of directed energy weapons, very large power generation will be a prerequisite.
