Helicopters like Seahawks for combatant vessels are essentially what gives them top end destructive assault capability when it comes to ASW , ASUW and EW. As mentioned by @Anmdt , as well as their electronics and EW suites, their missile and light torpedo carrying capabilities et al are all...

Please see my Edit Previous article clearly says 197000 dollars includes CLU

Just to add; https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2022/12/19/bang-for-your-buck-does-a-javelin-missile-really-cost-as-much-as-a-ferrari/# US ‘s Javelin costs 197884 dollars a piece according to above site. That does include the Command Launch Unit too; which is estimated at around 80000...

First F404 engines used in Hornets were tested by NASA and the paperwork mentions 770-800degrees Centigrade TIT values. If I remember correctly they did not have FADEC either and had a thrust level of just over 16000lbf. Since then they have undergone many modifications whereby thrust levels...

TS1400 turbo shaft turbine inlet temperatures should not be too high. LHTEC CTS800 engine (ts1400 was based on the same radial flow design) has a TIT of 1050 degrees. When TS1400 was first made, to stress on the single crystals used, it was mentioned that the TIT could go as high as 1350...

F404 has a 3 stage Low Pressure fan section. That means a lot of air is pushed in to the 7 stage High Pressure compressor. It has very different structure to our TF6K. It has proven itself as a good stealth plane engine - re: F117 Nighthawk. It generates 11000lbf dry thrust. Nevertheless it is...

https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/internal-layout-of-tei-tf6000-a-low-bypass-turbofan-engine-5301 There is a lot of good information here about the innards of TF6000. This is definitely a very modern engine using the latest innovative technologies short of Ceramic Matrix Composites. It’s...

During the last few days it has been brought to attention that some members seem to persistently stray from the main topic of threads - a good example being Turkish Politics and Kaan F16 Ozgur Hurjet Threads- resulting in derailment of threads from their main topics. We have threads where all...

Can we get back to topic please? Enough about unnecessary information not related to this thread.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aselsan-genel-muduru-akyoldan-kritik-aesa-radar-aciklamasi/ Aselsan’s managing director Ahmet Akyol, has stated that the Murad Aesa radar is being integrated in to our manned and unmanned platforms as of now. Soon we will have aircrafts that will be flying our...

Happy victory days to all Turkish members. Our highest gratitudes go to to the Father of Turks , Mustafa Kemal who with his ingenious tactics defeated the invading forces and gave us this land we live in.

ASW is an important subject when it comes to protecting assets like TCG Anadolu. For that, at least one Reis Class will have to be assigned to the ship at all times. But also good sensors and sonars are needed on board. When it comes to actual ASW, you can not beat the power of a Helicopter like...

There is an order for Hurjet , 4 definite and 12 on option placed with Tusas. But it is only a start. If it is true that Tusas has ordered 100 F404 engines, that means more orders will come. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tusasa-412-adet-hurjet-siparisi/...

I fully agree with you. This ship is naked when it comes to self protection. Couple of Phalanx will never cut it. It needs on board protection at a level that is commensurate with a vessel of this stature. Goksur is a good close-in-weapons system. Its designers are very confident that they can...

In order to understand this fully, you need to have a good grasp of burnout and egress effects of dorsal fins on a missile. Just by enlarging or bringing it close to vector control fins you would alter the response of the missile positively or negatively with respect to egress or burnout. By...

All our new air defence missiles, be it Hisar or Siper, have dual pulse rocket engines. By that logic I would expect Siper Block 2 to have a dual pulse motor. If you look at latest MIM-4 PAC-3 MSE rocket engine; It utilises a dual pulse motor. Where as PAC-2 had a dual thrust (boost-sustain...

@uçuyorum , Please don’t be misguided by trick explanations and descriptions regarding rocket stages. If you do not take in to account the booster section, Siper Block 1 also has a single stage rocket engine. Dual pulse (using the fuel tank in two stages) or dual thrust (using two different...

The Rail gun has one very big advantage ; low cost of it’s projectiles. But it has many major disadvantages at our current technological state : 1. It almost destroys the gun’s inner parts after each firing. Needs constant maintenance. 2. The amount of energy needed to fire each shot is so large...

What is a more useful measure to judge a nation's economy: GDP (nominal) or GDP (PPP) : Well, it depends on the situation and what you are trying to measure: For year-over-year growth comparisons, always go with PPP. For countries where economic activity is mostly domestic (e.g. China and...

100% correct. In Turkish language there is no specific difference. However, in mass production, the production of article in question is continuous. In serial production, a specific batch of goods is produced, then there is a downtime. After the downtime, production system may be altered or...
