One of the highlights of the last fair was the MKE’s precision guided kits for the 155mm artillery shells. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/mkeden-155mm-gudumlu-obus-muhimmati-surprizi/ However the 50m CEP value given by MKE seems rather a high figure. Also there was no indication about the...

Simply put; When a turbofan jet engine works in lower atmosphere it needs air going through it. To achieve high thrust levels you need a lot of air being pushed out of the nozzles. With bypass turbofan engines, some of the the air being pulled in and pushed in to the high pressure compressors...

@Agha Sher , @TheInsider has explained it fairly well. This is mega news! Just to add; What is super conductivity? That is what one needs to know first. It is the point where a conductor carrying direct current electricity, has near zero resistance. To achieve this with current technology...

Before we go into details lets first get the terminology right. A Vertical Launch System consists of modules with a number of cells These modules can be in cells of 8,16,32 or 64 . Or it can be any number of cells that fits in to the hull of the ship if it is a naval platform using it. These...

Please share innovative up and coming new technologies all things related to Chip Manufacturing and developing techniques, in this thread.

Umtas specifications indicate a flight envelope that covers wide off boresight target acquisition. Our new longer range version of this missile, most likely, will also have the same capability. These missiles are fire and forget type missiles. Sungur is also a fire and forget type missile...

Great news! Much needed movement in business. But it is important to know the details of the agreement. This is most likely not hard cash injection in to economy. But a series of business transactions over a given time that will benefit number of areas, be it industrial or economic or even...

When tested in 2021, Bozdogan did not have data link capability. But was planned to have it when it was time for serial production. Also LOAL (Lock On After Launch) capability will be imparted to Bozdogan, increasing its engagement range. Having a comprehensive off-boresight firing capability...

Turkish RAM replacement, most probably won’t have a rolling airframe. The only reason the US RAM rolls around its axis is because the interferometer it has on board can only work on one plane. By rotating the missile they achieve 360degree coverage for the dual IR seeker. Turkish one will have 4...

We discussed this previously and @Anmdt made it quite clear that as Milgem program goes, I-Class is the limit. Any bigger, heavier and wider or deeper it will not be I-Class/Milgem. But a different class of ship. https://defencehub.live/threads/navy-news-and-discussions.155/page-31#post-264205...

Aselsan is a stock exchange listed company. It has to reveal every transaction. They have released within that scope that they have signed a deal worth around 2 billion dollars worth with TUSAS. https://www.kap.org.tr/tr/Bildirim/1171374 At the bottom of this official file it is clearly stated...

Gabya Class Frigates are 135 metre long 4100 ton ships they are full of combat hardware. After the modernisations they have gone through, they are also the most capable air defence frigates we have in our fleet. However only 4 of them have the VLS system that can utilise quad pack ESSMs. I-Class...

@Nutuk , I think you will find that with twin engined jet propulsion, both engines rotate in the same direction. If memory serves it is generally anti clockwise looking at the engine from the front. Yet almost all RR engines and CFM engines rotate clockwise. Almost all GE and P&W engines rotate...

GaN's high power density, or its ability to dissipate heat from a small package, makes it so impressive. While GaAs has a basic power density of about 1.5 W/mm, GaN has a power density ranging from 5 to 12 W/mm. GaN has higher electron mobility than GaAs and other semiconductors, so it has a...

As per @Radonsider ’s response it is to do with the electric generator. Although @Nilgiri can answer this better. However UAE wanted better radar on their f16s and also more raw power for the plane. Hence they have paid over 3 billion dollars for the development of f110GE132 engines to GE.

AN/APG-83, the SABR Scalable Agile Beam Radar is a specially developed radar that uses as much energy as it is asked for. That way its energy consumption is regulated and kept low enough so as not to be a burden on the F16’s power generation systems. It is also designed so that it can almost be...

As far as I know Greek Airforce does not have the AIM-120/D missiles. It is the C version that both Turkish and Greek airforces have. Greek airforce Rafale’s however, are to have the MBDA’s game changer Meteor air to air missiles. If any of them have been delivered by MBDA is not clarified yet.

Let’s elaborate on your rough calculations: According to official US defence sources the cost of Greece’s 123 plane upgrade kit will cost them 2.4 billion dollars. This includes 125 Aesa radars and 123 kits of avionics etc...

Great post to get the juices flowing. @Anmdt has made it clear that squeezing anything bigger and more than an Istif class out of the current Milgem Ada Class is out of the question, unless the design is altered substantially, effectively creating a different breed of ship altogether. We all...

Super Simsek does not land in a conventional manner. Like its smaller sibling it can come back to base and do a parachute landing. So if launched from a ship, it will return and land close by at sea where it can be recovered from. There are also studies about recovering it from air with a C130...
