Bozdoğan is not a small missile and its canister can't be small either. It has double the weight of Levent missile and 30kg heavier than MBDA VL Mica missile. It should be compared to VL Mica.
TEI General Manager Mahmut Faruk Akşit:
Domestic engines developed for UAV and helicopter engines started mass production (He is talking about PD series and T700)
We can make the TF6000 flight-ready immediately, but the need is for the TF10000. Work is progressing faster than expected (Very...
Yeah, it is guesswork. Even at sea level, I think the missile will have a higher speed than Mach 2. Even the ramjet cruise missiles fly over Mach 2 at sea level.
The latest schedule of the national engine for KAAN
The first engine delivery for integration Q4 2028- Q2 2029 (integration prototype)
The first flight with the national engine Q4 2029-Q2 2030. (flight prototype)
The flight testing is expected to take 2 years so we will likely see the first KAAN...
The real scandal is that there are no political parties in Turkiye other than the Zafer party and some small political parties that are against the renewed peace process. MHP, AKP, CHP, YRP, DEVA, and GELECEK all agreed on that.
The good part is Tayfun is an affordable missile. It is cost-effective to deploy Tayfun against anti-ballistic missile systems and ships. It is a tactical missile that punches way above its weight with a 700+ km range. 1000km variant will be a strawberry on top of the cake.
Yes, those who follow this forum already know about Roketsan's antiship ballistic missile research. We discussed that in the past. Many things will be unveiled in a few years noone can hide something for too long.
AKP is digging its own grave. People are fed up with this kind of FETO/Gulenist operations. AKP is using the exact same methods as Gulenists. This is a huge mistake.
This is a good development hopefully it will further boost the popularity of him and his party. AKP is losing control because polls are not good for them. AKP lost another 4 points due to the renewed peace process. Ekrem İmamoğlu might also be taken into custody.
Who did this? This is different from what I expect from TF-35000. For example, I expect a bypass ratio of around 0.7. 0.8 to 1.2 is too high. TF-35000 won't have a thrust lower than 36000 lbf ( It will have a wet thrust somewhere between 160 to 170 kN/36000 to 38000 lbf)
3 I don't want to tell this here but Turkiye is in a backdoor diplomacy process with the Chinese through Pakistan for a backup plan. If the US refuses to supply F110 Turkiye wants to secure Chinese engines at least for Pakistan but Turkiye also evaluates a doomsday scenario in which the US...
There are two different tenders. Development tender and production tender. TRMotor won the first one and IP rights will be owned by TRMotor. Both TRMotor and TEI(Majority shares) are owned by TUSAS so TUSAS is developing its own engine for its own product. TEI is a critical technology provider...
