There are those that believe that electronics and modern avionics accompanied by a good Aesa radar is what makes a good fighter jet; irrespective of how new or old the plane is. When you think that a twin turbojet engine powered F4 Phantom broke the world altitude record of 98557ft in 1959 and...

T-38s aren’t bad planes to be trained on. Also there should be a few Hurjet planes ready to be trained on by 2028, as 12 initial orders were already placed with Tusas last year. Low level initial production should provide early examples of Hurjet trainers. There were 42 members of our airforce...

Base bleed and rocket assisted shells are quite different. Base bleed works in a totally different manner to rocket assisted shells. Base bleed is there to increase range, typically by about 20–35%. It expels gas into the low pressure area behind the shell to reduce base drag (it does not...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/rooivalk-taarruz-helikopterinde-aselsan-aviyonikleri/ There was a time when we were asking countries like S Africa to provide us with new attack helicopters our armed forces were in need of. Rooivalk helicopter was one of the contenders before T129 Atak was...

There is an alternative to depleted Uranium made from an exotic alloy of Tungsten. Shells made from it sharpen as it hits target and it is pyrophoric (burns as it loses cohesion) US is working on it to replace the Depleted Uranium shells. Since Tungsten is not radioactive it is safer for those...

3000m/sec muzzle velocity means almost 9 Mach. BAE’s Hyper Velocity Projectile project achieves close to this sort of speeds with 127mm and 155mm rounds with precision guidance. They use specially designed projectiles with extra low drag. Short of electromagnetic propulsion/rail gun , it is not...

Our hearts say that; and from tech point of view, EF2000 , especially the tranche 4 with the hybrid Aesa radar, is the far better plane. Qatar paid 6 billion dollars for 24 planes. That is 250 million dollar a piece. Can we really afford that? The only way we can buy those planes is to sign a...

Rolls Royce being a leader in Jet Engine development and innovation is among the top 3 such manufacturers in the world; Together with GE and P&W. Having not done enough to form an alliance with such a high tech company for our TFX project is a sore point in our defence politics. This is a...

If you check the latest versions of Excalibur, you will find ranges of 70 km. They too are guided by small fins. First 155mm L39 guns achieved a CEP of 5m and 40+km range. Then with L52 guns they reached 56km range. Latest news coming from BAE were 43.5 miles (70km) precision strikes with...

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...
