According to media sources, Omani Typhoons being Tranche-3 were programmed to upgrade to ECRS-MK2 radar. If, somehow Türkiye manages to buy Qatari Typhoons and a quantity from Oman, then in due course as our new production Typhoons start to join the fleet, the older ones can be upgraded to...

I agree with @TR_123456 about his comment on the KE being a joke with the current engines. KE need TF6000 at least. But definitely TF10000 to come to fruition. Anka-3 too needs TF6000 to perform as a 5th generation stealth plane. It may even benefit from using TF10000 if heavier take off loads...

If at the top right edge we are seeing Crimean peninsula, Sebastopol to Istanbul is ~345km. So by comparison it has to be 160 Nautical Miles from where the KE is.

https://www.atasehirweb.com/asker/turkiyenin-ilk-f-16-ozgur-ucagi-gokyuzuyle-bulustu-h47300.html I don’t know if this was posted here before. But according to this news piece the first Ozgur F16 that has Murad Aesa radar is now flying under tail no 87-0019. The plan is to furnish all Block-30...

https://turdef.com/article/submarine-launched-atmaca-hits-moving-and-static-targets Submarine launched Atmaca, also-known-as Akata , has been successfully launched, hitting moving sea targets and stationary land targets. This has shown that the Akata missile can be used as an anti ship missile...

You are correct. Although it says “Tübitak Hedef Uçak” on the wings of the target plane, a little investigation proved that Tubitak uses Banshee target planes for these tests. Banshee wingspan is 249cm. About 90cm more than the Simsek. That would make the nose to be under 25cm and the main...

Wing span of our Simsek target plane is around 1.6metres. Looking at this picture and measuring it pro-rata with an engineer’s protractor ; the nose portion can not be more than 15cm wide. Its fuselage width is probably under 25cm. An F16 fuselage at it’s widest, is over 3.1 metres, and where...

Can you please share the real source (DGMO statement) rather than a twitter Message which is no more than hearsay. I can’t find any source to support your post. On the contrary there are messages from Indian Chief of Staff and others that says the opposite. Here is a briefing by a top DGMO...

Just a quick question: What is Armenian flag doing there? They are land locked. No Navy!! (reminded me of the UK comedy “open all hours” of Ronnie Barker, who always told his illegitimate nephew that his father was in Hungarian Navy!)

A fighter jet is as good as the airframe design it has. Gripen airframe is really good. Akaer of Brazil has been quite instrumental and key partner in the design of Gripen. They were also involved in Hürjet’s airframe. Engine is important. But the supersonic flight, especially as the plane...

My bad. Should have read the post again . It is a mistake. Skyceptor missile produced by Raytheon not seaceptor https://www.deagel.com/Weapons/Stunner/a000918 Can you share that data sheet please? Because none of the Roketsan paperwork states any speed related to these missiles. Technically...

T7 RedHawks, initially designed to be supersonic (1.3 Mach). But now slated as a 0.975 Mach subsonic trainer. It has a GEF404 engine on it to carry it to supersonic speeds. But it still has not yet materialised as one. It may have something to do with high g training it is supposed to give...

What source do you have regarding Hisar class missiles’ speeds? This is a closely guarded secret, and never been openly discussed. When they were being developed it was mentioned that they were 3+ Mach missiles. (See below article.) Some article somewhere may have mentioned 2mach speed and it...

Jet engines are not cheap. Then there are two of them here. Couldn’t they find a single engine to fly 120kg to ~350km away at 500km/hr? I wonder which jet engines they will use to propel this kamikaze UAV? 25k of explosives is not too bad. But then it is about the explosive content in 4 x 155mm...

Years is very open ended. 2 to 9 years qualify the statement you’ve made. If they allocate the right resources, Anka3 will definitely be ready in under 3 years, if not quicker. The only parameter that will hold it back is the TF6000. KE should follow Anka3 once the TF10000 is ready. So in...

https://www.military.africa/2025/09/rsf-shoots-down-sudans-third-akinci-drone/ If you sell these drones to countries that don’t have a modern airforce and they try to utilise them like modern attack fighters, this is what you get. Even some rebels now have alr defence missiles. Also countries...

Eren, as far as I know, is propelled by a jet engine and has a speed of around 550-650km/hour. It could definitely be used against relatively slower cruise missiles and some air platforms like helicopters and UAVs, if as you say, is precise enough. Logically Turbo Jet engine propulsion should be...

This is great news for our sea platforms. As you rightfully point out it will also be used as a PDMS with 20 missiles and with an effective range of 15km to replace the RAM missile systems US were so reluctant to supply to us. Since it is using a missile derived from Bozdogan WVR a2a missile, it...

WS10,WS15 and all their siblings are engines developed from taking Russian AL31 class engines as a model and starting point. Chinese have had help from Safran as well in their quest for jet engine manufacturing. There is a crux where you hit the right note in engineering. Due to the deficiencies...

@TR_123456 and @Sanchez bros, You are both correct. The number of these UCAVs sold is a testament to its name. Thanks to the crappy Russian AD systems, it dominated the skies and made mince meat out of the Russian AD systems and Russian armour on the ground. As the Russians started to plug...
