Initially that is what I thought too. But he mentions acceptance of delivery of a quantity of T-70 helicopters. Just listen carefully. 30th second: “çeşitli miktarlarda T-70 genel maksat helikopteri”

Easier said than done! Even a short range missile like Tayfun needs 456 seconds to travel 561 km. That time also includes the suppressed trajectory altitude it needs to get up to and down again to cover a straight line distance of 561km. The actual burn time of the fuel is very short. Not in...

Depends on when the second stage is activated. If it is activated in terminal phase, then the terminal speed will increase. But we know that all two stage ballistic missiles use up their fuel before they start their downward ballistic flight. So it will have no effect on terminal speed. (It is...

I fully agree with the first paragraph of your article. I could not have put it better myself. However there is a point that needs to be made clear regarding what you mention within second paragraph to do with ballistic missiles. That is the matter of “terminal velocity” . Terminal velocity is...

PEM Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell system is the technology behind the AIP system we have. This is a very specialised power generation system developed for power generation in submarines. Below is a simple explanation of it. A Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, also known as a...

May be one day! We haven’t even built a submarine that is totally indigenous to us yet. Let us walk before we run. VLS from a sub needs very sensitive know how and expertise. Although it is much more convenient to use VLS for surface attack missiles, for submarines’ core weapon, torpedoes, you...

In English there is a saying: “ how long is a piece of string?” When in the future? What version of Milden are we talking about? Current Milden design we have been served with, has no VLS available. It has 8 torpedo tubes with possibility to launch missiles through canisters fired from these...

SRBM missiles are best when they are manoeuvrable plus hypersonic in mid course and have a suppressed trajectory. Our Tayfun seems to have all these parameters. Only time such SRBMs can be efficiently intercepted is during terminal phase. So, for that reason, in order avoid interception, it...

This is how a solid fuelled ramjet, like in meteor, works. Yellow coloured solid solid fuel is stuck to the inner wall of the combustion chamber. Turquoise coloured solid fuel is the booster fuel that is used in bringing the missile to ramjet operational speeds. After expending the booster fuel...

Standard Gökhan must have a solid fuelled booster, to bring it to above Mach speed, to kick-start the ramjet engine. Most likely the solid fuel for booster is kept in the combustion chamber, like in meteor. Once depleted, the liquid/gel fuel should take over for propulsion and feed the ramjet...

Meteor : 365cm length Gokhan : ~510 cm length Meteor carries it’s solid fuel inside the combustion chamber, stuck to the periphery of the combustion chamber walls. By Tubitak director we have been told in the past that the Gökhan is liquid fuelled (gel form) . That means more space needed to...

Piaggio Group is a 2+billion Euro turnover giant. Its Aerospace subsidiary has been losing money; and filed in for bankruptcy. It has a turnover of 150million Euros with an order book of 500million Euros. It is this subsidiary they are selling. In a way the group is off loading loss creating...

Here is savunmasanayist’s take on it: https://www.savunmasanayist.com/suudi-arabistandan-100-adet-kaan-hedefi/ If Saudi military would go for KAAN, it would make life much easier for us. But we need to be cautious about it. Degree of involvement and how much say they want, is important.

Can please all members be more vigilant about what they share in the forum? If a video already have a flag that clearly shows “altered or synthetic content” , then it contains false information. Check to see if that news is correct or of a source that is dependable, before sharing it here.

Wow! So what diesel engine have we chosen for the remainder 7 ships? Wartsilla? Is that also going to be a problem for the soon to be produced TF2000 destroyer?

There is no precedent or law as such other than humanitarian conditions, that would stop us from repatriating refugees back to their countries. United Nations relevant laws clearly state that: For the millions of people forced to flee, returning home concludes an often traumatic time in exile...
