    There is so much talk and statements made by officials that the TB3 and/or KE will be taking off and landing on TCG Anadolu. Never mind these two totally different drones, there is also talk about Hurjet landing on this LHD as well.. If we look at the realities of TCG Anadolu; 1. We paid a...

    First of all. Akinci’s Aesa radar and the F16 Aesa radar are totally different in size. Akinci uses a smaller diameter Aesa radar. Even I. Demir mentioned this during one of his interviews. That means the number of T/R modules on the Akinci Aesa are a lot less than F16’s. F16 will probably have...

    Yes, the best time is when they just leave port or on the way to battle as they are altogether within a square km. Otherwise in battle formation they spread out, anything from 30 to 50 km apart. Some units even a 100 to 200 km away. In that case, out of a force of 7-8000 personnel, well over...

    Correct. 12 AI-35 engines were supposed to be purchased for initial prototype quantities. https://www.c4defence.com/en/gezgin-missile/

    A wow is a wow. Great work @Fuzuli NL . I knew we had a lot of stuff regarding unmanned equipment. But to see it all under one roof and being sooo many of them. Well it is a WOW! I know it is a very long post. But if it were a short one it wouldn’t have the same impact. If you feel it is...

Thanks to it’s small diameter the Engine turbine can achieve these high rotational speeds. They plan to deliver the first prototype to Roketsan next week...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    F135 in it’s latest guise is a 43000lbf thrust engine that creates so much heat that if the plane flies supersonic without afterburners with sustained speed for 30minutes or so, it could melt. Same is the case for using afterburners. Sustained usage of either is not advised. This is an engine...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    The only truly 5th generation fighter jet engine in operation is the F119. The rest are close approximations. From that perspective he is correct. If Kale/RR are really getting ready to develop a true 5th generation engine for us that will be some achievement.

    They are most useful in demolishing and erasing completely an entire carrier group with a single strike without much collateral damage as long as they are targeted away from ports. Therefore if your adversaries know that you have them, they will think twice before coming close to the vicinity...

    During the interview Mr Demir mentioned two very important points in between the lines: 1. Capabilities of the missiles are also being improved as well as sub systems (probably regarding seeker heads for moving targets, manoeuvrability and accuracy plus launch systems). 2. Speed of newer...

    As @Anmdt has explained if the missile is in space in an easterly launch, then it needs less speed to reach same distance. When placing a satellite in space, if you launch easterly, since earth rotates from west to east at 1000miles per hour, you don’t need as much speed as you would if you...

    If this TISU is going to be a bomber class plane, then it doesn’t need supersonic flight and wont be a fighter. More like a smaller, almost half size, version of the US‘s F-117 Skyhawk. Therefore it will be adequate to use a single non A/B TF6000 engine to give it the thrust it would require...

    Technically possible. It was even mentioned by Ismail Demir that our artillery rocket missiles now have 150km range. For a TRLG230, where you are lighting up with laser a target that is 30-40km inside enemy territory, and firing at it 30km behind the battle front, is a perfectly doable feat. Yet...

    Finland calls on Türkiye, Hungary to approve NATO bid

    Having attended many meetings with Europeans over a period of 25 years since 1990’s, one becomes a good judge and reader of body-language. During the last meeting our discussion committees have had with the Swedes and the Finns, what I could read was: “Look at this situation! We are having to...
