It isn’t totally rubbish! 1. Almost all missiles are intercept-able. 2. Don’t believe everything Russians claim about Iskander. Yes it is 90cm diameter 4 ton missile. But it’s hypersonic speed hype is a bit far fetched. 3. Barak 8 is a very modern and specially designed missile, with dual pulse...

Yes. This type of manoeuvring as well as sideways like Atmaca does.

Since Tayfun is derived from Bora, it is logical to assume that they are of the same ilk. And they follow similar trajectories. Bora is a Quasi-Ballistic missile. It’s trajectory is suppressed. So should Tayfun’s be. Keeping trajectories suppressed improves the missile’s survivability. It also...

Speed of Tayfun missile questions The only data we have in our hands of this missile is the fact that it flew for 458seconds the distance of 561km. That gives us an average speed of 3.6 Mach for this missile. A short range ballistic missile of this ilk gains speed and altitude very quickly and...

With a diameter of 600mm to achieve long range you need to extend the length of the missile if you can’t improve fuel quality and also decrease weight of the actual missile. We know that Roketsan has been improving fuel quality and use of composite materials has improved weight deficit of these...

Great news! But I am still holding back until we have the Murad Aesa radar on our first F16. At the moment all these statements mean little. We need action. “Will” , Shall” , “going to” are not enough. Tayfun is going to cause tremors in our enemies hearts. But Murad fitted F16 with extended...

As per @Anmdt ’s suggestion regarding carrying a message, I think (2 x280) + 1 means few more things: - If you measure a crows flight distance from Izmir for 561km, it covers the total of Greek mainland, most of their Adriatic waters and more. - +1 also means that It‘s total range is more than...

That is an average of 3.6mach speed. This sounds like the missile what @Cabatli_TR was mentioning 2-3 years ago regarding a 500+ km range Bora2 that would hit moving sea targets. I guess they made such modifications and alterations to that missile so as to warrant a new name. This would hit...

Firstly @dBSPL , I think you have shared the wrong source for your post. Something tells me it should be this one. Nevertheless, the news itself is fantastic. That means that we are showing the US the two fingers and getting on with our own modernisation program. However without the Aesa radar...

The actual anecdote Temel Kotil has shared is very interesting: “Gokbey helicopter‘s transmission needed to be produced. We had to go back and forth many times to Germany to get this produced. In the end when we realised that they were not making the transmission, we manufactured it...

Modern aircraft injection is a must for our airforce. Like all planes Typhoons have weaknesses and problems. But in essence they are the best 4++ generation fighter jets around in their latest guise being prepared for RAF. If you read the second part of my post #1249 on this page, you will see...

It all depends on how much of TFX stealth know how has been shared with Baykar. Delta wing and overall stealthy appearance and flat looking surfaces shout that this is a stealthy plane. I Sunnetci, who has good access to many a secretive information, has stated that “KE should have better RCS...

My own opinion. But from what the general was saying I can gather that desperation can push TuAF in to doing things that are out of the given confines of logic. If situation with Typhoon doesn‘t work out, he was trying to make a point that we are not without options. It was the same general who...

Just listened to retired Air Pilot General Karakus on a TV program. According to what he says, TuAF is contemplating keeping the 54 F4 phantom Terminators until 2040s by renovating them further. Since through Terminator 2020 modernisation it’s engines were upgraded to give 2.5 Mach maximum...

Yes apparently, the Aesa radar developed by Aselsan was delivered to be integrated on to a platform for testing according to news published on 11th August 2022. According to the same news piece, I Demir had mentioned that it would be flying, fitted to Akinci within this year. As you rightfully...

https://eurasiantimes.com/biggest-upgrade-in-history-russia-to-reactivate-800-cold-war-era-t-62-tanks-amid-depleting-arsenal/?amp I thought Russia had 10s of thousands of tanks in reserve. First they are asking Belarus to provide T72s and now getting ready to modernise 800 T62 relics in the next...

Özgür project, as the name suggests is there to turn our F16s totally free from US control with respect to avionics and weapons. It also includes having our flight control computer installed in the planes. This way plane becomes liberated. It has been completed apart from the Aesa radar Aselsan...
