They give all these different weights to confuse us. 😂 In another document it says Tolun’s weight is 135kg. But in IIR form it says it weighs 120kg. So since this is a missile under development and progress, one can expect a weight variation of +/- few kg. (Fuel, explosives, seeker type and use...

You are correct. Firing speed is slower. But then again Firtina-1 has a firing mode of 3 shells in 15 seconds with different elevations that allows it to hit same target at the same time. In reality it can fire 3 rounds in 15 seconds. However, the more you fire in succession the quicker you...

Air defence systems are a must. We know that. But how good are they? Israel boasts that their Iron dome is 85% efficient. Yet in reality this is lower. So much so that after the recent events, Israel refuses to give figures about the interception efficacy of their system...

It has to be remembered that the Hisar Class ships are designed with the concept of Fitted But Not With . In other words, they are clean slates ready to receive additions. Hence their initial costs were in the region of 110-120 million dollars each when they were being conceived. (That may have...

https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/atmaca-anti-ship-missile-preps-for-serial-production-4250 If you read the above news piece, you will see that Atmaca anti ship missile, in 2020, has managed to hit a surface target from considerably high range with perfect accuracy without using GPS. This...

What has this got to do with what you were asking? I gave you physical prices of UK‘s water and gas per m3. That has enough evidence to answer your query. Waste water constitutes approximately 35% of the bill you have shared. If you take that out of the bill ; you end up with a similar ratio of...

Bro, you will find that the only reason a RAM rotates around its axis is because, the two antennae in front of the seeker head gives a 2 dimensional view. By rotating the missile, the RF tracking system that uses a twin-antenna interferometer that can measure phase interference of the...

1m3 of water weighs ~1000kg. 1m3 of natural gas weighs less than 8.3 kg. In UK 1m3 of gas is ~ 0.55gbp But 1m3 of water is ~1.80gbp So I guess that gives some perspective also pls do not exaggerate. Your example shows 5.9 times. Not 10. within the water bill you have shared there’s is waste...

According to Tolga Özbek’s YouTube message (after 27.05 min), NewYork Times erroneously claimed that Tusas has been supplying fraudulently-certified titanium parts. According to this news piece, it was Infact Tusas that found the problem. Italians buy the titanium. Then having worked on it...

https://turdef.com/article/tusas-offers-aksungur-uav-to-us-border-security This is interesting! Aksungur is being offered to US border security. Well they are not going to find any UAV that can stay in the air for more than 41 hours and convey intelligence and surveillance, non stop day and...

Anka-3 and KE are quite different aircrafts. Anka-3 is subsonic. Being a flying wing, it can not go supersonic. But due to its airframe design, it is theoretically a true Low Observable plane. It should have a very low RCS value, especially when married with TF6000 engine. It will have 2...

Now let’s look at the shape of our SOM-J : This is a totally stealthy design missile. Under the belly of Anka-3 it shouldn’t increase the RCS of Anka-3 to detectable levels. It is in theory external stealthy storage boxes. It has 275km range which makes it a stand off munition. With a LOS...

There are unverified rumours about I Sunnetci’s statement regarding Turkey buying some of the unwanted A400M transport planes. (6 out of 7 with Germany getting the other) There were news that S Korea was offering Spain their trainer aircraft. Spain came back with a counter offer to give them...

When we finished the first 240 plane f16 programme, we had over 300 fighter jets including F4s and F5s. Since f4 and f5 jets were to be retired soon we would have needed more f16s to keep the numbers of non stealth jets ( the work horses of the airforce) at a decent level. Of course, without...

As per Temel Kotil’in own words, TAI, over the years, has lost a good deal of the expertise and workforce that was trained to produce the f16s. We produced 270 aircraft’s for ourselves , including the last 30 planes that were delivered between 2006 to 2012 to make up for the lost ones...

Yours is wishful thinking! This agreement is totally about the F404 engines and its variants. Remember these engines can develop from 10500lbf to 12000lbf dry thrust as shown in Korean, Swedish and Indian versions. The F404 to be assembled at TEI, will be like T700 Blackhawk engines, and have...
