Özgür is a development project. When the prototype F-16 block 30 Özgür passed all the qualification tests the project is completed and a new contract for serial modernization of all Block 30s to Özgür is signed. The first serially modernized Özgür will be delivered this year. In parallel, there...

Tayfun serial production contract is signed in 2018 and Tayfun is delivered for the first time in 2019. The R&D phase is of course older than this. The next iteration will have a bigger diameter and more launch weight.

TAF has 3 layers/levels when it plans military operations. Strategic(Stratejik most of the time major general and higher), operational (Operatif most of the time major general to colonel) and tactic(taktik most of the time colonel and lower). Yeah, it is the logic behind that. It is a strategic...

2025 is the target date for the FOC for the first fully upgraded F-16 Özgür. F-16 upgrade project is going on in phases. Block 30 Özgür project is completed. Now Özgür project will be extended to Block 40s and 50s. MURAD AESA(includes AESA IFF), FEWS and air-to-air weapons integration will start...

Tayfun aka Bora 2 is the continuation of Bora. The missile is similar to Bora in weight and dimensions and carries a similar warhead to roughly double the range of Bora(280km official, 360km proved). I don't want to quote the exact maximum range as it is not released but it is somewhere between...

It is not NEB. It is probably Mk-82.

Sungur-ER will have the data-link capability. It is also considered for Sungur but unlikely at least for the first block. The thermal sight and IIR seeker of Sungur have good performance. Sungur is also fully integrated into the HERIKKS network. It is like terminal engagement starts with the...

Sungur can execute 50G maneuvers and its maximum speed is above 2.5 Mach. Its acceleration capability is mindblowing which means a shorter flight time to its maximum engagement range compared to its competitors. Warhead effectiveness and performance of the dual-band IIR seeker of the missile are...

At some point, an operation has to be launched. I expect a land operation to start in August.

Serial production KTJ-3200 turbojet engines. A double-digit amount of engines will be delivered soon. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/seri-uretim-ktj-3200-motorlari-ilk-kez-goruntulendi/

A slightly modified Atak Faz-II chopper. This is the new FAZ-II configuration. Note that the picture might not be %100 correct as some of the antennas seems to belong to the RF Jammer system(the black antennas on the wingtip near the LWR and UVFIS sensor) or might be used by both RWR and RF...

Now that is a quality read that explains everything in detail.

Those studies started a decade ago give or take a few years. They are not recent developments. We haven't started those studies recently. SX blade development goes back to 2010. It just doesn't appear out of thin air.

Israel's end game is founding a vassal PKK state that will be a friendly vassal, guarantee Israel's security, and act as a buffer against Iran. Such a state can gain land from Syria, Turkiye, Iran, and Iraq which means those countries will be no threat to Israel for a few centuries. Even if it...

Today I took the time and directly asked an expert who works in the turbine engine design team at TEI. First of all let me announce here that the Turkish single crystal superalloy is a second-generation SX superalloy. The chemical properties of the alloy are obviously secret but according to...

IRST in front of the cockpit and EOTS at the bottom. Both are designed with stealth radomes.

He literally says 1500-1800 degrees kelvin. Tubitak's director mentioned 1400 degrees Celcius but Tubitak gives that value for the blades they produced and delivered before TEI treated the blades with their own processes. By the way, STG 1 means stage 1 power turbine, and STG 2 means stage 2...

Stop name-calling. If you have anything to contribute then contribute if not begone. Mods should erase his massage.

That little dents on the edge of blades are actually helping cooling but they can't be compared to the complex holes on fighter engine blades. It depends on what you want from those blades if you want them to work at 1350 celsius degrees you don't need to drill advanced cooling holes and apply...

I expect a decision to be taken for a land operation in Syria after today's National Security Council meeting. I expect the land operation to start in August. After yesterday's incident launching the operation will be even harder. Literally, everyone is against us. Iran, PKK/YPG, the Syrian...
