National passive RF anti-radiation seeker.

I don't think he meant PESA. What he probably meant is listening, recognizing, analyzing, and classifying radar signals. PESA is a type of active radar it emits signals. Passive radars don't emit RF signals.

TF-X and F-16 AESA radar can also act as a passive radar(listening mode).

It is way better. Eurofighter is designed as an intercepter so its job is A-A warfare. IMO it is the best 4th gen A-A fighter. If we compare the latest models of Eurofighter, Rafale, and Gripen I would rather be inside the Eurofighter. BTW no one "dogfights" in real war conditions. There is...

Why? The project is top secret this has nothing to do with Vestel.

Nothing good will come from all of those groups inside SNA. It doesn't matter what group it is. They manage to lose Seraqib despite Turkish UAVs wreaking havoc on regime material.

By 2025 Mius will be in the inventory and supersonic Mius will probably be in flight tests. Today it is a good move in 2025 it is not a good move.

I heard something different. There are two bidders one of them is Dearsan and the other is the Sedef-Istanbul Tersanesi consortium.

Yeah, it was 27000lbs at first and increased to 29000lbs. That is the lowest acceptable at the moment. 35.000 lbs thrust is more like a target rather than a bare minimum.

SIPRI is not a very reliable source but you can get a general idea.

A new booster engine, a smart capsule(kinda like an empty torpedo that can go to designated coordinates) is in design for Sub-Atmaca. I expect a range increase for Sub-Atmaca like the Atmaca-Land.

Turkish national engine will be similar to F110 but it will also have differences. There will also be many surprises and improvements. The national engine will have up-to-date technologies like 3D additive manufacturing, advanced blisk production, a monolithic compressor section, national single...

Siper=SM-2 Block IVA(cancelled)

MICA-VL VLS cells are very compact so rather than penetrating the hull they are placed above the deck. It is a logical choice. Mk41 on the other hand is a big system and has to be placed behind the 76mm cannon by penetrating the deck. Ada class has space for 8x Mk41 VLS behind the 76mm cannon...

It can be everything but Göktuğ. But my money is on the cut-down version of the Siper aka Hisar-U. I expect a ~100km Hisar family missile(a resembling geometry and a dual pulse engine) with an RF seeker. Siper should be the same missile with better guidance (Ka-band AESA RF+IIR) and added...

The contract includes those. There is nothing to fuss about. That's why it is called T-70.

It doesn't matter we won't be operating our LHD before 2023. Even the announced "delivery" date of March 2022 is very doubtful. It might slip to the second or third quarter easily and I have suspicions that it might slip even more. The initial operational capability can be gained in 2023 with a...

It might be but we can't know it for sure. Mar-D is an X band AESA(basically like a fighter radar) radar. It can certainly be used to illuminate a target for a semi-active RF-guided missile if Aselsan wants it or TN demands it. I doubt adding the capability to illuminate a target to MAR-D and...

It depends on the booster. You can even achieve over 100km. Look at the design of Aster-30.

Kütleeşdeğer Test Mühimmatı. Mass equivalent test munition. It basically has the same geometry, mass, and mass distribution as the real missile. It is used for airborne carry, flutter, and separation tests. ITM stands for İtki Test Mühimmatı= Thrust test munition.
