    T-629 will replace T-129. TS-1400 can power T-629 after 2028. Military derivative of the TS-1400 doesn't need to get the civilian EASA certification so it won't be certified it will be qualified.

    Yes, a shell made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, RAM coating, and RAM paint is covered on top of the submarine. It also decreases the acoustic signature of the submarine. It is top secret and national. Aselsan developed it with Hacettepe University and produced it at Aselsan facilities.

    Maintenance is not a big issue for ships "compared to" fighters. TN ships undergo routine maintenance activities every year. 30000 hours for overhauls is adequate. As I said in normal conditions those ships rarely turn on gas turbines. They will use diesel engines and a travel speed of 15-16...

    Ukrainian aero-derivative marine engines are a viable alternative. LM2500 and LM500 are no doubt the best but it is not critical as in the aircraft development. Aircraft have limited space and you are flying and should achieve a certain aerodynamic performance. You want the best performance...

    Hydropneumatic suspensions, not shock absorbers. TR is on its way to producing non-magnetic submarine steel. The first national non-magnetic steel will be used on the Turkish FAC project(because the strength of the steel doesn't need to be as much as the steel that is used on a submarine)...

    A prototype doesn't mean we will start producing power immediately. There is a huge work between developing a prototype and building an actual powerplant. We have prototype nuclear reactors in Turkiye right here right now. We are producing our own medical fissile materials and use them for...

    TR Turkish Leopard 2A4 Modernization News and Discussions

    To sum it all, this is a cluster fuck. Otokar did the right thing to stay away from it. Roketsan modernization package is for interim and urgent needs since Leo2A4 has no armor at all against modern threats. BMC offers Leotay with no working prototype. Currently, there is no production of...

    We don't have an energy deficit. In fact, we are producing more than our consumption. Figes and Tubitak are working on molten salt thorium reactors but don't expect anything before 2030. https://figes.com.tr/arge

    If BMC is given (they won't pay for the land it will be given for free) a land in İzmir even with a very rushed tempo and a herculean effort it will take 18 months to just build the building. In reality, it might take more than this. And then comes the part where you procure machinery set-up the...

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    I don't think there will be a national design for a handful of navalized helicopters. Gökbey, T-929, Hürjet and MMU(TF-X) has priority. WHen I said T-70 I meant seahawk with Aselsan avionics, electronics plus Turkish FLIR, radar, and sonar. Since Aselsan hardware is certified on T-70 it probably...

    T-925 has no urgency as the T-70 project is still running. The best option would be to expand the T-70 contract with the seahawks I don't know if this is possible. T-70 Seahawk with Turkish sonar, FLIR, and Radar would be awesome. T-70 already has Aselsan avionics suite, EW systems, etc.

    Electric vehicles especially full EVs have insanely long mean time between failures. If you buy an electric car you won't see a car mechanic for a long time other than things like tires, brakes, etc.

    Even if we give a complete data pack to the US it is meaningless. We are not at WW2. An MBT is not an important military secret. What is a real military secret? Signal processing algorithm of your EW system for example.

    There are 2 Turkish vaccine projects. The first one is Turkovac. It is an inactive virus vaccine so a well-established classical method. The other one is VLP (Virus-Like Particles) vaccine.
