540nm mission range. It is lower than I expected. I was expecting a 600+nm mission range.

As I said Russians haven't introduced any single-crystal blades up to today. All of the Russian products including the most recent ones use directionally solidified superalloys. That is the reason why Russian engines need more maintenance and have worse overhaul periods(MTBO-Mean Time Between...

Siper is %100 on track. Cost. You need to fill those VLS cells. 32x VLS means ~100 million $ rather than 50. That is big. At 3000 tonnes I class sits at a very cost-effective sweet spot. It is a general-purpose frigate with outstanding air defense capability offered at a very competitive price.

Mius cant take off from the LHD Anadolu with Al-25TLT even with afterburner. Mius will either get lighter or will be limited to ground bases with Al-25TLT configuration. AL-322F version can operate from LHD with an MTOW of ~5000kg without any problem.

No, they use directionally solidified blades made from superalloys. No real single crystal capability. Russian will use single crystals in izdeliye-30(next-generation engine of the Su-57) but they are having big problems. The project has seen delay after delay. Cracking the single-crystal tech...

It is most likely related to Sedat Peker. This is the way of the Mafia to give a "warning".

Anti-radiation capabilities at squad/platoon level. Now enemies need to bury even the handheld radios.

Seems like a RAM class missile.

No we will have first i class by 2023. In 6-7 years all I class will be delivered and Siper long-range air defense missile will become available starting from 2023.

We should immediately get this. This is a war-winning menace. I can't tell you how scary is this shit even for the mighty fleets like the USN. I wonder what is the price?

This has been a very difficult and very successful project so far. The design changes in mid-production are really hard to cope with. It might seem easy but making calculations for Chinese systems and replacing them with British systems in mid-production is a hell to go through. Most other...

Great name!

No, I can %100 confirm that Ukraine doesn't have single-crystal technology. If designed with the same dimensions I expect TF-6000 to produce up to %25 more thrust than Al-322.

Fırtına ripoff is real though. Double the price for the nearly same product.

Such a beauty. Look at the mast. Cenk-S rotating type AESA 16x VLS for 8*4=32x Hisar-RF/G-40 8*1=8x Siper 16x Atmaca Block 1/2 Great load.

TEI TF-6000 will be smaller in diameter and lighter or it will far exceed 6000lbf if designed in similar dimensions to AL-322F.

Nope state institutions can't use subcontractors easily. They have to open tenders which is a lengthy process. Sometimes it takes more than a year to select a company to design a cooling mechanism. Moreover, MKE was a state-owned institution now they are similar to "-SANs" in how they operate.

The US blocked the sale(to the SSB, not MoD) and integration of Turkish missiles to Mk41 VLS. Up to now, there is no known ban to integrate ESSM to Turkish national VLS but that might change quickly.

No real reason but the US might and probably will ban the use of ESSM from Turkish national VLS.

Illuminator radar has its own inherent advantages(and disadvantages) so it is a good sensor to have rather than not having. Even if you don't have and won't be using semi-active guided missiles.
