VK-2500 is developed from TV3-117. It is the next generation TV3-117.

2023 will be a crazy year. We will be bombarded with the defense industry achievments. Selecting the motor sich engine(VK-2500) is the right call. IMHO the selected engine is hands down the best engine based on soviet tech and one of the best available engines in its class in the world. It is...

The helicopter is flying perfectly. It is extremely stable. The helicopter encountered no vibration issue since its first flight and this is very rare in helicopter development. The transmission and rotor have perfect coherence with the body.

North Korea has thousands of rocket and gun artillery systems and god knows how many artillery rockets and shells NK has in storage. This is useless. NK is not Hamas. Systems like Iron Dome are useless against countries with military production capabilities.

It will increase Ka band data capacity 15 times.

We don't need 20 TF-2000, 10 TF-4500. We don't have enough budget what we need are workhorse frigates to replace our aging fleet. Ideally, we need 8-12 I class. in reality we will get 4. There won't be any TF-4500 before 2030 and TF-2000 won't be put on a drydock before 2023. This means we need...

Canal İstanbul is neither a good project nor a bad project. It is an optional project which should be done when the state coffers are in a healthy position. I would rather finance an aircraft carrier, 4x more I class, more UAVs, and air-defense systems than constructing an optional canal. We can...

Yes exactly. Missile Mach 3= 3675km/h lets round it down to 3600 Target Mach 2=2450km/h lets round it down to 2400 Let's say a Turkish F-16 detects an enemy fighter 100km away and fires a Gokhan missile while both targets fly at Mach 0,9. Let's assume for simplicity both the missile and...

I want to explain this. Tümosan is a civilian company and has been developing military engines for some time. After Tumosan got into the military business it is embargoed by multiple foreign companies which deliver some of the components so Tumosan split up found a new company that develops...

Yes, I know that nearly all of the ramjet missiles(A-A, A-G, and G-G) fly around Mach 2.5-3 as it is the sweet spot but this is what my source said to me. Maybe it is similar to Meteors use case and Mach 4 is for the terminal approach or we are using some new fuel or our ramjet design differs...

As I said neither of those studies involved a solid fuel ramjet engine design. Detonation engines have nothing to do with ramjets. Roketsan's studies revolved around aerodynamic body design, engine inlet design, and new-generation solid fuel research. There was no concrete info other than...

You are right but it is still a taboo for Greece to officially meet the president of TRNC.

%49.9 of the BMC is owned by Qatar does that make BMC a foreign company? Otokar(it isn't an engine producer) or Otosan(is a civilian company that doesn't want to involve in military matters for the fucking OBVIOUS reasons) doesn't produce military engines because it is not their area of...

Directly meeting the President of TRNC.

It wasn't obvious to me and for a lot of people. There were only guesses and suspicions regarding the ramjet studies at Roketsan and none of them include engine design most of the studies were revolving around aerodynamic body and engine inlet designs. Roketsan having a separate ramjet engine...

New info Roketsan works on solid fuel ramjet. Liquid fuel ramjet is a Tubitak project.

Gökhan can be translated as Sky khan or celestial khan. As stated multiple times another missile will be revealed at IDEF in August. Candidates are anti-ship version of Bora ballistic missile, ramjet anti-ship missile/ramjet cruise missile for high-value intensely protected targets, Gezgin...

Silent masses heavily outnumber the loud fanatics.

Ulaq AUSV sea patrol variant (armed with cirit&umtas) is entering serial production. All the design and development tests are done. It is used in an official big navy exercise IMHO biggest and final test ever done and the system is working as intended. From this point on serial production effort...
