Yes, not only VHF but also a passive radar network is being developed. A passive radar prototype is already deployed and being tested in the field so it is close to entering into the inventory of the armed forces. There are two different passive radar projects PYAS(Pasif Yayın Algılama...

The first test of KGK from a UAV is done at a low altitude so a 50+km range for a high altitude release is not surprising. KGK-LR as of now is a SAGE project it is not officially requested from the Turkish Armed Forces or SSB. We don't know from which direction the wind will blow. It seems...

Erdogan is gearing up for a big announcement on 20 July in TRNC. Rumors say it is either about huge has discoveries in the area between Cyprus and Turkey or recognition of TRNC by some friendly countries. I would say it is about the gas discoveries.

Yes, I still think RAM is expensive and redundant at that price tag compared to an ESSM or similar missile. I never said Sungur should be used. I said a cost-effective missile should be developed either from Sungur(by scaling it up) or from bozdoğan(a more cost-effective cheaper version) to be a...

Here is a quote that will answer your question. As you can see it is more effective than flares but it has its own drawbacks.

Siper has home on jamming but home on jamming ability is countered successfully by modern DRFM Jammers because the missile RF seeker or radar thinks it's getting the return of its own emitted signal. This is why datalink is important. This way you can compare datas and understand the there is...

I have no info about the contra-rotating propellor studies at Baykar.

From 2014. Page 20. It is in Turkish. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Dergi_Ocak2014.pdf Page 30. Roketsan-Raytheon contract in the scope of the ESSM project. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ocak2017.pdf There are more I cant dig everything. It...

It still uses French engines. Other than that no subsystem is foreign. There are also some foreign component level parts but they are not important.

In terms of solid-fueled rocket engines, several of our institutions have the design capability but there is an energetic chemical materials problem. He doesn't specifically refer to the scientific ability of production. Earlier Hisar models (Hisar-A, Hisar-O) were using solid fuels which have...

What Okumuş said is about the "serial production" of energetic materials. Investments are made and measures are taken to cover the serial production side of the things. Hisar missiles use one of the best available solid rocket fuel formulas available worldwide. The time between firing and...

Nope. Bahçeli never said a word about Soylu up to now. He stays silent. Something is fishy about all of those shenanigans.

MIUS is a stealth deep strike subsonic aircraft with an MTOW of around 4 tonnes. The unmanned fighter project is a completely different project. It is a fighter-sized aircraft. I expect it to be similar to Hürjet in size but have more payload capacity due to the removal of the cockpit and other...

Armenia resists the opening of the Zengezur corridor between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan. In the meanwhile, Armenians are freely using the Lachin corridor to travel between Armenia and Hankendi/Stepanakert. If no steps are taken by Armenia to open the Zengezur corridor, Azerbaijan is gearing up...

The latest polls suggest Pashinyan could get %25 of the votes in the election and become the winner. I think this is good news for Azerbaijan.

It is postponed due to COVID-19

We will eventually upgrade all of our F-16s. Block 30s go under modernization first. Then the 40s, then the 50s. 50+ won't be modernized in the near future. 50s will go under mid-life modernization probably by the end of this decade. People say Aselsan AESA is already installed on the prototype...

The Sungur system is at the back.

This is not true harpy is way more advanced than Spike NLOS. It has a passive RF seeker, GPS/INS, stabilized IIR/CCD EO gimbal, two-way datalink, and man-in-the-loop capability.

True but it is still a lot of money even when you take that into account. Poland bought the whole package and it cost them nearly 10 million for a TB2 and it needs more infrastructure than Harop. Turkiye produces SOM cruise missiles for a million dollars per unit. Let's say Harop costs 2...
