Yes, this missile is dangerous. I expect the Turkish MRBM to be bigger and heavier than this with a similar or slightly higher payload capacity to reach ranges around 2000-2500km. The missile will %100 have stage separation. The missile will be in the ballpark of 6-7 tons launch weight with...

The missile mentioned as 150km is TRLG-300. UAVs will be used to light up targets behind enemy lines where the risk is high. Both TRLG-230 and TRLG-300 will also have air-launched versions.

Tactical ballistic missile is a sub-category of SRBM. TBMs usually have a range lower than 300kms. Tayfun is an SRBM if we take into account its max range of 750-850km. Tayfun is a TBM if we take into account its mobility and battlefield deployment(similar to Bora in size and weight). SRBMs and...

I guess CENK is possibly the ramjet anti-ship/cruise missile. There are at least 3 known ramjet missile projects. Gökhan ramjet AA missile(Tübitak), Akbaba ramjet anti-radiation missile(Roketsan), and ramjet anti-ship/cruise missile(Roketsan). Akbaba and Gökhan are airforce projects. Ramjet...

In 2023 Baykar alone will export 3-4 billion worth of UAVs and UAV-related equipment and services. I expect the Turkish defense industry to export at least 6-7 billion worth of goods and services in the defense sector.

Guys, there is a shit a ton of gas in the Black Sea they are announcing it piece by piece. We have already covered that topic. Erdo might announce a huge discovery on new years eve or the first day of the new year while opening the Blacksea Gas facilities. We also found a great prospect in the...

According to one of my sources, TAI will complete the assembly of flight prototype of Hurjet by the end of November.

As expected companies started spilling beans. BTW Murat İkinci refers to a MaRV (Manevuerable Reentry Vehicle) and HGV (hypersonic gliding vehicle) that will be used with Tufan MRBM. Tubitak develops the hypersonic cruise missile in parallel with its scramjet engine development. The video I...

Cost calculations are very complex. Half of the flight hours of the TR1s are gone. Do you invest 50 million per plane for upgrades or do you buy brand new TR4 for 150 million? What if an upgrade can be done at 25 million with the contribution of the Turkish defense industry and widespread use of...

Turkiye can literally strip the EF-2000 naked and change its avionics, rebuild everything inside the cockpit if the producer of the aircraft cooperates and give permissions and IP rights/source codes for modding. This is what we successfully did to F-16 Block 30.

I guess we haven't seen the worst yet. Don't be surprised if some of those guys are presented as heroes in a few years.

TB2 has many versions. Depending on the version capabilities can differ. It has a SIGINT version for example nobody talks about that.

Airforce will buy the trainer version and deliveries will start in 2025. The light fighter-armed version will be evaluated separately.

Yes on the exercise UAV listened to a sonobuoy launched by another asset. In this test, it launched the sonobuoy itself.

Sure let's work with Russians as if we can get anything from them.

An underwater target is successfully detected via a USV-launched sonobuoy. Another big achievement for our USVs.

There is no official embargo for F-404 engines. Engines for the prototypes are delivered and are currently in TAI. F-404 is an old engine and can't possibly be embargoed unless congress passes a law. Transaction related to payment of the engines is also lower than the embargo threshold (The...

The missile is generic. Repkon is showing that it can produce the copper cone of the anti-tank shaped charge.

The UK offers full source code access for EF-2000s.
