They need to sort out his nomenclature palaver. We have two “Simsek” one is a space vehicle the other is a target drone. There is also a third one which is the second kamikaze version of the target drone. We have two Kargi/Kargu . They are both loitering munitions. First one is similar to Harop...

@Nilgiri has given a very good and fairly detailed explanation to your questions. Thank you @Nilgiri for such an informative explanation. All I could say is that mathematically for a given thrust and engine the Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption is like a mathematical constant; whether it be in...

Usual mistake some people make is taking the fan diameter as the main measurement. Fan diameter of AI25 class engines are around 64cm. They don’t take in to account the parts that protrude at the bottom and around the main engine block. With all that paraphernalia you end up with a 880mm width...

Only time they mentioned TEI if I remember, was when they were embargoed heavily by the Canadians and Rotax engine supply ceased. Then they tested PD-170 and were very impressed with it’s power delivery. Regarding the TF6000 and it’s Ukrainian counterpart ; On paper there is no comparison...

You are right. That is the plan. Dr Aksit had stated that they were discussing with GE about TEI producing these under license. But nothing has been finalised yet. In fact there was some talk about the under license production of first dozen or so TFX’s prototype engines of F110GE129E.

For our defence industry to function properly, the one most important and vitally essential equipment that is in the heart of all our defence industry vehicles, is their engine. Unhindered supply of this during peace and war times is non-negotiable. If you don’t have it, then you are in a...

Have they got Germany's consent? Otherwise they will either block it or concede to sell them provided they are not used against Greece or in Northern Syria. They blocked 48 typhoon sale of UK to Saudi Arabia on the basis of Kaşıkci murder. Another method of sale needs to be found. RR producing...

The trick is to produce systems that are good enough to go through missile's defences. GaN based Aesa radars can fry and jam systems of any object emitting RF.

Hurjet CAS version can also be identified as Light attack aircraft. So as well as being a Close Air Support craft it will have capability to perform light attack duties. This version will have a Leonardo built Aesa radar on board and will have access to the use of all Turkish built weapons and...

There is an English saying; How long is a piece of string? it indicates that something cannot be given a finite measurement. Originally, the BMC had won the 250 tank order with a bid of 3.5 billion Euros. If that is still valid or not; But that then meant 14 million Euros per tank. But we didn’t...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tusasa-412-adet-hurjet-siparisi/ 4 definite and 12 optional initial order for Hurjet has been received by Tusas. Currently 2 prototypes that will fly are being built. One of these will be for a trainer aircraft , the other in CAS format.

Engine, wehether it be for 55 ton or 65 ton vehicle doesnt really matter. The Doosan engine develops 1500HP power output with a torque value close to the MTU engine. That amount of power with 4600Nm of torque is enough to drive Altay. German MTU engine isn’t significantly different. It is the...

This reminds me the film “Enemy at the gates” where in Stalingrad every 2 Russian soldiers were given 1 rifle to share. If your partner carrying the gun was shot you would inherit the rifle. There were teams behind the soldiers to shoot the deserters. It may not be as dire as that film but...

Current DAS (Defensive aide Suites) and EW systems modern aircrafts have onboard, makes it somehow unnecessary to have such capability. If you could get behind an a2a missile and fire a faster missile at it, you could hit it. But that is not a very likely scenario to happen. If your Aesa radar...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/yunan-denizalti-filosunda-kan-kaybi/ As Turkish AIP submarine Piri Reis is preparing to join the Turkish Navy, Greek naval force had to decommission one of her type 209 Glavkos Class subs. That brings down Greek submarine force to 10 vessels. If Turkish navy...

You don't really need a specific Hisar RF specification. Because it is essentially a Hisar O+ missile with RF seeker head. It uses the same propulsion. Below site has Ismail Demir's take on the same where he is telling that the Hisar O+ fitted with RF seeker has been successfully fired...

If you know what a dual thrust engine is , then you know that it is only one engine and one fuel tank. But in the fuel tank you have two different fuels; One fuel burns quick and gives sudden and quick thrust. The other fuel burns slow and sustains the speed of the first fuel. quote: ESSM...

ESSM uses a Dual-Thrust engine to propel it. Hisar-RF uses a Dual-Pulse engine. So ESSM reaches it’s maximum speed of 4 Mach quickly and the dual propellant sustains this speed as long as it can. Then the missile starts losing speed. Especially when it has to manoeuvre. Hisar-RF goes up to a...

The 2 antenna version of RIM-116 has a 180 degree coverage. By rotating the missile they achieve 360 degree coverage. As an added bonus they do away with angle ambiguity problem. RIM-116 also has 2 more antennas at the rear to block signal interference. This Turkish missile has been developed...

US built RIM-116 missile has 2 RF antennas. So it‘s interferometer can only make measurements of signal phase interference in a single plane. To take measurements in two planes the missile rolls around its own axis. This also resolves the problem of angle ambiguity. Turkish, Evolved Sungur...
