This was discussed before. Both Gurcan Okumus of Tubitak Sage and Ismail Demir stated that Gökhan is going to be with liquid fuelled ramjet engines. But there is a small trick here; The liquid fuel used will probably be like the liquid fuel used in Brahmos missiles. That is gel based liquid...

Very ambitious and correct way to go forward with. Gokhan and Akbaba will materialise in the months to come hopefully. Gokhan with a liquid fuel ramjet engine and Akbaba with solid fuel ramjet engine. All the others you have listed here will have to be with liquid fuel ramjet engines. My only...

Logical thing to do is to produce a smaller engine before you go bigger. As the proverb go: ” walk before you run”! 6000lbf thrust class engine to be produced first. This is going to be our first shot at a turbofan. Then it should be a 12000lbf class engine that can power Hurjet. Then...

This was tested earlier this year. I remember reading about it. Up to 150 km range. But it is a very expensive method to increase range. There is already guided rounds like Excalibur in esoteric price levels. Who knows what these will cost. Also the amount of explosive it can carry will be...

If it is Roketsan’s ramjet, then it is solid fuelled ramjet engine being used in these missiles for propulsion. This should be similar to the engine being used in Meteor; May be without throttle control. However if it should have throttle control it would give very long ranges to the missile...

They do look overpriced. Yet we don’t know how much we are paying for the 40 new planes. Also what it entails? How much ammo are we buying with this package? If you check how much other countries are paying for these planes you will see that the price of a V70-F16 has gone up a lot over the...

Remember we have 1.4 billion dollars in the kitty. We need to spend it. They know it. If we can purchase with these planes, a good number of Amraam aim 120-D missiles, it would be a big asset to have. These are very long range (more than 160km) newest missiles US has. They have a dual pulse...

https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/key-lawmakers-signal-allowing-turkeys-purchase-of-f-16s-us-media-173582 It is around 6 billion dollar package! There may be a good amount of suitable weapons and accessories etc too.

“Fitted For But Not With” idea is the main notion behind these OPVs. 1. As you mention radars; the radar of the Milgem is very costly. Since these ships are going to be more for patrol duties, they don’t need to have costly radars. (A CAFRAD of TF2000 could cost as much as a ship). But should...

Milgem 5 the I-Class first ship is to have both ESSM and Hisar missile system capabilities. But then again the anti ship system is shown as Harpoon 2. Yet we know that all combatant ships were to have Atmaca integrated . Also the RAM system we were led to believe were among those embargoed...

@Altay2071, Think of it this way: 1 x OPV costs 110 million dollar to build 1 x Milgem Corvette costs 260 million dollar to build 1 x I-Class frigate costs 400million to build. You have seen how long it took to build 4 Milgem Corvettes. You’re seeing how long it is taking 4 more I-Class ships to...

I won’t go in to numbers. But ; Yes. We eat too much wheat products in Turkey. We are a nation that eats rice and lentils with bread. (mind you English have Chip-butties . They put fried potatoes in to bread buns and eat it) But Turkey is a large producer of wheat products like pasta and...

If my logic and my memory are not deceiving me; 80 kits will cover the newest of our f16s. Since there is a 30 year limit on the planes for warranty etc, we will have the right to alter or add to them after this period. So…. ~35 Block 30 planes are all over 30 years old. So they can be...

Good question! @Anmdt can put some light on it. If the parts are ready to be put in dry dock for assembly, it needs to be done at the place where they were first cut. According to below site: quote: Within the framework of the project, which began on August 15, 2021, ASFAT General Directorate of...

Interesting where Turkey is. Yet it is not enough for our own use.

I guess too busy exporting them!
