As per @Radonsider ’s above post, the info on the Tusas site are outdated. Hurjet airframe has since been undergoing a serious redesign by Akaer of Brazil. These are the people who made Gripen so much more than what it originally was. Talking about Gripen; There you have a 2mach top speed plane...

Like a dual pulse engine? Or a two stage missile? It is hard to pull off. You would have to carry a good deal of fuel for burning in atmosphere and more fuel to carry this excess fuel up to high altitudes. That is why ramjet and scramjet engines are the logical solution. They have propulsion in...

Most ballistic missiles can be intercepted by modern AD systems. Azerbaijan and Ukraine wars are good examples for this. If you want good results with ballistic missiles against very well protected carrier groups, you need 2 major capabilities: 1. Hypersonic terminal speeds 2. Near perpendicular...

This is rather interesting: according to a Ukranian TB2 operator, they see a TB2 being shot by a Russian S300 AD system. They are dismayed over losing the TB2. But the plane makes an automatic landing back to it’s designated airport few hours later with loads of holes on the airframe. They mend...

For that you need a ballistic missile with a terminal weight of over 3.5 tons and a very good aerodynamic geometry that would give an air drag coefficient of less than 0.05 (as close to a tear-drop shape as possible) and as small a diameter as possible. (Say 600mm or smaller if possible). That...

Even a minister had commented about what it could do. He’d said something along the lines of forgetting about elections etc if we’d known what it could do. Also as I had mentioned before about our @Cabatli_53 ’s post in another life regarding this missile. It was dated October 2019. So a lot of...

On paper there are pluses and minuses on both sides. Basicaly it is the same gun; 39/52 caliber. French one is fully automatic loader where as Yavuz is semi automatic. French one in the upgraded version has enhanced armour for protection and there is a 8x8 version . Yavuz also has a 12.7mm gun...

UK‘s foreign policy does not change with leaders. Nor will it drastically change with different parties. It was Theresa May, a rival to Boris Johnson within Conservative party, that started the ball rolling, with her signature on defence and trade cooperation. Boris carried on with the same. It...

Best answer to this question is to look at the Tusas’s timeline for MMU. After March 2023 when the plane comes out of hangar under it’s own power, it will have to wait till 2025, may be even until 2026 before it’s first flight. OK, MMU is a stealthy top end twin engined large fighter jet with a...

After your previous post I almost wrote “ wait for IMF to get involved”. You have beaten me to it with your bombshell. When you pull the foundation away from your financial backbone that is what you get. We were like a guy who owes a lot of money to people and pays it off by borrowing from...

Sivas University is dabbling in industrial scale production of ground metal dust of alloys to be used in 3D printing. This will be of alloys that contain Titanium, Iron, Boron, Nickel, and Cobalt. Initial result have been very successful. So much that even TEI is interested and excited about the...

Please listen to it very carefully! He says: “the one in front of you will be all indigenous; the engine, although we are getting from Ukraine, will be manufactured in Turkey. So all will be indigenous.” He says nothing about Turkey manufacturing the Ukrainian engine in Turkey. He is making a...

You are correct in thinking that the Ukrainian engines are going to be produced in Turkey after reading this news. But this news has been made according to the interview shared in the same news piece. And if you listen to the interview carefully, the news is WRONG! If you listen to what the guy...

There are 17 rare earth elements on the periodic table. According to the news you have shared , all 17 elements are present in the find. ”Quote: Eskişehir’in Beylikova ilçesinde 694 milyon ton nadir toprak elementi rezervi keşfedildi. 17 farklı toprak elementinin bulunduğu rezerv, dünyada...

Do you have sources to support these claims? Atak-2 prototypes were to be powered by engines purchased from Ukraine with slightly underpowered engines until local engines with 3000HP were ready. There were no TEI involvement for under license Ukrainian engine production, as far as the media...

SAMP-T is a proven system. Aster-30 block-1 NT has a range of 150km and can hit ballistic missiles with a range of 1500km. Aster-30 block-2 BMD is still in development stage and will be capable to hit ballistic misslies with a range of 3000km. If we can get this technology quicker by becoming...

There are 4 basic points that defines an engine as a 5th generation engine. Hence a stealthy plane‘s “stealthy“ engine. 1. Nozzles, need to be designed so that both heat signature and the radar reflectance values of the back of the engine conforms to required parameters. 2. All fighter engines...

It may be a good idea to get back to thread’s topic ; “Turkish intervention in Syria” before this thread turns in to “Cay Bahcesi” I personally don’t have any confidence about the intervention of Turkey in Syria happening again, unless US gives it’s consent. There are just too many cards of...

As you would know, you don’t need a scramjet engine to reach hypersonic speeds with a ballistic missile. Almost all SRBMs can attain hypersonic speeds during their flight. A good example is the Russian Kinzhal missile. It is supposedly a 8-10 Mach speed missile. At 50-60000m altitude with very...

What Sedef is producing is a ”Floating Dry Dock”. A floating dry dock is usually built using steel framing which is similar to that of seagoing vessels with ballast tanks provided on sides and bottom to raise and lower the dock. Quote: Advantages of Dry Docks: They can be propelled to the...
