Those are VERY accurate shots. What is the range? Do we know? Also I wonder if some form of correction kit were used? https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/105155-mm-howitzer-range-correction-kit

How are you going to sweeten the deal for UK and RR to help you out with engine tech? You need to give them something in return. Partial involvement in your MMU engines and 80 Typhoons with nearly 200 potential engines could be the carrot ??? Just a thought! It would also sort out the half a...

How about the French flag ? French involvement? EU flag?

RAF inventory of 50+ Tranche 1 are of no use to us as they can not be upgraded to tranche 3 or 4 as discussed here before. But to tranche 2.5 at best and without Aesa radars. Without Aesa radars these planes can’t be a match for Rafales.

OK! Here comes the devil’s advocate: 1. Is it really true or just a fake news like many we have seen? 2. If it is true; Will Germany agree to supplying some of the critical parts of the engine and the plane, or agree to TOT of critical parts to Turkey? 3. If Germany doesn’t comply like the Saudi...

For a company that has never manufactured a fully operational jet engine from scratch up until now, do you really think that they can turn ts1400, with a correct transmission in to a working, flying turboprop Under 2-3 years with all the whistles attached? Even a PD-222 that was just a small...

It sure is. This is the news I have been waiting for. This also means Aesa radar test results are probably promising enough to warrant the pressing the start button on Ozgur. (somebody must have been reading about all my whining and complaining with respect to Ozgur being delayed etc. and...

We haven’t even got ts1400 ready for Gokbey yet. You are talking about a turboprop version. Yes. It should be developed. But for long term. By the time TEI gets round to making it, testing it, then integrating it, it will be 2-3 years at best, before serial production can start. In reality it...

Correct! also Rolls Royce/Honeywell TPE-331 turboprop family can provide 550-1650HP power for any type of propeller driven plane.

Ideally Turkey would want to be able to integrate her indigenous weapons on to the new 40 F16-V70s and the 80 upgraded ones. Normally with limited access, we are able to introduce our weapons to the US planes as their US counterparts. (KGK as JSOW, HGK as JDAM, Gokdogan as Aim120-amraam etc). If...

Anything that TEI is going to produce would be too late for our needs. For the mid to long term program, TEI is the way to go. But for short term our hands are tied. There is one way to sort it all out, and that is RR. RR Adour is a 6000lbf class turbofan. It has afterburner if needed. This...

There are rumours of Russian Afghanit being able to stop Depleted Uranium tipped Sabot rounds. But like with most Russian stuff it needs to be seen to be believed. Trophy developers are still trying on the case of sabot defence. But they accept that it is very challenging to stop a 4-5 Mach...

Kinetic weapons are the real APS killers. Trophy class APS do not have an answer to sabot rounds. 155mm howitzers and 127mm naval guns can fire Hyper Velocity rounds. This is what the answer is for APS fitted on any tank. These HPVs are precision guided and would be the ideal solution for long...

https://voi.id/en/news/54259/no-longer-stealth-russia-can-detect-us-f-22-and-f-35-fighter-jets Interesting article, claiming Russian Nebo-M Radars being able to detect stealth planes. Not just stealth planes but hypersonic missiles from a distance of 600km.

All of what you say are well noted. But Abrams M1A2 tank in it’s latest guise, is arguably the top tank today amongst the tanks like leopard and black panther with it’s more advanced armour, fire control system etc. Abrams M1 has been battle tested over and over again and almost all relevant...

There are a few questions I would like to ask anyone, that really knows the answer, to reply: We have produced an “Ozgur” f16 prototype from a block 30 plane (without Aesa radar), and it has flown. If this prototype were successful, why are we still waiting for this upgrade to be implemented on...

Abrams M1A2 with today’s dollar value is 10.5 million dollars a piece at cost. (With inflation adjustment) That is 9.75 million Euros each. US engineering labour cost is 10 to 12 times more than Turkish equivalents. (~38dollars per hour for USA - ~3 dollars per hour for Turkey) So you would...

Not just the exorbitant price tag, but the very fact that when it was ready for serial production by the end of 2016 having completed initial tests; it is still not going to be in serial production for at least another couple of years. That is the biggest fiasco! 6 years on we are still not sure...
