No one will give you IP rights of a modern 5th generation stealth plane’s engine. As it is going to be a lucrative engine deal for RR, they are not going to release IP rights to Turkey freely, even if we are prepared to pay for it. They will push to the last moment to obtain some form of hold on...

Having full stealth capability as per original design parameters and having partially stealth plane, has nothing to do with possessing good AI. Why do you think our computer engineers have been writing millions of lines of program? Flight and weapons control computers and computers controlling...

I wish I had your optimism on these matters. But having lived through an Altay fiasco and blockage of sales of Atak-129 to Pakistan due to engines, one becomes rather sceptical. With respect to engines related to our air platforms we have nothing concrete in hand. The only engine we have is the...

Recently we have been fed with a lot of; Shall Will Going to But we really need to hear ; “We have secured a deal for the engines of TFX, Hurjet, Atak-2 and MIUS.” Because without engines these projects are dead even before they have started. We do not want another Altay story in our hands with...

Welcome to the forum! TFX will not have TVC with the current engine configurations. Both f110 engines that will be used in the prototypes and the subsequent indigenous engines planned that we know of, do not have this capability. We however do not know the contents of the discussions SSB...

There is so much that is wrong about this that I don’t know where to start. 1. According to what you say, Bora has 320kg dry weight when totally empty. Surely….? (480kg payload??) 2. No country actually gives out specifics of their missile weights etc unless it is missiles like DF3 where it is...

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2021/07/us-navys-virginia-class-submarines-get-more-tomahawk-missiles/ The Virginia Class Block V submarine will have an additional 28 missile slots in an extended section behind the sail. This will make the submarine much longer but will increase the total...

Even the Americans themselves realised they were far too big, expensive and unnecessary when they could have the smaller 1 billion dollar cheaper Virginia class instead. So they cancelled 26 of the 29 planned for production. Even those with bottomless pockets had to be more reasonable. But we...

These South Korean subs are actually 3600tons, 83m long vessels with 9.6m beam. Our 214 Reis class is 1800tons, 68.5 m long with 6.3m beam. Our Milden subs would have to be significantly redesigned to accommodate a missile like Bora if such a need arose. But the question is; What are we going to...

Quite right! 1 million dollar a piece Bora is not a missile that can be expended easily. These are very inefficient methods of conveying explosives to their targets. There are AD systems nowadays that can neutralise these missiles. So unless you are able to saturate the target or have already...

These two terminologies, if I am not mistaken, mean; Sub Surface Guided Nuclear. Sub Surface Ballistic Nuclear. Where are we going to acquire the nuclear reactors? Or obtain nuclear heads? Yes to be a world wide power you need this capability. But we have a long way to go yet. There are only a...

How else are you going to do the necessary propaganda? How else can you change the daily agenda that is working against you in the media? Edit: Besides those people that are not supposed to know, can see all your movements via their big brothers’ satellites.

A missile is a vehicle that is propelled through air by a rocket engine or a jet engine. A rocket is a vehicle that can be propelled through vacuum and air. Rockets that are designed to fly predominantly in space and are very different to those that are designed to fly back to earth following a...

What you don’t seem to understand is the fact that the way these missiles are flying and what their trajectories are like and what they are meant to do effect their range. Bora built with technologies obtained from the Chinese (Chinese used Russian Iskander as starting point) is very different...

What some Turkish academics and lawyers believe in does not change the reality accepted by the rest of the world including UN. As far as they are concerned the Syrians in Turkey are “refugees”. Hence will have to be treated accordingly. No matter how much these academics and lawyers try to prove...

Says who? You? https://www.unhcr.org/uk/syria-emergency.html UN’s own site clearly states that hey are “refugees”! https://www1.undp.org/content/dam/undp/library/corporate/fast-facts/english/FFSyriaJune72013.pdf

We must not forget that Turkey has signed the UN charter regarding the handling of refugees. As the name clearly suggests these are people who were seeking “refuge” in Turkey as their lives were endangered. There are clear guidelines as to how you can handle them and how you can send them back...

My understanding with respect to Sungur was such that, due to the successes obtained in the tests, the very short range AD work to be given to the Hisar A, has been transferred to Sungur based systems. If I am not wrong, there is still more work being carried out on the development of Sungur to...

Akkuyu is being built by Russians, Financed by Russians, Owned by Russians. Uranium fuel to be supplied by Russians. All depleted Uranium is to be taken back by Russians. TETAS of Turkey guarantees to purchase at least 70% of energy produced at 12.35 cents per KWhr. How is that going to help...

PrsM is a work in progress. It is programmed to go as long as 1770km at hypersonic speeds. Current missile tested managed 400km distance. https://www.defensenews.com/land/2021/05/12/armys-precision-strike-missile-breaks-range-record/ This is a missile that was developed from ATACMS 610mm...
