    When we have our own TS1400 engines on them, we will see the real export results of this helicopter. There are many nations that can not buy western class helicopters. With indigenous engines we can open up those markets.

    As a naval helicopter for multi purpose use, Gokbey can be good to use on TCG Anadolu and other ships like Bayraktar Class LSTs plus any other non combatant sea platform. Gokbey, if navalised, can also make a very good search and rescue helicopter. It can do a lot of Seahawk duties more...

    Gripen E and F are totally different planes. They have more powerful F414 engines on board. Their airframe have been redesigned by Akaer (who are also redesigning Hurjet’s airframe) to make it a more agile jet fighter. Also they have onboard the GaN based Aesa radar. Gripen A to C however are...

    Greece to procure a fleet of F-35 fighter jets

    SU35S, quoted by some as best 4++ generation fighter around; SU57, deemed as Russia’s response to F22 stealth planes. With their overwhelming numbers and their superiority on paper, there was so much expectation. But they have failed to deliver; In fact they have done very little in Ukraine...

    If you know the ingredients of a poison, you have a chance to create an antidote for it. Since we know how these APS work, we should also know how to circumvent it. And hence produce anti-tank/anti-armour weapons accordingly.

    Everything you say here seems to fit in well with the current situation of typhoon tranche-1. The only way any typhoon is likely to get an Aesa radar upgrade is, if it is tranche-2 or higher. That means, what the UK is offering is not suitable for TurAF. (If there is such an offer) If we are to...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Exactly! The engine, that will give acceptable high super-cruise capability and supply enough power for electrical parts without detracting from performance as well as being able to propel an aircraft the size of TFX , needs to be 34-36000lbf class.

    No! Absolutely no! These are aircrafts that will use air breathing ramjet/scramjet engine combinations. They need to take in oxygen from the atmosphere. Hypersonic means an aircraft travelling over 5 times the speed of sound. Hence 5 Mach + . A lot of ICBMs and satellite carrying rockets travel...

    I appreciate your view about upgrading them. But if memory serves, there are programs among current users of tranche-1 to upgrade them to tranche-3 . How is that possible then? There appears to be for the UK upgrade programs on tranche-1; drop 1, drop 2, drop 3 and a drop 4 upgrade packages...

    UK has in it’s inventory, 52 tranche-1 typhoons. 35 of these are single seat and 17 are twin seat planes. They will be gradually brought out of commission until 2025. As they are, they are of no use to us. They need to be upgraded to tranche-3 status at least. Preferably to tranche-4 status with...

    How much of our “advanced” weapons we would be allowed to integrate on to the newly purchased F16-V70s, is the question one need to ask. Remember that these planes are going to have advanced US built Aesa radars and US built avionics. Even the upgrade kits may cause problems. I hope we don’t end...

    Actually Chaffe will be incorporated. But I doubt if the tips of the plane can handle the weight of a2a missiles. But since an Aesa radar will also be fitted, it is only logical that an a2a missile is fitted on to one of the pylons if required.

But Sungur for the Gokdeniz-ER need to have longer ranges to be on par with current block of Rolling Airframe Missiles. (10km) Also each Sungur missile as it is, 147cm in length...
