Exactly! That is what I am saying. It can’t cost more than 350-400 million. I wrote that as response to @Oublious ‘s comment : ”I think the price is not correct, the ship with sensor package would cost 400m dollar, with weapon package it could cost maybe 700 to 800 million dollar. Still cheaper...

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/tcg-tf-2000.htm And many other sites quote the same price. As more and more indiginous weapons platforms are used, the cost may comedown. But if I remember correctly, that Cafrad is best part it of 400 million on its own. Then as new...

https://mobile.twitter.com/SSDergilik Temel Kotil has spoken about Hurjet production; ”We haven’t given up on Malaysian bidding process. I have been there three times and will be there a fourth time soon. We believe in our product.” ”We are in the process of manufacturing. Within the next couple...

https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/01/bigger-business-turkey-unveils-f142.html?m=1 If this site is worth to go by, Dearsan is aiming high ! Their F142 frigate design is anything but simple. 142m length, 18.5m beam with 5500ton weight it is an ambitious design. It has all the bells and whistles...

May I remind all members that this is “TF-X Turkish fighter and trainer aircraft projects “ thread. I think the discussion is going off topic. Also for nearly two pages members have been discussing name issues for TFX. I personally would like to see more relevant discussion pertaining to the...

That price is totally impossible. I-Class should be around 350-400million dollars. That would include the VLS and the missiles. Siper can be more expensive. But if we don’t include development costs MILDAS should be cheaper than MK41 which was included in the original I-Class. Aster 30 missiles...

Aster 30 missiles are very agile with Pif-Paf systems and vector controls. They have successfully demonstrated multiple times they are accurate even against supersonic targets. They have RF seeker heads. Siper is still in development stage. We know that in the latest firing, they managed to...

My only logical guess would be, because the time limit on those blocks for “untouchability” is still valid. That is why we are requesting US to upgrade them. Also the newer planes will be more worth their while to spend dollars on them. Older ones can go through local “Ozgur” upgrade. Also if...

I looked up the dictionary meaning of a corvette: 1 : a warship ranking in the old sailing navies next below a frigate. 2 : a highly maneuverable armed escort ship that is smaller than a destroyer. 3 : with its modest fuel capacity and marginal seakeeping, a corvette isn’t suitable for...

There is a good article on the type214 subs we are building shared below. A lot of the points are answered there. I wouldn’t take standard specs given in wiki and other sites as gospel. Since, if you investigate and do a little calculation you will find a lot of discrepancies in the figures...

I hope they will be produced by TEI!

If we can recap about missiles like Bora, Lora (Israel), Iskander (Russia) and BP12 derivatives (China) ; These are all quasi ballistic missiles (They behave like ballistic. But have a lower altitude flight paths) . They expend their fuel when they reach their apogee. So they start to lose...

Our Bora missile reaches hypersonic speeds during it’s flight. It should have around 3.5-4.5 Mach speed at terminal stage depending on it’s weight after expending fuel. In fact most + 2 ton ballistic missiles with ranges more than 250km can easily reach hypersonic speeds. The main point is to...

Turkish Airforce needs at least 90 to replace the jet trainers. If another 90 are produced for CAS duties, we are looking at good part of 200 planes. If this is doubled with exports 400 units are easy to achieve. For this amount of planes you need 450+ engines. If not produced in house : 1...

It was I who wrote about Sinn Fein in Ireland and Other parties in Spain. I am afraid you are a bit misinformed. Sinn Fein dates back to 1902. They were outlawed in UK until 1974. But became a legal entity after that. Terrorist group IRA, although agreed to discuss disarming in 1998, it was in...

https://www.tusas.com/en/products/new-projects/original-development/hurjet Hurjet’s original wing area was 24m2. Tusas’s new page gives wing area of Hurjet as 35m2. This will give Hurjet a lot more lift. Hence short take off and landing capability with more payload. It would also give better...

I know. I was just being extra informative. Second line includes that. Better still just read @Khagan1923 ’s post #2452. He has said everything I would‘ve liked to have said.

Great news! But I wish they would give the altitudes at which these records were broken with payload weight too. Then it would mean more. Nevertheless, it is an achievement to be proud of.
