All very well about Turkey being self sufficient in her defence industry etc. But let us not forget that because we have joint development and production programs with the western companies, -be it, radar systems, F35 parts production, Jet engine parts, missile system development and part...

They were due to be delivered in September. But were delayed. If below news is correct, Philippines are not very happy for the delay. But the first two Atak helicopters are to be delivered next month now.

You may watch the bullet points here:

Probably is not a cheap radar. So only 8 Aesa radars for the 24 TB2s will be used. quote: Polonya tarafından her birinde 6 adet SİHA bulunan 4 setlik TB2 SİHA alımı (toplamda 24 adet) yapılacak. Her bir sette; 3 adet Baykar Mobil Yer Kontrol İstasyonu (Mobil YKİ) 6 adet MX-15 EO/IR Sensör 2...

Not necessarily! It says “certain” combat capabilities. Do you know of the engine usage licence agreement between GE and Tusas?

Just a small comment on above; We all know that Saab Gripen jet fighter has one of the best airframes in it’s class. This makes it very agile and achieve mach 2 speeds with a version of F404 engine developing 18100lbf. Akaer group has been instrumental in the development of the Saab Gripen. They...

According to the “armed forces of UK 2007-2008” site , the initial cost of the typhoon program was 16.7 billion pounds. (160 planes in total) Making it the highest ever for a military program In UK. That is 110 million pounds per plane. Qatar bought 24 of these for a contract of 6 billion...

Lhtech-800 was the starting point of the engine. According to TEI’s site, it has 2 stage radial compressor, reverse flow combustion chamber, 2 stage axial HP turbine section and a 2 stage axial power turbine.

According to the latest estimates it will cost approximately 65million pounds per unit to upgrade tranche 1 & 2 to tranche 4 level. Plane’s initial value has to be added to this too.

It is ts1400‘s “so called core” with all it’s guts renewed, changed in to an axial flow turbofan. In all honesty they might as well redesign the whole engine from scratch. It will probably be easier. Garrett 109 is a small high bypass 20inch diameter turbofan engine. (It’s turbine diameter must...

This Garrett engine is tiny compared to ts1400. Also it is a high bypass turbofan. (5:1). ( As an example; Ukranian engine AI222 is low bypass with AB has a bypass ratio of 1.19:1) Totally different. 20inches diameter contains the fan which has to be big to create the high bypass value and...

Ibrahim Sunnetci had mentioned in one of his articles that the ts1400 core and body would yield a turbofan engine with a thrust level of 6000lbf dry and 9-10000lbf with AB. Size wise it would be quite a demanding case to make the said power level. But can be done by extending the length of the...

N may stand for navalised engine?

I agree. But TCG Anadolu will be joining the Navy’s inventory soon. It needs navalised helicopters. If we can get these for the interim period, then that is a solution. As attack helicopters go, the 10 super cobra helicopters will fill in a void as well. But they are old and quite a bit outdated...

Is this a new multiple MAM-L release pod being tried on Akinci? https://mobile.twitter.com/BarbarosToprak2

My understanding on the Midlas system was such that no foreign missiles would be compatible with it. Likewise no Turkish vertically launched missile would be compatible with foreign VLS system either. So this notion of ESSM and Siper co-usage in locally produced VLS system, seems a bit erroneous...
