Mahmut Akşit was talking about discussions with GE regarding producing both f404 and f110 engines at TEI. So it looks like the prototypes are going to be with GE engines. But when you look at how KAI T50 is being offered to potential customers with EJ200 or F414 engines, it is logical that...

Please explain and prove your claim with concrete evidence.

Instead of arguing which tank design is best I would suggest reading below article in detail. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/altay-leopard-2a6-merkava-iv-ve-abramsa-karsi-umtas-tow-spike-nlos-ve-ataka/

https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/torpedo-tubes-section-50-for-submarines-manufactured-in-turkey-for-the-first-time-4818 The bow section (Section 50), containing submarine torpedo tubes, was produced for the first time in Turkey with domestic and national resources, under STM’s...

Looking at the size values given above of this engine, do you think it will fit in to the engine compartment of Altay?

https://www.defenceturk.net/denizde-ikmal-muharebe-destek-gemisi-suya-iniyor First DIMDEG naval fleet replenishment ship is being launched. It was originally planned to be in the Navy‘s inventory by 2023. But it now seems more logical that this is going to be in 2024. It is a 194 m long 22000...

In a way your argument is correct. But that was only by luck that we found out the deficiencies of our leo2 tanks. Had we not had the costly experiences of the Euphrates Shield and the Afrin conflict we would not be in a position of correcting the mistakes of previous design parameters. This is...

It may be ready next year. But it will have to go through Turkish Army’s rigorous tests before accepted. Same goes for the Utku engine. First the factory will complete it’s tests. Then the Army. They can start the test on the L3 Harris power pack straight away. (Provided it will fit in the...

Gentlemen please let’s stay on topic without going in to political side of it.

I guess Utku will take a long time to become fully operational. Also the hybrid engine solution is in the same boat. So the interim solution is the current one with L3-Harris and Allison power pack. Apparently The AVDS of L3-Harris has 80% common parts with the engine that Catterpillar Defence...

If the production unit is not in Germany, German government does not have much to say. Just like MTU tank motor factory is owned by RR but the factory is in Germany and RR can not make MTU to sell the motor to Turkey.

https://www.milliyet.com.tr/ekonomi/altay-tankinin-motoru-icin-guney-kore-ile-imzalar-atildi-6624978 Another long winded project. But it is at least a start. However it is important that after the initial 8-12 month testing period, the company that will undertake the responsibility of building...

Dear members please refrain from personalising your comments. Even if we are not in agreement we can be civil. No need for name calling! Such posts will be deleted. Any further escalation may result in warnings.

I think the only engine that fits is TEI’s TJ90. But the electrical output of the Czech engine is more suitable for the job. As long as the supply line doesn’t falter, purchasing off the shelf engines is OK. It also takes the pressure off of our engine manufacturers. We really shouldn’t be...

According to this news, Kuzgun is to have a Czech PBS TJ40 jet engine to power it.

That is not the case I am afraid. IP rights issue was to do with Rolls Royce and TR Motor. Also converging all engine production under the same umbrella would give more control. But can TRMotor be up to the task of designing such a complex engine? Probably not as they are seeking technical...

Let us leave the political side of the Altay project to one side. Everyone knows what happened and why, in their own way. Important point is, with current situation where are we? Can we have a MBT production line churning out Altay Tanks in numbers? If so! When? Which company is most qualified...

We definitely needed all these motors. But why on earth no one has ever given the go ahead to TEI to design and produce a turbofan motor for TFX or even for Hurjet? Instead of tossing around with TR Motor and now with Ivchenko Progress, it is beyond belief that TEI has not been asked to do the...
