    Japan, Vietnam sign defense deal as China worries loom

    Can you clarify as to how you have come to the idea that Chinese and Japanese Navies are ahead of US? Regarding Chinese fighting US; I don’t think that this will ever happen. Two nuclear powers will not fight each other. But Chinese may fight Japan, Taiwan and Korea. US will help them and use...

With investment in latest CNC equipment they can now work on the motor frame 90% faster. On hybrid locomotive engines...

    Our new MRAShM with TJ-300 engine could be a candidate for this ship if they decide not to use the Atmaca. With radars renewed they may decide on the latter.

    As medium to longer range missiles go, average speed of meteor compared to solid fuelled rockets is slower. (Hence it takes longer to get to it’s target). This is due to it’s throttle able engine coasting until it is in range of target. But the situation changes when it is near the target. That...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Regarding our BVR air to air missiles and their range; I would have thought it would be feasible to develop an air to air missile with a dual pulse motor? PL15 of China and AIM-260 of US both have dual pulse motors and they have ranges of 300+ km and 200+km respectively. Due to the dual pulse...

    Have you checked out the engines of freedom class? 47 knot max speed achieved with 2 x RR MT30 gas turbines and 4 x RR waterjets. Plus Pielstick diesels. It is a 3500+ ton ship. More like I-Class in size but heavier. But it is a versatile ship like the Milgem class. Pohang is the lightweight...

    @Knowledgeseeker I-Class and Ada Class belong to Milgem group of ships. They are stealthy and very adaptable ships. They can house most modern radars, weapons and VLS missiles. Turkish ship building has improved greatly. These ships are at least at the same level of their western equivalents. As...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think F22 Raptor uses AN/APG77v1 Aesa radar with GaAs TR modules. Again as per @TheInsider pointed out, it can be used passively. This radar gives SAR/GMTI functionality to the aircraft.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think you mean Passive Electronically-Scanned Array ; PESA. They are quite different to AESA radars. Is the nose cone of TFX suitable for a PESA? That is another question! But I think the advantages of a good GaN based Aesa radar will outweigh the advantages of a PESA radar. PESA radars are...

    Russians said, if US wants to buy it they can sell S400 to them too. It is not an assault weapon. But a defensive one. Besides, Russians as mentioned before, do not sell the full fledged version to export. Re : our purchase of Patriot : US offer was too expensive and contained no real TOT...

    Bucking The Allied Frigate Trend

    Canada is the second largest country in the world in terms of land it occupies. It has oceans in North, West and East. The north is frozen most of the year.
