They are purpose built ships for coastline security and search and rescue. They only have 2x127mm gun and a 40mm main gun as armament. they do have a 10ton capacity helicopter landing platform. But I don’t think they carry a dedicated helicopter themselves. Also do not possess the stealthy...

I doubt it will be, if it is still in the hands of BMC clowns. They couldn’t even modernise leo4 tanks.

Actually I don’t think that they ever caught up with the West. There is a saying ; There is more than one way to skin a cat. Russians/Soviets made practical machines instead of high tech elaborate machines, that served their purpose. When US spent millions of dollars to perfect a ballpoint pen...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akbaba-anti-radyasyon-fuzesi-zikredildi/ Turkish HARM (High-Speed Anti Radiation Missile) named as Akbaba has been openly discussed by the military. Unfortunately there are few mistakes in the specifications of the HARM missile mentioned in above article. AGM-88...

They have done the hard work at a very short time. It doesn’t take long to reach to the final point. I agree with @TheInsider about the Vulcano and Dart ammo. Especially Vulcano is a game changer. But high speed fire rate will increase kill rate drastically if you are not using smart ammo. It...

Well, they are the project owners. They are the ones to decide what has to be done to achieve a first class gun. Aselsan is the fire control system developer. We know that. And they already have a very good system that is operational on the Oto Melara guns. Problem is with the speed of the gun...

Last one is , ease of inspection of rivets. This is what I found with google search: Pros Rivets are cheap Riveting can be done regardless of the position/location. (vertical, etc.) Very high shear strength and resistance from fatigue Removing a rivet causes less damage than a welded joint...

I don’t see the point of this gun as it is, when our new ships have a much better version of it, already on them. Our companies like Aselsan and Roketsan have always produced an equipment that is at least as good if not better than the equivalent of current foreign alternative. Atmaca, Bora...

Aluminium bodies? Al not heat friendly. rivets give stronger joints

You are correct! External storage is for sure. But internally no! https://www.overtdefense.com/2019/08/16/us-turkish-cruise-missile-som-j-may-be-a-victim-of-f-35-no-sale-fallout/

SOM-J was specially produced as a deep strike missile that can hit moving sea targets as well. It most definitely will be integrated in to TFX.

Actually, the Russian turbine blade manufacturing is way behind it’s western counterparts. They still use super alloys in the manufacture of their engine blades. Pls see below. As can be seen, the RD33 uses super alloys in the blades. Their life span is much shorter and need maintenance more...

It all depends on what you expect from your design, what your priorities are. If you look at the main disadvantages of a fenestron: Greater weight, therefore greater power requirement and more air resistance brought by the enclosed structure Higher cost to construct. More power is needed during...

Initial T929 engines are going to be Ukrainian MotorSich made. 14 engines have been ordered. Which means at least 6 prototypes. But as the number is limited to 14 engines, we must be quite confident about the emergence of TS3000 turbo shafts in time for serial production...

With your permission, Let us translate as not everyone is fluent in Tukish language here! Albania is actually adding a further 8million Euros to its 35 million Euro allocated budget for the purchase of 6 TB2’s with ground control centres.

https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/turkey-says-it-exported-armed-uavs-to-saudi-arabia Just came across this news! Apparently we have sold 3 armed UAV’s to Saudi Arabia. Although it is not stated which one, it has to be either TB2 or Anka. Unless it is the armed Vestel Karayel. But...

Türksat 5A was launched in to space in January this year. Now it is being commissioned in to service. Tests have been carried out on the Türksat 5A, which reached geosynchronous orbit in space as of May 4, Karaismailoğlu said, adding that orbital tests began on May 5 and were "successfully...

Exactly! The rocket engines of these missiles only work for few seconds to bring them to their top speeds. Then they travel with their kinetic energy. As they are moving without thrust they are being effected by gravity. So can be deemed to have a “ballistic” trajectory. But a throttle...
