Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! To me that is an ugly bitch! This is beautiful:

Most modern jet fighters will cruise around 980km/hour (0.8 Mach) and at an altitude of around 40000ft. In fact that is the speed and altitude at which they are most efficient with respect to engine performance and fuel consumption. Unless there is an urgent battle, a plane has to join, it will...

900km/hr is not too slow a speed. OK, it is not supersonic. But remember that the next version of MIUS will be supersonic. Also in terms of agility I think it will outperform F16 Since there will be no G force constraints. In fact Mr Bayraktar specifically mentioned that it will fight against...

With 6 new Istif Class ships their navy will have more modern frigates than Turkish navy.😂

A car can be travelling at 200km/hour on a motorway, and you could be walking at a speed of 3km/hour. But if you adjust your speed and direction of walking well enough, you can still hit the car. S400 works somehow in a similar way. The 250 and 200km range missiles are capable of just about...

Good simple straightforward maths calculation. But, different airframes and different designs behave differently with respect to lift and speed through air. One simple example is F414 engine; Mako/Heat plane does max 1.6 Mach (single engined) Gripen jet does 2 Mach (single engined) HAL TED BF...

We mustn’t forget that the wings will be folded!

https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/milli-turbojet-motoru-ktj-3200un-som-fuzesine-entegrasyonu-basladi/ Finally it is being utilised. Since integration of ktj 3200 is now in progress to SOM, it must be ready and approved.

TB3 MTOW is going to be 1200 kg in total. MIUS is going to be in excess of 3500kg. It is difficult to use the same hydraulic arresting wire system for stopping both planes unless TB3 is extra strengthened or another method of varying the hydraulic pressure is found. Otherwise electromagnetic...

Drones like TB3 and subsonic/supersonic MIUS will be able to provide good defensive cover to TCG Anadolu. But we mustn’t forget that, all but foremost, this is an LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock). Hence has to be treated and deployed as such. Even if we had access to F35B planes, it would not have...

Then for a person like that, a great insight at least. That ship needs as much defensive missiles as you can cram in to it’s nooks and crannies. Since we won’t have TF2000 for along time, we should take a page from Japan’s, re: of their “helicopter destroyers” Like the Hyuga class: check out the...

That is one expensive defensive set-up. But that ship needed something like that. Now it is the turn of ESSM or G40 launchers! That will complete one level of defence at least.

İbrahim Sunnetci had mentioned in one of his articles that an engine the size of TS1400 would lend itself to a turbofan with 8-9000lbf thrust if necessary changes to the flow characteristics of the engine were made. This would mean around 5-6000lbf dry thrust.

I understand where you are coming from. I agree that we need more planes. CAS is not the main issue. Yes! But do we need more good dog-fighters? Or do we need good BVR fighters? In my opinion, we need planes that can get to it’s stand off position quickly (super cruise at altitude) , planes...

Su 57 is a monster of a plane. It looks most capable for air superiority, especially with the izdeliye 30 integrated. But it is Russian. So much change is needed within our system. Deliveries will be post 2027 if Russian orders are met first. It should be the last resort. Gripen is full of...

These upgrades are done with most parts coming from LM in kit form. Only a handful of parts are produced by Tusas. After this modernisation work, there will be a complete overhaul and modernisation of avionics. This though without the new Aesa radar is not going to give an edge to our airforce...

I think that the SUNGUR Missile, which I believe has a Mach 2.2+ speed, uses an "annular blast fragmentation" type warhead of at least 3kg like the Stinger. If developed as a block 2 version with higher altitude and longer range, it will be just what the doctor ordered. In fact according to head...

Why get a car that “drives like Mercedes” when you can get the real Mc Coy. As @UkroTurk 🚬 has mentioned both Phalanx and Gokdeniz are superior to Sea Zenith, which is much slower and 1980’s technology. RAM or a good 1 to10+km range 2+Mach missile that can operate like a RAM, is also essential...

These ships will be the most effective and modern ships of the fleet after their modernisation are completed . Originally programmed for February 2021 for the first ship’s delivery and postponed due to intensified activity in the Eastern Med; They are also the fastest ships in the fleet...

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/ROKETSAN-ucak-bombalarinin-etkinligini-artiriyor Same news. But bit more write up on the subject. Apparently Roketsan is fitting TEBER guidance kit to the particle effect Mk81 and Mk82 bombs to increase their effectiveness and precision...
