Anka stays in the air no less than 30 hours. At a constant cruising speed of 200 km , that makes, 6000km. In other words a range of just about 3000km. We’ve sold them to Tunisia.

Actually I can’t find where I read it. But after checking what @Philips has provided, it seems quite likely that f404 too is subject to ITAR restrictions. Turkey probably, having signed a memorandum of intent with Eurojet, used it as leverage with GE for f404 and got the engines for Hurjet. USA...

İ think on top of those reasons you have mentioned, EJ200 has always been used in twin engine format. It has not been supplied in a single use format. Hal Tejas too, went for the f414 rather than ej200, in spite of the fact that RR were offering it with TVC, that improved life of engine and...

Here is a statement from an article about Hurjet and f404: Moreover, selecting the EJ200 over the F404 could possibly position the Hürjet as a non-ITAR (i.e., free of subsystem with US export controls) option. In fact, an EJ200-equipped Hürjet would be the sole ITAR-free trainer aircraft option...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/gokhan-hava-hava-fuzesi-ramjet/ An interesting article for those who are not fully aware of particulars of ramjet technology in a2a missiles. One thing they have omitted in the article, is the throttle controllable capacity of Meteor missile. This capability...

If I understand it correctly, CFR is not ITAR. CFR is : Code Of Federal Regulation ITAR is : International Traffic in Arms Regulation Two distinctly separate systems of regulation. Export of jet engines’ regulation under ITAR is a separate issue. Apparently even China had found a loophole to...

If I am not mistaken, F404 engine being an engine for light aircraft and for training aircraft is exempt from US ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) conditions. Hence free to export without any special export license permissions. F414 and bigger engines are a different story though...

İ wonder where the engine is coming from? TEI under license or GE/US?

Is this for real? Or is it just wishful thinking? If this should work, it would make this ship so formidable.

That is double Dutch to me. But I know that Netherlands is no friend of this Turkish administration. That is a known fact. In fact they sing from the same hymn sheet of the French. But when it comes to UK; Irrespective of the current Turkish administration’s shortcomings, the British government...

As you are living in Netherlands you should know that in Western world governments do not have much say over how private companies conduct their affairs. Unless they contradict the national security. War equipment manufacturers and “civilian” aviation parts manufacturers are governed by...

The problem with Qatar in TFX engine project had nothing to do with Britain liking to disliking Qatar. RR, simply did not want a third party to have access to the engine technology they were going to release to Kale and Turkey. Qatar having 49% share in TR Motor meant this could not be achieved...

You are talking about a small company in suburban England that produces small civilian aircraft fuel valves that decided on its own not to supply these to Bayraktar when Armenian embassy told them that their valves were being used in active warfare. Nothing to do with RR nor with UK government...

These are the real Diesel engine Gurus. They specialise in Diesel engines. But mainly in Marine and railway locomotive engines. You may find that this particular engine too is for same type of end use. But, interestingly Tulomsas has declared that they are subcontractors for the Altay Tank. In...

RR had originally offered to produce an engine in Turkey with Kale for TFX and had no reservations about us selling it to third parties. Their only condition was not to pass on the technology to third parties. We are already working with UK’s BAE Systems to develop our TFX. A collaboration in...

If I am not mistaken, their main guns will be changed with the new MKE 76mm guns when they become available.

You need to read the complete article published and shared here. It is not as clear cut as this news is portraying. It is talking about an advantage Turkey‘s Navy is going to have in 2027, when all 6 subs are in service. But…. What the article and this news clip don’t mention is the fact that...

I can’t see a phalanx in this picture!
