    If Saki is TCG-Işın (I don’t know what Saki is, apart from a nice Japanese drink) , as @era_shield has stated, ULAQ needs to be closer than 8km, provided it has an EO mast height of ~5metres to be able to take pictures as we are seeing here. (a simple formula for horizon distance = 3.57*√h)...

    The engines Atmaca and SOM use, can not go faster than high subsonic. For a missile the size of SOM, dropped from a fast moving plane, they can do 0.95 Mach at most. But for a missile the size of Atmaca and sea skimming, the maximum speed it can manage is about 0.85-0.9 Mach.

    These are computer generated pictures and videos. So I wouldn’t read in to them too much. I hope they have put real life images of some of the projects they are undertaking. But, pardon me if I appear to be a pessimist. I hope you guys are correct in treating them as real life projects. Then...

    Actually they found that they won’t have any ships until 2030 apart from 3 Zumwalt destroyers , to put these guns on. Also in order to hit anything they need to be 100miles from the target. China’s long range missiles would not allow them to be that close. Although Zumwalts are “Stealthy” , it...

    Railgun or Electromagnetic gun is a novel idea. Definitely there is huge potential in the technology. But it is expensive, cumbersome and comes with a bunch of technical difficulties such as power needs and guidance electronics that are very hard to ignore and solve in short time. US is moving...

    Not Exactly! But ktj3200 is now ready to fit and work with SOM and Atmaca. It will also pave the way for a turbofan engine to fit in to the “gezgin” cruise missile too!

    According to this, Atmaca will have taken 11 years to join the inventory. The ktj3200 engine program first started in 2011. So that will have taken 10years. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/qualification-tests-of-ktj-3200-engine-still-ongoing-3940 These high tech machinery pieces take...

    When mentioning temperatures of turbine inlet area Dr. Aksit mentions Kelvin values of 1500 to near 1800. As you would know -273.15 degrees Centigrade is 0 Kelvin. So he is talking about 1525 degrees Centigrade at the upper end. The F110 engine’s specs give a turbine inlet temperature of 1510...

    You can see the differences in wing and landing gear straight away. One question though: If only 28 Anka’s have been delivered to date, how come in 2020 there is one with No 49 stamped on it, ready to fly?

    As I have mentioned in my post; Australians have already managed to produce ”Green Hydrogen” from water by electrolysis cheaply. According to reports it is half the price of equivalent gasoline energy. They are in the process of making bulk production feasible by 2030.

    The trick is to be able to produce Hydrogen at least as cheap as gasoline. For this, a measurement unit called GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) is used. 1 kg of Hydrogen is equivalent to 4 gallons of gasoline in terms of energy output. So 1 kg of hydrogen has to be 4dollars or less. Also...
