    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    I do have confidence in my country and strongly believe in the exploration of hydrocarbons in land and in sea. It makes me happy to see new finds. Like all true Turks should be. But I am also a realist and can not be blind to world realities. As @Nein2.0(Nomad) has said there is no time now to...

    https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/converting-lhd-anadolu-to-a-drone-carrier-4536 Nice article. We may see an operational TB3 within 12 months. A jet UCAV however should prove to be more along the lines of what we actually need.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    You probably misunderstood! I meant neither is Russia, a Libya or an Iran or a Venezuela. But there are so many restrictions on their oil and gas sales. European countries and us are being pressurised not to buy Russian Gas and Oil. As you, I also said in my previous post, that we need enough...

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    This has got nothing to do with having Iron Resolve! The more you stand firm against these trusts the deeper you sink in to the mud. Chavez tried it in Venezuela. Look where it got them! They have the largest known oil reserves in the world. But the country is starving. Iran’s Mullah’s have a...

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Having substantial oil and gas reserves will not help us to be independent or richer or more developed. Just look at all the oil and gas rich countries. If you are not prepared to let the Oil-Trusts to take a big portion of the “Cake”, you have no chance. Even Russia is in deep economic and...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    In 2013 Turkish SSM ordered 10 Anka-S drones with 12 ground control stations at a cost of 290million US dollars. Tunisia purchased 3 Anka-S drones and 3 ground control stations for a price of 80 million US dollars. Simple arithmetic with inflation correction, gives you around 20million dollars...

    If there is a will there is a way! As per the article I shared from Defense Turkey Magazine, Meteksan is working closely with Baykar to incorporate it in to Bayraktar UAV’s. MILSAR is still in development stage. They were considering it for Anka too. The advantages it presents can not be swept...

    TB2 specs were recently updated to 700kg MTOW and 105HP engine. The update does not incorporate these changes though!

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I still think that for UCAV operations, MILSAR SAR UAV GMTI Radar is the way forward. It will operate with a 30km range be it cloudy, rainy, snowy. It can differentiate autonomously between civilian equipment/people and military. It can target accordingly...

    No they are not claiming CEP of 1m. It is better than 1m CEP if all fall within 1m diameter. I remember during our live tests in Burdur during July, where my MIT Physics Doctorate bodies did all the calculations; they managed to hit the 5-7 km targets on the slopes of the hills all within 10m...

    This missile has been in Roketsan’s site for quite sometime. But it hasn’t really gone in to serial production. Instead Turkish Land forces have said they were going to buy the Ukrainian version until Roketsan’s matured. Later the Konus missile with 5km range, were to be manufactured at MKEK...

    Can anybody believe that statement? “ 6 consecutive rounds delivered with only a deviation of 1m. “ ? Even Excalibur shells are not that accurate! Whoever wrote that article needs to get his head examined. Even with the new ”Mesafece duzeltme system” that Roketsan has introduced they only...

    No. Not really! 😇😀 I am dreaming about new version of TB2 and TB3. Akinci is well known to all by now. Until such time that it can thwart enemy radars and get herself accepted as battle-proven drone like her little brother, we can only wonder what it can do and how efficiently. There has been...
