    https://www.savunmasanayist.com/ulaq-dsh-adalar-denizinde-neleri-degistirecek/ Very interesting article. Worth reading. But the last statement is the killer punchline: Having had her first submarine in 1888 to balance the power projection in the sea of Islands , Turkey now, after 133 years later...

    F15EX will cost us, 200million each. Empty, to the US airforce they are 87.7 million each. With parts, extra engines, maintenance package, weapons (As they will not give partial access to coding, we won’t be able to integrate our own weapons), etc. The unit price will escalate. Boeing just got a...

    You are correct! Nothing can be as devastating and powerful as having a nuclear weapon. I also agree that we should have our own nuclear weapons. But without publicising it. A bit like Israel did. May be even stealthier. If only a guess is there that we may have possession of nuclear deterrence...

    Not mentioned in open sources. Although it is 180cm in length, as it is going to be a modular design missile , the width should stay same throughout and length should vary. This is almost a copy of spear 3 missile which has a diameter of 180mm. So logically we are looking at a missile with an...

    Gurcan Okumus’s statement: ”TÜBİTAK SAGE geçmişten günümüze yeni teknolojilerde lider olmak için çalışmıştır. Açıkçası geçmişte bu ramjetli bir füze de bizim büyük hayalimizdi. Ama şu an RAMJET teknolojisinde geldiğimiz noktada artık SCRAMJET’i yeni ileri hedefimiz olarak görüyoruz.” Clearly...

    Another important point that needs to be stressed about the Scramjet engined hypersonic missiles is the fact that during the last stage of it‘s flight when the missile is most vulnerable to Air-Defence systems, it can increase it’s speed up to higher hypersonic (8-10mach) velocities where it...

    Very good interview with the Head of TÜBİTAK-Sage. I was especially moved by two comments: 1. Ramjet engine and missile test to be carried out next year. 2. Bozdogan based Turkish RAM system. Ramjet missile research will lead the way to our homegrown Meteor missile. Beauty of this engine is...

    Great to have a cheap multi barrel launcher at your disposal in battlefield. But if you can’t control firing and targeting from inside the vehicle, you might as well stick this on the back of a cheap Toyota L200 pickup truck.

    Short answer: There is no reason that a low observable aircraft should suffer in maneuverability, if properly designed, and the F-22 and YF-23 are proof of concept. Again, if an aircraft is properly designed for a particular role and maintains strict design discipline and focus on the goals for...

    TS1400 turboshaft engine core, if rebuilt as an axial flow turbofan, would yield itself to an engine with a thrust of 8500lbf to 9500lbf, according to Mr I Sunnetci. That probably takes in to account the afterburner thrust. So as dry thrust that engine should develop 6000lbf. That will be good...

    To be a stickler for exact numbers, you are correct. But when you have a company like Roketsan and Aselsan who have been instrumental in the development of ESSM and ESSM-2 missiles; Isn’t it right to think and expect that they can build a missile with the size and appearance of an enlarged...
