https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aksungura-milli-satcom-terminali/ Aksungur now furnished with indigenous satcom system giving it almost no limit in communication distance only restricted by its fuel. During the last test at Sinop when it launched the KGK ammunition, it was controlled from Ankara...

These are the most important projects for us. Akinci Aesa radar is feasible. But according to the article written by Ibrahim Sunnetci and shared here by @cabatli53 (#151) , the 29block 50+ and 71block 50M planes need permission from Lockheed Martin, for them to be equipped with indigenous Aesa...

EJ200 in standard form develops 13500lbf dry and 20200lbf WAB thrust. If a TVC Is added, it will develop 16200lbf dry and 23100 WAB thrust. TVC version somehow used a lot less fuel and significantly increased the life of the engine. Rolls Royce was offering us a standard EJ2XX version with an...

Yes! Everything will change. Even if they used the same engine they would have needed to redesign the lot. Because the weight of composite materials will be different to aluminium ones. Tusas probably produced this plane without talking to the forces that would be using it. Lesson learned!

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/ULAQ-karadan-kontrol-edilebilecek ULAQ coastal control unit is ready for trials. From a land position (probably high up) the SIKA unit will be able to control ULAQ boats from 200km away.

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/Aksungur-da-hedef-45-km-atis-menzili After successfully launching a KGK ammunition from Aksungur and hitting a target at 30+km, Tusas is aiming to increase the range to 45km.

Didn’t Kotil say that they have to rebuild the whole plane again anyway? Airforce and Army didn’t like the aluminium alloy body. They want composite materials. so the plane is being rebuilt. So they might as well use a new engine that we can have access to freely. AI24’s weight is 600kg. That is...

If you can’t get the P&W Canada’s engine. You will have to use another engine anyway. So all discussions about waiting for accreditation , structural changes etc are immaterial. These things will have to be done again. Important thing is to keep the plane active and in production. If an engine...

If push comes to shove, there is Motor Sich AI24 engine with 1650hp shaft power turbo prop engine. http://www.motorsich.com/eng/products/aircraft/tr/ai-24/

He said from what they have read, f35 prototype cost was 60billion dollars. (Of course the cost of the whole program was much higher due to problems encountered. But the initial prototype cost was 60billion dollars.)

Correct! But I wouldn‘t rule out 2 x 450HP turboprop powering Aksungur in the future! But PD222 should fit the bill. The way our commanders are going forward with our UAV fleet makes me think that; Akinci with more powerful engines (2 x 750HP) and extensive sensors (Aesa radar etc) will...

Yes. Less time in air. So it is a compromise. More altitude less time. More weight less time. Three variables: Altitude, Weight, Flight-Time If you increase one you decrease the others. To overcome this dilemma you need more power! More altitude also means more range for the KGK ammo. So more...

At the end of the video when KGK is a dot and you enlarge the picture you can see the wings opening. This corresponds with your explanation. Thanks! They really need to put those PD222 engines on these birds. Aksungur can only carry 150kg payload at 35000ft with these PD170 engines.

Why don’t the wings open after release ? OK there should be a delay. But surely, not this much!

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aksungur-kanatli-gudum-kiti-atisi/ Nice! Aksungur has released a KGK bomb with success. We now need these drones in numbers in our inventory!

In the article I shared here it says it is an Umtas/LUmtas launcher. But more likely to be a “Yalman” mast. But the article also states that if a longer range missile is produced as per Seahawk needs (penguin replacement) these could be altered to house those.

There appears to be serious alterations and additions on the front of the ship. It is as if it not just a CGI problem! But having read the modernisation in detail, you are correct. There does not seem to be a structural alteration planned. It is mainly radars, sensors and indigenous weapons...

This is an upgrade that will put these ships in a different league. Not just weapons and sensors/radars upgrade but a structural upgrade as well. Shape is becoming more stealthy. They are the fastest ships of the fleet. Unfortunately the upgrade was postponed due to need of ships of this...

Speed will definitely have role in range. But can winged ammo be released at supersonic speeds? If memory serves right, Israelis were able to release their rampage missiles only at 0.85-0.90 Mach. And not any higher. Rampage is, our trg300’s Israeli version. MAM-T has wings. Ok at 40000ft , air...

This article‘s front part is not quite right. It does not reflect true friction reasons. Placing sacks over Turkish soldiers in Suleimaniyah in Iraq was in response to Turkey not allowing US army free reign to invade Iraq in second gulf war through Turkish soil. Erdogan was not yet prime...
