If you check, you will find that Kale has been forming partnerships like TEI. First with P&W in Izmir to produce engine components of F35 in 2010. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/kale-pratt-whitney-aircraft-engine-facility-opened-in-izmir-1640 Then TAEC with Rolls Royce in 2017 to...

Can you trust Kale to produce a turbofan version of that engine? It took them how many years to produce KTJ-3200? Still not in full service! Also KTJ-3200 is a throw-away engine. It’s inner parts won’t last if used as a UAV engine. We need TEI’s expertise for the UAV engine. You are correct...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tubitak-bilgem-gozcu-radari/ Isn’t it a weird coincidence that we are producing radars that can identify crafts/objects in the air that have small RCA values, after we have received and tried the S400 system? These objects being Su57, F35, F22, J20, Okhotnik etc.

They could develop from this very core, a turbofan which would be more economical and give more thrust. Two of those engines could fly a high subsonic Jet UAV. After all the main object of the TJ-300 exercise was to test themselves to see how good an axial flow jet engine they could make, prior...

Short burn or long burn would not affect the top speed of a modern missile if designed correctly , especially if you are comparing two very different missiles. A missile may be designed to reach high speed quickly and burn quickly or it may be designed to go long. Hence burn longer. It is to do...

Yes the air thicker at sea level. The speed of Bozdogan may be compromised. But you give figures as if you have tried it or have a source that says it can’t go over Mach 2.2. Can you provide a source? How come a missile like ESSM manages 4+ Mach at low altitudes to engage with incoming sea...

How can you say same range and capability? A missile with Bozdogan’s speed , (which is twice the speed of Sungur) and Bozdogan’s size, will have a much longer range than Sungur which is given as 6km by Roketsan. US has been testing aim9x in ground launch trials. With additional fuel and other...

Bozdogan’s size is the only disadvantage here. But we have mk29 type ESSM missile canisters on ships. Same type of canisters can be used. So if chosen and if it is more advantageous, why not? Yes. It will cost more than Sungur. Yes. It will take more space. Also it will be heavier. There are...

RAM is expensive. Each missile cost is as mentioned here, is close to a million dollars. You have 21 of those when you fill one battery. The missile has a speed of 2+ Mach . Bozdogan , if it costs same as aim9x, should be a third of a RAM missile with a top speed of 4+ Mach and a range more...

This is normal. As I explained in my previous post, TJ300 was produced as a trial for an axial flow jet engine prior to a larger turbofan, TEI knew they were going to be asked to produce for TFX.

Production of TJ-300, if you listen to Prof Aksit, was the result of TEI, experimenting on an axial flow engine. They knew they would be asked to produce an axial flow turbofan engine soon. So they wanted to produce a small engine as a trial run. It happened to fit the bill for an engine for...

PBS-TJ100 has a centrifugal compressor. These type of engines are old school engines. No more used but in turboshafts and small turbojets. It is however, more efficient where single compressor stages are used. A single centrifugal compressor stage can produce 3-4 times more compression than its...

Exactly ! The first firing test of Bozdoğan was carried out with it being fired from a stationary ground positioned F16 wing. That test also proved that we have an effective Sea-RAM missile in hand with a very good range. So, not just a WVR a2a missile, but, a very good Sea-RAM missile too!

Trlg-230 and MRAShM with half the range of Atmaca appear to be more convenient missiles for ULAQ, especially when you consider the fact that more of them can be carried, and these boats can be active 400km away from your shores with a stealthy cover anyway. But technically nothing should be...

Is this what you mean?

A simple and cheap strategic weapon : ULAQ , furnished with Atmaca and TRLG300 missiles can be 400km away from a shore based controller or a sea based ship that it is being controlled from. Through satcom it can target an enemy ship 250km away from itself with subsonic missiles or 130km away...

This is a small step in terms of our WVR air to air missile development but a big step in our air to air missile program. Now we can look forward to a family of missiles and of course a ramjet version as well. They will all come one after the other. One thing that is bewildering however, is the...

If Motor Sich could build an AI41 or even an AI31 copy , then I would jump in to this opportunity. But at the moment they are good at building what they have in their current library. Mainly high by-pass civil airliner engines, small cruise missile engines and turbo shafts and also a small...

OK! These pictures are nice but the latest news about it is even nicer! It completed it’s 30000+ft trials (with it’s landing gear inside) with success. https://www.raillynews.com/2020/10/The-second-tiha-has-successfully-completed-the-high-and-medium-altitude-asymmetric-thrust-test./

With our navy’s general approach of reluctance of ripping a perfectly good surface to accommodate another platform, may be over ruled here. There are political pressures in play and of course they are trying to get the most out of the LHD. Since F35B is no longer an option, UAV’s and may be even...
