With arresting wires you only need less than 100m to stop the plane. But if you want to make use of the full load capacity of your plane, you need a lot of wing and engine power and most importantly long runway. Varan’s port side runway is for landing. Take off runway starts from the aft of the...

232 m for the whole ship. You have a big area at the back that is not included in the deck. Also there is the cut-out for the lift. If you take them all out you may end up with a deck shorter than 200 metres.

The surface of TCG Anadolu was tempered especially to withstand f35’s engine heat. If they start laying arresting wires, they will have to destroy parts of this surface. Also if they want to use both UAV and Hurjet, then hydraulic arresting system is no good. They need electromagnetic system to...

Hal Tejas takes off from the 160-180m runway. Lands under 90m. At land tests Hal Tejas with limited load took off from a 125m runway.

I would like to hear that the new Aselsan Aesa radar also been fitted to these!

I had discussed this in earlier posts and in other forums with a lot of resistance from others. Hurjet needs a little help with wing area (HalTejas is a delta wing plane giving it a lot more lift. Also we don’t know how heavy Hal Tejas was at take off) . But with a TVC version of EJ200 at 30%...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tomahawk-deniz-hedeflerini-vurabilecek/ US is bringing on a new sea warfare strategy. Tomahawk missiles will be able to hit moving sea targets. This will be some big step against the ever growing Chinese Navy. From around 2400km away with a CEP of 5m , they will...

What has this got to do with the explosive power of the MRAShM? Also I was pointing out that the missile flight profile and performance must have been optimised for sea skimming flight. Hence it is probably most comfortable and fastest at this mode. By the way; I agree with what you say. But as...

As it is a sea skimming missile in design, it will have to get down to sea skimming altitudes to be effective and during the last 25-30 km it needs to be as fast as possible to get to it’s target since within that last 30km it will start to be visible to enemy radars. Another point is that...

On it’s specs it says it can reach 0.9 Mach speed at an altitude of 5000ft. That means either any higher, then it may not have enough oxygen as the air is rarified and performance drops, or any lower, then the air is too dense for it to achieve high subsonic. But as the latter is directly...

This engine is great for MRAShM. But it could also be used on our KGK Mk84 range of gliding ammunitions, to give them extra range. US is already trying this with their JSOW and achieved ranges around 555km...

Do you really believe that TCG Anadolu cost only 345 million dollars? In a previous speech that I personally listened to, twice to be sure, Mr Ismail Demir said the cost of this ship , let us say, is normally over 1 billion Euros. But we managed to produce it for 35%less. In other words for...

Hisar RF is not like ESSM. It has a dual pulse solid fuel motor. It will be fired from indigenous VLS system MDAS quad packed canisters. On the other hand, G40 missile is similar in physical form to ESSM. With a booster it “may” be good enough to be a Siper missile. Both G40 and Hisar missiles...

https://www.defenceturk.net/yerli-aesa-radar-en-az-f-16-viperdaki-apg-83-kadar-kabiliyetli-olacak The Aesa radar systems planned to be incorporated in to our F16’s will be at least as good and as capable as the apg83 radars used by V70 vipers.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/deniz-platformlari-hisar-rf-fuzesi/ Turkish naval ships will have the protection umbrella of Hisar-RF missile system. In place of the ESSM systems with similar range and characteristics, Hisar-RF missiles will be launched from ships like I-class frigates using...

Well, as new Aesa radars will be incorporated into our f16’s in the next few years, there is no need to buy any foreign made planes. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aselsan-yerli-aesa-radar/

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tcg-anadolu-katlanabilir-kanatli-siha/ TCG Anadolu is going to have folded wing UAV’s stationed on it’s deck. Although these UAV’s won’t be able to carry out air-to-air engagements, they will be used in air-to-surface bombing operations. TB3 of Baykar seems to be...

If this engine is really capable of developing 1000HP power, then why not turn this in to an electrodiesel and use it in a hybrid configuration with a 7-800 HP Lithium/Ion battery pack, to drive a 75 ton tank? No transmission and enormous torque with silent running when needed as well!

Even if the runway is moved toward port side where the left wing overhangs a bit, it is not possible for Anka, Aksungur and Akinci to land or take off from TCG Anadolu as there just isn’t enough clearance for safe movement on deck and in lifts unless wings are fully collapsible. Also I don’t see...
