That missile does not look like an Iskender missile! Also it seems to miss it’s targets. Am I mistaken?

Well, if you listen to Mahmut Aksit, he says that although at the moment, they have not been given the job of developing a new engine for TFX, they will be producing the f110 engines for the prototypes and probably the first planes. This makes sense as TEI has extensive expertise in...

Two reasons : First one is theoretical and the second one is practical; 1. They tried to simulate the stability of flight of a bullet fired from a rifled gun. Rifling, irons out imperfections of the bullet surface and allows a bullet to fly in a more stable trajectory. Idea behind Rolling...

If you look carefully it is not spinning during flight. It is cold launched from it‘s canister and as it leaves the canister, it does a rotation until it’s fins open up. That opening of fins motion looks like spinning as the missile stabilises it self. But it is not spinning during flight.

Yes you are correct! It was built over sidewinder with stinger seeker components. As it rotates like stinger I got it mixed up. The supersonic 5-inch RIM-116 RAM Missile was originally developed using existing AIM-9 Sidewinder components along with a STINGER infrared frequency seeker. The RAM...

If we can make this missile go 10-12 km with 8km max altitude, then we have a winner in our hands. Then we do not need RAM systems from US. It will be as good as the RAM block 2. Honestly I don’t think why we shouldn’t. Because even the RAM missile is a derivative of a stinger missile. We...

That is the plan. But the ts1400 engined version will take longer. This engine has to pass qualification tests first with T625 Gokbey first. Then they will start testing it on t629.

Am I seeing right? The lines and geometry of the design is analogous to a stealth geometry. I wonder if they succeeded to bring down the RCS value of the helicopter as well! Too many flat surfaces!

Let‘s throw a spanner in the works! Where is the Mildar? Mildar is a force multiplier for a helicopter like Atak . Surely there must be a place to accommodate it!

It is true that the Russians have knowingly bombed our soldiers in Idlib. May they rest in peace! But unfortunately you put these events and it’s effects to one side when it is for the greater good of the country. Chinese have just started using indigenous engines only recently. Still at early...

Then you do not get what I am saying! You are thinking too simple! Russians are the ones that want to sell them. It doesn’t hurt to hear them. It also leaves doors open. Because they are not going to agree to our conditions 100%, the discussions mat be prolonged until we know where we stand...

I Please read my posts in detail and more carefully!

I am very much against using eastern block technology and equipment. All our defence set up is geared for western tech. But having said that I think it would not hurt to discuss and leave doors open. Chinese planes are still very much dependent on Russian engines. Their main point of reference...

So are these going to be CODAD propelled , weaponless OPV2100 ships? If so why bother? You are saying +4 ! Does that mean planned quantity is 6 altogether?

https://www.c4defence.com/en/message-from-russia-to-turkey-we-are-ready-to-negotiate-for-su-35-and-su-57/ Not the Su35 but Su57 should be discussed on the table if they are prepared to supply quickly together with their own airforce’s order, say 30-40 planes with source codes to enable us to fit...

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/Turk-Deniz-Kuvvetlerine-Anka-teslimati Turkish navy has received 2 more Anka weaponised UAV’s from Tusas. These are satcom version of the UAV with extended range. Keep them coming boys!

So let’s get this straight! These are the “OPV” ships we have been discussing here last few days. But will be produced with Milgem Corvette design parameters and specifications. Does that mean they will be F class ships? Or are they 2 new Milgem Corvette ships that will be produced in addition...

Ukraine paid 69 million dollars for 6 tb2’s , 3 ground control units and 200 mam-l weapons. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/baykar-delivered-second-batch-of-tb2-ucavs-to-ukraine-3760

This is something we will have to speculate, rather than know as it involves control units, who is buying it etc. etc. But one thing we know that Mr Bayraktar himself said that the cost of 12 TB2‘s was equal 1/5th of the cost of 10 Herons for which we paid 250 million in 2010. That puts it as...
