Good news! But do they have a matching transmission? That is almost as important as the engine if not more difficult to match to such a powerful engine.

Great news! Short cut to obtaining technology, instead of trying to re invent it.

If the foreign engine is 170 and your engine is 30kg heavier, then you are ~17.5% heavier. But you have 7% more power available. So that actually more than compensates it. Important point here is the fuel consumption of the engine. But according to published data the weight of the engine is 195...

As the publisher said “as a last resort” case Russian or Chinese engines can be thought of. This is if The US will not sell the f404/414 engines. Then as the Turkish saying goes to get us out of water we will hold on to the serpent’s tail. Let us be realistic. TR Motor is not an engine producer...

Well, KAI T50 is being offered to potential buyers with 3 engine options; f404 : 17700lbf thrust (although there is a version that develops 19000lbf too) EJ200 : 20200lbf thrust f414 : 22000lbf thrust These engines are quite similar in size and weight. So it is possible for all three engines...

Correct! As we are in good cooperation mood with BAE Systems in TFX program we could ask them to work together with us in developing the Turkish version of the Hyper Velocity Projectile weapons systems. This would benefit our precision artillery round and railgun development programs too as...

I would like those 127mm guns to fire hyper velocity rounds too. It is the future of these bigger guns as per the US navy is experimenting. https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/hyper-velocity-projectile-hvp...

Please also note that Kuzgun is not just a jet or rocket propelled missile. It is a modular construction missile. It can be used in many forms ; 1. Air to ground : solid fuelled rocket, jet engined rocket, gliding bomb (as jdam), winged gliding bomb (as HGK) 2. From Sea or surface , to surface ...

I said “supposedly” ! Then again according to UK Daily Mail it is a fact https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8957019/China-used-secret-microwave-pulse-weapon-Indian-soldiers.html There is no such concrete weapon in use to stop these missiles as of now. But a lot is being developed. And...

Good! But Is there a “credible” instance where this is used to do what you say it can do? Only time microwaves were supposedly used was against the Indian army by the Chinese. Their weapon was a millimetre microwave weapon which worked like a commercial microwave to give a burning sensation to...

Operative word being “credible”; Railgun technology with weapons lock still not feasibly tested. Laser-gun lock long enough at target not possible due to plasma cloud and too high a speed! So which directed high energy weapon did you have in mind?

If only it was furnished with a more powerful engine! In stead of f404, an f414 class engine would make it perform closer to our f16’s.

We need to join this band wagon soon. There is no credible defence against hypersonic weapons. They are just too fast to intercept in time. According to reports on Russian zircon missile, as it travels through dense air at 8 Mach speed it ionises the air surrounding it, making it impossible for...

Yes! But not when I had wrıtten this 5 days ago. In fact I had then realised that our side was jumping the gun! Cavusoglu should have checked properly what the pentagon was asking for before jumping on the band wagon!

I found out after I shared his video that he was a bit suspect and not fully credible according to various other sites. I am glad you concur with that too. So may be we should disregard his video altogether! Sorry if I misguided !

Produce our own. We were part developers of RAM block 2 and ESSM systems. We can copy paste and re name them of our own if needed. Worst case scenario is buying equivalents from Chinese (Via Pakistan). This is in away “blessing in disguise”! At least this way we are developing our own industry...

I don’t know how dependable this guy is. But according to this YouTube message he has put on the web, there are extensive embargoes on Turkey implemented by US and even Italy on various naval projects. Hence the delay on the I class frigate. Mainly ESSM block 2, MK41 VLS system and RAM block 2...

You mean more information than what is on ASELSAN’s site? https://www.aselsan.com.tr/KARAGOZ_Balonlu_Gozetleme_Sistemi_Urun_Ailesi_2661.pdf https://www.aselsan.com.tr/Aerostat_Surveillance_System_Product_Family_4188.pdf

Main reason behind the start of Hurjet Project was to give Turkish Airforce a modern and contemporary trainer aircraft to replace the ageing T38 Trainers. Also give the pilots to be , a platform that will make them accustomed to when flying f35 and TFX planes. So a lot of the cockpit and...

Have you tried Googling reference books related to Electro Optical Systems , Also later adding “military” and “handbook of“ to the search parameters? There are quite a lot of publications you can purchase. But there are papers and sites that give you a lot of information too. here are a few...
