When compared to each other, Rafale cost and F35 cost may not look too different. Germany “pegged” the price of its 35 units of F35 at 8.4 billion dollars. India bought 36 Rafale jets for 8.7billion dollars. Germany signed the deal in 2022. The 7.7% inflation corrected price puts German...

To suggest that a country like Malaysia can’t afford KAAN, is total nonsense. Countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam all can afford to buy KAAN. They all have descent nominal GDPs and national wealth to invest in our plane. Malaysia is one of the “Tiger economies”...

A landing strip is not enough. You need special ground systems, ancillaries and specially trained crew, in addition to the specially designed enclosures to house step platforms and equipment. If we go over just a few small details: - A minimum capacity of 2,100 cubic feet of nitrogen at 3,500...

Today is the 101st year of the Republic of Turkiye. Happy Republic day to all the Turks in the forum.

Interesting idea. But there isn‘t much info about how it works. They seem to be driving the compressor section with an electric motor that is powered by a generator, rather than using the turbine section as in conventional jet engines. According to their documentation the engine is adaptive...

Stay in topic and be civil. Off topic posts are to be deleted.

First of all please be reminded that this is the UAV/UCAV thread. Anka 4 has been mentioned above. Does anyone know what Anka-4 is? If memory serves, the first time it was mentioned was by Temel Kotil, when he was talking about Anka-3. He said something about producing the supersonic version...

Guys! Let’s not get carried away please. Instead of getting personal, focus on the subject in hand. Not everybody will be of the same opinion as you. Taking that in to account, please discuss yor views civilly without being nasty to each other.

If Syria and Iraq are sovereign states, any action over their airspace is in violation of international law if they have not consented to it. US, has the “so called” rights over Iraqi airspace as the victors of the last gulf war. But over Syria they are disregarding all international norms...

What I would like to know is; Whose airspace was violated by Israel to carry out these attacks? Or did Iraq, Syria and Jordan allow their air spaces to be used?

Having clarified that point, it would be nice to know, if you would bring some light to the very fact that, why we are pursuing an inferior gun for our second batch of I-Class frigates. Would it not be more feasible to ask MKE to develop our “Super-Rapid” version? You are correct in the fact...

https://turdef.com/article/mke-develops-extended-range-122-mm-artillery-rocket MKE has developed a new version of 122mm artillery rockets with deployable wings which extends the rocket’s 40km maximum range to 67.5km level. That is similar range of trg230. This opens the door to apply same...

It needs all new domestically developed avionics and radar etc to be compatible with EF2000. Not feasible. Edit: If we were to buy 120 planes. Yes it would be worth it.

There are, as far as I know, three versions of ECRS Aesa radars, if you do not count the mechanical one, the ECRS-M. Mk0 was the Leonardo-UK developed one (Qatari planes have this). Then came the Hensoldt developed one which is Mk1. This is the latest one on German Tranche-4 planes being built...

Never mind the wings, I thought what left Anka-3 was orange coloured???

No one has said anything about the Tolun being released upside down. This is a bit like the Russian KGK bombs that are released upside down. Then it rotates and opens its wings. Quite different to the KGK release video below

In supersonic aircrafts, surpassing the supersonic barrier is important. The drag coefficient increases rapidly as the aircraft nears the Mach 1. It then stays at high levels till about Mach 1.1-1.2 . After Mach1.2 it drops down hyperbolically. It is therefore not advisable to stay in transonic...
