I agree that these ships are not built for protection of larger platforms. That is the duty of the Type26 (City Class) frigates, which are in fact the natural and logical choice to fit between I-Class and TF-2000. Type 31 (Inspiration Class) being a new ship is actually the replacement of the...

UK offered HMS Monmouth (already decommissioned) and HMS Montrose (Still active) to the Greeks as a gift if they bought 4 Type31 frigates . But they opted for the French ships. So in reality the British have given up on these ships. They are being used as sweeteners to entice customers to buy...

As it is almost impossible to crack the security codes of communication transmissions, NO! If it were possible, then there would be no Link-16, IFF, Peace Eagles, Predator Drones, Loyal Wingman etc etc.

If you read what @GoatsMilk says, he is quoting a situation in the past. The engine was Austrian Rotax licensed by Canada, propeller German, Flir Wescam Canada, fuel pump and bomb rack British, almost all electronic stuff was of foreign origin. The Fuselage and most importantly the software...

Great article. Whoever sets up that list ought to read this forum first before doing the 2023 list. Another very important point is the strength and power that lies in people when defending their homeland. Vietnam and Ukraine are good examples of this.

TEI has been producing the Blackhawk T-70 helicopter engines in house for over a year now. The TEI-T701D engine has a “T” connotation showing that it is manufactured in Turkey. The Indigenisation of parts have been constantly increasing, and a very high degree of parts including the hottest...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/f-16-blok-70-turk-hava-kuvvetlerine-ne-katar/ A fairly in depth analysis of prospective f16V70 purchase and upgrade of 79 planes to V70 status of Turkish airforce. Need to increase numbers of our fleet and whilst doing that bringing the fleet to modern 4++...

When you buy F35 planes from US, it isn’t just a bare plane that you buy. There is training, ground set up systems, spares, ancillary equipment, integrated weapons, special sensors etc etc Germany bought 35 planes for a price of 8.4 billion dollars. That makes 240 million dollars a piece. Canada...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/t70-helikopterinde-abd-kongresinden-ilave-sure-istenilecek/ It is mentioned by “savunmsanayist” article above.

Your guess is as good as mine. Even US is finding it difficult to capture them. As they are not fully submerged but semi submerged, they are difficult to see on a ship’s radar. They must be noisy and should give off enough noise to be noticed. But even then only 15% of all narco subs are being...

It can take certain responsibilities of T-70. Already Turkish Gendarmery units are being delivered with Gokbey, configured for military use. It is smaller and with less weight. But you don’t always need a T-70 to perform some duties. That is why I wrote T-625 Gokbey and T-925 Heavy utility...

T70 Blackhawk helicopters are finally being delivered to their respective customers. When the license agreement was first signed there were going to be 109 units produced by Tusas for TSK and interior ministry plus a quantity for Forestry Ministry. Plus for every T70 Turkey purchased one T70...

If you listen to him carefully he is saying “now look, this is a cruise missile” Not an a2a missile. But a cruise missile. Besides, what they are discussing is the opening of the internal weapon bay doors of the TFX, over a very old computer generated animation mock up. You can’t really take...

The equipment used in an-apg83 radar has a signal range of 370km. But there is also the detection range of target (knowing what your target is and where it is.) This detection range , according to below site is 65 nautical miles (120km)...

I don’t want to waste time on a 40 minute tvshow to find what this guy says. (You should have given a specific time slot to watch.) It doesn’t really matter what he says. SSB is the official mouthpiece for defence industry and as far as I know there hasn’t been an announcement about a 5mach a2a...

Yes it will have a ramjet engine. But Ramjets don’t perform well over 4Mach. They are at their most efficient mode around 2.5-3.5 Mach. They could fly at 5 Mach. But would use too much fuel. After 5 Mach it is better to use scramjets. As this missile is going to be used against targets at...

As mentioned, they are not copies. But alternatives. Turkey uses US built platforms like ships and planes and avionics that are geared for using US weapons. Best way to integrate a Turkish Gokdogan to an f16, is to build it like an amraam aim120 and let the plane recognise it as an aim120. HKG...

There is no Mach-5 a2a development information that has been released by our SSB. As far as a2a missiles go, one of the fastest ones in development is the AIM-260 JATM which will most probably use a dual pulse rocket engine to propel the missile to the expected speed of 5 Mach. It needs this...
