Just because the bypass ratio of TF-6000 is 1.08 and not 0.5 doesn‘t make it high bypass ratio engine. Yes it has more air going around the engine than similarly powered military jet engines. But it is still low bypass. In order to qualify as a high bypass engine ratio, the ratio needs to be in...

Bora 2 is definitely there somewhere as mentioned by one of the ministers around 4 years ago. But it is a strategic tactical weapon. It is a game changer weapon. It is a weapon you do not advertise too much about. If one has to speculate, it must be around 500km range missile with at least 500kg...

Re: GaN based Aesa radars Saab offers Gripen E with GaN based Aesa radar. Same is offered to those who wish to upgrade the radar on Gripen C. Current Raven Radar has GaAs modules. But they have integrated the GaN based radar to the plane for customers who will go for it...

You are right. Duly noted and corrected.

This company not only produces 20mm to 40mm cannons for ground forces; But they also produce cannons for air platforms. (They have capacity to produce 12.7mm to 105mm barrels.) So the long awaited 30mm cannon for Atak-2 is coming! Although there were rumours that TFX would not have a cannon on...

Yes. He says so far they have produced over 400 TB2s. They have a current yearly capacity of 200 TB2 . But next year they are planning to manufacture 500 TB2s and 40 Akincis.

Milden will be the culmination of what we have learnt and gathered in submarine construction technology. Having manufactured and modernised a good number of these boats in Turkey, albeit some work done under licence, Turkish submarine building technology has matured to a level whereby a totally...

@Blackhawk One very important point you may have overlooked is the difference between GaAs based and GaN based T/R modules. With more than 5-8 times more power output and receive sensitivity, GaN modules can fry opposing platforms’ standard radars as they are transmitting high powered microwave...

Please be respectful towards each other when discussing matters. Personal attacks are against forum rules.

It will also propel Kizilelma. As well as KE propulsion, 4 of these will propel FAC type boats. Also industrial use for oil pumps and electric generation is being envisaged.

https://www.defenceturk.net/gozde-gudum-kitinin-testleri-basladi Gozde guidance kit’s field correction tests and integration tests have started. Gozde will allow 500lb dumb bombs to have pinpoint accuracy for shooting stationary and moving targets. They will be used from f16 planes and UAVs like...

Below is a beautiful anectode of how the victory of independence war came to conclusion. This is for the Turkish speaking members to understand and appreciate the importance of the day and how the war was won. It is the story of an artillery shell that went to and fro between the front and the...

Happy Victory Day to us all. 100 years ago today was the day the “bad luck” (makus talihi) of our nation came to an end.

1. KE is being shown at the Tenofest Karadeniz 2. It's structural integration is almost done 3. It will fly within the first months of 2023 4. It will be able to land and take off from tcg Anadolu. That last statement is very important. Especially it is mentioned that tb3 will also be operable...

They have been working on the TF6000 for over two years. Provided the first firing of the engine before end of year and/or we have a prototype by early next year, then another three years for the tests and integration, will make 2026 at the most before serial production. In the meantime, to fill...

https://www.defenceturk.net/aselsan-ile-tusas-ucak-modernizasyonu-sozlesmesi-imzaladi Tusas and Aselsan have signed a contract to implement OZGUR modernisation to the 35 or so Block 30 F16 planes in TuAF inventory. We know that the serial production stage of parts for the OZGUR modernisation had...

Of course economics are important. But when it is human lives in question and valuable assets you wish to protect, economics go out of the window. You may have to use a 100thousand dollar missile to stop a 1thousand dollar shell. You may have to use a hisar or even Siper missile to intercept a...

@UkroTurk Iron dome missile system of Israel is built to defend against incoming mortar and artillery shells and rockets as well as ballistic missiles and air breathing cruise missiles and planes. With the exception of unguided 122mm multi launch rocket systems artillery rockets like trg230 and...

ESSM has a “top” speed close to 4 Mach. It uses a dual thrust engine for propulsion. That means the fuel has two components : 1. A fast burning component that gives initial high speed 2. A slow burning component that sustains high speed. Our hisar and Siper range missiles use dual Pulse engines...

I think @Anmdt has given the answer to your post here. But I would like to add couple of points : 1. The booster used in Siper block 0 doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be used in subsequent blocks. It can be more streamlined and lengthened to accommodate quad packing. Use of special fuel...
