Have you seen the shape of L39 Albatros? It’s airframe is not designed to go supersonic. It has a MTOW of 4700kg with an engine that maxes out at 3800lbf. Please do not compare apples with pears. We are discussing about a stealth plane with an airframe that will fly supersonic.

Before guessing whether MIUS can manage super cruise or not one should put on the table concrete points to support their claim. @Combat-Master has ”suggested” that it could. As explained above it has a lot to do with the 1. Airframe design 2. Thrust to weight ratio 3. Flight altitude. Engine...

Super cruise can be achieved if the thrust to weight ratio is right and the plane is flying at rarified atmospheric altitudes and most importantly if the airframe is suitable. It has nothing to do with being 6000lbf or 10000lbf thrust level. This is a 6000kg plane. Gripen with 14000kg take off...

76mm Naval gun, having completed it’s land tests, is getting ready to start sea trials. It uses all indigenously produced rounds. It has achieved 80 rounds per minute firing speed. It has 16km range with standard rounds and 20km with”special” rounds. It has attracted export possibilities even...

For a stealth fighter, the main advantage you get with supersonic speed is to get to your battlefield and leave your position quicker apart from dodging missiles. But if you are going to loiter for 6+ hours on air, subsonic is all you need. It would decrease your Infra Red signature, especially...

@xizhimen and @Nilgiri have given the answer to many questions here. What you need are Uranium, centrifuges and most importantly the nuclear knowhow. With Cekmece reactor -albeit small- operating for many decades now, we should have the knowhow needed. If there is a will there is a way. We don’t...

Wow!! When did they produce this? That is lightning speed! Come on TEI! Get that TF6000 engine ready at the same speed!

Don’t underestimate MTU Aero engines. They work similar to TEI bu are in fact ahead of TEI with their set up. They have been manufacturing jet engines and parts for much longer than TEI. They do design, develop and produce aero engines in conjunction with companies like P&W and GE for commercial...

Dr Aksit is definItely a brain and asset this country has produced that needs to be respected. But he does like to blow his own trumpet a bit too much at times, and whilst doing that exaggerates to a certain degree. There are engine producers like GE, P&W, RR and Safran that are in a league of...

These tanks are not going to be powered by all electric powerpacks. It will be a hybrid drive train. Just check out Firtina Hybrid power pack. You save so much weight with no transmission, lot less fuel and smaller engine that you can afford to put more batteries. 47ton Howitzer is powered by a...

It looks like it has a blanket cover on it. The same cover that is around the nose and the canards extends over the fuselage and small part of the wings. It may have been done to hide something from the prying eyes of those NATO officials visiting Baykar.

OK Got it. But if Roketsan is involved in the program and these missiles are being integrated in to Submarines’ sub systems, wouldn’t you be more aware of the peculiarities of the IRIS-T missile? Is 40km range being halved “in our case” to do with Export version? If so that is a big cut in...

But doesn’t that mean that we know all the ins and outs of that IRIS-T missile? Doesn’t Greece use IRIS missiles on their planes as well?

It is in fact easier than producing a 1500HP Diesel engine with 4500Nm torque and try to fit it in a constrained space. The Hybrid power unit they have built for the Firtina develops 10000Nm torque and 1200HP power.

https://www.turdef.com/Article/mke-inc-prepares-e-engine-solution-altay-mbt/1745 If this news is correct, then MKE is on the right track. After the M113 and the Firtina howitzer hybrid solutions, MKE is eyeing to go for a hybrid solution for the Altay MBT. We will see if this will become a reality.

IDAS project developed by the Thyssen-Krupp of Germany, and where Roketsan joined in to the consortium later, is a short range air defence missile to hunt submarine hunter helicopters and low flying anti submarine planes. It is a human in the loop optical cabled missile system with a range of...

Even ten years is an optimistic time. But that has to be supported with financial clout too. Independent natural resources with an economy of 30+ thousand dollar nominal GDP per capita is a vital part of that equation. Japan and Germany don’t have natural resources. Look what happened to them...

”Assuming legal framework is legit” is a very open ended supposition. 1. If you are talking about legitimate legality related to nuclear bombs, then you are talking about a country that has signed nuclear non-proliferation treaty and has not got nuclear bombs. That means, that country can not...

Sorry! But your point? I didn’t quite understand what you meant. Can you please open it up a bit? Indonesian section too has to provide a concise translation of the topic in English. They need to convey the basic information across in English for everyone to understand. That goes for our...
