The site you have given is a forum. And the person making the so called calculations is admitting that he is guessing. Any missile that is not dual thrust or not dual pulse or not a missile with a throttleable ramjet engine, will never give you a definite long NEZ value. Many factors will effect...

Correct! To use your own satellites is the only way when it is defence matters that you are planning. We can’t depend on US or foreign based systems. But low orbit satellites can be susceptible to laser weapons and missile attack. China and Russia already working on laser and microwave weapons...

By using relay stations in high positions like Aselsan’s Karagöz and other high flying UAVs , you can overcome the couple of second signal latency problem. https://www.aselsan.com.tr/Aerostat_Surveillance_System_Product_Family_4188.pdf

A stealthy MIUS with 6000lbf dry and 10000lbf military thrust that can fly 1.4mach and carry 1500kg of payload and has AI to complement it, is : 1. Very agile and capable in a dogfight as almost all manoeuvring is done at subsonic speeds, 2. Cheap enough to be expendable, 3. Has enough payload...

Yes. But, 120D (also known as 120C8) was developed from 120C7 by improving engine and seeker head and navigational parameters. Giving it a larger NEZ envelope. It also has a two way data link where 120C7 has a one way data link. http://www.fi-aeroweb.com/Defense/AMRAAM.html So potentially with...

If there were more people like me in key positions, there wouldn’t be any refugee problem today. Because I wouldn’t allow that to happen. This is a multinational, multicultural and a multi religious forum. There are rules here that bides every user. Racism and racial hatred with foul language...

If we recap previous posts; The Akbaba missile being developed by Roketsan, will have a solid fuelled ramjet engine. But the Gökhan air to air missile developed by Tubitak Sage will have a liquid fuelled (most likely a Gel-liquid based) ramjet engine. So two different ramjet applications...

Check out posts #3066 and #3067 by @Cabatli_53 in April this year. Page 154 there should be some tests being done on these missiles. But I guess due to the nature of secrecy surrounding them, it will take sometime before they are revealed. Especially the Akbaba ramjet which will be targeting AD...

Subject to this news being correct, it seems that the Gokce MK83 based guided penetration bombs with new structural upgrades gaining autopilot and moving target capability will be going in to serial production this year.

Unfortunately YES to first question. But citizenships given through naturalisation can be taken back by government decree. Especially if there are “irregularities” in the way they have been given. Citizenship in Turkey is earned through kinship. Being born in Turkey does not necessarily entitle...

A true refugee is a person who is either deported by force from his/her country or have had to leave home because it is being occupied by hostile forces whereby the said person’s life is in danger. Hence he/she is seeking refuge. It is difficult to sympathise with people who take advantage of...

In it’s roots there may lie a degree of racism. But as civilised and educated human beings we should be better than giving in to racist rhetoric. Refugee problem is not just a problem of race. In fact far from it; 1. It is a demographic problem for Turkey. Population concentration in certain...

I agree that it is doable with STOBAR. With only 10 planes capacity in it’s hangars, the ship doesn’t really need much. The only problems are; The back of the ship having a recess and a lift that detracts from total usable runway length. And the destruction of perfectly good deck that has...

@Corvus , there is a fine line between nationalism and racism. We are following these posts. The minute they are out of line they will be deleted and owners of posts will be warned. The problem subject here is the refugees. Not tourists. Turkey earns good income from tourists. But you and I...

YES! That makes more sense. I always thought they were capable of doing that anyway. But apparently they weren’t to start with. But now they are. That is a very important capability. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

What do you make of that last sentence? It doesn‘t make sense. If this were the first supersonic firing, what speed previous tests were made at? This missile IS supersonic. In fact it should have speed of around 4mach. My only explanation is that the wording has been wrong. (By replacing the...

If you re read my post again you will see that I have already told you this. He says: ” Hurjet has over 5tons of bombs on it. We are in the process of making sure it lands and takes off with it from a carrier too” You are making assumptions without concrete proof in your hand. Everyone here is...

PRC has a testing facility in Taklamakan Dessert where they have been testing DF21D’s accuracy. They claim to have achieved a CEP value of under 20m...

Yes. Also jamming GPS signal was a problem. But if I remember correctly, Anka-S had satellite link that made it immune to EW anyway. However Anka also had special equipment developed originally by Tubitak and completed by Meteksan that nullified GPS Jamming/spoofing and EW activity. This was...
