This is really interesting! Germany sells IRIS-T-SL to Egypt. Clearly they have air defence technology in house. Albeit it is a medium range atmospheric interception air defence system. But they buy Israeli Arrow-3 system for their own air defence. Again this one being an exoatmospheric system...

https://militaryleak.com/2022/04/02/ukraine-strikes-russian-armed-forces-with-kvitnik-semi-active-laser-guided-ammunition/?amp According to this site Ukraine has been using 152mm KVITNIK semi active laser guidance munition to hit Russian armour. Being fired from 152mm howitzer guns, KVITNIK has...

Akinci is definitely bigger but flies at a quarter of the speed of MIUS. MIUS is slightly heavier too. MIUS is going to be a very agile and fast plane. Remember most jet fighters do most of their flights and manoeuvres at high subsonic speeds. To withstand physical stresses the body of MIUS...

Let’s translate some of the bullet points: Hurjet will fly next March. TFX is going to roll out as well. TFX engine can be made in house. Atak2 cost will be more than half of a modern fighter jet. In other words; It is not cheap. We will sell Gokbey by the dozens. Kazakhstan received their 3...

This is a great way to manufacture all composite bodies. But a plane the size like MIUS which will fly at supersonic speeds and perform very fast turns. Surely there must be substantial amount of metal carcass present there. Any ideas?

Very informative video. But please remember to write an English summary or explanation for our non Turkish members to understand as well .

It mentions Mahmut Aksit being Assc. Professor (Doçent) . Mahmut Faruk Aksit is a fully fledged Professor and MD of TEI.. This one is another younger Mahmut Aksit from another University. Please don’t get then mixed up.

I suggest you read the previous message that @HTurk has written in post #2972 to which I had responded. Then my response will make sense. I am not writing about CAKIR or any missile that has datalink and swarm capability. I am writing about “bunch of guided missiles” as per post #2972, of which...

So if you fire 4 guided trg300 successively, they come together after a while and automatically become a swarm even if they haven’t got datalink connection. These are simple, cheap guided missiles to suppress enemy positions. Unless swarm capability is given to a missile that statement you...

https://blog.geaviation.com/product/ges-adaptive-cycle-engine-deliver-transformational-performance/ GE has been working on CMC - Ceramic Matrix-Composite materials to improve the thermal and physical characteristics of jet engines used in fighter planes. F414 engine trials have shown the success...

English explanation please!

Which part is wrong? Swarm Saturation? Your TOT and STOT explanation IS Swarm Saturation attack mode. Atmaca can achieve swarm attack mode by redirecting itself via data link info it receives from source, bringing 2 or more missiles launched successively, in line for swarming. You are explaining...

When you fire a bunch of guided missiles at a target, they all fly at the target successively at different times with a good amount of distance between them. This gives opportunity to selectively target incoming missiles and time for defending ship to target one after the other. Cakir has...

That is the news in a lot of circles. But remember that the KC-135s are going through major avionics based upgrading. One plane already back with upgrades. Second is in US at the moment. Why spend money if Airbus 330 conversion is on the table? Unless of course they will all be included in to...

I wonder if any of the bidders, apart from the Chinese can meet the deadlines for delivery. Even countries like Germany has to wait until 2025 for the production of their typhoon planes that they produce themselves in house. I can’t see Hurjet being ready by that deadline when it hasn’t even...

Fully agree with you. When you have limited number of tubes and missile storage spaces available, you would want to use them for your most “meaningful” and relevant weapons. Nothing can replace the devastation caused by an under hull explosion of a heavy weight torpedo. So you would only use...

For coastal defences I am waiting for the news of 500+km range Bora -2 with improved terminal speed that can hit moving sea targets, until our own sea skimming ramjet and scramjet missiles become a reality. A Brahmos class ramjet powered anti ship missile hitting any destroyer class ship head...
