    My logic was that Umtas was produced as a Turkish replacement of US’s Hellfire, which is a 2 Mach missile, ours should be of the same ilk. Quote Both UMTAS variants are analogous to the AGM-114 Hellfire whose use on fixed wing aircraft and helicopters shaped the Middle East’s history for three...

    TR Turkey could acquire around 80 Eurofighter Typhoon Fighter Jets

    Tranche 4 version of EF-2000 has the best Aesa radar in it’s class. It is a twin engined plane. It has much more advanced computers on board, than any other 4th generation plane around. It has the lowest RCS in it’s class. But it is expensive to buy and maintain. It may cost us as much as 20...

    Not really specified! There is a lot of technical info at below site though. It is effective up to 17km range. For a 105mm artillery it is quite good. Due to it’s advanced Aselsan built FCS, and INS and GPS assisted targeting it is very accurate. Because it can be carried by a Sikorsky S-70 it...

    The plan is that the Sungur will be joining the inventory this year. (I thought ATAS is the acronym for Air To Air Stinger) There is work being carried out to increase Sungur’s effective range and altitude. So there may be a Sungur-ER to come yet...

    Don’t underestimate the progressive application of braking force. Safran’s mobile arresting system can handle jets travelling at 190knots. https://www.safran-group.com/products-services/emergency-mobile-arresting-systems-military-aircraft

    That looks more like a preparatory work carried out for an arresting system. I may be wrong but, it looks like they have taken out that area of the aft portion of the runway and covered it with a temporary surface material. Besides, if I remember correctly, the surface of the TCG Anadolu was...

    Just look at the picture at @Saithan ’s post. There is a f35 and the caption is about Tumosan arrester. It is probably a US produced arrester engine in the picture.

    Since when have we had F35 planes, to arrest them with Tumosan Engine? In below site there is more info on the subject. Apparently they have already delivered 60 units for the use of airforce...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Good question! My guess is that Kale/RR partnership will outsource a lot of parts from TEI. TEI has a lot of work in hand already. They will still carry on developing the indigenous engine. But now without time pressure. They have. TF6000 to develop, militarise TS-1400, serial production of...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Israel has got it. It is called “rampage” . Artillery rockets are intrinsically cheap weapons. But as soon as you start adding guidance on them, their price start going up. Israel, uses a guidance for stationary land targets. That keeps prices at check to a certain degree. But if you want to hit...

    TRG300 missile if fired from air will have a much longer range. If the missile doesn’t have to overcome the gravity’s pull and initial speed gain, it will go much longer. But you are correct , depending on the TRG300’s version, it’s range varies between 90km and 120km if fired from surface.

    Although never confirmed officially, Bora 2 missile will be able to hit moving sea targets from a 4-500km range if the previous chatter on the subject is correct. @Cabatli_53 had shared a post in Pakistan Defence forum regarding this issue over a couple of years ago. Same type of seeker head...

    TEI did a fantastic job with TS-1400. They need to be applauded for it. But how did they get to produce that engine? TEI has been producing CTS-800 engine for our T-129s under license. They had started producing T-700 engines under license too. They learned the intricacies involved in making a...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Having re-read my post several times, I couldn’t see optimism. In fact what I saw was exactly the opposite. Now, let’s start with TEI; Even Prof Aksit accepted that without the help and machinery GE brought in, TEI would not be in the position that it is today. Then there is Aselsan. Thales...
