@Anmdt must have meant Sub-Atmaca. Yes. But if memory serves, all harpoons in current combatants were going to be replaced with Atmaca missiles. To do this control consoles on the ships will be changed as well. So new Atmaca-Specific consoles are to be installed in all surface ships that will...

All non topic posts were moved to a new sub forum : Turkish History and Culture New thread: Turkish history You may carry on discussing matters pertaining to Turkish history and culture et al over there.

Once again this is a thread for Mavi Vatan - Blue Homeland. Please stay on topic. If you want to discuss Ottoman History and Sultans please do It elsewhere.

The delays occurring in LM‘s F16 production line; Are they due to parts not being produced fast enough or is it because they do not have the manpower/production space for F16 orders? If it is the latter TAI production line - even if it is at a slow speed - will still be a better choice. I know...

All the Aegean islands, apart from the so called ”12” islands (in red) and Crete, were lost to Greece post 1830 during and after Greek Independence. Remaining “12” islands, Crete and Thessalia and Ionina were lost in the 1912 Balkan Wars. Crete was given to Greece. But the “12” islands were...

YES. But with all this in mind, for the prospective order of Turkish F16s, doesn’t that make it more feasible for LM to let TAI produce the planes under license, and then sell them back to TAF via FMS system, getting more profit quicker?

I wonder if these are the correct numbers! I had recently come across a newspiece about Ukraine admitting to have over 20 TB2s. No country would like to release exact numbers.

First of all, welcome to the forum. What you are suggesting is the logical thing to do. But in order to realise what you are suggesting, most important part to produce - the engine - has to be indigenously manufactured. We still have a fairly long road to cover on that. We still have not got a...

With air to air and air to ground weapons ever improving, and as their ranges and capabilities exceeding most of the AD systems’ effective ranges, the future of the agile and highly manoeuvrable jet fighters may be questioned. We need fast jets to get our bombs and weapons, quickly to the...

Yes it has. They are in tandem formation like the ones carried by Aksungur. https://www.tusas.com/medya-merkezi/haberler/aksungur-12-mam-l-ile-28-saat-uctu Akinci can carry 24 MAM-L missiles, in tandem form like the Aksungur...

That means it is typo in the Turkish part.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akinci-tiha-combat-proven-oldu/ Akinci UCAV has become combat proven. It has used MAM-L ammunition with particle-effect version on ground targets.

https://www.tusas.com/en/products/uav/high-payload-capacity-uas/aksungur Tusas site clearly says 40000ft for service ceiling.

A Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM), system like “Porcupine” is effective in an area 400m x 400m. The range of 10 km stated above for a 20mm Gatling gun, is just not possible. As a C-RAM it probably is an effective system. But I am quite hopeful for our Korkut too for a similar job, if it...

First of all let us clarify; by definition, MALE UAV is a plane that operates between 10-30000ft altitude. HALE UAV is a plane that operates at altitudes higher than 30000ft. So by definition both Aksungur and Akinci are High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drones. The new Anka drone in it’s...

These are MTOWs. When one speaks of a 10ton class, it is the total weight with which the helicopter can fly. That includes, carcass, payload, fuel and avionics et al. t-129 is 5 ton class. T-629 is 6 ton class and so on. edit: As per @Zafer ‘s addition, these helicopters can manage more than...

Rocket artillery missiles are big cumbersome weapons. They have a very high ballistic trajectory. They can be stopped by modern AD systems. So I wouldn’t compare a 155mm shell sized weapon with a rocket artillery missile (apples to apples, you are looking at TRG300 and bigger. Hence probably not...

155mm Artillery shells are cheap but not very accurate. Their range, unless base-bleed is used, will not exceed 30km. With base-bleed you are looking at 40km. Excalibur rounds with maximum 55 km range, are very accurate against stationary targets. But are very expensive (best part of 70 thousand...

I guess it is cheaper to test these missiles with Akinci rather than F16, especially as they are going to be used by MIUS too. Akinci is not a fighter jet. It just seems odd for it to have both these missiles, which are the primary air to air attack and defence weapons of a fully fledged...
