https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akinci-tiha-icin-ilk-ihracat-sozlesmesi-imzalandi/ Well this is a first. We haven’t even got enough of them operating. But Baykar has already signed an export sale contract for the Akinci UCAV. Any guesses who that can be? My money is on Ukraine!

Can F-35 carry Meteor? Here is an excerpt of the answer of the article to this question: BAE Systems and MBDA have been contracted to complete the integration of Meteor and Spear missiles onto the Lockheed Martin F-35 for two European operators. ... The fifth-generation fighter will be able...

Before our esteemed members enlighten us regarding the Siper missiles’ operational envelope information, I would like to ask another question about using SAMs as Anti Ship missiles; How effective can they be with around 15kg of explosives? (SAMP/T Aster series have 15kg explosives) Now, if a...

Yes we know that. We were even on the receiving end of it. (Muavenet with 2 sea sparrow missiles was hit in 1992). But does Siper missile have surface to surface attack formation built in it’s operational envelope? Or does that capability come automatically?

I had mentioned the issue of the orders in hand and the delay of production in LM for our prospective F16-V70 orders due to their busy production line. I was hoping Tusas production could hurry this process. If this is not possible and I am sure our guys knew all this; I wonder why they asked...

We don’t have enough on Karaok. But it is a Turkish Javelin missile. Both missiles have a range of 2500m. If memory serves I had read somewhere that Karaok can pierce through minimum, 500mm steel equivalent behind ERA. According to Javelin specs, it can pierce through 600mm behind ERA. So they...

We are in agreement with all but the last statement. How are you going to kill Fremm frigates with Siper missiles? Unless you mean the I-Class will be superior to Fremm with the addition of twin packed Sipers.

That looks like a top attack test. Against most modern tanks this is the best method of destroying them as it is the weakest point. Being a fairly light and small missile, it may not have enough punch to pierce through heavy side and front armour of MBTs. But will be useful for medium tanks and...

Hisar U has become Siper according to all publications. please see below :

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/hisar-o-tum-unsurlariyla-teslim-edildi/ Hisar O+ system has been delivered to Turkish Armed Forces with all it’s ancillary equipment and elements. So that means the short and medium altitude air defence systems for Turkey are now operational. Next in line is the...

@Anmdt , is CODAE propulsion like CODLAG or CODLOG ? Combined Diesel Electric And/Or Gas? In this case Combined diesel and Electric.? Any similarity to AZP or IEP ?

Re: f35 As well as increasing the RCS of the plane while opening weapon bay doors (apparently for over 4 seconds) , when the plane is at 25000ft or lower there is significant overheating problem of the surfaces If the plane has flown for more than 10 minutes at that altitude, which hinders the...

TFX internal bays’ original size may have not allowed many missiles. In fact even SOM-J would not be accommodated. But Tubitak Sage MD has stated clearly that the SOM-J will be carried inside. That is a big missile. So the internal bays’ design must have changed. Until March 2023, we can only...

Most importantly according to Gürcan Okumuş, It will be able to house SOM-J inside the internal weapons bays. https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/bilim-teknoloji/tubitak-sage-turkiyenin-yeni-fuzelerini-hazirliyor/2250793

1. if it is BMC that is going to do the modernisation, then it is under new ownership. Give them a chance to correct all the wrongs made in the past. 2. Somebody has to start this modernisation. My understanding is Aselsan and Roketsan are in charge of this modernisation. 3. Current...

This is good news! At least we will have 500 modern tanks that will be able to withstand some of today’s threats in battlefields. (169 M60TM + 331 modernised 2A4s) if by 2027to 2028 we can have 250 Altay tanks as well, in view of where tanks are today, it could be enough for us. (Provided as...

According to above news tweet in September 2021, Prof Mahmut Aksit had announced that they are in negotiation with GE to be able to produce the F404GE102 engine with at least 40-50% domestic contribution at TEI. If there is a contract signed for 80 engines, then we hope that there is TEI...

So difficult decisions to make for the Malaysians! Something will sway them in the end.
