When talking about Greeks one should also remember that people who were sent to Greece during the post 1920s exchange were not really Greek by descent. Byzantine was actually Roman. People living in Anatolia who were not Muslim were descendants of the Lydians, Luwians, Cilicians and most...

I was a bit sceptical about the whole thing looking at the scale of work involved. But Mr I Sunnetci has been involved in the discussion. So that made me to be more inclined to believing it. Albeit with reservations.

Not if Kale goes with RR, TEI works with GE and TRMotor doubles up with Motor Sich. I don’t understand the separate involvement of TR Motor. They do not have production capability. They seem to have teamed up with Ivchenko Progress recently, who too don’t have production capability. That is why...

If you check this out carefully it involves : 1. Twin engined Tusas MIUS 2. Twin engined Baykar MIUS 3. Twin engined Hurjet Naval 4. Twin engined Hurjet UAV. These are serious number of plane developments that involve serious amount of work and finance. I am guessing that the single engined...

All very well about Turkey being self sufficient in her defence industry etc. But let us not forget that because we have joint development and production programs with the western companies, -be it, radar systems, F35 parts production, Jet engine parts, missile system development and part...

They were due to be delivered in September. But were delayed. If below news is correct, Philippines are not very happy for the delay. But the first two Atak helicopters are to be delivered next month now.

You may watch the bullet points here:

Probably is not a cheap radar. So only 8 Aesa radars for the 24 TB2s will be used. quote: Polonya tarafından her birinde 6 adet SİHA bulunan 4 setlik TB2 SİHA alımı (toplamda 24 adet) yapılacak. Her bir sette; 3 adet Baykar Mobil Yer Kontrol İstasyonu (Mobil YKİ) 6 adet MX-15 EO/IR Sensör 2...

Not necessarily! It says “certain” combat capabilities. Do you know of the engine usage licence agreement between GE and Tusas?

Just a small comment on above; We all know that Saab Gripen jet fighter has one of the best airframes in it’s class. This makes it very agile and achieve mach 2 speeds with a version of F404 engine developing 18100lbf. Akaer group has been instrumental in the development of the Saab Gripen. They...

According to the “armed forces of UK 2007-2008” site , the initial cost of the typhoon program was 16.7 billion pounds. (160 planes in total) Making it the highest ever for a military program In UK. That is 110 million pounds per plane. Qatar bought 24 of these for a contract of 6 billion...

Lhtech-800 was the starting point of the engine. According to TEI’s site, it has 2 stage radial compressor, reverse flow combustion chamber, 2 stage axial HP turbine section and a 2 stage axial power turbine.

According to the latest estimates it will cost approximately 65million pounds per unit to upgrade tranche 1 & 2 to tranche 4 level. Plane’s initial value has to be added to this too.

It is ts1400‘s “so called core” with all it’s guts renewed, changed in to an axial flow turbofan. In all honesty they might as well redesign the whole engine from scratch. It will probably be easier. Garrett 109 is a small high bypass 20inch diameter turbofan engine. (It’s turbine diameter must...

This Garrett engine is tiny compared to ts1400. Also it is a high bypass turbofan. (5:1). ( As an example; Ukranian engine AI222 is low bypass with AB has a bypass ratio of 1.19:1) Totally different. 20inches diameter contains the fan which has to be big to create the high bypass value and...
