After a range of 150 km, and especially if you want an anti-ballistic defense system, things suddenly become difficult. Then you start playing by the rules of a completely different game. Rockets need to be extremely fast. Radars and algorithms also need to be very superior etc. In my opinion...

I think that Greeks are worrying about the wrong project. They should be worried that Turkiye will have the ability to produce air & sea drones when it wants and as much as it needs. Turkiye can also produce smart munitions in the style of Çakır, which are the weapons of these drones, I didn't...

The aircraft carrying the operators will always stand high. Like 10-15 km. 8 km is an approximate altitude that I chose to simplify the calculation. But you're basically right about altitude. In a mountainous landscape like Turkiye, the LOS will be interrupted frequently. It's a dynamic...

Ask @Yasar (Yerden yükselince LOS menzili ne kadar oluyor, anlatsın. Ben de anlatırım da oturup hesaplamam lazım. Tembel adamım ben.) Anyway, I calculate. LOS = (2x6371xh1)^0,5 + (2x6371xh2)^0,5 If h1=h2=8 km, then LOS 620 km h1, h2 Are the altitudes of the aircrafts, respectively. And 6371...

No. Why should I go to all this trouble and risk if I were to use a relay drone? Even if you rise 15 km from the ground, the LOS range becomes 1000s of km. If you are going to engage in A2A warfare, it is absolutely essential that a drone stays within LOS range all time. No relay drone needed. A...

I thought a lot about this. "How can we use the KE in air-to-air combat like F16s and instead of the F16s if we have to?" KE cannot be effectively managed from ground stations due to signal latency and loss of LOS. Current artificial intelligence technology is not sufficient for such complex...

It can be very effective, have superior features compared to its peers, etc. But guys, this is the ugliest shaped Turkish-made ammunition I've ever seen. What is this? :)

Yeah. An special APS is needed for helicopters. It seems that early warning and chaff systems are not enough anymore.

The F18 has an interesting story. While the F16 was being developed, the US Air Force had started the competition as usual. F16 was the winner of the competition. The F18, on the other hand, was developed on the basis of the aircraft that lost the aforementioned competition, upon the request of...

True. The F14 had a very powerful radar. In order to use that radar most effectively, the AIM-54 Phoenix missile was needed. There were two problems here, one potential and one real. Potential problem: Would the USA give us those missiles? This is uncertain. The real problem was this: Even...

Nah. F14s have always been problematic aircraft. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are seen as handsome in movies. Engine problems are notorious. F16 was best. Still best for us.

Money. :) They also didn't want to sell the F15.

Why would they ask? There are two possibilities. a) The information is correct, in which case he will not reveal its source anyway. b) Or the source of information is his own ass, in which case he cannot reveal the source again. :)

@Agha Sher; IMO Gökbey looks pretty stable.

Low by-pass ratio? Are you sure, Sir?

+1. Also Turkiye can easily obtain a much more deadly system than HIMARS by integrating a solid fuel missile engine into its TUBİTAK SAGE's Kuzgun guided munitions. While HIMARS can approach the target from only one direction, the Kuzguns thrown in this manner can attack the target from any...

Dr Akşit gives critical information here. He says that it is a little late in the design of the domestic engine for TFX! If the British Government does not quickly agree to develop an engine based on the RR Pearl turbofan engine, we may have to resort to an unprecedented method of developing...

Correction: Mr Akşit.

IMO, ban of VISA's is very very bad idea. Advocates of the VİSA ban argue that traveling to EU territory is not a right, but a privilege. This is a completely arrogant and racist approach. It is an attitude that will sound the alarm for us Turks. It gives the most obvious signals that an EU with...

Happy August 30 Victory Day. I wish many 30 Augusts celebrated in an atmosphere of peace.
