I lost you, what has Atmaca to do with the hull mounted sonar on MMSC? You probably mean AKYA torpedo. So Greek motto is we do not need SONAR because Turkey has to go for an all out war. Great planning, what can I say :)

What you say I can agree for the Aegean, which is mostly shallow and I concur that hull mounted sonar has less effect to none. But what about Mediterranean? Are Greeks planning to stay out of the Mediterranean?

What do you guys think of the MMSC? Overall it is good, kinda like our I-class. There is one particular item that the MMSC lacks: hull mounted sonar As you know the LCS (now renamed to MMSC) is designed on US specs for US coast and actually more used as OPV than real frigate while it initially...

Ok, tell me also why TB2 and Harop were so successfull and not other types of drones that are equally slow

It won't be exact of course but pretty close. The RCS values of F22 is for instance even for X-band radars a problem and that makes the F22 so unique, otherwise technologically the F35 is much much more modern and advanced.

Not really, F35 is much bigger and heavier. Yet is has a much smaller RCS

EW is a good theorie but unlikely IMO, reason is that Pantsirs in Libya were destroyed at distances that are unlikely for Turkish EW to have any effect. Secondly most TB2 downing's occurred in Tripolis when the drone was ascending or descending for take off and landing coming into the range of...

I want to discuss a little bit about the success of drones like TB2 and Israeli Harop. As lately Azerbaijan used these drone very successfully against Russian type airdefense systems like OSA, TOR-M2 and even S-300. The biggest enabler of these drones were their "stealth" low radar cross...

Look at the writer of the article. Writen by Burak Ege Bekdil, this guy never shows any source and just writes something he makes up. I would not put to mutch hope on his writings.

This year we unfortunately have less defense exports compared to 2019. In 2019 Turkey achieved $2.741bln in defense exports, this year attributed to the covid pandemic countries have spend less and so we see that back in our exports as well. In the first 10 months of 2020 the exports stands at...

Bu son günlerde Aselsan tarafindan tanitimi yapilan STR radari birçok yönü ile İsrail Elta EL/M-2084 MMR (470 km for air surveillance/ 100 km for enemy weapon location detection) radarına benzemekte (bunu söyleyen sayin Ibrahim Sünetçi) ufak değişikliklerle hava savunma atış kontrol görevi de...

If UK is interested I would think the interest would go to Aksungur with her long endurance and low operating cost due to double turbodiesel engines. Reapers are good but more expensive, also in operation

Check the detail: APAR* Bl2 (= X-BAND AESA radar!!!) X-band becomes more and more important with all those stealth fighters and drones.

UK has reaper drones, but it could be that they are looking for cheaper alternatives too. And Turkish drones made quite an impression Would be nice if we could sell drones to UK, would instantly open all markets in the world

Let Germany put embargoes, in the end they are curbing their own defense industry. Take the Netherlands, in 2014 the Netherlands exported for 240mln euro of defense materials to Turkey, in 2019 this was only 20mln euro. Did the Netherlands achieve anything with embargoes? Yes they're destroying...

Mr Ibrahim Sünetçi has outdone himself again, many thanks for all of his valuable work. For his full article read: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hisar-ailesi-ve-siper-hava-savunma-f%C3%BCze-sistemlerinde-s%C3%BCnnetci Let me recap the most important parts The Turkish air defense system will...

Greeks want everything, and if all their wishes had come true they'd have now 80 Eurofighters, 8 FREMM's, 4 Belharra's etc. etc. Let them get it first and see than At this moment Greece want to buy MMSC ships or F35. And if they really have signed the Rafale contract with the French than they...

I did some research, as far as I found Pakistan ordered a "naked" platform from the Dutch shipping yard Damen The ship will be fitted with a gun, anti-ship missiles (2x4), machine guns, secondary gun or CIWS, decoy launchers and the corresponding electronic equipment (FCS, ESM, Radars). It...
