These tanks are not going to be powered by all electric powerpacks. It will be a hybrid drive train. Just check out Firtina Hybrid power pack. You save so much weight with no transmission, lot less fuel and smaller engine that you can afford to put more batteries. 47ton Howitzer is powered by a...

It looks like it has a blanket cover on it. The same cover that is around the nose and the canards extends over the fuselage and small part of the wings. It may have been done to hide something from the prying eyes of those NATO officials visiting Baykar.

OK Got it. But if Roketsan is involved in the program and these missiles are being integrated in to Submarines’ sub systems, wouldn’t you be more aware of the peculiarities of the IRIS-T missile? Is 40km range being halved “in our case” to do with Export version? If so that is a big cut in...

But doesn’t that mean that we know all the ins and outs of that IRIS-T missile? Doesn’t Greece use IRIS missiles on their planes as well?

It is in fact easier than producing a 1500HP Diesel engine with 4500Nm torque and try to fit it in a constrained space. The Hybrid power unit they have built for the Firtina develops 10000Nm torque and 1200HP power.

https://www.turdef.com/Article/mke-inc-prepares-e-engine-solution-altay-mbt/1745 If this news is correct, then MKE is on the right track. After the M113 and the Firtina howitzer hybrid solutions, MKE is eyeing to go for a hybrid solution for the Altay MBT. We will see if this will become a reality.

IDAS project developed by the Thyssen-Krupp of Germany, and where Roketsan joined in to the consortium later, is a short range air defence missile to hunt submarine hunter helicopters and low flying anti submarine planes. It is a human in the loop optical cabled missile system with a range of...

Even ten years is an optimistic time. But that has to be supported with financial clout too. Independent natural resources with an economy of 30+ thousand dollar nominal GDP per capita is a vital part of that equation. Japan and Germany don’t have natural resources. Look what happened to them...

”Assuming legal framework is legit” is a very open ended supposition. 1. If you are talking about legitimate legality related to nuclear bombs, then you are talking about a country that has signed nuclear non-proliferation treaty and has not got nuclear bombs. That means, that country can not...

Sorry! But your point? I didn’t quite understand what you meant. Can you please open it up a bit? Indonesian section too has to provide a concise translation of the topic in English. They need to convey the basic information across in English for everyone to understand. That goes for our...

Having nuclear power plants doesn’t mean you are going to be able to make nuclear bombs. Like in the case of Turkey, Akkuyu power plant’s used Uranium will be taken away by the Russians. So there is no chance for Turkey enriching Uranium of Akkuyu. Also whatever used uranium we obtain in Cekmece...

As per @TheInsider ‘s above post, it does look like a local production with all rights in hand. Since L3Harris has already given these rights to the Turkish company, there is no going back on it.

Going through straight logic and how international sales are conducted; ”MTU is owned by RR. But UK government has no say on it’s selling decisions. German government decides. L3Harris is essentially an American company. So US will have a say in who they can sell and can’t. Germans don’t have a...

You need to get a hold of your mannerism first. I warned you about the wrong language use. The exclamation marks are there to let you know that your post was not in English. Even now the article you have shared is in Turkish. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt and removed your warning...

When you are restricted like that, then you need to write a small explanatory note as a concise translation of the article. The language of the forum is English and we all have to abide by it. It has nothing to do with my comfort or pleasure! No need to be pragmatic and cocky!

Not on my screen! Unless I use auto google translate! Great info on the power pack of Firtina howitzer being upgraded to 1200HP, and more interestingly the same power pack to be used in M60A3 tank modernisation.

How many L-Umtas can a TB2 carry, Even if it were certified for it?

I would like to remind here to remember @merzifonlu ’s post regarding the future of our airforce, depending on UCAVs. I think the more the number of different missiles like these the merrier. We will find uses for all of them. But I do agree with @boracetkin that we are very trigger happy in...

Agreed! As per @I_Love_F16 and @boracetkin have mentioned, if there has been instances whereby Mam-L appeared to have caused not enough damage, then instead of using an expensive munition like Mam-T, Sage’s KAYI munition with it’s 50kg overall weight will destroy any modern armour. But if a...

It was clearly mentioned that Bozok sits between Mam-C and Mam-L. It hasn’t got the destructive power of Mam-L. It is for lightly armoured vehicles and vehicles that carry infantry and trucks. Because of it’s lighter weight, UAVs like TB2 can stay in air longer. Or can operate at a higher altitude.
